TALKS OVER HIS PROGRAM
IT READS LIKE A NOVEL, BUT
THE LAST CHAPTER WILL BE
WRITTEN BY THE DEMOCRATS.
STILL EXPECTS TO BE ELECTED.

"A
had a long talk with Addicks and his
political manager, Charles II. Kittin-
ger yesterday, at which the plans for
organizing and running separate
Legislature were explained to the cor
respondent. Mr. Kittinger had little to
say, as he seemed to realize that IL
was not wise to disclose the plans
while the Kent county case is still in
the court, but Mr.. Addicks was willing
| to talk
He first congratulated himself that
he and his lieutenants had stolen a
march on the Democrats in filing a
contest against the Sussex county men
and thus preventing them from voting
IN the Legislature. He also felt conf
dent that the court will declare the
Kent Union Republicans elected, and
then they would vote to seat their
brethren from Sussex. He thought the
SIX Democrats from New Castle county
would be bound by the decision of the
Court of Errors and Appeals, and that
they would not make themselves a
court of inquiry to judge the qualifca-
tions of the other members, but would
| simply take the face Of the returns as
made by the Board of Canvass of Kent
county, which return is sure to show
that the Union Republicans received a
majority.
Addicks went on to say: "Unless the
Sussex county and Kent county con-
tests are decided in our favor and our
men seated, there will be two Legisla-
lures. If the Democrats in the General
Assembly do seat the Kent county
delegation and not the Sussex, there
will be two Legislatures. / propose
to control the Legislature and prevent
the election of a United States senator
by the Democrats. shall be elected
United States senator at Dover this
Winter"
1T will be all right to publish that,
will it?' asked the correspondent.
There's no doubt of it whatever.
shall be senator, and you may say so. "
Addicks then went on to explain the
plan. The Union Republicans will wait
to see if the Democrats will seat both
the Kent and Sussex delegations. Of the
Union Republicans, and if they do not
the Union Republicans will organize
their own Legislature. They will meet
in the Opera House, opposite the State
House, and, according to Addicks, they
will elect him United States senator
and then adjourn from time to time.
Neither Addicks nor his political man
ager expect their Legislature to pass
any laws. Both agreed that about the
only thing 1t would do would be to
elect AddiclSs senator, but il any one
wants any law or bin passed and ap.
plies to the Addicks Legislature they
will consider it just the same as If they
. were a regularly constituted legislative
body.
Il intend" said Addicks. Ito prevent
the election of Willard Salisbury oi
any other Democrat, whether he is fol
sound money or for free silver. / dom
