The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1899-02-13
WILL ADDICK'S
WIN.
Leader of the Union Men
Say They Are More
Confident Than Ever.

Dover Feh.-In view Of tho fact that
tho present anti-Addicks assemblymen
have declared their intention of continu.
ing their fight against John Edward Ad.
dicks until March 4, thero will be no de.
velopments OF interest in the senatorial
contest the coming week. There is talk
this afternoon that Anthony Higgins and
Jonathan $. Willis will again draw from
DIR. Joseph H. Chambers vote and that
before the week passes Mr. Higgins name
will lie more prominently mentioned In
the fight than heretofore.
But no matter whose name is mentioned
1t is now positive that no one other than
Mr.. Addicks can be elected. His forces
stand like u stone wall. They are impreg-
nablr, and claim that tho great hulk OF
| the Republican voters Of Delaware Is be-
hind them The break will surely come.
and although only six man OF the oppos-
| ing force can now DO depended upon to
support Mr.. Addlcks, his friends are sat
islied that five more, total II, cessary to
elect, will be compelled to eventually
elect the Claymcnt man.
MIR Addlck's men were never more hope.
| fn] than they Grc now and they are work
| ing in perfect harmony. with the absolute
certainty that victory will ultimately perch
| upon their banner.
A leader in the party said to your cor.
responded to-day: No man who wishes to
| lay claim to DO Republican OF delaware
can afford to further Ignore the action OF
or rofuso to conclr in the expressed will
Ga desire of a majority OF any Repub.
!ican caucu. or conference in which he
may participate. Tho sympathy of the
Republicans Of this state is with Mr.. Ad-
dicks in this contest. Believing as do
that his canssis right and confident TINT
sentiment Is growing stronger daily in his
behalf, and impressed with tho reliability
of the reports that come to Mr.. Addicks
friends am satisfied that he will be our
next United States Senator.
IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
The non curroncc today by tho House in
tho Senate joint resolution appointing di-
recrors for the Farmers Bank Of Delaware
brings tolight political fight over the rs-
latiOn of tho directors. Tho resolution
which passed the Senate early in the week
named eight Democrats for tho positions.
bus the Republicans of tho House deter
miTed that the complexion OF the direct
or, should be Republican, and therefore
killed the resolution and passed one nam
ing eight Republicans for the officers
Hence tho fight the only way cut Of which
is to commit the matter to Il joint commit
teo on conference, as tho old directors
cannot hold over.
Ths Senate this morning had Il lively
parliamentary argument over the recon-
sideration of iho King Marriage Bond
Bill which was declared to have passed the
Sena by avote OF 7 to s. 1t had been
discovered that before q bill becomes law
it must receive a majority of tho vote of
the members elected to each House and as
the bill in question received two loss than
the required majority, President Salmon
put n motion for reconsideration OF tine
voto by which the act was declared passed
ard that he bill 10 laid on the table. Tho
motion WAS carried, Mr.. Knox voting with
the Inn jority. believin that the bill would
be peramptorily killed. But according to
Cushing and Smiths sdiagrams Of pariia-
meutury law bill laid on the fable IA open
for nc ion at any time. Mr.. Knox is moi
yet cloar on the point ard to-day predicted
that hs would vigorously oppose the pas.
sago Of the act when the majority Nom.
bers OF the Senate call it up again.
Why there should ba any objection to
tho tiil is past finCing out. Beside Soma.
tor Knox and several mombers OF tho
Housr, the clerks Ia tho Office Of the
the only persons who have opposed The
passage of the acs and they have offered
no explanation Of their con ention other
than that the law will destroy marriage
records in the respective offices OF tho
Clerks OF the Peace Office records appear
to be of groater concern to these clerks
than the payment of so cent1 for a rove
ruo starip, which tho war-tax requires on
marriage bonds by persons Of go1d inten-
lions not to N ,ntion tho trouble they ara
compelled to subject friends to in becom-
ing their surety. Tho oonl il STRAW"

by repealed by tho passage Of the King act

mitted to the comnitoe on judiciary.
