LOOKING FOR BURNS.
A funny feature Il the dIt-of-town
representation was a delegation OF
about forty members Of the Eighth
Ward Republican League, Of Whining.
ton. The mission Of these men was to
see Representative Burns and compel
him to go into caucus. 1t failed, be-
cause they could not find the states
man. The members Of the league wore
paper badges bearing the following:
Eighth Ward Republican League
We Want A. Republican U. S. Senator
Elected"
The period after A represented an
differentiation of the gas mans name,
and originally the badge did not con.
tain the word Republican" but It wae
afterwards put in in darker ink.
Another badge declared that no pow
der was wanted in the United States
Senate, and stiA another advised the
legislators to vote for 'Inkey."
These patriots left on the 4.2l train,
with Councilman Morris at their head.
They reached Dover between and Z
O'clock and secured the State House
and town looking for Representative
Burns. Among those carrying league
search warrants were: james p. Jones,

REGULARS STOOD FIRM.
Not a solitary man who had beer
set down as a Regular Republican al
tended the Addlcks caucus. During thu
day the Addicks men claimed tha'
they would have Senators Blalely anC
NlcFarlin and Representatives Ewini
and Frizzel, but no men in the Regu'
lar Republican ranks stood out more
firmly against going into caucus, anC
their friends in New Castle county may
rest assured that they win not vote
for Addicks under any consideration
Another rumOr was that Addiclx'
had secured the promise of two Demo
cratic cmembersand that two prominent
Democratic politicians Of New Castle
county were down here working OF
the Democratic members in the Ad'
dicks interest. This is more stuff. Any
Democrat who dared to vote for Ad'
dicks would bet set down as bOodlel
forthwith, and things would be made
lso unpleasant for him that he
would be only to glad to resign and
go home.
Regular Republicans made NJ
claims further than that they woul'
hold their men in line against Ad
dicks and Addicksism, and how wei
Chairman Browne and his lieutenant
carried out the program is apparen
by the decision Of all the member
who are in sympathy with them to ig
more the Addicks caucus cali and re
main away from the place of caucus
They did not even hold a caucus; thl
members were not corraled anywhere
They had made up their minds, th'
Regular Republican managers knew
that there was not a doubtful man il
the DUPONT dozen, and Chairman
Browne and his colleagues sat at cas-
at the Hotel Richardson and iaughel
heartily at the discontinue Of tn
Addicksites.
THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Early in the day a call was issuei
for a Democratic caucus to be he'd ii
the Senate chambers at o'clock il
the evening. Shortly after that tim
all the Democrats but Representativ
Day were present. Before he left 70
home he instructed Representative Nc
Nulty TO make for him the etatemen
that he would abide by any caucus aC
ton taken. Before the caucus me
Senator Pyle. whose sympathies ar
= more with the Democratic League q
Delaware than with Senator Gray, o.
account Of the Chicago platform, pick
ed up his hat and coat and Wake
out saying that ne would not vot
for Senator Gray. This action on hi
part was not a surprise. Then tn
