Point.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Addicks was
supported only by tho mon who named
him In caucus last NIGHT
There were several conferences between
the warning factions during the morning :
and although the ballot taken shows no {
union of the party, 1t Is said however.
that within few days q candidate MAY b,
agreed upon.
Tho Republicans arc determined that
Senator Gray shall not succeed himself
while the Democrats are equally confident
that he will. This cannot DO done, how
ever, unless the Regulars join with them.
From Regular headquarters there comes
denial Of any coalition with the Demo.
crafts, therefore Mr.. Gray's chances ara
lost. Union men have never been accused
of aiding the Democrats to re-elect Mr..
Gray.
Tho action Of Senators Blakely and Me-
Farlin in voting for William s. Hilles
was surprise. Senator Blakely was
counted upon by the DUPONT followe
until last evening, and although he is nou
opposed to Mr. DuPont's election, be will
support Mr.. Hilles or Mr., Higgins bofo Q
bis vote goes to tho powder maker mil
lionairs Senator McFarlin some time
ago declared he would support the CAUCUS
nominee. but changed his mind at the
last minute to the surprise of ths Addicks
men.
Anthony Higgins was hero during ii
morning and gave his support to Col D.
Point II no falls election Mr.. Higgins
name will be put in nomination.
Jonathan s. Willis is considered tho
dark horse candidate who may finally
win out.
Two Regulars remarked this afternoon
that in the event of no Senator being
chosen in the near future they will
vote for anyone. They preferred Jonathan
S. Willis.
Col. Benjamin Nields and Jonathan S.

Addcks and Fred E. Bach were absent. n
THE FIRST VETO.
Governor Tunnel this morning re-
turned to the House the joint resolution
appointing Messrs Polk, Hayes and
attorneys for both houses 1t
was the first veto Of the session and the
Governors reason was that tho three at
tornoys were unnecessary.
Tho resolution will not die. however. 1t
requires two third vote to pass 1t over
the Governors veto and the Democrats of
the Senate will join With the Republican,
Of the House in making up the required
vote and thereby adopting the resolution.
Legislators contend that inasmuch as
tho State has lost much by not having d
act. tho attorney should DO
appointed to draft such other Instruments
as may be presented.
Tomorrow both houses will meet in
oint session. compare journals and vote
'or Senator again.
