O'Clock this afternoon without olectins n
United STATES Senator to succeed the Hon.
George Gray. 1t WAS Il memorable ending
of q no less memorials session, the rounu
OF politicians yelling with all the strength,
their lungs could command in jublaton
over Tho failure Of the Assembly to elect a
Senate. Rowdes waived their arms
franiiCnlly in unison with tho vociferous
yelling, and tho crowd filed out Of tho
building with grca or evidence of having
been gathered about II rng-sido instead of
in state Hous, whore conscientious
body Of Republicans had for three months
endoavurou to elect q Senator. 1t WAS a
most dsgracetul sceno and over which
will ever 1.-Two in the memories Of those
who witnessed it.
THE CLOSING MINUTES.
The closing minutes of the session were
tho most disgraceful 1t was 2 Is clock
when President Salmon announced that
the ono hundred and thirteenth ballot
would be taken, and before Senator Ab-
botts name could bc called Repre- seuta-
tive Roio renewed his fliibusterlng. Rep
resonat;ve Blakely shouted ''here, hero
that is only done to kill timu'
President Salmon answered Mr.. Blnke-
ly by declaring that the question was I'M
drbatablo.
'Wcil don't care to vote. you will not
count it anyway Senator Blakely cx-
claimed, when his naiue was called on
tho ayes and nays.
'Wo'il count 1t rs I)ng as am here"
retorted clerk Kenny angrily. At this
point S nate Clerk First took part In tho
fiibustesing by unnecessarily declaring
that "Mr. Short voted nay Tho hub
bub continued Intentionally until Repre-
sentative Rose moved that the speaker
clear the floor. This was at 90 o'clock,
and when Mr. Biake!y moved m amend
msnt that Rose 10 appointed to do tho
work, the amendment Was laughingly ac-
cepted by Rose, whu however was not del
egated to carry out tho effect of the mo-
tlon. 1t was only another move to kill
time and 1t was successful Roso held
the floor, and Notwithstanding Rspresen.
tativs jenkins and Senators Abbott and
Alice protestations against disorder, Pres
ident Salmon allowed the disorder to con-
tlnue until 8 o'clock whon he declared tho
joint session adjourned lIe later declared
the Senate ladjourred without day and
was followed bylspeaker Clark adjourning
tho house without day.
The action OF Senator Far.ow and II Rsp-
rescntatives King and Rose in descrting
the Democratic rauks for Mr. Add!cks
was Of course the surprise Of the day.
They had understood that Mr.. Addicks
was to be elected after he had received tho
support Of twenty-one men. Your CORES
pondent said three weeks ago that tho
Regulars had agreed to elect Mr. Adlick5
If he secured twenty-one votes, but why
they refused to support the caucus nomi-
nee aftor no had secured tho vot,s will not
be explained by them. Tho only explana-
tion the leaders would givo was that "this
man has got to be driven out Of Delaware
politics and the .best way Is always the
easiest"
Representative Clark in speaking of his
action said:
"This morning wc democrats went into
conference md ag esd to vote for Sauls.
bury and Biggs alternately. salisbury re
ceived the full 81 voles. On tho next bal
lot Mr.. Biggs received tho samo number.
Then only twelve kept their promises. and
tho others divdol between Gray and
Biggs. had never entertained a thought
of voting for Addiclss until saw That tho
democrats had lied to me, and proposed
to pay thsm back in thoir own coin.'
Senator Fayiow said: II vote for Ad-
dicks because believe that he democrat,
and regulars republican had agreed to elect
Dupont"
Mr.. King declined to max, any cxcu.o
other than say that II propose ID voto as !
please"
Tho action OF tho Shrss Democrats is
now tho all absorbing topic. While re-
grets arc generally expressed that th,s o
three men did not remain in line tho joy
OF having at las. defeated Mr.. Allicks
ovcrbalancrs tho sting caused by the ia
roads made upon tho Democratic forces.
In til" Regular Republican camp all Is
serene and happy. Hugh G. Browne, ex-
pre- ses himself M delighted at the manner
in which tho Rcgula: Republicans re-
mained truo to C'l. DUPONT. He states
that the Regular Republican organzatiun
proposes to fight for Republican prirci
pies until success shall crcwn its efforts
The Union leaders, though ma turally
disappointed at being SO near the goal aud
yet unable to reach it, say that time nor
Gsfcn, can alter tho plan of Mr., Addicks
and his followers. They, too, announc,
that thoy will DO in tho n1ht again next
year, and feel assured that they may DO
able to say in the noxt election 'All things
come to him that waits"
Democrats beliovo and assert that two
years from now Delaware will not only
elsct senator To lil this vaclucy, bat
Will 500 that both Seats in the Urit d
States Senate are oocup iod by Democrats.
