1lDover, JAMIE. Edward Addicks con.
tinues TO be In control OF the Republican
senatorial situation. The three joint bal
slcts. comprising she firth, sixth and sew
isath u the session, which wero taken to.
day clearly demons rated this, and wore n
criterion Of what Is to come. The Union
mon are united on Mr. Addicks. No 9TH
or man, not oven Horny A. Richardson Is
20 be considered The story that tlfs Do
yer banker was to divide the Addlcks vote
was pronounced here this morning to be
false In every particular, without SEM
blnnco Of fact to warrant Its publicity.
Senator Alice said this afternoon ''does
our action Indicate that wa will support
any one other than Mr.. Addicks?"
~ Representative Davis, leader of the Cn-
Son men In the House. also emphatically
declared that the U aiou men would not
divide their strength.
XII. On all three ballots the Republicans vo-
ted as they did the dav before
The situation is becoming interesting,
4 and the Democrats are looking on with
!, coMpluceRcy. To-day the silvormen sip
ported John A. Nicholson for. tho first
timc but his-support will not be stable.
THE silver men have made many friends
\ for whom thsy will cast complimentary
votes, therefore if the names OF many
orc proiniuent men Of tho silver ring are
voted for in the lear future there need DO
no surprise. Tho silver and gold Demo-
orats a:o hopelessy divided anu it can be
said with positive certainty tina. George
Gray will not succeed himself, notwith-
standing statements to tho contrary.
The Legislature will be In session to-
morrow for the first Saturday In years.
The law provides that ballet for United
States Senator shall DO taken every day,
Sunday excepted until an election Is Sc
cured, and Pursuant to tho provisions of
thB law both Houses will meet.
1t lis probable that nothing beside the
bnlloting will BIZ done, however, and tho
lawmakers will return to their homes in
The early afternoon.
> Neither house has yet experienced a
rush of business. This days proceedings
took business like turn for n time, then
became quite amusing. This was due to
. resolution presented in he House by Mr..
,Donohoe providing that Representative
King tho fine looking representative from
Sussex, take unto himself wife within
0odays Or stand for an oyster supper to tho
members of the House. Mr.. King is 45
years of age and enjoys single blessed
ness to such degree that he declares he
will not abide by the law Mr.. Donohoo
sssks to have adopted but on the other
hand will furnish supper Or what not to
remain as he is. The outcome of the stu
alton will be awaited with interest.
The election of an enrolling clerk for the
House developed into quito fight be-
- tween tho Republicans in whose hands the
balance Of power rested.
1t appea ed to be the wish Of the party
that Kent County man should DO given
chs position consequently three Republic
cans and one Democrat from this section
lined up for the plum which which fell in
thu lap OF Mr.. Watson OF Dover after twe
ballots had been taken, and on u vote that
was lacking blu. two Of tho party strength
