DOVER. Del. March i0.-The demo-
cras and regular republicans, who have
been such important factors In the tri-
angular senatorial fight, had an under
standing this evening which amounted 10
an agreement TO disagree. but to leave
Delaware with only one senator at wash
ington for two years.
What do you regulars propose to dor

port Senator Gray. or give him five votes
more In recognition OF his services 10 the
nation az this critical time. we VIII sup
port him 20 a man"
This was declined by the regulars but
they agreed. IL the democrats wanted
TO weed out Addicks to give them one
more opportunity by taking up Colonel
Dupont again. for whom some OF the
democratic assemblymen had expressed
a desire to vote. The democrats said no
to this, and the result is that they are.
voting for whOmsoever they please. while
the regulars have again brought Colonel
Dupont into the fight. The democrats
therefore will not take up Senator Gray
again as a unit, because they realize
