1t is now conceded that compromise
candidate will b. ecc cd in the near fu-
turc. Unofficial information has it that
the election will take place On Wednesday
of next week, aud that Ex- Con ngressman
Jonathan $. Willis will be the man agreed
on. To-day Hugh q. Browne leader of
the Regulars of New Castle County was
here, and TO. an hour discu ssed the situ-
alton with leaders of the Union faction,
and although no ultimatum that factional
troubles had been settled was issued. 1t
was to be seen that both sides were anxious
II a speedy settlement of the difficulty In
order that Republican harmony throu yh-
out the state may be re-cstab!i>hed. Tho
action OF the New Castle County Union
men ut Wilmington last Saturday night is
said to be the cause OF the anxiety on the
part of the Regulars for the party's future,
aud 1t will positively have the effect of
bringing both factions to their senses on
the a;orlal question.
MIR. Browne today declared that the
Regular Republican had no one candidate
whose elcc ion they would demand. On
tho other hand the faction presented n
field of capable man from whom to select
candidate. These remarks wero con-
strued as being slap at Mr.. Aliicks' po-
sltion, although it was not specifically
said that the gas man should not be in
cluded in tho field" How thu Union
men will view the proposition at this time
is impossible to say, but your corrospond-
ent has learned that Mr.. Addicks will be
accepted by the Regulars before the posi-
tion Is left vacant however obnoxious he
is to the Regulars at this time.
Next to th Senatorial topic today House
Chaplain Turner's public imputaton of
the personal honor of the supporters Of J.
Edward Addicks caused the most discus
sion, and If Mr.. Turner IL not taken to
task for his most recent utterances 1T will
bo because the Union men in the House
are satisfied to rest under the imputations.
