xeday gained a vote in the Senatorial fight
Captain Shaw Of Sussex county announc-
Ing him rs his choics for tn, position on
'tonth and eleventh ballots taken at noon.
This was tho only change in tho Republic
nan situation, 1t hal been said during tho
morning that Col. DUPONT would receive
the support Of Senator Elakely Of Chris-
siAna Hundred. but Mr.. Blnl-ly failed to
Furnish tho days most Interesting devsl-
opment, voting again for Francis q. Du-
: cs;;is whom he has supported siacs the
first ballot. r-.
Regular Republicans have begun tsoon-
slider seriously tho position of Mr. D9Eort
In the fight. They argue thai with the
twelve votes no controls today, together
with those Of Mr.. Blakely, Mr. McFarlin
aud Mr.. Plling, two OF which the Colonel
will undoubtedly control for ieason'that
they will compel tho Upion men to recog-
sn.ss their candidate as the CAUCUS nominee
but the Union mon 60 one, or perhaps two
better, In the figuring, tho result OF which
is likely TO be reslizsl wit min awesk. Thoy
declare that when Representative Cono"ay
appears their forces will be materially
siren gthened and that his presence will
have the OBJECT Of inducing Senator Mcfar'
lin to turn In for MIR. Addicks, instead OF
TO tho powder maker millionaire, as the
Regulars have planned.
This action will bring the pa
face with tho ssriousne'~ -, ,,., s,.n.,,o,
