Stan Correspondence Evening Journal.
Dover, Jan. 17.-Addicks is beaten
and Colonel Henry A. DUPONT has his
revenge for the deadlock Of four years
ago, which was set up by Addicks and
led to the defeat Of the colonel. Now
the shoe is on the other foot. Colonel
DUPONT and his supporters have Gre
.ated the deadlock, and It is the Ad-
dicks men who are doing the squeal-
ing. They may cry out from now until
eternity and it will not avail them.
Four years ago it was "Addicks OF
nobody" Now it is Nobody rather
than Addicks!"
The results Of last evening may be
briefly and intelligently set fourh az
follows:
The Democrats went into caucus
first. Senator Pyle refused to 90 in
saying that he would not vote for SEN
ator George Gray. When it came "a
the stage OF making the caucus bind
ing, Senator Lewis and Representatives
Jester and Clark walked out, not wish.
ing to be bound this early in the
fight without consulting their constit.
uents. The remaining seventeen Demo-
Gratis made the caucus binding, and
named Mr.. Gray as the caucus selec.
tion, but one ballot being taken, and
every vote being cast for him.
The Union Republicans caueussed
and named J. Edward Addicks.
No caucus or conference was held BY
the Regular Republicans. but to-day
they will vote for Colonel Henry A
DUPONT.
To-dGys vote should stand: Gray
II; Addicks, Is; DUPONT u; with tn,
four Democrats who refused to caucus
voting for Congressman Handy oi
some other advocate Of the Chicag,
platform.
Senator Shakespeare, Regular Re
publican; Representatives Pilhng anC
West, Regular Republicans, and Rep
.resenthtive Conaway, Union Repubh
can. were absent on account Of sick
ness. Could they be present to-day
the vote would stand: Gray, II; Ad
dicks, 16; DUPONT, 10. aSd four Demo
cratic votes scattering.
The air was full OF rumors all Of yes
terday, but there was no special ex
citement and but little unpleasantness
The only real surprises were on tn,
Democratic side.
This is substantially the story o.
the days dOings, robbed of all frillH
1t means a deadlock for an indefnit,
period unless Addicks consents to leav,
the field and permit Colonel DUPONT L
name the man, which he will scarcely
do.
The feeling in the Regular Republi
can camp is almost as strong agains
ex-senator Anthony Higgins as Ii Il
against Addicks, and one Of the mos
prominent members said to-day:
Il dDnt care who it is, so long al
Addieks and Higgins are beateni"
you may say that all this tall
about the Regular Republicans votinl
for George Gray or sny other Democra
is mere rot" said State Senator Knox
THE Regular Republicans will neve
vote for any Democrat, and no sucl
idea need be seriously entertained.
WORKERS ON. THE FTEID.
The crowd at Dover yesterday after
noon and last night was much smalle
than it was either two or four year
ago. This was largely due to the we'll
grounded belief that the Regular Re
publicans would refuse to go into eau
Gus, and that nothing definite would b
accomplished. Stil there was a fai
representation Of out-of-town politi
clans, Regular Republicans, Union Re
publcans and Democrats being pro
miseuously blended at ali Of the usua
