The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1899-01-27
lie Proves a Senatorial
Entry and Obtains 3
Votes.
ADDICKS men CONFIDENT,
Although They Do Not Ex-
|, pect to Land Their
Candidate q Winner
For Several
Weeks.


Senator Blakely and Representative Friz-
zell and on tho sixteenth and seventeenth
ballots by Messrs Blake,y, FrizZcll and
West The votes rendered tho doc;or
while only complimentary, detracted from
th strength of Col. Henry A. DUPONT,
Who consequently came out of the days
light with but eleven supporters, posi-
two Indication that the Regulars are
awakening to the gravity of the situation
and are cropping in the dark, as it were. for
can vote can be given
: Tho baloting is becoming monotonous.
The members of tho joint assembly and
spectators are fast learning tho tally sheet
by heart. Everybody keeps II tally during
tho ballotng, and those possessed OF ordi-
narily good memories are already nbc to
tell Who each member, excepting Nlessrs.
Bmkely ard MoFarlir, will vote for in ad-
vance Of the calling of his name. In other
words, the place forty mine senator's and
representatives in tho present sena' oral
alignment ia so firmly fixed that the
change 81 single vote causes an immedi-
alto sensation. In \ sense, the ballotiug
whilc monotonous to tho last degree, is
growing less tedious, because all concerned
are becoming more and more familiar
with tho process.
To-aay's result put damper on prcphc-
sios as to when the end will come. Union
men are of tho opinion that the Regulars
will prolong the balloting by extending
oomL liments to Mossrs Higgins Hillcs,
Conrad and half dozen other prominent
Republicans of tho State who at sumo
time i'll their livss were desirious of mate
rial honors. The Adlicks men still pro-
fsss confidence that their candidate will
finally be elected, Lut they do not set the
day amy more. The anti-Addlcks men, on
the other hand, profess rs great con fldence
that the cas- man is hopelessly beaten, but
they do not pretend to prodict the name Of
the successful candidate or fix the date Of
LIS selection. In short tho deadlock is
deadlock of the most pronounced charuc-
ter, and all parties arc simply resting on
their oars for the turn OF tho obstinate
tide.
This days rouin proceedings in bob
Houses like those Of yesterday, were duh
Eua undressing with but very few ex.
eeptions. The only new matter Of jntere 4
was tho act given notice Of by Mr. Shall
cross, providing for an amendment, to tina
cha TER of the Wilmington City Railway
4 Irb ht,
cars on city streets or over bridges con-
troiled by the city without paying tax
On each and every car. The law is mt.
termed after the Philadelphia and New
1ork's statutes which fix the tax at $50 on
each car.
