Eleven Regulars Make the

Young Lawyer.
WHO WILL COME NEXT.
Both Houses Experience
the Busiest Day Since
the Session Began.

Dover, Feb. 23-The eleven Regular Re-.
publicans Of this General Assembly are
indeed Eighty lot To-day they Topped
back to William S. Hilles, the popular
Wilmington lawyer as their favcrite for
the Ssnatorship. but the unexpected &C
tion only caused smile to disturb the u.s.
ua,ly placid counteuances Of the Union
men who have concluded that every prom.
,nent Republica Of the state will be thrust
uncsremoniously into the fight before hos
tilities cease. Thus far representatives
from every county have been honored by
the Regulars but not q man has proven
capable to the minds Of the majority Re-
publicans, Of representing this little Com
monwealth in the halls Of Congress for six
years to come. The inference is clear. 1t
Is that no one but j. E Addioks Is deserv-
ing of thu highest honor within the gift Of
the people Of the state and that no one but
him shall be the recipient of that honor.
William H. Heald was here to-day, but
solely for the purpose Of assisting the
House committee on private corporations
in matters appsrtaining to the Farmers
Bank. The revivifcation Of Mr.. Hilles
senatorial boom proved this beyond doubt
but his support cannot be stable. The
Regulars have aiist Of prominent men who
must be honored therefore the iatroduc-
ton of the many more new faces into the
fight need not be surprising.
The silver Democrats are likewise prov
ing themselves willy set. Today there
came II break in their lines much to the
surprise Of the members of both Houses.
Chancellor Nicholson drew ore vote from
John d. Hawkins strength but Mr.. Mich
olson resurroctsd boom is Of as little sig
nfcance as those preceding 1t. To-mor-
row Judge Marvii may DO compliment
ed by the silver men and so the tapping
will be continued until the farce is ended
by an election. .....
