BATTLING
AGAINST FATE.
Union Men Declare This Is
The Status of the Reg
uIarS' Position.

S; Dover, Feb, IS This day brings to q
close the sixth week Of the senatorial fight
and indications continue to point to the
last cay Of the session US the time for the
election of John Edward Addioks,
This weeks intro luction Of Harry A.
Richardson into the contest was but an
other move OH the part of tho Regulars to
draw from Mr.. Addic.s' strength, but it
was an Intellectual move as will be all
others on the part of the Regulars to elect
anyone other than Mr.. Addicks.
Mr.. Richardson is a Republican who is
without sain from Regular standpoint,
but he /, Objectionable in degree to tina
- Union men and therefore cannot be elect
cd under any circumstance. This same
objection applies to all other compromise
candidates and the fact /, gradually yet
persstentiv dawning on the minds of
everyone hero with possibly the exception
of three leaders and as many members Of
the joint assembly who somehow think
that on the coslIg days Of the Session
Mr.. Addicks will loom into insiguilcanco
nnd Anthony Higgins prove the winner.
But such termination Of tho fight can
not possibly come out OF the situation as
it exists today and in order that there may
be no disappointment from this source 1t
might be we'll to finally state that Mr.. Adj
dicks will be elected or there will be two
years vacancy in the United States
Senate. But the Union men do not be-
lieve the Regulars will permit another
vacancy to cxlst and they are resting on
their oars until Senator Blakely, and Rep.
resen'a ives Frzzell and Ewing turn in
for Mr.. Addicks which will probably be
this week wlien one bold stroke for sevon
more votes will be made and Mi. Addicks'
election recorded as matter of history.
