Addioks.
These few words tell the tale Of the
biggest piece OF political treachery
ever recorded in the history of the
State Of Delaware. Columns might

Senator Farlow, who, until yester-

popular members of the State Senate,
is to-day a by-w0rd and a reproach
from one end OF the state to the other,
and his shame is the talk of the At
lantic sea.board, for all eyes have been
turned on Delaware to see how Addicks
made cut in his struggle for a seat in
the United States Senate.
Representative King. the bachelor
member" OF the House. who has been
the recipient of offers of marriage from
all parts Of the country in consequence

party which hoDored him, an object OF
public scorn, and the same may be said
of Representative J. B. Clark.
Farlow and King reside at Laurel

both have sustained. The third mem

Mrs Abbott, wife of Senator Abbot
