Dover, Feb. l.--Despite the Regular
Republicans onslaught upon the Ad-
dicks ranks, the balloting for United
States Senator Is becoming exceedingly
monotonous. Thus far the Union Re-
publicans have withstood the attacks;
and, at present, there lie not the
slightest Indication that the assaults
Regulars weakening Mr.. Addicks' sup
port, which they are attempting to do, 1t
is possible that their own forces will be
diminished. The most gratifying feature
of the balloting yesterday was the
accession Of Representative O'Day, a
Silver Democrat to Hon. George Gray's
list OF supporters.
DIRECTORS OF THE FARMERS BANK.
The Senate joint resolution appoint-
ing State directors OF the Farmers Bank
Is being held up. in the House. The
resolution, which was prepared by
members of the Senate without con
suIting members of the House, names
eight Democrats and four, Republicans
as directors. The House, it is said,
will amend the resolution, diminishing
the Democratic and increasing the Re-
publican representation, and the Senate,
doubtless, will non-eoncur in the
amendment. This, 1t Is expected, will
be followed by conference, at which
u the tangle will probably be unraveled.
