6OIn HOUSES.
Dover, Feb. 20 j Edward Addicks
very materially strengthened his lines In
the Senatorial fight to-day when Senator
Blakely and Representatives Frizzell and
Ewing supported him on TIE sixtieth and
sixty first joint ballots Of the session. The
action on the part Of the New Castle
county Assembiymen was not without
due reflection on their part, neither was 1t
to grind personal axes as may De said. On
the other hand it was after they had
awakened to the situation In all Its serious
phases, and after conclus ion only Mr.,
Addicks can be elected, Your correspond
ent made this announcement one month
ago, and followed it with reiteration
one day last week, but the statement was
rldiculed by the Regulars here. Partcu-
larly was the reported dssertion of Messrs
Blakely, Frizzell and Ewing donisd, but
1t has transpired and by this action the
friends OF Mr.. Addicks are more confident
than ever Of his election.
True, Mr.. Addicks cannot be elected by
eighteen votes but a total of twenty-ons
will DO secured before two weeks have
passed, then will come the stumbling
block. But it may not be AS great an OBJ.
staclc as many at this time believe With
but four votes to insure MI, Addicks' cleo
ton no Republican can afford to permit
Mr.. Gray's seat in Congress to remain un
flied, and constituents will so inform
their representatives in both Houses bo-
fore the session comes to 4 close.
The Regular leaders have about given
up hope Of securing the election of any
compromise man
I'll sir cam psign has lost much Of its
resigni1s themselves TO the inevitable. As
fer tho Union men, they are more hopeful
than ever and several have advanced tho
option that the Regulars will not con-
tinuu thCir fight against Mr.. Addicks un-
til the last day Of the session, but that
they will give him the four additional
votes at least one week boforu the adjourn
ment day. And with the gift will come
the ond of factionul fighting which has
kept the Republican party bitterly DIVIDED
for several years.
THE MCNEY FIGHT.
The opposition u tie confirmation Of
Bernard McF 5ys appointments as Il state
detective becomes more pronounced. Yes.

the prrt of the Drmoc ats of tha Senate to

action was duo to tho request Of Peter J.
Ford who arrived here this afternoon to
personally condua, his opposition to tho
appoin nent Tomorrow afternoon Mr.
Ford says he will prefer charges against
Mr.. McVoy, but at this tims the nature Of
the charges is unk nnwn, Mr.. McNey
knows of committing no sin against Mr..
Ford 9th I han opposing his canvass for
the gubernaDional nomination two years
ago. Any other disclosures by Mr.. Ford
will BIO news to him, but he is satisfied that
Mr.. Ford's opposition cannot lie because of
personal reasons and therefore prefers hat
