The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1899-02-06
THE BREAKING
is COMING.
Developments Point to the
Election of a Senator
in the Near Future.

| publicans on tho thirty fifth and thirty.
sixth joint ballots taken here to-day VIZ.
in line with your correspondents predic-
tiors several days ago. Col. DUPONT is
| no lorger senatorial possibility and
those assemblymen who have beon fight
ing SO assiluously for him since the i!rs!
ballot was taken, have SO concluded and
are looking for man on whom forces can
| be concentrated and an election thereby
! secured.
1t had beea said that Dr.. Chandler was
| not an aspirant for senatorial bonors and
that Senator Blakely and Representative
Frizzell were not sincere in their efforts IN
the Centreville PHYSICIANS behaks But
all is bosh. Assembleym BAee!y and
Frizznll arc OF the oT1uIon Chat Or.
ChandIer's chances for erection arc as gcod
as those Of any other Regular Republican
and they therefore propose to stand by
him until such time as they are aAtisded
all hope is gone Bat the assembly yne n
cannot be satisfied within . few days.
They arc determined tIiao Dr. C6aidfsr
shall receive the unanimous suppnrs cf
the Regular faction and uutle tn COOS shsy
will not confer with the Rcgnl1rs on mat
tiers pertaining to the situation.
This was evident this n1ternoon when
Senators Blakely and Representative
Frizzel and Ewing refused to meet Hugh
c. Browne and other Regulars of both
Houses at the Richardson. 1t had been
agreed during the morning that DR.. Chan.
dler was to receive the DUPONT strength,
but when Senators Knox and Shakespeare
appeared at tho joint assembly they re-
fused to flop to DR.. Chandler, and as
consequence there Is boiling blood in the
veins Of Mcssrs Blakely, Frizzell, and
Ewing who declare they are tirod of being
buli-1ozed by a few men. These remarks
are Of great Significance. 80 much so that
at the conference 1t was announced thai
Mr. Addicks' strength would be increased
to seventeen votes before the week has
passed. Senator Blakoly and hapresen.
tative Frizzell, will undoubtedly be the
first of the Regulars to take up Mr.. Adj
dicks standard and in turn will be fol-
lowed by Senator McFarlin who has!stated
that he will vote for Mr.. Addicki at tho
proper time.
All these developments point to the
smashing of the deadlock on Wednesday
or Thursday as predicted~by your cores
pondent several days ago.
twas said this afternoon that tho Regu-
lars had pledged their support to Col. Du-
Pont and ex-senator Anthony Higgins,
but your correspondent was informed by
Republican who attended tho CONFER
ence that no such pledge has been made.
Moreover absolutely no pledge was made
but it was decided to elect Senator ut any
cost.
The name of Jonathan s. Willis figured
prominently in the discussion and 1t was
intimated that during the coming
week the Union mon would be
asked to support the x-Consressmsn, but
1t is believed such a proposition Will be
scorned by the Union men who are more
determined than ever that Mr.. Addlcks
have the honor.
Tho statement from representative Dom
oboe TINT Senator Gray will bo re-eloctod
Is laushable. Under no circumstance can
tho Senator develop moro than his usual
Democratic strength and as that strength
represents but twenty -one votes he lacks
five votes of reelection. Democrats have
figured that Regular Republicans will ho-
nor the Senator with the votes necessary
to elect, but such calculation Is even
moro ludcrous than Mr. Donohoe's story.
