here to-day nominated the following

The action of the convention to-day
in nominating an entire ticket still
further complexities the Republican
situation in THE State lof Delaware, and
little comfort is left to the RepubM-
cans, who are torn asunder. The
Democratic organization, however, is.
jubilant at the dissension existing pc
tween the TWO Republican factions, as.
it is a foregone conclusion that there
will be no harmonizing.
Higgins in Control
In addition to the split which has
existed between the Addicks followers
and the Dupont element it cropped
out to-day that ex-United States Sen
ator Anthony Higgins has brought
about discord in the ranks of the Reg

not been considered a strong factor
by either faction, but in This both ad-
mtt that they made a mistake, as The
ex-senator to-day practically had AL
tight hold ON majority of the dele
gates in the convention. lit is openly
asserted uhat in obtaining this grip on /
the Dupont forces he fas been assisted |
by some of the Addicks people. who
voted for Higgins delegates at the
primaries on Saturday in order that
Colonel Dupont should be unhorsed.
Judging from the demons tratton
which took place when he entered the
Opera House to-day tihe ex-senator
has strong following. Colonel Du-
points greeting was in marked CON
trast to that which was accorded Mr..
Higgins. When the Coloners name
was called in the roll OF delegates it
was greeted with mingled misses and
applause. Kid -ystgr /
