The most important thing before the
next Legislature will be to substitute a
pencil for the stamp in designating the
ballot intended by the voter. 1t will
be recollected that Governor Tunnel
recommended this in his annual mes
sage, and the Legislature passed such
a bill, and were surprised to learn after
the adjournment of that body that he
had vetoed it, thus annuling what he
had recommended. Tunnel proved
proved the truth of the old adage, that
"a politician is not stronger than his
party" The leaders of the party
the Saulsburys, Kenneys, Hawkins,
&c. saw in this a possible loss of the
chance to claim and throw out defec-
tive ballots, as the recount of the
judges show was almost universally
the case in the contests.

The Great Standard Oil Trust,

tanks largely at Bayoune, N. J. is in

ned to earn this much money for the

vanced the price of oil and other Stan

this ambition. His plans miscarried
however, on account of the great con-
fagration. The Standard Oil Com
pany carried no fire insurance and COW
cred its losses out of its profits. John

Der Is a check for SO, 100, 900 in round
numbers. That is his share of the div
idend awarded to the stockholders.
He owns individually S31, 900, 900 of
the otock of the Standard Oil Com
pany. Since January last, John ID.
Rockefellar has drawn Standard Oil
dividends aggregating Sl4,S7O,OOO
This, however, is only small portion
of the amount to which Mr.. ROckefel-
lar has been entitled by reason of the

The Company owns only 81 per cent

pan1es. Mr.. Rockefeller owns much
stock in these subsidiary companies.
The Standard Oil Company, of New

Mr.. ADDICKS ON THE SITUATION.
What He Has to Say About Himself and the
Political Affairs Of the State.

The Daily Republican of Monday,
had the following account of an inter
view the day before:
Mr.. j. Edward Addicks was on Sun.
day afternoon, found walking up and
down the walk in front of his hand
some residence at Claymont bare
headed in conversation with another
gentleman. After introducing gen.
tleman in company with the writer to
Mr.. Addicks, who greeted him cor
daily, the writer asked him what he
thought were his chances to be elected
United States Senator.
You say in your paper that l will be
elected Senator. l am the choice of
over two-thirds of the members of the
Legislature. will take the short term
having four more years to run and will
take my seat as soon as elected i'll
January.
Who do 1 want as my colleague?
Well, have no particular choice, re-
piled Mr.. Addicks. Mr.. Higgins would
be good man, but my wife prefers
Mr.. William Hilles. On being asked
if he intended to get out of the fight
after being elected United Sta les Sena-
tor, Mr. Addicks replied, not for one
minute, he intended to make Delaware
so solid Republican that the Demo-
cratic party will not again be resur-
rected.
Why, Senator Kenney told me con-
tinued Mr.. Addicks, that the Demo
Gratis would never again make a fight
in Delaware. They were disheartened
and had run out of money as well. By
accepting the short term in the Senate
Mr.. Addicks would be factor again
four years from now, and would put
that much more vim in the campaign.
He is never as happy as when he is
having a battle on his hands. He likes
the excitement of a campaign and does
not know what defeat means. He is as
tough as a pine knot and enjoys re-
uaI hdoly SOOu Hedltu' ho h0lUh0i

awake at nights. He does his think
ing in the morning and executes his
plans later on in the day. What would

He is a born fighter and intends tina

More Ice Plants for Delaware.

The business of manufacturing
artificial ice is rapidly growing in
lower Delaware. For a time the
Dover plant was the only large ice
concern on the peninsula. Now new
ones have begun operation at many
points and and large concern for sup
plying the cold storage fruit cars at
Clayton is being planned. ''The
Crystal Ice Company" which will have
daily capacity of fifteen tons, and be
capable of refrigerating 80, 900 cubic feet
of space for storing ice and other pro-
duct, has begun the erection of plant
at Salisbury to rival the Salisbury Ice
Manufacturing Company.

now that the heat of a spirited cam

bers of the church for a campaign

began Monday night with a series OF
cottage prayer-meetings in various

The vote in Delaware like that in the
other States Except in the Southern
belt has beeu to put the Republicans
in power. Every county in this State
would have been fully Republican in
the county offices had it not been for
the Regular or Dupont Republicans
who insisted on a seperate ticket and
divided the party, though the Union
Republicans voted for their men in
New Castle County. By this means
the Democrats retained the county Of
fees in Sussex, the Regulars polling
over 100 votes, but the Republicans
succeeded in carrying, besides the
State ticket, the counties of both New
Castle and Kent and a majority of both
Houses of the Legislature.
The Sentinel, in the following note,
explains the possible damage to a
party by a divided vote:
Second Representative District, John
l.. Scotch, Democrat, received 379
votes aud Hervey Dexter Learned,
Union Republican, received 373, thus
giving Mr. Scotch the bare majority OF
votes. Bradford Murphey, the Reg
ular Republican nominee, received 26
votes and it was known that that would
o. .aut his strength. With the COM
,ote Of both the Republican fac
tions it would have elected Mr.. Learned
by a majority of 90. This district was
known to be close, though with the
combined vote of the Republicans
it should have sent a Republican
Representative to the next Legisla
ture, and it is a pity that the Reg
ulars should have thus sacrificed
1t to the Democrats. Mr.. Learned the
defeated candidate, is a good man and
would have given good account of him
self in the General Assembly, and it i
a matter of sincere regret that he shoul
have been thus stabbed by those VIII
might be called his friends. A day q
reckoning is not far off.

Democrats Give UC the LEGISLATURE.


Democrats have abandoned all hope
of controlling the next General Assem-
on account of the turn which the con-
tests brought in various placxs have
taken, All have resulted in favor of
the Republicans and even should the
Democrats gain all three which were
pending Monday afternoon they would
only have been able to make tie on a
joint ballot and as the contests pro-
ceeded it was plainly seen that the
Democrats would probably lose all
of them.
If it was not for the appearance
the Democrats would probably
abandon all the contests which
they have brought and give up the
fight. They have nothing to hope for
and are spending their time in spec
ulating on what the Republicans will
do iu the next Legislature. 1t is gen
orally admitted by them that the two
Republican United States senators will
be elected and the Democrats will not
be able to work any schemes to pre-
vent it. They would readily work any
which they could find, but cannot find
any which will now fit according to
the statement of leading Democrats.
