This article on Delaware politics
appears in the columns CT the Phila-
delrhia Public Ledger to-day:
Democratic and Republican pcliti-
cians have been carefully figuring the
votes in the last two elections, and as
a result they believe it is impossible
to see whore J. Edward Addicks can
hope to be elected United States sena-
tcc from Delaware. no matter what aid
he may be given, even should it be so
much as the Federal patronage. to help
him build up a stronger organization
than he has The Democrats are par
uculally well pleased with the outlook.
In the next legislature two years from
now, Add.cks will have less number
.of members to start with than he has
had.
In the last Legislature Addlcks had
in the Senate Messrs. Blakely, Groves,
McFariin, Alice. Abbott, Pennowill and
3lasure. When the next Senate meets
he will have OF this number only SEN
lators Groves and Brasure which gives
him a start OF two The Democrats
VIII have four t0 start with, Senators
McNulty, Clements. Harrington and
Wright, and the Regular Republicans
will have President Pro Ten. Ellison.
SENATE DISTRICTS.
How many Add.cks can elect is
Question, but comparison of the votes
lshows his chances. In Wilmington
lsanator viii be chosen TO succeed Knox
lfrOm the stronghold of the Regular Re
lpublicans. II tho Regulars do not elect
a man from there the Democrats will.
The Third district, where a SUCCESSOR
Twill ba chosen TO Senator Blakely. Is
close, the Republicans having carried
] t by 1877 vC.es, in the face of a fight
the Democrats had with the Single
Takers. IL Is strong Regular Repuh-
lican district, embracing Brandywine
and Chrlstiana hundreds, the latter the
home Of Colonel DUPONT Christiana
hundred contains the larger p0pula-
ton, and Is tine pivot hundred Of the
district; therefore, II the Regulars do
not carry II and elect an anu-Addicks
man, the Democrats can easily over
como the small margin, it is believed,
with the Republicans split
The Fifth q strict Senat-r McFa~lin
lcarriCd by only 90 votes, ia the facs
of Single Tax oppos tion TO the ID mo
Gratis. Mr.. McFarlin was elected on a
ljcint ticket Of the Regulars and Ad-
;, ,dicksites and IL each faction put
ticket in the field the district VIII be
Democratic, as It is such normally,
4 having been mapped out as a Demo
Cratic district by Dcmscratic Con-
Ishtriional Convention The Seventh
district IS surely Democratic, and a sue
icessor TO Senator Hart, Democrat, will
/ be chosen.
In the flrzt district CT Kent county
successor 10 Senator Slaughter, Demo-
lcrat, will be chosen. ard &C is consld-
crcd safe to say that Democrat will
! ba elected. In the Third district
successor to Senator Alioe chairman of
lthe Addicks State Committee. will be
named. This district is close. Senator
lAllaa having carried il in 1898 by only
,siXty-One votes. This is next to the
strongest Republican district in Kent
county, and with them fighting the
Addicksites again and the Single Tax
ers helping the Democrats it will be a
very close contest
In the Fifth district the Union Re-
publicans wen by 1876 votes, and they
can probably TO do so again, as there
are few Regular Republicans in that
section.
/ In Sussex county i'm 1898 the Regu-
AhA 10 anu AuulthSllCa WIIt NNIltU on
the legislative ticket. They carried the
First district by 49S vc.es and single
handed the Addicksites, IL is thought,
can win two years from now. The
Third and Fifth districts were carried
by Democrats by small votes in the face
Of united opposition With the Re
pubEcans divided and the Single Tax
crs with them the Democrats are
regarded as being sure Of carrying
these two districts.
This is the way the politicians fig
urc cut the State Senate fight, and il
Their figures prove to be correct il will
make the Senate composed OF nine
/ Democrats. three Regular Republicans
and i've Addicksites, provided the Reg
ulars win in their strcnghOlds II they
do not the Democrats will. and il will
leave the Senate composed of eleven
Democrats one Regular president Ell
lison) and five Addicksites.
THE LOWER HOUSE.
In the House Of Represen entatives from
New Castle there are FIVE Democrat
members sure, one each from the
Fourth Fifth. Tenth thirteenth and
Fifteenth districts. On a united ticket
the Regulars and Addicks men were
able to carry the FIRST district last No
vCmber by fCrty-Ons votes. the Ninth
by two. the Eleventh by four, the
Twelfth by ten and the Fourteenth by
twelve. If the Regulars maintain trsir
fight and put a separate ticket in the
fco,4.,,,5 On cfwth pa~oN
