STAFF Correspondence Evening Journal.
Dover, Feb. 2O.-Addicks gained four
votes yesterday Before many days
elapse he will obtain two, and posi-
bly, three votes, and then he will
have reached his. extreme limit
Senators McFarlin and Grows, and
Representatives Baynard and Dayett
were the middle-of-t -therroad Regulars
who went to him en- the ballot for the
short term yesterday. The break was
expected on Monday, but it failed tc
materializs at that time.
In anticipation of the action OF th'
four men, the Addicks managers haS
twenty or thirty men posted in ths
lobby who appaluded when Senator
Groves led the break, and who also gave
each of the othsrs a round Of applause
when he allied himself with Addicks
It was known at II O'Clock that tbs
four men were going to desert thu
Regulars, and everybody who was Oh
the inside was looking for it.
The first to go was Senator Groves
He didn't look comfortable, for he ha(
represntd himeslf to Regular Re
repreaanted himself to be a Regula.
Republican and an anu-Addicks maj
TO the people of his district, and h
knew that he would have TO face an in
dignant constituency when he wen
home.
Then came Senator McFarlin- HI
voted for Addieks with the usual smile
on his face, but he looked a little il
at ease.
Representative Baynard wore
white face WHEN he voted for Addicks
and his voice had strained and un
natural sound. He felt the gravity o
his situation, and said afterwards tina
he expected he'd catch it, when h
got home.
There was nothing unusual in tn
voice or manner of Representativ
Dayett, that staunch friend and sup
porter Of Former United States Sena
tor Anthony Higgins, when he wen
over. He only has one manner whel
voting, and even Addicks could no
change 1t, although he did get his vote
But If the men who went over ne
ceived applause, the men who remain
ed true to their principles receive
their full share too, and the signifi
cant feature was that when Senate
Knox voted for Dr. Hiram r. Burton
Representative Chandler, whom tn
Addicks men have BEEN claiming, le
the applause for him, and when hi
name was called, Mr.. Chandler rippe
out "Dr Hiram r. Burton!" with a
emphasis which made many Of the Ad
dicksites start.
There was nothing unusual TN th
ballot for the long term. IL went alOn
the same as usual, and the uninitiate
looked for nothing startling in tn
ballot for the short term.
After Representative Dayett ha
voted Senator Groves turned TO Ser
atOr Knox and said:
That's the last"
And it was.
I'VE have all along conceded AC
dicks twenty-three votes" said RepN
sentative Chandler. "and that is all
will get He can't be elected unleS
some Of the Democrats help him"
THE Democrats are as solid as
rock, and he can't get one of them
vote for him or stay away for h
benefit" said Senator Slaughter shor
" afterwards "All the Regulars nee
do is to stand firm. He will receive L
Democratic help"
Nothing could induce me to vote fC
him" said President Pro Tenn. Ell
son.
"Tl tell you now-Addicks will new
get my vote" said Representative Pill
ing.
IF every other member Of the Le
islature votes for him l newer shall
said Representative Clark.
Senator Knox would rather die
his seat than vote for him
Representative Hodgson declar
last night that he never would vo
for Addiclks.
There is no member OF the Hou
more bitterly opposed to Addicks thi
Representative Finn. He and Repr
