STAN Correspondence Evening Journal.
Dover, Jan. 23.-"Yes, was a can
dldate for Congress on the Republican
ticket in 1890. and, but for ]. Edward
AddiclSs, should have been elected"
declared the Hon. Henry p Cannon. Of
Bridgevllle, Sussex county brother
Of Bieutenant-G Governor Cannon, and
one Of the largest and most influential
HAsiness men in lower Delaware. to
your correspondent in the Capitol IIo-
tel reading room yesterday afternoon.
why do you say that?' inquired
your correspondent
He contributed $500 to the Demo-
Gratis in Kent county and defeated
Harry A. Richardson. the Republican
candidate for governor and elected
Robert J. Reynolds. In Sussex county
he gave the Democrats $4,000 and de-
feated me for Congress and elected
John w. Causey, my Democratic op-
ponent" IA .f4ii
50 said Mr. Cannon, and he express
cd perfect willingness to stand re-
sponsible fer his grave charges against
the Union Republican candidate for
United States senator.
II am much pleased with the pres
ent outlook" continued Mr.. Cannon.
ut looks to me impossible for Ad-
dicks to be elected. | think the Regu-
lar Republican members are pursuing
the proper course in standing out
against him. Addlcks is not a Repub-
lican, neither is he At man to repre-
sent the Republican party or the people
inthe United States Senate. The Reg
ular Republicans in Sussex county are
in perfect accord with the policy now
being pursued Of standing out against
the pretensions OF Addicks In 1890
he gave $500 to the Democrats in
Kent and $4,000 in Sussex, and that
$4,000 ir Sussex was used for John w.
Causeys benefit, and elected him and
defeated me-"
SAYS ADDICKS is BEATEN.
Henry b Thompson and Thomas ].
Talley. two OF the prominent Whining
ton business men and Regular Repub-
leans. who are engaged in the pres
slt vigorous tight against AddiciSs and
his senatorial pretensions, spent yes
terday in the State House conferrlng
with the Regular Republican members
and taking a comprehensive view Of
the situation.
Before they left town last evening
they expressed the positive belief that
AddiclSs is beaten, and that the most
that he can do Is to hold enough OF
his men to prevent the election Of two
Republican senators.
DIR. BURTON ON THE GROUND.
A conspicuous figure on the field Of
battle yesterday afternoon was DR..
Hiram r. Burton, Of Lewes, a conserya-
tive Union Republican. who has sena-
torial aspirations. His presence gave
rise to rumor that some Of the Union
Republican members who are satisfied
that Mr. Addicks cannot be elected,
are DESTROYS that Dr. Burton should
come into the fight to enable the Union
Republicans to get something out Of IT,
Certain Sussex county members were
named who would be glad 10 break
away from Addlcks and vote FOR Dr.
Burton.
This rumor perhaps was due to the
general dependency OF the Addlcks
people. and IL Is not believed that any
OF the gasman's followers are ready to
desert him so early in the game
1t is understood that proposed legisla-
ton increasing the State taxes on rail-
road properties Is what really brought
him here. he being director ol tbs
Queen Anne railroad.
