the election Of Two United States SEN
ators. He said to your correspondent
that he had conversation with Sen
ator Mark Hanna in Washington.
That Mr.. Hanna was very anxious
that two Republican United States
Senators should be elected from Della

Addicks can elect any two men he
may name for Senators and thus
place himself in position that no
other Delawarean occupies with the
administration at Washington.

a gentleman and good officer.
