10 our correspondence from Dover
vii, be found latter tonching
upon two interesting political points,
namely: The worriment of the Union
Republicans OF Delaware over tho
probability that President RooseseIt
will be found not in sympathy with
them and their leader and owner, MIR.
}. Edward Addicks; and an intimatlon
that it IS among the possibilities TINT
Mr.. Addicks may shake the dust of
Delaware from his feet and mako an
attempt to secure entrance to tho
United States Senate by way OF the
embryo State of Arizona.
As to the first. there IL ample reason
for apprehension on the part OF the
Addicks Republicans. President Roose-
Welt hates fraud, hates corruption and
hates treaohery, aud AddicKs Repnbli-
canism is all three rolled into one.
There Is slight probability, therefore,
that even on the score OF political OK
pediency the President will feel dis
posed to hold his nose in order to give
| hOoO6hipioh " bhO tptNph Ahhnp "a
Addicks Republication in Delaware.
And SO, whatever appointments he may
make IN this State are likely TO be
made with direct reference to the re-
pudiation of Addicka Republicanism,
not it's recognition.
| The other point is merely interesting.
whether there Is anything in it, or not.
Arizona is not yet State, but il
" 'ones to be, and the Territory may
be elevated to the dignity OF Statehood
at tho coming session OF Congress. Their
Arizona would be called upon to fur
nish two full-hedged United States
Senators, who would be equal, il
dignity and status, to the Senators
from New York or any other State.
1t is said that Mr.. Addicks has
mining interests In Arizona of oharac
ter sufficient to at least open this door
of citizenship to him, and he may fine
welcome there in the event that b,
realizes what 10 patent to everybody
else-that he never can be elected t,
the Senate from Delaware Atany rate
he would find virgin soil to work upon
!, for the Territory at present is Demo
cratic, and the Republicans would NJ
doubt welcome wealthy and free
spending Republican whose purse an,
presence promised to lead them out o
!, the wilderness into the promised land
At the election in Arizona held u
,, November, 1900, the Democratic candi
date for Delegate TO Congress wa
elected by plurality of 1000, the full
: vote being as follows: Democratic
s,66t; Republican, 1854; Prohibition
292; total, 1880. The Legislature the
elected stands as follows: Council,
Democrats aud Republicans; House
IS Democrats and Republicans; join
ballot, 16 Democrats and 10 Republi
cans.
Now the composition OF this Legis
lature is not such as to offer encourage
ment to a Republican aspirant to sens
: torial honors, but the prospects are
no means discouraging when it come
to the election OF State Legislature
= after Arizona shall be clothed wit
q Statehood, as the first State LegiI
@ lature would elect the Senators. l
It the first place, there ale less tina
y IT, 900 voters to be reokoned with; th
Democratic majority at the last electio
2 was only. beegarly 1000. What d
