Most Important Executive Session Of
the Year, and Extraordinary
Precautions Are Taken

Special Dispatch to Evening Journal
Dover Jan. 17.-Despite the secrecy
that surrounded the executive session Of
the state senate yesterday, it has leaked
out that DIR. Caleb II. Layton, Governor
Hunn's nominee for secretary of state
was confirmed, and that confirmation was
refused in the cases Of Judge Cochran,
of the municipal court of Wilmington, a
Democrat, and four Democratic Justices
of the peace, two in Kent and two in sus-
sex county.
Twelve Of Governor Tunnell's seven
teen appointments We're confirmed.
A combination of Regular Republicans
and Union Republicans turned the trick
for Layton and ended the judicial career
of Judge Cochran.
1t is stated on good authority that Gov
ernor Hum will appoint Philip Q.
Churchman, chairman of the Regular Re
publican State Committee, judge of the
municipal court to succeed Cochran. The
term is twelve years.
Judge Cochran will carry the fight 10

In fact the motion made 10y Senator
McNulty was just what the Republicans
and Union Republicans wanted. for il
gave them q chance 20 let nominees live
or kill them off. just as they desired, and
they knew they had the votes To do il.
Tho Democratic senators knew it, too.
and their faces were long and serious.
They had hoped for a deal with the Regu-
lars which would enable them 10 confirm
Cochran and Kin off Layton, or a deal
with the Unions which would land both
men.
BASY FOR VANDEGRlFT.
The first resolution offered from the
Democratic side was for the conhrma-
ton of Abram Nandegrift, justice of the
peace for New Castle county. The Re
puhlicans and Union Republicans had
nothing against Mr.. Nandcgrift lie had
been guilty of no high crimes and misdc-
mcanors in politics. and there was q gem
eral disposition To- let him through the
Republican bars.
Clerk Cain took the resolution and read
t. and a motion and a second for its
adoption were made.
Senators said President Cannon, ''it
has been moved and seconded that the

said the president.
Clerk Cain stood up at the end Of his
desk with his little roll book resting on
its top. and as he called off the names Of
the senator's, he recorded their votes as
follows:

Dover, Jan. III Edward Addlcks,
the senatorial aspirant. left Dover on
the 1896 north-bound express yester-
day afternoon.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Ad-
dicks and their daughter. Miss Marga-
ret. who came down for the inaugural
reception and ball.
Before leaving he said he would not
return to Dover this Winter and that
he would leave his campaign to the
management Of his State chairman,
Senator ]. Frank Alice.
q am perfectly satisfied with the
situation" he said my interests are
in the hands Of my friends. believe
break will come in my favor to-mor-
row."
When asked from what source it
would come. he declined TO commit
himself. even when It was suggested.
that the breakers" would be members
already known to be favorable to him.
but now occupying the middle ground.
The presence Of Addicls in Dover
has not had a wholesome effect. The
very sight Of him makes the Regular
Republicans grit their teeth and sends
their minds back to the past days Of
political bitterness.
In fact. il is stated that when Mr..
Addicks and his secretary, Charles II.
Kittinger were down for the organiza-
ton. Governor-elect HUM told them
bluntly, on the sidewalk near the Capt.
tol Hotel, that their presence in Dover
was not wise. and that it would be
better for them to remain away, for
they were in the nature Of red rags to
the Regulars. That was current gos-
sip and ono man said positively that
he overheard the conversation.
Another prominent man 10 whom
Addicks talked yesterday reports that
the gasman takes anything but a rosy
view of the situation
Not Regular Republican member
Of either house signed the Addicks
agreement for a DuPont-Addlcks sena-
torial deal. although all of them were
importuned to do so yesterday.
1t bears the signatures Of the six
teen Addicks or nobody men, aud that
IS all.
RUMORS OF DOODLE FUND.
A startling story gained currency
here yesterday. It was that before two
weeks a Doodle fund Of 100000 would
be on deposit in Dover.
The first heard Of it was from Demo-
cratic sources. but it soon was COM
mon report and the subject of much
discussion.
No confirmation of the story was OBJ
talnable.
