The Delawarean., 1901-01-23
ALL SIDES
SEEM FIRM.
Regulars Drifting Further and
Further From Addicks.
DEMOCRATS ON one LINE.
Newspapers say Strong Things Con-
cerning the Triangular f ght.
Opposition to the Union Leader
Growing More Determined
as the Days Pass.

The triangular deadlock over Della
wares two United States Senators now
bids fair to leave two Senatorial vacan-
cies in Washington. Mr.. Addicks' men
claim that they are sent here to elect
him or vote for him to finish forsak-
ing all others and cleaving unto him
on both long and short-term PROPOSE
tions.
lOn the other hand, the anti-Addicks
Republicans and the Democrats are be-
ing stiffened in their opposition to him
by an unwavering press and public.
To-day the Legislators are reading
interviews with more of Delaware's
foremost business men, and men who
employ thousands of working pepole.
E. Tatnall Warmer, president of the
Charles Warner Company, says:
For my part | cannot imagine how
any self-respec,ing man could accept
a Senatorship with Mr. Addicks 1t
would necessarily imply that he ac-
cepted it by the grace of, and with the
consent of Mr.. Addicks, and with this
admission he would be subordinate to-
Mr. Addicks and becme his vassal. No
man, nor any party of mem can SO
stutify themselves as to make any deal
with Mr.. Addicks." There are other
opinions from Charles w. Pusey, presi-
dent of the Pusey & Jones Company,
and David Lindsey, of the Jessup &
Moore Paper Company.
The vote to-day stood practically
unchanged
Howard d. Ross, the young Will
mingtonian who is contesting the seat
of Senator Francis j. McNulty, may
yet be seated in the State Senate for
term of four years The Senate yes
terday passed resolution guarantee
ing the witness fees and travelling ex-
penses necessary Ito hear both sides.
The hearing will begin on Thursday
House, with Senator Knox, chairman
of the committee ON elections, in the
chair. Ross contention will be that
206 electors were deprived of the privi-
lege of voting by the forcible closing
Of the polls in the South Wilmington
district, dS5 of whom were Republi-
cans. The most important outcome of
the contest is that it may affect the
complexion of the next State Senate.
The district is probably Democratic
and for this reason the Regular Repub-
licans may take the risk of Mr. Ross
supporting Mr.. Addicks and vote to
seat him.
Democrats Manly Stand.
The assertion from Mr.. Addicks that
he is going to get some Democratic
vo es and that he can scarcely now
keep them from voting for him, has
aroused the ire of Democratic AS
semblymen, and they have agreed one
with the other never to consider a
proposition that brings them ON the
floor of the House ito vote for Addicks
Just how Mr. Addicks can count on his
election by maens of Democratic aid
is rather mythical, as he would have to
get eleven Democrats to arise in thei1
seats and support him, the arch-enemy
of Democracy in delaware, even if he
could hold his sixteen faithful sup
porters on such deal. The Regular
Republicans think this only a speech
to scare them into voting for the mil
lionaire politician. Seven Regulars
have made statements to the effect
that, under mo consideration, could
they be induced to vote for MIR. Ad-
dicks. These are said Ito he Senators
Knox and Ellison, and Representatives
Clark, Flinn, PilEng, Hodgson and
Chandler. This will leave the Union
Republican leader sonly % votes, ol
twenty three should he get the aid OF
Farlow (Ind. Democrat) or twenty
four should he get Candidate Ross
seated in the Senate. 1t will talk
twenty-seWen votes ito elect at this
session, and it appears that the only
way Mr.. Addicks can solve the prob
lem is to induce the seven Regulars
to change their minds.
