nelawarels Extra Session

From The Albany IN. " Argus.
The petition which is in circulation
in Delaware, asking the governor to
call an extra session of the Legisla-
ture, has no direct connection with the
senatorial vacancies in that State. The
petition Is based upon the desire of
some Wilmington business men that
the government Of that city should be
remOdelled in several important par
ticulars. Those who are circulating the
petition deny that they are seeking or
expecting to have the senatorial ques-
lion settled through an extra session.
However. should an extra session be
called, it is asserted that the Legis-
lature would be obliged to resume bal
loting for United States senators, re-
gardless of the main purpose of the
session.
Governor HUM is an adherent of
Addicks, and it seems likely that he
will not call an extra session for any
purpose unless he believes that the in
terests of Addicks viii thereby be pro-
NOTED. Addicks himself has tacitly ad-
mitted that he cannot break the dead
lock and be elected unless the presi-
dent will aid him with the Federal
patronage The Regular Republicans
declare that they will not yield regard
less of the questions of
the Federal patronage. The
Wilmington (Del) Evening Journal
says that Major Carson, the Washing
ton correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, is perfectly right in his conclu-
sion that an extra session of the Della
ware Legislature would not result
in the election of two Republican
United States senators. The seven Reg
ular Republican members who refused
to vote for Addicks during the regular
session are as firm to-day in their posi-
ton as they were ON the day of tinal
adjournment They stand ready ano
willing to elect two Republican sena-
tors. but insist that Addicks shall re-
tire" Il remains to be seen whether
President Mckinley will give aid and
comfort to Addicks in his impudent
attempt to hold up the State Of Della
ware. and to buy and bully his way
into the Senate.
Evening journal., 1901-05-16

of that Legislature who would die
rather than infiict upon the State and
themselves and their constituents the
disgrace of the election of Addicks."
The proposition for the session has
called the opponents of Addicks to
arms again. 1t is denounced by the
Democrats and the Regular Republi-
cans. and even those who most earnest
ly desire q new charter for Wilmington
insist that IL could not be secured at an
extra session, whose real purpose
would be the election of Addicks
Many Of the Democratic members de-
clare that they will refuse to attend
and the Regular Republicans say they
will follow the same course.
Altogether, the opposition TO Addicks
is still so manifest that it is doubtful il
the extra session be called, even if Will
mington has to wait for a new charter.
