ment OF j. Edward Addicks that so
far as he is concerned the election OF
the Republican ticket is now IN the
hands Of the friends of the President,
does not seem to make any variance
in the political situation. Although
some construed the statement 10
meau that Mr.. AddIcks haI retired
from the fight. and he apparently
made no effort here to contradict Such
an interpretations, it is announced
that in reality he will be in the
fight. Thus another rumor go,s b.
the board.
There was luIl this morning in
the storm which has kept local poIIti-
cal conditions in furor for several
days. Not ono of the leaders OF tile
warning Republican factions hal any
information to give out concerning
the election of next week They, of
course, expected victory for each fac
, tipn, but not oae Of Them would give
an official statement bearing on the
outcome OF the campaign.
William Michael Byrnc and Walter
II. Hayes, who are reported to have
attended conference of Union lead.
ers in Philadelphia Yesterday, at
which it is said j. Edward Addicks
declared his intention to continue Il
factor in Delaware politics. would say
nothing this morning relative 10 tine
conference In fact neither would
admit that he had ATTENDED sucl
conference.
Meanwhile the campaign goes Oh
towards It's close, with the Democrats
hopeful that Republican dssenslon
will continue aud will allow them to
get into power.
The Regular Republicans figure
out that the Union Republicans will
lose both Kent and Sussex Counties,
end will make no serious inroads in
New Castle County.
The close hundreds in this county
are Red Lion, St. Georges and White
Clay Creek, and it is hard to Tell how
they will go. Ia this city, Lle Eesu'
lars hope to elect George W. Spark
Senator In the First district, though
James w. Robertson will put up u
stiff fight. In the Second Representa-
tive district close fight is expected
between Charles A. Rudolph and
James p. Jones,
One guess as to the result in the
Legislature is that it will be Demo-
cratic or Republican by one or two
votes. In any event the chances are
that the Regulars will hold the BAL
ance Of power.

DR.. William i. Hoey. chairman of
the Democratic Committee OF Kent
County, last night issued a state
ment declaring that the Add'clts
"ay.down" story is bluff. DR.. lloey
