WILMINGTON. Del. March &-The
breaking OF the long Senate election
deadlock Is not source OF uumixcd
satisfaction here. While the ending Of
the struggle is OF itself cause for con-
graduation. the treaty whereby The
election was made possible is viewed
with uncasiness. To the minds OF many

The regulars have become so accus-
toned 10 sharp moves on the part OF the
Union Republicans hat they cannot be
convinced there SIS not some sort OF q
gentleman or color concealed in the

will, there will be the same old struggle
over again.
There is revival in some circles OF
the recent talk that Alice will resign
IN the near future. and that Governor
Hum will appoint Addicks to the va

pledges 10 oppose the ambitions or The I
