The Delaware Senatorial Muddle. :


prominent in the regular republican faction
Of Delaware, was at the Whitas House to-
day. II believe that two. senators will be
elected from Delaware before the close Of
the session." said DR.. Ball.. IT see that q
resolution has been introduced fixing March
II as the date for adjournme ment." Dr. Ball
does not believe that either Of the senators
will be from the Addicks faction, and, while
talking little, it is said to be his belief that
the regular republicans and the democrats
will succeed in getting together and Ia
electing one senator from each side. The
trouble about this before this and now, 1t Is
stated on good authority. is that the regu-
lar republicans, or, at least, an influential
number of them, are almost as much op-
posed to the election of either Kenney or
Salisbury as they are to Addfcks. Some OF
the regulars will never vote for either of
these men, and the democrats stick as close
by Kenney and Salisbury as the union re-
publicans do by Addicks. The regular re-
publicans who hold this view declare that
SALISBURY and Kenney represent almost as
much that is objectionable in Delaware poll
tics as Addlcks, and that as bosses they are
almost as powerful as rthe@gas magma te.
Whenever there is the possibility of the
election of a senator the democrats rush to
Salisbury and Kenney. AT other times they
distribute complimentary votes to different
democratic leaders.
1t is said on good authority to be abso-
take up other men and show disposition
not to force Salisbury and Kenney upon the
regular republicans that an agreement
would be reached.
