RATHER ADDICKs THAN. NO ONE.
Action of Two Regular Republicans Thought
to Indicate that They VIII
Vote for Him.
rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.1

Dover Del Jan 12-The attitude OF two mem
bers of the Delaware House of Representatives TO-
day when the contested election cases came up
has given rise to the belief that. although classed
as Regular Republicans, and opposed TO Addicks
for United States Senator. they Will. before con-
senting to vacancy for two years more, vote Tor
Addicks The two members are Tyre and Price
The contested election cases Of one Union Repuo-
lican and one Democrat were brought before the
House and after the notices of contest had been
read the Democrats and Regulars with the ex-
ception of Messrs. Tyre and Price, voted TO defer
consideration of them. This action on the part OF
these two members is taken TO mean that they
will support Addicks rather than see vacancy
The Union Republicans are not discussing the
serate fight. but are quietly working for such
schemes as they think will be agreeable to the Reg
MARS The latest plan. and which has created
no little surprise and anxiety among the Regulars
is 10 elect Governor HUM for the two year term
and ex-senator Anthony Higgins for the four year
term If this done Governor HUM would re-
Jinouish his claim two years hence, and Senator
Higgins would throw his support 10 Addicks. in
surfing him the made vacant by the expiration
of Governor Hunn's term.
IT is not believed that this plan will be carried
out though as IL is hardly possible that the Reg
Ilars would consent to such deal The coalI
tiOu of the Regulars and Democrats In the election
of Judge George Gray and Congressman Ball is
more likely than the deal with HUM and Higgins.
