DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE HELPED
Had Regulars Not United With Union
Men They Would Have Got
Assistance

"The Democrats did their duty to
their party, State and county" said
prominent Democrat last evening
combination OF any kind that would
result in his election. This was thor
oughly understood when the agreement
to join in the organization today was
made.
II was reported from several sources
that Governor HUM was claiming the
credit for the combine. He denied
this in his office in the State House last
evening. Il do not claim the credit,
while our members and State Cen
trail Committee did not make any den-
mite statement of what we would do II
the Regulars held out and refused to
deal with the Union men, we made 1t
plainly understood that If they did not
unite that we would see that the Regu-
lar officers were elected"
How Il Was Done
1t was 10 o'clock last evening when
the Regular members, who had been in
conference in the State House, walked
from the cloak room and announced
that they had decided to accept the
proposition OF the Union Republicans
to join with them in organizing both
branches Of the Legislature. 1t was
that the Regulars join with them in or
ganizing the body. The proposition
provided that the Regulars should take
half of the offices and have first choice.
The Regulars took the Senate and ad-
journed to the Hotel Richardson,
where they went into caucus to select
their share of the offices. The Union
members went into caucus in the State
House. 1t was nearly IL o'clock when
the members were called together.
Much Speculation
The day was one Of great speculation
and doubt on the part of those on the
outside. There were all sorts Of ru-
mors ailoat. Ten men caused it all.
AS the Regular delegation from New
l Castle county did not arrive in Dover
until early in the evening, the wait
ing throng was kept in doubt as to
what the Regulars were going to do
When they did arrive they did not en-.
tighten the curious ones. It was said
that they had not mapped out plan.

on the point OF leaving for the South,
but when she learned of the officers
critical condition she announced her
intention of prolonging her visit. Sew

apparent great suspense created the

was worse to come. CHANGING at the
