Dover. Del. March 2-Amid wild scenes Of
disorder and TO an accompaniment Of cheers
Erosns and hisses two United States Senators
were elected here to-day, and neither OF them
was J. Edward Addicks. One. however, the one
who got the chief prize. the long term, was the
gas mans white haired boy" Senator ]. Frank
Alice chairman of the Union Republican State
Committee. The other was Representative L.
Heisler Ball. Regular Republican. and this was
q sore blow TO Addicks, only his own position OF
spectator at an election which benefited MIN
none but might mean the final burial OF MS
homes. could be harder to bear, for, after going
through one of the hardest fights he has nao
IN defeat Dr. Ball for reelection to Congress-
he had to see his bitter enemy sent to place
of yet greater honor, and that by the votes VI
Addicks's own followers
But though the gas man must stand To-Day

self could call his election an "honorD go 10

Saturday in which his own men told MIN IIld'
he must step aside. that they could no longer

4hourb he must give way before the imminent
5on-er of 2 combination that would bury MIN
ton thousand fathoms Deep as he had only
recently threatened to bury his enemies stll'
after it was all over, he came smlllns 10 Ihe
front with the declaration that ne was sun HI
the fight and the first to congratulate
Alice. Even as he shook Aiee's hand ne mao
his nisns IN mind for the continuation OF the

THE HOPE OF THE OPPOSITION
DR. Ball. however is both strong man in this
State and willy politician. and the Regulars
look TO him to build up their machine so that
they will be stronger than ever to cope with the
Unions when the time comes for the next strug-
gle with Addicks. They expect, also. help from
the Administration and from the National party,
as it VAS in response TO pleas from them that
fbe long deadlock was broken to-day. There
was . strong probability of a. combination be-
tween the Regular Republicans and the Demo
crafts I'm spite OF Layton's statement yesterday
that Eve Regulars had agreed to the Union prop
csition. especially as Mr.. salisbury, the Demo-
cratic state chairman. had advised his followers
10 agree to the election Of two Regulars and 1t
was Mr. SsuIsbury's followers who prevented
such 4 combination on Friday, when Colonel
Dick. secretary Of the Republican National Conn
1nittee. came here to-day and persuaded the
Regulars to accept the Addicks plan.
Colonel Dick established his headquarters in
the Hotel Richardson and received delegations
from each Of the Republican factions. with
whom he pleaded. 1.-The Regulars should ac-
cept the proposition of the Unions he said.
This is the best thing TO do and is what tho
National Committee wants. / am doing al
can tn bring about this result In the mean
lime both factions were holding eaucuses
Representatives Tyre and Price. who were
elected Regulars, but deserted them two
weeks ago. were at a loss what to do. They
were refused admittance to the Regular caucus
and were seen wandering disconsolately around
the Capitol square arm in for hour or
Two before they decided to knock at the door
