Special to the Evening Journal.
Dover, Feb. 27.-Amid scenes of un-l
paralleled confusion, the cause of J.
Edward Addicks, millionaire candidate
for the United States Senate, received a
terrible blow this evening when the
Regular Republicans, eight in number.
complied with the first stcondition leading
up to the election of United States Sem
atOrs by fusion with the Democrats, by
bringing about a reconsideration Of the
vote Of Tuesday and passing the Ad-
dicks Notens' Assistant repeater through
the House of Representatives Ii will
be quickly passed in the Senate, where
i ten senators are already favoring it,
though only nine are necessary. Pow
erful pressure will then be brought
upon the Governor to sign the rcpealer
and abandon voters assistants in this
State.
The next step toward coalition is to
dismiss the contest of Captain George
p. Magee for the seat of Senator JEFF
ferson, Democrat, on the ground that
the courts have already passed upon it.
The last will be easy of fullfllment-
the agreement to leave the short term
senatorship open.
General James II. Wilson is talked
, Of tonight as the Regular upon whom
the fusion will center, Immediately
upon the accomplishment Of the aban-
donment of Magee's contest and the
4 = passage by the Senate Of the repeater.
