STAFF Correspondent Evening Journal.
Dover, Feb. 10.-"Well. it's up to
Willard, remarked a Democratic men,
Der yesterday a few minutes after the
caucus adjourned.
whats up to Willard?" asked his
friend. The member glanced around
and then explained that some PROPOSE
tion. would have been made to the
Regular Republicans that would have
been acceptable to them had it not
been for the influence of Mr.. Sauls-
bury.
From a careful review of the situa-
tiOn it appears that the Democratic
member quoted put the case in a nut
shell.
OF course the salisbury men are not
disposed to give credit or blame for the
tie-up to their leader. and declare that
the members are governed by their own
ideas, but it is a significant fact that
all the Salisbury men are opposed to
anything that doesn't give the Demo-
Gratis a senator. and, of course. such a
solution is no longer regarded by any
tody as possible.
There are Democrats also who are
convinced that Mr. Kenney, too, is op-
posed TO any tender on the part of the
Democrats which contemplates the
election Of a Regular Republican, un-
less the Democrats shall profit by4t by
getting a senator. They say that his
suggestion for the election Of one Reg
ular, leaving the other place vacant,
was due to a desire to placate the
Democrats who are urging it. but that
he has not exerted his influence to have
the plan carried into effect.
Majority for One Regular.
Democrats gathered in Dover from
various parts of the State are not re-
luctant to express their views. and
from their reports it seems that a ma
icrlty of the voters of the party in
Kent and Sussex urge as a solution
the selection of one Regular Republic
can. leaving the other place vacant or,
if necessary. two Regulars.
The newspaper stories TO the effect
that many Kent Democrats are indig-
nant at this suggestion appear to be un-
true. In both Kent and Sussex there
are many small leaders who have
worked with the Addicks men; these
are loud in their protestations.
AS an example, there was present in
Dover yesterday a local leader of Cedar
Creek. who gave every evidence at the
late election of having sold out. He
was loud in proclaiming his Democ-
racy. urging that no Democrat should
vote for a. Republican. OF course. there
are honest men who cannot see the
wisdom of helping the Regulars. bul
they represent a small minority.
Laughed at League.
The down State members were dis
Guessing the attitude of the Democratic
League. of Wilmington, yesterday, bu
when the character and political con
duct of the members of that organiza
ticn were made known, the matter end
ed in a laugh. 1t was explained tha
y the League, before the last campaign
took occasion to denOunce Judge Gray
and that the members are either Single
Takers or Addicks men under a TIM
disguise.
There is no doubt that should vot
be taken among the Democrats. three
fourths would favor plan to hnalll
eliminate Addicks and they wouldn'
care particularly how it was done.
Standing Of Members.
