ADDICKS MAN CHOSEN.
DeLatcare Deadlock Broken bg ELec-
ton of Speaker of House.
[sr TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1nUNEl

Dover, Jan 13.-The deadlock which has ex-
listed in the Delaware Legislature since January
was partially broken late this afternoon by
the organization of the House Of Representa-
tives. William D. Denny CUnion Rep. AddicIs)
was elected SPEAKER. the Regular (anti-Addicks)
Republicans voting solidly with the Unions. The
organization really brought about by three
conferences during the morning and afternoon,
when propositions and counter propositions were
made by the Regulars to the Unions and vice
versa the main plea in each proposition being
That Of effecting organization and thus put
ting an end TO the disgraceful plight in which
they have been placed before the public and
their constituents in causing a deadlock.
1t was not until the conference held at 8
O'CLOCK that any positive agreement had been
reached. and Cven then the Union Republican
members OF the Senate refused to recede from
their former proposition. that of organizing the
Senate. The Union and Regular Republican mem
bers OF the House then took the initiative by
agreeing to organize the House on the PROPOSE
ton of dividing the spoils half and half con-
ceding 10 the Union Republicans the right to
name the Speaker the Regulars alternating in
the other Offices.
Without further delay, the Republican meni-
bers Of the House began balloting for permanent
