DESERT ADDICKS.
Republicans Combine and Vote for
Compromise Candidate.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Wilmington, Del. March 15.-The nine regular
Republicans and the seven Union Republicans
who have left Addicks to-day combined and
voted for Harry A. Richardson the millionaire
of Dover, for Senator. This placed Mr. Richard
in the lead, and for the first time in ten
years Mr.. Addicks had a lower vote than any
other Republican candidate. The combination
was the outcome of a conference held here last
night at which Richardson was decided upon
a compromise candidate in an effort TO win
votes from the Addicks strength. If there are
no indications by Friday of a break in the
ranks of the Addicks stalwarts another candi-+
date will be taken up.
1t is not believed. however, that this will
break the deadlock. There is every indication
that the legislature will end on March % with
a Senatorial vacancy. The House to-day after
exciting fight, passed local option bill for
Kent County. Similar bills for Newcastle and
Sussex Counties are pending.
