REPUBLICAN CLUB AT INAUGURATION
For the First Time This Organization Will
Parade-Those Who Are Going.

The Republican Club will send large and repre-
sentative delegation to the Inauguration of Prcsi
dent Roosevelt It has never before taken part in
similar affair. nor has ii ever marched in any
parade. Its appearance at the inauguration is due
to the fact that President Roosevelt has been a
member OF the Republican Club for over twenty
years. Up to this time 254 members OF the club
have signhed their intention of going to Washing
ton with the delegation. among them being non
resident members from many States one from as
far west as Wyoming. To the club has been as
signed the right of line in the civic division OF the
parade. and it will be escorted by the ConklIng
Unconditional Club uniformed organization from
Utica. The club has chartered special train con-
ssting of parlor and dining cars over the Pennsy-
vania Railroad, which will leave this city for
Washington on Friday. March 3. at 1910 p. m. and
will return on Sunday, March g. at 4:So p. m. Not
withstandng the unprecedented demands for hotel
accommodations for the Inauguration the club has
secured a number of rooms in leading hotels in
Washington The nonresident members OF the
club living in Washington have constituted them
selves auxiliary committee for the clubs enter
tainment while there.
The character of the men who have sgnlhed their
intention OF Joining the clubs delegation makes it
certain that its appearance at the inauguration will
be one OF the noteworthy incidents of that oc-
casion. Among those who have placed their names
upon the list of the delegation are Ex-Governor

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1auSE.1

Wilmington, Del. Jan. 23.-Although the State
Senate has not succeeded in organizing, the
deadlock over the election OF a president pro
tempore having continued since January g. IL is
probable that both Houses will begin voting for

Gratis are pursuing the even tenor OF their wa y

cans.
Tomorrow will be the second Tuesday after

basis that it is contemplated TO begin voting for
Senator. the first days ballots being taken IN
each House and the joint session starting on
Wednesday. The precedent for this step is the
seating of Senator Dubois from Idaho in 1891
he having been elected under similar conditions
State Senator Conner went to Washington
this evening TO hold a conference with Senator
j. Frank Alice and ]. Edward Addicks on the
subject, and at this meeting the attitude of the
Union Republicans Will doubtless be decided on
II the Democratic legislators find that the Re-
publican factions will take up the Senatorship
they Will hold a caucus and will probably nom
mate State Chairman Willard Salisbury, of
this city. The Union Republicans will also hold
a caucus and formally select Mr.. Addicks. The
Regular Republicans will not go through this
formality. but will pass the word around among
themselves to vote for Colonel Dupont Then
will begin the renewed Senatorship fight with
q deadlock in the State Senate TO help compli-
cate the already bemuddled situation.
