SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE DEN
NEY SUPPORTED HENRY c..
CONRAD ON BOTH OF THE
FUTILE BALLOTS


DUPONT column. AS the vote progressed
the Union Republican leaders were on the
qui vive for fear that Representatives.
Bennum, Messick and Townsend would
also leave their ranks. When this trio did
not change, there was q feeling of reltet
on the part Of the Addicks stalwarts.
What tomorrow will bring forth, however
is another matter.
Representative Townsend has troubles
Of his own. Two delegations Of his con-
stituents from Sussex county were present
today; one side urging him to remain
with Addicks and the other TO join the
ranks of the dissenters. He did not indi-
cate what course he would take, but fu-
ture developments will show.
AddieLs in the MLority.
In the line of the expected break to-
morrow to T. Coleman DUPONT, when viii
give him the eighteen votes, the nine Reg
ulars will Join the movement for the pur-
pose of showing a spirit of liberality For
the first time since 1895 and when the
Republicans were in control of the Leg
islature it will be seen that now J. Ed
ward Addicks has only a minority of the
Republican votes in the General ASSEM-
bly,. This fact shows TO what extent the
break among his followers has spread.
Senator Alice was in Dover today but
he did not go to the State House. lie did
not make any statement on the changed
conditions.
