or remodel one that they have occu-

few crooked sticks added to the

the insurgents, that the regulars accept
Colonel Theodoree Townsend. Of Milford,
for secretary Of the Senate, prevented
the completion Of the organization Of
that body this morning.
Alice also made an effort TO get the
Democrats to combine with the insur-
gents in the election Of Colonel Town
send as Senate secretary, but this also
fsiled, the Democrats deciding in con-
ference TO support their original slate
for offices.
The Senate took two ballots for sec
retsry, reading clerk and bill clerk but
without result. They did manage to
get together on chaplain, electing tho
Rev Edwin Gardner. of Dover, who was
nominated by Senator Wharton, Demo-
crat Senator Frazier nominated the

publicans and Democrats for Mr.. Gard

one OF the insurgents, held confer

ference was started this morning. This
led to a report that Colonel Town
send would be dropped for Sudler.
There was evidently a serious hitch
over the other Senate Offices at the
conference. It was understood that
