DOVER. Del.. Feb. 5. The sudden announcement that J. Edward Ad dicks had withdrawn from the candi dacy to United States Senator which he has iffged so persistently since 185,f created tin immense sensation. The belief Is general that the refusal o? the United States Senate to eon firm United States , District Attorney William j M. Byrne had the effect of The union Republican choice for Sen ator In th place of Addicks will prob ably be Governor Hunn or Secretary of State! Stanley, State Senator. Allee, AdUitka'j leader, having repeatedly : dec lared that he would not accept the United States Senatorehip. ' Addkks arrived here from Wilming ton at 1 o'clock,' going td the capltoL He was ushered Into the parlors of the State House, where all of the twenty one Republican members of the Legis lature j were assembled to meet him, together with Secretary of State Stan ley and Insurance Commissioner Mar-, re i f c& i i i-. -r ,. dicks with cheers, and he appeared deeply moved by the heartiness of the .greeting.! Immediately after "Addicks arrived. tJovernor Hunn; who ia.ca.lled the peacemaker in Delaware politics, entered the parlor. ! After the doors had' closed those outside heard frequently the bursts of applause; and the rumor became gen eral about the capitol ..tha Addicks was about to withdraw from the most remarkable political contest In , the history of . this country, : a contest which has deadlocked three sessions of the Legislature and split the : Republican,- party into , factions. This rumor ;'was confirmed soon ' after 2 o'clock, when the caucus adjourned. " In his letter of withdrawal, Addicks says: "The withdraynt of my candi dacy is conditioned upon the holding of a Republican caucus to be participated in by Fall the Republican members In the general assembly and the selection of two- candidates for the Senateof the United States by the majority rule in said caucus. ' - The caucus requested by the Union Republicans 'did not take place tonight. The majority of the members of the Legislature left for their homes with out Informing the Addicks adherents as to whether they would participate -In the caucus tomorrow. A number of the regular leaders met in Wilmington to night anil much opposition to the pro posed coalition was expressed. The claim was made that Addicks with drawal an a candidate for United States Senator was the purtse of electing two of his supporter?.--' It is understood that the regulars or a number of them will refuse toenter the caucus because of these circumstances. - J Legal Blanks, Statesman Offlce. ; 11 WHY IS IT For! as to scl I reliable merchandise - at lower prices than the "regnlnr stores?'

Twas the same old story and reLited in the same 614 way. That is about the t r - ... briefest and quickest wax of describing the ballot upon United States Senator yesterday. It was . simply and abso- j lutely featureless arid to al loutward ap j pearances it would seem that this sort j of thing would continue until th end of I the session, so mechanical and method ical is the duty performed. ; However - monotonous it may seem, (there is certainly a great deal of rest j -tessness displayed upon the outside and especially by the leaders of the factions wno are working like Trojans to bring about a settlement of the difficulty in their respective favors, ; It I iuite certain that th Multno mah delegation, as a- solid body, has one man in view, with, a, good alternate In the background, neither of whom have been voted for so far. an it is their aim to secure a compromise fltfc the Geer faction, if possible, upon one or th other of their candidates -and If the rjMr and Multnomah J forces . woubi i combine - and the scattering votes be ( picked up, this would- create a sufHeient strength to draw enough of the weak -. ening one from the Fulton contingent J to secure- an election. ;i '" -- -.' - '-.'-;' j This state of affairs; would be much j more difficult to bring- about at this j time than it would have been' one week ' ago. for the Geer forces Have had their : courage very much bofwtered up during the past few days; and they appear in very buoyant sprits and declare to the? man that they-feel more confldent off winnig now than at any f lme previous since the balloting, began. - l , - .Senator Fulton. although he. looks very tired, serious and careworn, has not lost any of his courage or confi dence,, and -maintains', that, h will be elected United States Senator and that before many more days' have expired.

There are many who say that, his race is just about run and that, in the event o fhis not being able to secure more than forty votes be fore the close of next week, his defeat is quite generally predicted. He has been working very assiduously and has brought every Influence to bear. In an effort to gain some support from the Marion county delegation, but his ef forts are like seeds scattered upon the desert sands, for they fall to make the slightest Impression upon the ''solid six. He is also trying very hard to break Into the Multnomah delegation, but with no more success than in the other direction and the situation must surely look discouraging to bjm. : "While some aver that ' the present conditions will not change until the eleventh hour of the session others .sa ythey can see! a break In the clouds not ai great way off and that an election will have taken place before the close Of next week. . .
