. i SENATORIAL MIME. End of the Long Contest in the Delaware Legislature, A VERY COM PLICATED AFFAIR. After a Deadlock Lasting Fot Months .J. Edward Addlcks Full# oT Electloal as Successor to Ex-United states Senator Hlgulns?Colonel II. A. Dupont, the Powder Manufacturer, the I>3rk Horse. The General Assembly of Delaware adjourned sine die after balloting ail day for a successor to ex-Unite.1 States Senator Anthony J. Hijjgins. The Republicans claim that their leading candidate, Colonel Henry A. Dupont, \ras legally elected. The matter Will probably be taken to the United States Senate for a decison. The 211th ballot since the deadlock began four months ago and the last of the session was taken a few minutes before 3 o'clock. It resulted: Henry A. Dupont (Rep.). 15; J. Edward Addicks (Rep.), 4: Edward Ridgeley (Dem.), 9: Ebe W". Tunnel (Dem.), 1. As soon as Governor Watson (Dem.), who. by reason of the fact that he was Bpeaker of the Senate previous to his elevation to the Govern >r's chair upon the death : . ' of Governor Marvil, presided over the joint session, announced the sine die adjournment, Mr. McMuIlin (Rep.), Speaker of the House, arose and formally declared Henry A. Dupcnt elected United States Senator, nnu: u..A l,?an nwuoil linnil b* the Re JLiilO ttUklUU linu uuwu ? ' f publican leaders. """ COLONEL H. A. ?UPONT. ' The Delaware Legislature is composed of twenty-one Representatives and nine Senators, sixteen being a majority on joint ballot. The Republican say that when Senator Watson, by virtue of his position as Speaker of the Senate, succeeded to the Governorship upon the death of Governor Marvil one month ago, the number of Senators was reduced to eight, and therefore there were only twenty-nine on joint ballot and that fifteen votes constitute a majority. On the otier hand, the Democrats and Governor Watson say that the law distinctly declares that the "Speaker of the Senate" shall become Governor. Therefore, if Mr. Watson withdraws from the Senate, he ceases to be "Speaker of the Senate," and. consequently, loses the Governorship. The question is likely to occupy a large amount of public attention for months. / This is tbe third time there has been a vacancy in the United States Senate from i,? Delaware. Previous to this session the Legis lature has twice failed to elect, the first time boing in 1764 and the second in 1839. In iaqa rto urn? similar to the nresent one and the seat remained vacant until , 1841. Governor Comegys, who was the Executive at the time, made no effort to fill vacancy. Colonel Henry A. Dupont, who will make the contest for the Senatorship, is a member of the famous Dupont family, who have been manufacturers of powder and other explosives near Wilmington, Del., for over a century. He is a son of the late General Henry Dupont, and was born at Brandywine Banks in 1836. He attended the University of Pennsylvania and was subsequently appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point, graduating in 1861. He entered the Fifth United States Artillery and served through the Civil War. In 1874 he was married to Miss Pauline Foster, of New York City. He is a member of the firm of E. I. Dupont. D<? Nemours & Co., and is also President of the Wilmington ana Northern Railroad Company. Colonel Dupont has been a Republican ever since the organization of the party. He was never an aspirant for office, but always . took an active interest in local political affairs. In 1892 he was a candidate for Presidential Elector on the Republican ticket, but was defeated.
