Dupont as Senator from Dela- ware, and they have discovered that if the report of the Elections Committee in favor of Dupont was voted upon to- day it would be defeated. This is a surprise to the mdical senators. They had counted upon the vote of every Re- publican senatot for Dupont and of at least two Populists. Some of the Re- publican senators have up to this time refused to put themselves on record as endorsing what they believe to be ille- gal and unconstitutional.
