Wlllnrd Snultliurr After tho Domoorntlo Nomination for Senator. Dovan, Jan. 4. The logUlaturo of Dol awnre will meet here tomorrow, and much Interest centers in tho opening of tho ses sion because of tho political muddle In the state. A United States ttnator is to ht elected to fill the vacahoy caused "by the refusal of the senate to seat Colonel Honry A. Dupont, Republican, 'who olalms to have been elected at the last session of the assembly. Colonel Dnpont and the faotton of tho Republicans headed by ox-Senntor Hlggins still havo hopes lmt ho will bo seated. The Addicts xtopubllcans and the Democrats, however, dealhro that a va cancy exists, nnd will proceed accord-. ingly. Tho Delaware assembly Is composed of I thirty members, twenty-otio representa tives and nine collators. At tho recent election the Democrats onrtied New Castlo ' county, giving them one senator and six representatives, tho Republicans olectlng i ono representative in tne oannty. In Kont county both sldos claim fo havo oarrlod tho oounty, but the Democttulo returning board throw out several ojfeotlon districts on tho ground of fraud. The Demoorats cnrrlod Sussex county nnd havo tho cer tificates of election, but ttt Addloks men havo entered a contest. Should the court of error nnd appeals decide In favor of the Demoorats thoy would havo twonty-flve Out of thirty mombors on joint ballot Should tho Re publicans win tho assembly' would stand on joint ballot, Democrats) 17; Republi cans, 18. The legislature, however, judge of tho qualifications of its Jnombers, and tho Doinocrat8 may seat tholr Kont oounty men regardless of the court's decision. Tho Sussex county Republican contest ants will not bo soated. Tho Addlcks mfin are doing considerable talking about organizing a rump legislature in caso their Kent oounty claimants are not seated. A lively fight is being waged among tho Domocrats for United States senator. Tho battlo appears to be Wlllard Saulsbury, of wumiugton, against tbo ileal.
