Delaware marks new era as legislature outlines shifts
On New Year’s Day 1900 the Delaware legislature will convene in Dover with Republicans controlling both houses and state offices shifting to Republican hands in New Castle and Kent counties while Sussex remains Democratic. Governor Tunnell serves until John Hunn’s inauguration, and Philip L. Cannon becomes lieutenant governor as the new constitution provides. The General Assembly will cast its first joint ballot for U.S. Senators, with Addicks seeking the short term amid a split assembly of 18 Addicks, 11 Regulars, and 23 Democrats. Possible coalitions between Union Republicans and Democrats loom to decide the outcome.
