The action of some Of Mr.. Bayard' friend.
in getting him to speak in this town last week
was kind of wet blanket to the Salisbury
Ring. 1t seems that the Central Commit
tee was not cOnsulted-a terrible innovation
in the estimation of the Ring The night Of
the meeting some Of the faithful" instead
OF going TO hear the speech, went to Dover
and held conference, which resulted in a call
for county mss meeting being at once issued
under the proper red tape formula. The
Ring, watching the Smyrna movement with a
jealous eye, and not altogether liking the ma.
terlal used in its make up" hit suddenly
upon tns erp dient to block their G. M. This
explains why 50 unusual proceeding has been
reserted to-holiing Democratic mass meet
ing before any nominations have been made
or before it was even thought of Opening the
political campaign. The Ring have gotten
this meeting up not from any great issue brought
about by the Fifteenth Amendment. but from
sheer jealousy. The Smyrna Democracy are
In favor Of cur State being governed by the
white man" but the Ring are not sure that
they think that The white men who govern il
should belong to the salisbury family. Tn

RECOVERY OF MONEY SPENT FOR DRINK.-
A Michigan woman has recovered by law all
the money that her husband had spent in a
liquor saloon for six years. The prohibitory
liquor law of that State does not regard liquor
as property" and the woman received the
money on the ground that it had been paid to
the liquor vender without consideration. After
this verdict gets to be well understood through
