MORE TROUBLE IN NORTH MURDERKuL.
Correspondence OF the Commercial ]

OoNEhf ptpboluDeE TO-
1t seems that the Democracy of Kent County
are to be kept in continual turmoil Of excite
ment, notwithstanding their efforts to " keep
COOL" First came the outburst Of feeling at the
composition OF the county ticket which will no
doubt undergo several changes before it will be
made to suit the political wire-pullers. Then
came the appointment of Clerk OF the Peace
which has stirred up the political pool to its very
depths the Indignation at the appointment Of
one who, it Is said, was "carpet-bBgger" and q
folmer member Of the Union League Of PhilA-
dephia being too much for the political stom-
hchs OF those to the ''manor born" who swear by
the Saulsburya.
Close upon the heels OF this comes trouble for
the Unterritied Democracy of Nor. b Murderill
Hundred. Both parties having nominated their
Hundred ticket, the Democrats found that the
Republicans had nominated for Assessor young
man at Canterbury named Wiley. who is local
preacher, and being very popular with the peo-
pie, his nomination was deemed equivalent to
an election. This state OF things would never
do, for the North Murderkill Democrats,
having nominated man who was somewhat no.
ted for his aptness to mispronounce and miss
pel the names of Republicans Especially color
ed) they were anxious to elect him. but that be-
ing impossible in the face OF Mr.. Willeys popu-
larity, something must be done to scare Mr.. W.
from the Republican ticket. Accordingly a
movement was put on foot, which it is suspect
ed enacted from noted Democratic Politician
OF Camden, with Theological ID. d. at the
end OF his name. The NOV ment was a threat
that the Democratic members OF the Methodist
Circuit OF which MIR. W. is the junior preacher
would withhold their contributions for the
ministers salary unless Mr.. W. withdrew from
the field the motive set FORTH being that as
christian mem they could not support minister
who dabbled in politics.
Only think Of that, ye who have heard and
read Rev. l. i. Cooper's speech at q Demo
cratic meeting in the Court House at Dover two
years ago. But these arguments have failed to
make Brother Wiley see 1t in that light, and en-
couraged by all the Republicans, and host of
Democrats who will not withdraw their church
contributions, he has determined like the great
war secretary to 'Stick" remembering too that
