The only thing of interest which charac-
terized the above proceeding was the case
of James Lang who had been elected the
candidate for Representative from VIII
mington Hundred at the nomination election
last Saturday. When Wilmington Hundred
" called In its turn Mr.. Simmons arose
al said:
Owing to the fact that lot of drunken
Republican rowdies and ruffians got posses.
sion of the City Hall upon that
The chair (interrnpting)-Oh don't say
that sir.
Mr.. Simmons (Qoing on) owing, as I said
before, to the action of drunken rewdies nc
nominations were held and all order was
broken up. a.F
The president the gentleman sug.
gest candidate.
Mr.. Simpson-No, Sir, I'll not suggest
any one.
The President would suggest the nom
nation of Fl F. Duer.
Mr.. Simmons-Mr. Duer says positively
that he decides nomination after the
scenes that have transpired and further
more says he will never again allow his
name to be used after those acts at the
Hall, and also the report Of those acts which
appeared In the Republican of this city
which was worse than the monkey show al
the Hall itself.
Mr.. Pickels here suggested the name Of
John Green as candidate, and 1t was so
ordered as has already been given In the
list of candidates ratified.
After this list of candidates had been
fixed up and passed the president read a
letter from the secretary bearing upon the
nomination of State ticket. 5t
The President supplemented the title oil
his inquiry into the matter as to whether
there would be advantage or disadvantage
In nominating State ticket. He had cor
responded and conversed with many leading
Republicans in Kent and Sussex counties,
and he found them all opposed to State
convention to nominate man. 1t was
nearly the same ease In New Castle.
Mr.. Money of st. Georges Hundred was
of the opinion that If the party would ga
to work they could elect our Sheriff and
Coroner, ahd also OF least ole Representa-
tive and member of the Levy Court, He
also stated that he had collected fund out
of which the taxes of certain delinquent
Republicans were paid to prevent them
from being returned as errors ~%'l9't
There was some remarks at this stage ot
the proceeding strongly in advocacy Of put
ting State ticket in the field but Mr.
Pickles and Bye took grounds against II
most f1rmly. The former gentleman said
th at they could institute a still hunt with q
county ticket and work quietly but they
could were they to put State ticket in the
field 1T would at once chrystallize' the de-
mocrscy into solid body dissatisfied ele-
meDts and all. a.. ,ro,i.,,s..
There was some remarks about the STATE
ticket during which one gentleman said thai
more organization was needed In Whining
ton on nominations days to prevent "moneJ
shows" in the hall and without traDsactinp
any i'm poItant business the committee ad-
journed to meet 5wo weeks hence. ...-,
