The managers of the State fair in addl-
ton to the usual horse racing which attracts
or detracts from the exhibition, now an
nounce a tournament, a ball at public nall
in Dover and a rowing match on the mill

overshadowing the original idea OF an eX-

BILLY" DEAN of Newark rebelled
against what he calls the "ring' rule OF
his party and beat them on Saturday in
the race as candidate for Representative.
The Judges decided before hand that if
Republicans took the pledge laid down in
the party rules they could vote. Dean
beat the ''ring" at their own game and now
they say he was elected fraudulently. The
fight for supremacy is between Dean and
Ray and Dean is happy.
PoLITIcAL SLGHT-oF- IIAND.-It was a
matter of surprise, after what is reported
to have transpired in the transactions OF
| certain official duties in Little Creek Hd.,
| how the nominations were made as they
appear on the ticket. The following from
! the Sentinel explains the kind Of lubrica-
ton used in slipping in name on the
legislative ticket: There was an under
standing between Conaway and Howe, 'if
YOU tickle me, will tickle you" Howe
wanted to be reelected to the Levy Court,
and Conaway wanted to 90 the Legislature.
Conaway told Howe that he would certainly
stick to him. Hence the delegates were
selected to the Convention with that view
two for Howe, two for LOwber, the noml
nee and Conaway himself. When the
vote came in from the delegation, Gtt1
Conaway had got his share, the vote stood
Howe, two; Lowbor two; when Conaway
I G., nf I Ctt, ha,
and nominated him."
