State Political Notes.

Delaware Republicans have come TO
the conclusion that q United States
Judge is very handy thing to have
about the house.-M,ddlet0tcn T. an
script.
The Philadelphia North Americdn
calls Delaware "The Bay State" That's
not bad, but how would 1t do to add
"ard" to the bayP-MtDord Times.
The Kent county Democrats are Just
ly indignant about the manner In which
Chief Supervisor Valentine acted with
reference to their representatives in the
appo' ntment of Supervisors of Registra-
tion. 1t is claimed that editor Cannon,
of the Sentinel, had the whole job put
up for political advantage.
Col. VIM. G. Whitley has already re-
ceived many applications for the position
ofcensus enumerators from both political
parties, and from all parts of the State.
The Middleto,on Transcript says that
the sum-total OF Judge Bradford's rea-
soniug was that the U. s. law for the sp-
pointment of Supervisors of Registration
was intended to reach our case, whether
II does or not.
1t looks now as if the Republicans In
our state had some idea of making An
attempt to wrest Delaware from the
Democrats at the next election. If so,
they have no time to lose, for the Dem
ocr ats are pretty strongly fortified, and
they usually hold on TO power with a
desperate grip.-Neacdrk Ledger.
The number of U. S. Supervisors for
the whole State will be about 102, of
which SO will be for New Castle county.
Is for Kent and 26 for Sussex. These
will cost $50 day for at least ten days
making. total of 100.
Senator Bayard's speech is regarded a.
one of the ablest financial Arguments
ever heard In Congress.-Delasoare In
Qu,rer.
Congressman Martin believes that both
parties in Congress are desirous of At
lending to legitimate business only and
That this will result In a comparatively
early adjournment.
What powers the U. S. Supervisors
will have that are not allowed any prI-
Vate citizen under our laws is something
no one has yet discovered, except the
privilege Of drawing pay from the Fed.
eral Government, provided Congress
makes an appropriation for that pur-
pose.-MiBOrd Chronicle.
Messrs. Dounham and Marvel, the
new proprietors of the SUSSEX Journal.
VIII make their paper straight-out and
fearless Democratic organ.
A careful examination of our State
Statutes will demonstrate that our as
sessment is in fact a registry of voters.-
State Sentinel.
1t is good while ahead to talk Of next
years politics, but there is a disposition
IN FELTON, to return Col. W. 81. Burnite
TO the Legislature next fall, and tie
matter is being spoken Of in great way
even now.

THE LATEST PoLIrIoAL GossIP.--A
Washington correspondent says:-It is
generally believed here to-day in politi-
cal circles that Mr.. Blaine can do what
he wants to with the Pennsylvania Con-
vention, but that he Is not inclined to do
anything. People who are supposed TO
be in Mr.. Cameron's confidence say that
he will not insist on having the delega-
ton instructed; that if an anti-third term
resolution is introduced he will cause 1t
to be quietly burked in the Committee
On Resolutions; that all his efforts will
be TO have quiet and uneventful con-
vention and short meeting, and that
discussion is by all means TO be avoided.
All this looks as though Mr.. Cameron
was beaten. There is no doubt that he
left here fully determined that Pennsyl-
vania should start the third term bc om
anew and point the way which New
York, Illinois and other States were to
follow.

IT WAS stated in the GAZETTE a few
days ago on the authority of a Richmond
paper that General Malone, the newly
elected U. 8. Senator from Virginia,
would support the Republican candidate
for the Presidency. This is now denied
by General Malone. His position in the
Presidential contest, he say s, is independ
ent, and he will urge the readjusters'
party to put up ticket pledged to no
Presidential candidate and committed
to no national party.
