The RgPUBErcAI met Hen. George P.
Fisher Of Dover, in the corridor OF the
U. S. court room yesterday and asked
"Do you think that the contention
which arose in the Republican State
Convention last week 10 likely TO per.
manently injure the prospects Of the
partyi'
"0h no, on the contrary think thai
the party will not bs injured in the
least. A little wise, iudisious and con
ciliatory action on both sides, which
think will be forthcoming is all that
is needed to permanently heal up the
wound."
Prom what you see is there not dis
position on part Of both sldss to over
look all differences and 60 to wofk'"
eyes / notice that already; the party
can be harmonizsd and put in splendid
working order very easily"
"Couid not Mr.. l. N. Mills aid h'.r.
nony much by appointing the State
Central Committee impartially :"
"Undou btedly he could. Ny i'm.
preston is that Mr.. Mills will do that
very thing, and that in his selections
he will be wise. careful and impartial.
sueh being the case and every thing
else being carefully managed the party
would be completely harmonised."
New won't you tell me about the
big quarrel in the Convention over del
ega!es-Ehat caused II ?"
"This: in New Castle the trouble
vas over the question Of selecting Levi
6. Clark or George L Townsend. Mr..
Townsend | do not know very well,
while l am well acquainted with Mr..
Clark. Mr.. Clark is also well known
in Kent and very much liked, hence
the forty votes of that county we're
cast for him every time. In Sussex II
was the same way, excepting that Ben
janin Burton was much mere satisfac-
tory to the Kent county folk than Dan
j. Layton. That made Kent take the
course she did"
"As chairman tf the Committee on
Credentials you we're brought much
more in 10 the proceedings than you 9th
srwise would have been, were you not'
"0h yes when the report Of the
Committee was attacked, felt bound
TO defend IL. With reference TO Lhe
Baltimore Hundred contest the commit.
tee reported in fsvor of unseating the
delegates who had been returned be-
cause they were elected by the votes
Of William and Joshua Phillips, we'll
known Democrats, who that very morn
ing had boasted that they would vote
the Democratic ticket all their lives.
When we took up the Tenth Ward
case it was getting late, messages came
three or four times frsm the convention
asking us to.burry up; inasmueh as it
was plain to us that one side was IS
bad as the other, we reported to allow
both TO vote. II was the beEt thiRs to
be done under the circumstances"
