The attack was SO unexpected that
Brown was momentarily bewilderod as he
stopped and picked up his hat which had
been knocked off by the fist of The bully.
Having done this Brown stepped back ON
the pavement in front of Reynolds and

had not bueu abducted but had gone of
voluntarily, and he was informed that

DOVER. Sept. Yesterday afternoon, for
the first time during this campaign, the
Republicans of Dover threw their bunting to
the breeze. A large flag was seen floating
over Main street between the post Office and
Burtoh's Hall, the headquarters for East
Dover Republicans. The flag bore no name
and stranger wOnld not lave known in
honor of whom il iloated. Wewould suggest
that the chairman of the State Central Com
mittcc attach the names of the Presidential
candidates, ut least before tomorrow, ns ii
would be very embarrassing tn some of the
delegates to have to inquire whom the Chicago
convention nominated.
There was a meeting called for all dissntis-
fed Democrats last night in Collision Hall.
Jacob G. Lewis and Henry Clay Collision are
said to be the leaders. The former is mad
over the appointment Of the Oyster Revenue
Collector, and the latter is one
of the many disappointed aspirants
to the sheriifs Office of Kent county.

ordinary routine of business of any kind.
There was less interest and smaller audiences
than usually is the case on like occasions.

Jefferson Walford and Lester Whetherly, on

playful sparring match, Walford was killed
from the violence of blow received upon
the chest. Whetherly was Immediately
arrested, but was released upon the finding
of the coroner's jury as above.
