ardent, supporter of Democratic prin-
ciples and Democratic nominations.
Applause | assume the duties of this

and hope will receive in their discharge

PLEASANT LITTLE EPISODE
here occurred. Henry e, Turner Esq
Irose with handsome bouquet in his
hand, and said;
"Mr. Chairman. Before left Whining
ton this morning little Democratic
miss handed me this beautiful bouquet,
with the request that would present 1t
the biggest man among the Democrats
al. Dover, to-day.i l know Of none bigger
than the chairman Of this convention"
Chairman Ellegood was considerably
AIKEN aback by this unexpected assault,
but quickly recovering, he heartily
thanked the little Democratic miss of
Wilmington and hoped
"Thnt fate may on her fairest page,
With every kindliest, best presage,
On iutNrs bliss enroll her name,
rhe Iairest on the roll Of fame."
Enthusiastic applause greeled this
temporary departure from lhe usual
Convention business,
GETTING DOWN TO WORK.
The Convention then settled itself
down to business, and Ex-senator
Thomas K. Records moved that the
nomlna ion ofa candidate forRepresenta-
live In Congress- be now proceeded
with. Adopted.
Albert o. Newton, Of st Gto.ge s
nominated Hon. Edward L. Martin,
whose name was greeted with prolonged
"A M a.
Mr.. Chairman, rise to make a nom
ination, aud in doing so you will pro-
badly anticipate the name as that of the
Hon. Edward l.. Martin, of Sussex
county, who, having distinguished him
self as a good representative in the lower
house of Congress, we could not, think,
offer a more fitting appreciation of his
valuable services, than denomination
by this convention, for though rotation,
as general principle, is a safety of the
State, aud which every executive and
other appointing power should strictly
adhere to, yet some may prudently be
permit.edta retain their stations for q
second term, or even third, there are
but few of these however. I therefore,
in accordance with the usual Democratic
custom In Delaware, (for this particular
office) nominate MIR. Martin for re-elec-
ton to represent the Stale of Delaware in
the next Congress of the United States.
Wm. F. Causey, Esq. of Milford.
recently OF st. LOUIS, seconded the noni
ination of Col. Martin. He said for the |
past Twelve years he had watched the |
course of the Democratic party and Its |
leaders 10 this State. For the past decade |
entire harmony has prevailed within |
tue party ranks, and good has been the
result. We recognize In the Hon. Ed |
ward l.. Martin a faithful citizen OF
Delaware and a true blue Democrat.
[applause.l We regard The office he has
so aceptably filled as high and honora-
BILE one. No State, to-day, occupies |
higher position In the councils of the |
nation than Delaware. 70 represent |
this State is greater honor than to rep |
resent the great State OF New York. |
For the finger Of corruption has never
touched the representatives of the Dia-
mond State, and Delaware has ever been
true to the position as one of the States
of the Union.
Mr.. Causey closed with brilliant
allusion to Gen. Hancock, whose cleo
tion he predicted, while tbe Convention
greeted the name with storm of ap-
plause. He hoped Delaware would |
ioin I'm electing to Congress men in
t borough sympathy with the Nationi
con didates,
Henry @. Turner moved that Mr..
Martin be nominated by reclamation.
