GEoRGHrowHS, Dell, Sept. 20.-The
Democratic County Convention had Just
adjourned when ] arrived here, last evening,
but the ratification meeting was in full blast
and everybody i'm attendance seemed TO be
especially pleased at the manner in which
things political were moving.
"How does the ticket suit ~ was my first
and most natural question.
''Perfectly," was the unanimous answer,
and the beaming looks of satisfaction that
in every instance accompanied the response
was ample evidence that the work of the
convention was pleasing to all.
And the general impression seems to be
that the ticket is both strong and popular.
With that exquisite political tf,esse that
distinguishes the average Sussex county
politician, (the best In the world, by the
way) the ticket nominated yesterday Is not
only strong In its personnel, but is made up
with such a subtle delicacy as to reconcile
every heretofore warning element and
cement the hearty support of the entire party
towards its election. There was no con-
tention of opposing sentiments, but In the
selection of candidates the convention con
sidered not only the excellence Of the parties
mentioned, but the peculiar personal and
family influences that were likely TO be
drawn to their support. The result was O
strong, clean and satisfactory ticket, which
is regarded on all sides as the best that has
been presented to the people of Sussex
county, by either party, for years. Here is
