Kent County.

Dover correspondent writes to the
GAZETTE g. The Democrats have here
elected six out of the nine inspectors. the
same thing that they did two years ago
and the Inspectors were really upon what
tie contest was made. Upon the aggregate
vote the Republicans here have the county
by over 50 majority, but this can be ac-
counted Tor by the fact that in the strong
Democratic hundreds of South Murderkili,
Misplllion, Kenton and Duck Creek
the Republicans cast nearly their full vote
While there were great many Democratic
voters who did not feel that 1t was necessary
TO turn out to elect their ticket and staid at
their work. The Democratic vote is as
large as usual at its ''Little Election" I'm
these hundreds, while the Republican vote
is much larger than heretofore on these
elections. There were only contests made
IN East Dover, West Dover, Little Creek and
North Murderkill. The Democrats sue.
ceeded In West Dover by an increased ma
jofty and North Murderkill, which the Re
publican were confident of carrying, went
Democratic, though it went Republican two
years ago. In East Dover the contest was
bitterly fought all day. The Democrats
fought bravely but they could not
overcome the vast negro vote which
Beniah Watson had assessed and
which he voted like so many dumb
cattle. There was considerable confusion
during the day which came near Terminating
In serious fights several times. This was
caused by certain class of Republicans who |
wanted to monopolize too much of the win |
dow. The news from Sussex county ,especi- |
ally from Bob Lambden's hundred, is very |
encouraging to the Democrats. The Demo- |
cratic politicians here, the Salisburys, Pen
ingtons, Buffers, Cooper, Kenney and |
several Others who did active work during
the day, do not feel at least discouraged. |
They all think as does Hon. James l.. |
Wolcott, that the county is good for the
whole ticket at the November election by at
least five hundred majority.
