Indications that tho Democrats vii, have q
Safe MRiOritY in OelaWAr0.

The election to day will be hOtly con-
tested in Delaware. The Democrats are
confident and the Republicans claim TO
be confident also. The probabilities are
that the Democrats will carry the state by
not less than six hundred majority and it
may swell into one thousand. Stockley
for governor will probably lead his ticket.
The Democrats will, in all probability,
elect fourteen cut OF the twenty-OEe men,
bers of the House Of Representatives.,
while more confident Democrats claim
the election of the complete delegations in
AL three OF the counties. The unpOpu-
arisy of Harrington has caused consider
aoIo disaffection among many kepubli-
canS. The only hope the Republicans
have is by The use of a corruption fund.

An Estimate OF tho Success OF the Ticket

Owing to the disaffection in the Repub-
lican party on the nominee of governor it

mate. The indications are, however, that
