POLITICAL GOSSIP.
DOVER, Jan. 10.-The iitful fever of the
last campaign is over and Chairman Har-
rlngtOn Of the Republican State Central
Committee seems to be taking things re-
markably easy, and paying no more atten-
tion to politics than the anti-Dover wing did
under his dashing leadership. He drops
| around into the lobby occasionally, but ap-
| parently takes no interest in what Is going
on. 1t is little interesting to think the
| vest difference between the position Chair
man Dick now occupies, aud that which he
would have held had his effort to
carry the State for Albert Currey and the
Legislative ticket, packed in his interest,
been successful, there is no doubt of the
fact that he would have been ruler supreme.
Some one has given out the report that Mr..
Harrington was going to resign the chair
manship, tut there is no truth In IL.
asked a man who is close hand in glove
with the State Central Committee, about 1t,
E and he declares that it is unioupded,
G and added that the party did moi
e desire that he should resign. He
| then went on to define what the party In his
s opinion was composed of and read Mr.
: Higgins, his New York journalistic contin-
gent and all the rest of that division OF the
party In Wilmington out of the organiza.
ton of great moral ideas. "They are moi
Republicans in any sense, = said he, land
r when you ask why, say because they really
s did us more harm than good IN th'
| last campaign. 1t is q fact that Mr.
h Higgins, and his friends and his orgaI
q being to the Republican cause dead weigh
during the whole campaign, and it Is also 6
fact, and one we can prove, that thost
: people went to Washington and Influenced
:. Hubbell's man Henderson to send tht

When Major Lofiand and Judge Fisher wen

Is the election they were met with refusal
