Special Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN.
DOVER, Delaware, Jan. 18Th.
The friends of the anti salisbury
movement have not recovered from
their defeat as yet. 1t Is still the sub
ect of much comment among pOlitl-
clans everywhere.
If the enemies of Eli Salisbury are
dependent, the friends are not BY any
means jubilant over what, under other
circun. stances, would appear his tri-
umph. They know it was wrenched
from their enemies through want OF
pluck and backbone.
They knew that their opponents had
the NUN beers to defeat them. There Is
no question about it-thsre was ma
jority of tie members of the Legisla-
ture actually opposed to Eli Sauis-
bury's return to the Senate.
The reason for not using Their strength
are many among which shines striking
v respleIdent il that o. want Of pluck.
Agair they did not have any candidate
to vote for. DR.. Ridgely declined to
run and James l.. Walcott would not
enter into the fight The talk of Con
gresham Martin was al bosh, as be
could not have Commanded majority
Il his own delegation. Turning to New
Castle, George Gray was thought or,
but this was effeotually stamped upon
by that gentleman emphatically stating
he would not, under any circumstances,
accept the position. Thus, without a
leader, the whole number of members
opposed to Salisbury able to concen'
trate the forces, without a candidate
TO, whom to vote, and with sufficient
NUN Der to accomplish their purpose,
and two-thirds OF the members of their
wn party with them, the opposition 10
Hi Sa llsbury failed, and he represents
IN the Senate of the United States, a
s ate With hve-sixths Of its citizens op-
posed to him and twO-thirds OF those
citizens his bitter enemies politically.
There Ia no rubbing this out that Is
VIVA, it is, and will not diminish as the
six years roll around.
The effect of the election OF SauIsbu-y
has under it more than at first sight ap'
pears, and the question arises, will Coy
|.rnor Styckley draw the lines in his
appointments, and make open feh'
with tie family In Kent and ou-s' =,
where number Of offices will soon be
|come vacant ? When you ask the
question of those around here, the
will shake their heads In a mysterlous
manner and will say they cannot tel,
Eli Salisbury expects nothing at Stock
i !ey's hands, and that is exactly wha
he viii, get, and do not forget it.
The Governor has pluck, energy aud

a are bitter contests and lively time
ahead.
