The Newspaper Mems Delaware Riv
or Club, of Philadelphia, on board the
steam tug samuel G. King" visited
Fennsgrove on Sunday, numbering
thirty in all. The party was composed
Of editors and reporters OF all the lead
ing journals Of Philadelphia. We We're
respectfully waited upon at our home
by a committee of three requesting us
to accompany them to the Hotel de
French and partake of the Sumptuous
repast thereat provided, and although
we were not feeling very well, they
would not listen to any excuses, but
babe us follow them, which we did.
Upon reaching the dining room we
found the brothers quietly seated
around the tables, partaking OF the ne
cessities of life. We were then intro
duced and babe to "wade in" Which
we only too willingly accepted, for we
remembered the old saying "a New
Jersey editor seldom gets a square
meal.'
After supper we proceeded to the
Park, accepted a %ten-eenter, and palled
profuseIy, leisurely watching the small
clouds of elegantly p%erfumed smoke
ascend and disappear over the deep
blue waters of the Delaware. We ac-
companicd them to the boat and after
inviting us to accompany them TO their
homes we bid them q final farewell for
the day.
The officers of the club are as follows:
President, J. D. Hoeckley; Vice Prcsi-
dent, G. =. Pierce; ID Vice President,
Samuel Mcdonald; Secretary, Frank
II. Jones; Treasurer, NJ. s. Reeves.
We would like very muck to give the

Buckner and Robinson.

The Buckner candidacy was much
discussed in political circles, and the
general impression was that the
movement assured the entire 9TH dis
trict to Campbell after Buckner had
dropped out. The announcement of
Judge Buckner's gubernatorial am
bition removes him from the Con-
g~ressional a C in a district which he
has represented for twelve years COLI
tinuously. Common report comedies
the succession to Judge Elijah Rob-
%inson, Of Pike county. who is at pres
ent Circuit Judge. Several gentle
men from St. Charles county yester-
day claimed that Judge Buckner was
only urged to enter the field after
the situation had been carefully stud.
led, and hold that he is a sure win.

Col. McFarlane, a leading demo-
crat of Pike county, made US a pleas
ant call this week. He says Robin
son will carry Pike for Congress
without any trouble. He says the
people not only think he is much the
best man, but they know if Pike
wants the Congressman Judge Rob-
inson must, without doubt, be the
man presented to the convention. He
also says that Marmaduke is booming
for Governor and that Campbell was
in the militia. He says Pike county
has no use for men who were ia the
shirt-tail militia.

L. B. Buckner, our present eff

Parties not friendly to R.. T. Cen
try could find nothing against his adj

Treasurer except to claim that Dick
was running in connection with some
slate OF another. They would not
specify what slate they referred to or
their reasons for the statement. We
know what we are talking about when
we say that R. T. Gentry is running
for State Treasurer on his own merits
subject to the rules Of his party, and
untrammeled by any faction, clique

j. F.. Hutton says if lie runs for
any office he wants Bob White and
some others he could name to oppose
him. We are sorry for this because
we would take pleasure in supporting
Hutton for any office VIZ thought him
qualified, and besides it would be
quite q feather in our cap to elect
him after lie has failed so many times
without our support. Maybe though,
be thinks we would elect him by
lighting him. Nothing is farther
from our mind. Pluck up your
courage and plume up your feathers
and ask for what you want.

Curiosity.

A veritable natural curiosity is in
the possession of a st. Louis editor.
1t is the head Of a two-year-old rat.
tle-snake preserved in spirits, the
lines and tracings on the back OF
which formed a very well-defned pic
ture of the head and bust of a wo.
man. The gentleman states that be

with a whip, killed tn. Y. Sun.

Fer Primary Election.

It is fully understood and expected
by the people of eastern Audrain that
the county Central Committee will
adopt school district primaries, and
also Of the majority OF the people Of
the whole county, and II the CON-
mittee does not take this matter full
ly into consideration they will fall
short Of their duty. We understand
that the committee is likely to ignore
this fact, and are in favor OF the
primary convention. II they have
not already acted upon this Iasster It

tises Of the people, to see that the
wishes Of the people are maintained.

W. II. KEENAN,, of Mexico, is
highly spoken Of as a suitable man to
represent Audrain county in the leg
islature. There is no better materi-
al in Audrain county, and we sim
cerely hope he will receive the nom-
nation, as we think be would reflect
credit upon his county and bring ii
into prominence. He would be the
right man in the right place.-Paris

Crisp on Buckner.

We e the Kansas City Times has
been interviewing j. L. Crisp on
Buckner for Governor with the fol-
lowing result:
"The calves of his legs are too
large; he wears bis breeches too
short, and they don't fit him, be-
sides-that IS, they didn't when I
saw him last"
The above sounds just like Crisp
and we presume Buckner or any 9TH
er good man not troubled with Crisp's
disease would prefer his opposition.
