for a convention.
As to candidates, the Democrats, in
accordance with time-honored custom,
will renominate their present representa-
tive, Hon. Charles B. Lore. No names
are yet mentioned for Presidential
electors, and probably will not be until
the assembling of the convention. Then
each county, in caucus, will seleot .
suitable name, and their choice will be
ratified by the convention.
Leaders of the Republican party in THE
end OF the State have not given the OBJ
| greHsionsl nomination any ssrl
thought, except to express an entire will.
| ingness to allow the empty honor IT, ; 0
to Sussex county. They would lie
delighted If JACOB Moore, tho popnlG,
lawyer Of Georgetown, would accsp. tbs
sacrifice, but this gentleman has alb Ut
permanently retired from active politics,
and will not consent. Lawyer G.
+. Richards, also of Georgetown, is
mentioned as the most likely nominee.
1t is possible the county rights wing Of
the party in New Castle county may try
| to get the nomination for Job Il. jackson,
particularly II they secure majority Of
Of the county delegation. In the primary
fight they may prove successful, IS the
old State central committee adherents, OF
Stalwarts, recognising the fact that the
success of Blaine will mean as complete
a change In the Federal appointments o.
Delaware rs the success of Cleveland, are
not inclined to be very active during this
campaign, either at the primaries or the
general election.
