but 1t will most likely blow
the child up too. The question Is, will.
the Salisbury child dare throw the

sufferer, the match would certainly be
thrown.
But bers is a United States Senator
in all probability 10 be elected by the

Bayard TO step into bis shoes, Il Is his
most sincere desire that Mr.. Gray shall
| be his successor To this there will be
| a general demurrer by the salisbury
wing. and who knows In theee days OF
swapping and trading votes what result
this Will have upon the success OF the
Amendments. Statesman Rankin from
Sussex says the Senator must come
from that county, be he ex.Cosgress-
man L, L. Martin or be he Associate
j astice Woottes, and in this the other
lesser statesmen of Sussex in the Legis-
lature agree.
"Sussex County has had but two
United States Senators in one hundred
years." says statesman Rankin, and
as New Castle County Is TO have q
cabinet office, che can yield the Sena'
torsbip to Sussex. especially as the
Bay ard dynasty has about spun out.
As the Constitutional amendment needs
votes, who knows how many may be
given TO Sussex United States Sena-

Lewes Conference Chat.

LeWeo conference CHAT.
Breskwater Light.
The annual session of the Whining.
ton M Il. Conference will be held at
Snow Hill, beginning on Tuesday,
March 10th. Probably the most inter-
esting and also the most unpleasant
part Of the proceedings will be the trial
of several ministers on various charges.
1t is calculated that nearly 90 charges
will be made in the peninsula pulpits
Rev. j. ID. Kemp, pastor of the M. T..
church of this town, will DO transfer
red, and just who will be sent in his
place is somewhat of a question to the
congregation. The NJ. +. church of
this town has one of the finest parson-
ages on the peninsula, and this fact
combined with the liberal salary makes
Lewes place rather TO be desired by
ministers. It has been rumored that
the friends of the Rev DIR. Underwood
of Seafords y III make an effort to have
him sent to Lewes. Other reports state
that Lewes is to have young minister,
and If such is the case, it is more likely
he Rev. George r. Bristor will be- ap.
pointed Mr.. Bristor Is without doubt
the most talented and eloquent minis
tor in the Wilmington Conference, and
this with his untiring energy and zeal
in Christian labors would make him
acceptable to and worthy Of our large
congregation.
