TSePoI s,,Il Sizzling,

The Administration crowd, says the
Dover Sentinel, through Thomas Giles,
nave scslped the Lore family Martin
t,rowd in theSeaford post. Office fig ht. and
Giles man Horsey Is in. The HarrinR-
ton post-office appointment of the fami-
ly's man Smith, has gone back ; it
would not stick. Shaw still holds the
fort and will continue to do so until the
Administration people get ready to fill
the place. The Georgetown post. Off ce
remains unchanged, the family combi.
nation not succeeding in downing the
Administration in the home of Cover.
nor Stockley.
Thus it will be seen that the Lore
Family Martin crowd are not having
the walk over that they claimed. Did
1t ever strike the reader the way the
Lore e-Family-Martin com bination wa.
put on the road ? Lore is the only one
of the crowd that bad any following
and he is handicapped with two broken
down shows who were willing to con
solidate after they failed to draw. Biggs
their candidate for Governor, Is no
performing to full benches.

Conversation,

In the management of conversation
avoid disputes. Arguments, as they
are usually conducted, seldom end in
anything else. If we have not the
requisite patience good feeling, and
politeness to prevent this, let US defer
arguing altogether. The attitude Of a
seeker after truth is only one In which
to argue, whereas most arguments are
pursued simply to uphold an opinion
already formed and to overthrow an
antagonist. The habit of talking too
much and consuming the time that
should in fairness be given to another
is very common blot on conversation
20 Is that of interruption, and oi
obtruding matter known only to two OIL
three into large circle, Good taste and
good feeling alike forbid these.
