Nominatlon Election.

The Democrats Of New Castle County
will hold nomination election to day
between the hours OF IL o'clock noon
land z O'Clock this evening, for the pur-
pose OF selecting candidate for Sheriff
land one for Coroner. For the first
named position there are eight candi-
dates rs follows: Ex.Ooroner Frank
y. Smith, OF this city, who lives at No.
1916 Orange street; Giles Lambson, q
farmer of New Castle Hundred; Robert
W. Chambers, ex-0eppiy sheriff, who
keeps tavern at No. 116 jackson
street; AlvAnAllen, brjckmaker, north.
west corner Of Clayton and Beech,
John p. Mckee, farmer, New Castle
Hundredt j. r. O. Oldham, salesman,
White Clay Greek Hundfed; q. NJ.
D. Robinson, miller, Christiana Hun
|dred; william vAndegrift, merchant,
|St Georges hundred.
With auch great number of candi-
dates II IL hard TO predict the result,
aud 1t 10 probable that the vote fn this
city will be 90 closely divided between
Messrs. Smith, Chambers and Allen,
with Lam bson sweeping IN a share, that
whichever one may carry 1t will do 20
by q very small majority. Mr.. Smiths
friends claim that owing TO the multi.
plicity OF candidates he is certain Of the
nomination, but there are others who
are equally certain that Mr.. Lambson
will be the victor, while some wiseAcres
shkke their heads and predict that, rs
| there 10 80 much dissention about the
matter, the vote will be divided to such
an extent that Mckee OF New CASTLE
Hundred or Oldham Of White Clay
Creek Hundred will be the nominee.
1t Is, however, probable that the candi-
date will be from this city, as there ia
no doubt bat the vote here will reach
fully 5000, and even II that should be
nearly equally divided between the
leading candidates, It will ee impossi-
BILE to overcome 1t in the county.
The names mentioned for the coroner
ship are but one less In number than
those for sheriff, the candidates being
ns follows: George I. Barnhill, council
man and undertaken, OF the firm ot
johnson & Barnhill, No. &7 Marke,
street; Patrick Lambert, coach trimmer
for the p, W. 8 B. Railroad Company
living at the European Hotel; William
IT. Writ, clerk Of the market, No. 1926
West Front street, Joseph Yarnall, mo-
In business, No. 6l5 Tatnall street
George A. Willis, miller, Christians
Hundred; Samuel O. Pierce, of thu
grocery firm OF 8. O. Pierce & Son, No
I17O0 Scott street; George Hallman
blacksmith, st. Georges Hundred.
The contest for coroner is pretty vel
narrowed down to Barnhill and Lam
bert, with the chances 80 well divide,
that 1t would not be possible to pred !c
the result
