IHE SUSSEX PRIMARIEs.--An Ercit-
ing ConteSt-COnstitjOnaJ Reform Wins
an Georgetown. were held
throughout Sussex county, Saturday
afternoon, for delegates to the Demo-
cratic county convention, held in
Georgetown, yesterday. In Cedar
Greek hundred the Gray ticket, COM
posed of delegates pledged to the re-
election of Hon. George Gray to the
United States Senate, was successful
by majority of six votes. The "anti
administration" ticket, which is said to
be opposed to Mr.. Gray, was successful
in North West Fork, Seaford. Dagsboro.
Indian River, BrOadkiln, GumbOro and
! Baltimore hundreds, and therefore in
control. In Georgetown ticket
pledged to constitutional reform was
successful.
ECery Evening received the following
dispatch from SeafOrd in relation to
the election in that hundred:
SeGfOrd, September 26tb.-The dele
gate election in this hundred yesterday
was hotly contested by the two factions
and was unquestiOnably the most dis
graceful political gathering ever wit
messed here. Whisky flowed freely
and drunken, bowling mob sometimes
so blocked the way to the ticket win
dow as to make voting almost impossi-
bic. In fact, the street was a scene of
riot from the opening to the closing of
the polls, and the town authorities
We're pOwerless to preserve order, not
Withstanding extra precautiOn had
been made to do 50. EX-C0ngressman
Martin succeeded in securing the dele
gates to the county convention by a
small majority, but the result was OBJ
tanned by every species of chicanery
known in modern politics. Tax re-
ceipts for delinquents were furnished
quickly to order, provided the parties
would vote the Martin ticket, the pres
ent collector and his predecessor both
being identified with this faction. Two
men holding positions at Washington
under the administration-John E.
Martin and John w. Allen-wOrked
: like beavers for the success Of the anti
administratiOnists, the former claiming
that his work and influence largely de
termined the result. 1t was agreed in
the morning between the leaders of the
two factions that no money should be
used, and this was fully sustained by
the Gray men. Later in the day, how
ever, they discovered that clever
trick had been played, the "outs" hav
ing used their funds to a telling advan.
tage on Friday. A free vote and fail
count would record our hundred as
emphatically for Mr.. Gray's return t.
the United States Senate. The contest
was made by the Martins to regain the
supremacy in the hundred lost at the
late primary meeting. 1t is to b'
hoped that such disgraceful scenes al
were enacted yesterday will never oc
cur again. T. DONOHO.
