Delaware will have in the senate of tho
united States Republican senator.
While il was almost certainty that the
county Of Kent would elect Republican
delegation 10 the Legislature, rs rebuke
70 certain deaigning and spheming polti-
clans, the result, ct arat glance, in Sussex
was n surprise. The Democrats in Kent
who caused the defeat of the unit-rule
ticket did 30 openly and above board.
From the time of the convention up to
the day Of the election large number OF
Democrats openly proclaimed their pur-
pose OF defeating the ticket, so that Tue
leaders of anti rulBism had full warning
Of what might DO expected, therefore
there need not be any explanation given
why defeat was had in this county. In
Susgex county defeat was secured by the
MD Of Republican nionay end the friends
of the Kent county amt rulers. We mako
this Insertion not for tho purpose Of de-
oepuons, but upon the best authority.
What WAS the cause Of that action
on the part Of the unit-rnlefs2 Ex-
PLANTATION is simple. Believing that the
ticket In Kent was certain OF being
elected, with that purpose which has been
their governing star throughout the whole
eaiapsign--the sending Of Woloott TO the
Senate-they set about to defeat the
ticket i'll Sussex for the sole reason that
the delegation was looked upon to favor
tla return Of the present senator. Be.
lieying that the defeat Of the legislative
ticket in Sussex would deprive bosh
Sussex and Mr.. salisbury Of any chance
Of an election, and it would leave clear
sailing for James L. Woloott, they staked
their all upon the throw of the die, and
lost, thereby delivering the state into
Republican hands, TO appease the self
oonoeit aud waiting ambition Of this man
Woicctt. AS ives expected they who are
the sale cause Of Democratic defeat are
endsaVoring to shift tho responsibility Of
defeat upon others than themselves.
There are, however, certain facts that
cannot be explained away. Theze are
certain questions chat cannot be answered.
/ La the politics OF Kent for tina
/ Last u years there has been no
| disturbauoe except that raised by
4 Woleott and his followers. In the
4 party's history in thia county no one was
Go Fash who dared to advocate the adop-
zion Of rule which would rob the pe0-
pls OF their rights except this man VOL
cctt. Ia the political history Of the State
EheGe has bean no one who considered
himself leader that would cast aside
every confederation, who wonld disrupt
the party, who wcpid load Il to defeat,
for the sake Of carrying ont hil own per
sonGl schemes, exospt this man wolcott,
4 Hd, tho author of these troubles which
have ia tho eud brought disruption and
defeat in his madness has not only
pulled himself down, but the party which
has befFiendad him 40 much and so often,
80 that in tho future, in the eyes of the
honest and true Democrats who, on Tues
dgy last, epusned him and his methods,
