SATURDAYS sniff

I AA EHfAaa
The boilers committee met yesterda,
afternoon in the Court House and organ
lied by the election OF Edward Haman
chairman; John T. Dickey, secretary ant
John T. Donahoe, treasurer. The commit
tee then passed the following resolutions:
Whereas, We, the undersigned, havinp
been elected by the Democrats OF New
Castle county, at the county meeting helc
at the Opera House Ia the city Of New Cas-
tie, on May 20. as the Executive Commit
tee OF the Democratic party OF New Castl,
county, we deem it proper to state oul
position. As has always been the custom
and which was agreed to by r. G. Justis
the vice-presideut Of the last county meet
/ ing, this meeting should have been
called IN the Court House and then
adjourned to thu Opera HOUSE by the
chairman when elected. Instead, there
were two gentlemen named Tor chairman,
Mr.. Sewell c. Biggs and MIR. Edmund
Hamau. Ia the disorder that prevailed
Mr. ,Jus;is, disregarding the voice Of an
overwhelming majority for Mr. Hamnn,
declared Biggs chairman. A division was
called for and Mr.. Justls requested to put
the question, which be persistently refused
to do, when Mr.. Biggs appeared and said
that he was satisfied for division and did
not want 10 be chairman IL there
we're more Ia favor OF HRman
than for himself. Amid loud calls
for division the Democrats divided and
showed ct least three votes for Haman to
two for BIgcs. Mr.. Hsman being elected
be called the meeting to order in the Opera
House, and the minutes show that
each hundred elscsed its own member Of
the COMMITTEES, which were ratified by the
meeting. Therefore, be il
Resolved. That we declare the meeting
presided over by Mr. Haman TO be
only county meeting regularly organ
lied and held on that day, and
by viii % the majority Of the
Democrats there present have organized
as the County Executive Committee OF the
Democratic Marty, all members being pres
ent except George G Rothwell OF Black
bird hundred, and will proceed to transact
the business Of our party.n
The resolution is signed by all the mem
bers Of tbs Haman committee with the ex-
ception Of Mr.. Rothwell.
1t was decided by them not TO appoint
the judges to hold the nomination elections
until later in the week.
Compromise measures OF various kinds
were suggested at the meeting yesterday.
The two finding the most favor are, first,
Of RELOCATING the entire matter to the
hundreds. and second. to have the two
committees come together and each aide
select alternately By lot a new committee
from the two sets Of men already chosen.
In view OF these propositions to compro-
mise, the preceding resolutions appear TO
have been put forward ss a mere show OF
boldness. Their feeling ss expressed by
a member OF the committee afterward was
that as much as possible ought to be got out
OF the general wreck. After me comes
the delugen
An adjournment was then taken until
o'clock to-day, when the proposition of
compromising the affair will be urged by
them upon the regular county committee
As to the reception OF this there is hut one
view to be taken judging from the remarks
Of the regulars. They will not receive it
as coming from any Democratic committee
representing this county. Ex-senator Nc
Whorter thought that the regulars would
plainly inform such delegation that any
communication they had to make as
individuals would be listened to. as they
we're gentlemen, but they would absolutely
refuse to recognizes the existence OF any
other body but their own Ia this matter, or
10 other words. they would not receive the
boilers unless they first dispersed as an
executive committee OK the Democratic
party.
The regulars st their meeting to- day
win appoint the judges for the nomination
elections for the several hundreds outside
Of Wilmington. In this city it is intended
to exercise great care in the selection of
the judges. None Of those persons who
have hitherto held nominations will
be selected, and 1t is the desire
Of the committee to have men who are
Of reputable character. Among some Of
those who will likely be asked Ia serve as
judges are Joseph L. Carpenter, Jr., Euoch
Moore and Charles e. Dsbell.
II has treuspired since the meeting on
Saturday last that App5 euinimink hundred

Scott for the County Executive Committee,
