Winter at Dsver.

= O'Clock, William Herbert in the chair and
H.C. johnson secretary. The main business
of the meeting was the assignment Of mem
bsrs OF the Legislature to the various
hundreds. While this was not de-
cided upon, II was generally agreed TO
leave Red Lion hundred unrepresented.
Most OF the afternoon was spent 10 discuss
ing the propriety OF dropping Pencsder
hundred. MIR. Medill, the member OF the
committee from that hundred and the
former representative to the Legislature,
objscted most strenuously TO his hundred
going unrepresented, and urged that Mil
Creek be dropped instead OF Pencsder. No
conclusion was arrived at.
The committee also spent considerable
time In auditing the accounts Of the last
county committee. The retiring committee
left unpaid bills to the amount OF over
$500 At the meeting on Saturday the final
npportionment will be made and the ar
rangemeLts for opening Of the cam
paign will be completed.
The name of Daniel Mullen, the morocco
manufacturer, was announced yesterday az
candidate for State Senator for Whining

candidate 10 undeniable under certain CON
tingenees. He represents the element 10
favor OF Senator Saulsbury's return 20 the
y. 3. Senate, and. against John Z. Dona-
hoe. could possibly be nominated, pro.
yided there were no other candidates IN the
field. Mullin would divide the element
from which Donahoe expects his main sup
port and would ia addition receive the
solid vote Of the Salisbury faction
Councilman Quinn Ia 10 the field, however,
and 1t ia thought that be will poll a large
vote. With both QuiHn and Mullen in the
field, there Is bat one result, and that 10 the
nomination of Donanoe. With Donahoe
ont of the Geld, Mullin would have but
little show against a candidate like Z. O.
Vandegrift, DR.. James A. Draper or A.
G. Wilson.
For the House in this city the only
candidate announced 10 far Ia willard

Mr.. Porter will not be the nominated. He il

Caleb p. johnson are both spoken or al
available candidates for the House.
In New Castle Hundred, II Is pretty gen
orally understood that Douglas NJ Mccoy
