puGllISM.

New York, March 9.-The Tele-
grams special cable this evening,
dated Amiens, says that the Sulli-
van-Mitchell fight has been post
poned until Monday. The men and
their hackers met this afternoon to
agree upon stakeholder. 1t was
mt once seen then that here was
where Mitchell had made up his
mind not to fight.
Name after name was presented
by the Sullivan party to Mitchell's
friends as fit for refree. but none of
them was suitable. The men whom
the Mitchell people presented for
refree were those of such thorough
ly unprincipled men, unfair in their
methods and several friends of the
Englishmen, that Sullivan finally
got tired and said, savagely, "Give
us any respectable man and we will
accept him."
The other side would do nothing,
and the meeting came TO an inglo-
rious end. There. were but small
matters which the mems hackers
had to talk over, but it was impossi-
bic to get the Mitchell people to
agree TO anything.

A gentleman who travels constantly
on the Delaware railroad. told a re-
porter Of the Eceaing Journal that
Chairman Williamson Of the Kent
Democratic Committee says that it is
all nonsense to talk about unseatin0
A. B. Richardson. Had Mr.. Cleve-
land been elected" said Williamson.
"and the United States Senate been
Democratic then he would have under
taken it but as it is there Is no use"
This opinion was concurred in bv a
number of Dover Democrats of the
WOlcOtt faction.
The same gentleman said that the
Republicans were 6 too previons" when
they claimed that a Republican would
be elected State treasurer. The law.
he says, provides that the state treas
urers shall be elected by the house and
his choice cOncurred in by the Senate.
OF course the senate would not concur
in the election of a Republican. al

Much talk is being indulged in about
the probable organization of the Gen
Assembly at Dover, next winter. The
Senate organization that is most con-
fidently predicted is DIR. Lewis for
speaker and Frank NJ. Dunn of Dover
for clerk. Will G. Kerbin of Dover is
also a candidate for the clerkship.
Another combination talked of is Sen
ater Ferguson of this county for speak
er and John D. Hawkins of Kent
county for clerk.
With regard to the House organiza-
ton, John II. Hoffecker, of Smyrna. is
is prominently urged for the speaker
ship, and his selection is more than
probable. McKendree Downham of
Georgetown, is also spoken of. H.

The Young Peoples Maefinr

The service of song of the Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor'
which meets in the lecture room of the
Nj. b. Church the hour previous to the
regular church service, filed a
larger place on Sunday even
ing than was originally mapped
out. Rev. Mr.. Robinson was SUFFERING
with an annoying cough and throat
trouble, and at the suggestion of others
the services of the young people was
substituted for the usual worship. the
announcement being made through the
Sunday-schoOl and how well. was
evinced by the large congregation there
at the early hour In addition to the
usual chOrusses selected for their emo
tional and spiritual life, there were
quartetts, duets, solos, including that of
cornet. The hour devoted to music
and inspiring song would be hard at
any time to excel. The meeting closed
with an earnest spiritual address bv
the pastor, and a brief season given to
Individual testimonies. Such n meet.
ing every month or six weeks would
doubtless meet with popular favor.

THERE is a noticeable calmness in
the Democratic press in getting down
to, and accepting the result of the cleo
tion in placing Benz. Harrison in the
Presidential chair. They are disap-
pointed of course, sorely disappointed,
that President Cleveland was not re-
elected, but this very noticeable trait
is manifest that no harsh expressions
are used towards Mr.. Harrison. They
did not want any of the party, but if
fate decided that it should be a Repub-
lican, we believe there is more satisfac-
ton in having Mr.. Harrison than anv
one that could be named. In fact since
the day he was nominated he has been
growing in favor with all parties as a
safe, able, sagacious man.

1T is a strange voice that comes from
the Inder,-a wall at the first applica-
ton Of the despotio Assessors and Col
lectOrs rule that for so many years has
dominated our State. No Republican
paper ever put up a more bitter cry
than the following:
The elections in East Dover and
North Murderkill especially were a
farce and fraud. Bogus tax receipts
were furnished the combine in unlimit-
ed quantities. Delinquents and nom
residents were voted regardless of all
protests by Democrats. Men who had
not paid tax in 10years were brought
up and voted by the Salisbury combine
IN open defiance of law and the protest
OF Democrats. The judges, clerk, tax
collectors and eX-cOllectOrs Openlv
worked and used their influence in be-
half Of the combine"
1t was the editors OK getting gored
this time. Before it was the other fell
lows OK, and he didn't feel it. We
sympathize with both the sufferers. and
Gay Such Uhlng should not be possible.
But while WOlcott was thus being
gored in the hundreds above named.
salisbury and the Republicans were
being as severely gored in Kenton

stated who wanted to support the COM
Dined ticket were refused the highest
privilege of citizenship-the right of

merit of being written on coffee stained

with strong political bias to learn the

IHE Legislature when it meets will
have the selection of a U. S. Senator
who will represent the State in the Ma
tonal Capitol for six years, and being
Republican on joint ballot. will of
course select from this party. The
selection will not be without consider
able talk and canvassing among the
members OF the party. The name that
stands most prominent for ability at
the bar and the mental Qualities of
+ winch statesmen are made, is that of the
hon. N. B. Smithers. He was with
the party in its infancy, rocked it in its
cradle, presented it for suffrage when
70 DO so made him target for brick
Dats and spoiled eggs, and has been its

would be in harmony witd the reputa-
tion Of the State for always having
men OF ability in the councils of the
nation. 1t would thus appear that Mr.

the only thing in the way is Mr.
smlthers himself. He feels that at
