Georgetown, Del, August 2s.-"I Have
you seen anything of Barney Salisbury
down here, was one Of the first questions
by a Wolcott lieutenant who came down
yesterday afternoon from Dover TO look
after Sussex. They have downed John
Fletcher in Kent, and yet they fear a
wounded general SO able as Barney is.
'Win YOU apply the unit rule IN
Kcntg "Most likely not, though the
Saulsburys fought the issue with the
understanding that the victors should
take all Il may not prove necessary to
do So. Uncle Eli carried Duck Creek,
East Dover aud Milford. The first named
has state senator and cannot expect
more In East Dover one Of the dele
gates is a Wolcott man, being on both
tickets, and he may have a candidate on
which the other delegates cannot agree,
and in that event the county convention
would have to decide If the Senator
should be taken from Milford hundred,
he would not be Salisbury man Such
an arrangement would shut out Uncle
Eli entirely without applying the unit
RUE. 40 YOU Ntt4 we saw
In Georgetown hundred on Saturday,
while a part of both tickets VAS elected,
the leader of each faction got left Isaac
1 NJ Fooks, for the county convention, and
Ex-Governor Charles c. Stockley, for the
state convention, were each defeated by
two votes. The defeat is so much more
bitter because it was by such small ma.
! iority.
A prominent Salisbury man said yes
/ terday that the fight now against Uncle
/ Eli does not mean Wolcott, but Thomas
! L. Bayard Charlie" f. McFee made the
declaration that none Of the men now
mentioned for senatorial honors are fit foi
it. How would Charlie do in Charlie s.
opinion? He fills Mr.. Gray's seat in the
/ absence Of that gentleman from the Sen
ate chamber, and possibly thinks he coulC
| fiji Uncle Ellis chair. Maybe, for he looks
as though he We're growing.
In Sussex county the Saulshurys have
majority upon the surface, but gen
tleman, with his hands in his pocket
said this morning Surface majoritiei
can be changed. We do not believe that
but there is talk now Of Offering q resO
luton in the county convention favorinl
a Sussex man. That would catch SOM
of the Salisbury delegates and it nigh
organize the convention. Two years ag
the county was lost to Lore after hi
friends thought they had carried it,
There are two county conventions on
nominating sheriff and coroner and tn
other the legislative branch and lev
courtmen. Each Of the thirteen hun
dreds in the county has three men in eac
J convention or section. After the ticke
is nominated the two meet and elect tn
! county central committee.
The anti-Saulsburys on Saturday cal
ried Cedar Creek, Lewes and Rehobotf
D Broad Kiln and Indian River
The Saulsburys carried Dagsboro, Gun
boro, Little Creek, Broad Creek, Nant
r coke, Baltimore, and they claim Nortl
west Fork.

There is nothing definite as to u
sheriff and coroner each candidate seem
to have his own delegation and there wi
be a scramble with considerable trading
