OF course no one supposes that the fact
that the Legislature Of Delaware elected
last week Tuesday will have a republican
majority, indicates majority OF repuo-
lican voters in that State. The resL.t was
due to quarrel between dem ocratic fac
tions, Two families have hitherto con
trolied the politics of the State. Since the
year $50 the Saulsburys have had COM
plete control Of counties Kent and Sussex,
while the Bayards ruled New Castle cOun-
which the Bayards were to have the Uni
ted States senator in New Castle while
the Saulsburys were to run the rest of the
State That plan was carried out and
ever since Kent and Sussex have ruled
New Castle with an iron hand. Owing to
individual jealouses and disappointments
the alliance between the Kent and SUSSEX
counties democrats became broken this
year, and coalition with the republicans
carried one of them, while by adroit man
| agement New Castle coTnty was made tC
contribute quota o. republican represen

result will be the retirement of Mr.. Bay

The Voice, the organ of the political pro
hibitionists, boasts That the candidates OF
party have received an aggregate vote
of from 300 ,0uO to $4,000, and claims that
the result OF The election was more Of
victory tor the probibitionists than for the
republicans. Before the election the third
party leaders pro essed to be sure
! OUO000 votes, which would eifectuellt
destroy the republican party and pave the
way for a grand third party victory in 1892
drop OF 100000 votes is something OF
tail and the official count is likely TO
show a considerably greater decrease from
the estimate. The returns ia our own
st tie show a total third party vote of 1920
against 1852 in 1854, a decrease of over 400

equally harmless. In New York, however,

Presidential campaigns come high. In
1854 It Is said that eaC side spent about
$500, 600. The campaign of 1855, it is said,
cost each side more that double that
amount. The republicans sent out 80, 900,
600 copies OF seventy-one documents a. Il
cost of $3.50 600 while the democrats issued
100000 copies Of about forty-eight docu
mcnts at a cost of more than 800, 900
The services of campaign orators and their
expenses Of course absorbed great deal
of money, and heavy sums were no doubt
