Daily Republican. [volume] ([Wilmington, Del.]) 1874-1890, 1888-10-24

Politics Are in mixed up condItisn
down 10 Kent County, II what CORES,
pondents 10 some Of the city papers
write 10 correct. Nobody Indesd seemn
to be exactly straight in political har
nesa this year except the Republicans,
who Seem 10 be thoroughly united and
harmonious, and besides are prodtipR
largely from the Kilkenny fight TaaiuQ
between the factions OF the Democrats
party. The W0loott faction ig CHARGED
with arbitrarily violating old estab.
lished DemocrAtIo rules, thereby plac-
ing themselves beyond the pale oil the
Democratic party and not worthy OF
the support Of the other faction, in fact
rather than support the WoloOtt fac
tlon, the Republican ticket IL preferred.
TIE BaulsbuTy faction IA charged with
being boilers and k,ckeFs ARaibst what
the Woloott men call the regularly nomi.
mated Democratic ticket.
What makes the Hght between the
factions the more Interesting is the fact
that the factions numerloalfy were
nearly equal In numbers, but since the
Wolcolt faction got the upper hand and
nominated what they call q regular
Democratic ticket, there has bqen o
falling away from the Salisbury side,
for to many Democrats q DsmoofAtic
ticket has q wonderful charm no matter
how nominated. Bill there is enough
OF the Baulsbury faction left to defeat
the ticket, who will not bow the knee

aide Was pretty well assured, though II
