BY. Letter to EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN, Del, Aug. 3t.-The
Democratic county ticket was nominated
yesterday The great fractional fight is
over and yet the leaders are not agreed
as to who are the victors. The Sauls-
bury men went into the legislative
caucus with twenty-five mon. including
DR. Hugh Martin, one Of their men not
reaching town until the caucus had ad
iourned. "Ihe caucus was as harmo
nj as a class meeting and he follow
ing slate was agreed upon:
State Senator, Amos J Stayton OF Nan
ticoke. Members Of the House. William
G. Rust, Northwest Fork Everett Hick
man, Baltimore; William r. Records
Little Creek H. w Phillips. Broad Creek
William T. Boyce Georgetown; Willard
II, Handy, Seaford; John H. West, Gum
borough
But the SLATE was broken, and West
Records, Hickman and. the Salisbury out
side manipulators 'wore left They
were left because they lacked leaders in
the convention and because the friends Of
the different candidates were willing to
dicker in the interests of their men,
to break the SLATE was their offer to
vote for Charles b. Houston for State
Senator This proposition was made by
professed convention men, although Mr.
Houston has been a strong opponent of
constitutional reform. 1t is evident that
the Sussex politician cares more for
Offices than he does for reform in the
state government
The test vote between the factions in
the legislative convention was over the
chairman. Speaker w. r. McCabe was
elected over Senator Dorman by vote Of
% to H. William H. Boyce was elected
secretary by reclamation. That vote
gave the Saulsburys one less than they
| claimed and the next vote cut them down
one more. Amos j. Stayton Of Nanti-
| coke, who defeated ex-Sheriff Josiah p.
Marvel at the primaries ON Saturday,
was nominated state senator by twenty
one votes to thirteen for Charles b
Houston and five for Paynter Frame.
Mr.. Houston got but two Of the Sauls-
bury delegates, although others would
liked to have voted for him
The following Levy Court ticket was
then nOminated
Andrew j. Lord, Northwest Fork
Jesse I. Wells. Gumboro
Robert B. Workman, St. Georges.
Alfred r. White Lewes and Rehoboth
I Inhra III fF7ffcn4a italtfrq
Henry G. Matthews Broad Creek
w. j. Windsor. Little Creek
M S. Martin, Broadkiln
The only contest was IN Broadkiln,
where w. IT, Donovan was also nomi-
mated and defeated by q vote of TO to %.
Georgetown, Lewes and Rehob0th and
Broadlliln are not classed with 1.-THE
family Messrs Lord and White were
renominated.
AT this stage W. W. Morris l. j.
Wootten, James Wiley Charles w.
Whitley, Jr., Esq, and William Ross
were appointed committee to designate
the seven hundreds which should name
each a candidate for the lower House.
The committee waited until the sheriff
and coroner delegates had completed their
work, the candidates for those places
coming from Baltimore and GumborC
hundreds lessened the chances of the
Saulsburys for solid delegation
and threatened the slate The
Salisbury workers we're warned OF
this in time but replied lit makes ne
difference" The Salisbury men
should have united on Ward of Little
Creek. or Robinson of Broadkiln for
sheriff, and Bounds of Seaford, Collins OF
loves and Rehoboth, or Donovan OF
Cedar Creek for coroner then they could
have claimed solid delegation Their
opponents were wiser in this matter and
opened the way 10 break their ranks
Morris, Wootten and Wiley, majority OF
the apportionment committee, reported
in favor Of Little Creek, Dagsboro. Sea
ford, Northwest Fork, Georgetown
Broad Creek and Lewes ana Rehoboth.
Whitley of Ross made n minority report
differing from the majority by substi
tuting Cedar Creek for Dagsboro. John
w. Causey moved to amend the majority
by substituting Cedar Creek for Little
Creek, that hundred now having hold
ing over Senator John w Causey
Charles W. Whitley Jr. and d. Il
Marvel appealed to the convention
for fair play and for respect
for the rights Of the majority. DR.. Hugh
Martin was for peace and harmony. The
Saulsburys had not leader to match
, their opponents and lost again. Chairman
MeCabe appealed for the interests of Bal
timore hundred and for Colonel Everett
, Hickman, whom he represented, but i
awaited nothing. Mr. Causey's vote wal
adopted by 20 to 10; Dr. Hugh Martin
and William Gray voting for il and w
H. Boyce asking TO be excused. TIL
slate was broken.
The following ticket was then nomi
mated;
