FROM OUR EXCHANGES.

The Legislative ticket nominated in
Sussex on Thursday, is composed of
8 Family and 3 anti-Family men.
They favor a Sussex County man for
Senator, but the anti-Family men
will support Wolcott when the time
comes. This will insure Wolcott's
election, even if he does not get any
members from New Castle.-SentineJ.
The defeat of I. n. Fooks at the pri-
maries at Georgetown on Saturday
week has doomed DR.. Edward Fowler's
chances for the Office of insurance COM
missioner, which shortly becomes va
cant. The doctor carried Little Creek
in Sussex by a large majority and it
was looked upon as a WOlcott hundred.
J. Turpin Moore, the Martins and near
ly all the leaders in Western Sussex
are backing the doctor.
Mr.. Wolcott starts in his Senatorial
race with the votes of five holding ovel
Senators, and the eight Legislative
nominees in this county, gives him
thirteen votes to begin with only
three short of enough to secure his
election. These he has in Sussex
with two and possibly more in addi
ton, which he will secure in New Cas-
tie next Saturday.-DOUer SedtineI.
The action of the State convention
in embodying in its declaration o
| principles a strong recommendation
for constitutional reform is exceedingl,
timely. The question without doub
will enter largely into the coming
campaign, and the Democratic part,
cannot afford to ignore it. With
majority of the voters of this State o.
record in favor of the much-needed re
form in our constitution it would b
suicidal to place men on the ticke
who are not outspoken and pre-
nounced on this great questiOn.-DOUe
