THE sAULsBURYs VICTORY
II win in all Probability Give Them the
County Votes.

The victory Of the Salisbury in the
Kent county committee on Saturday
means a great deal more than it appears
upon the face. Two years ago Robert
and j Frank Denny were either indiifer
ent or opposed to the Saulsburys, and as a
result Duck Creek hundred was lost by a
few votes This gave the County Con
vention to nominate Legislative candi-
dates, to the anti Salisbury faction by
two majority With the Denneys with
them Duck Creek hundred will be safely
with the Saulsburys
The friends Of the family claim with
confidence since the meeting of the com
mittee. the hundreds of Duck Creek, Lit
lie Creek, East Dover North Murderkill
Milford and Mispillion. This will give
them good working majority in the con
vention and such a one as will insure
light votes for Hon. Eli Salisbury. Con
sidering the bitterness Of the contest,
there is every reason to believe that the
unit rule win be applied.
