DOVER. Del, Sept. 1.-THE editorial
in the Index Of yesterday, regarding the
dying out Of the estranged and unpleas-
ant feelings engendered prior to the late
primaries, seems to have had an effect
here directly contrary to that intended
by it's writer In circus parlance, it has
stirred the animals up. The blankety-
blank blanks can be heard on every side.
In a tour up Loockerman street last even
ing, the representative Of the JoRUNAL
was halted by over a score of men, and
the sentiment expressed by each was the
same. Its the d--dest checklist, as
well as the weakest, attempt to use the
political whip we ever saw
1T amt the feeling engendered pre-
vious to the late primaries that's doing
the work, remarked a man who has for
years been high in the councils of not
only the county, but the state Democracy
as well "but its the feeling engendered
by the outrage perpetrated at the county
convention, that is not only stirring the
opposition up, but worrying the men
who perpetrated it as well. Victory OBJ
tanned NJ the cost Of principles can bear
no good fruit, but will turn to
ashes, etc. says Mr.. Wolcott in
his editorial, and he never
wrote a truer sentence, and no man or no
set Of men can testify Of it better than
he and his followers Did they not, at
the cost Of every principle the Democracy
Of Kent county hold dear, obtain legis-
lative and Levy Court ticket as well as a
county committee at the late conyention2
And is il not turning to ashes, as they
term it'll Of course it is; but the ashes
are not all turned up yet. You wait till
the sixth Of November next and you'll
see them climbing out from under pile
Of these ashes; wondering what in the
thunder struck them.
III the i'll feeling is dying out, as the
Dover Index states in that editorial, which
reads as though it had been written for n
Mispillion Sunday School address, and
then changed to political homily, con
tinued the irate gentleman, "what is the
reason that Fennimore, the candidate for
sheriff, has trice sent in word to the head
quarters here that something must be
done or wen lose the county y
why, you're not going to slaughter
Fennimore too are you" queried the
EVENING JOURNAL representative "He
was nominated square enough, WASH t
her"
We'll. under ordinary circumstances,
Fennimore would be all right, replied
he, but the fraud in the other part Of
the ticket vtiates the whole. and they've
all got to go down together
ITS the d-dest, checklist thing I've
read for some time, remarked Demo
cratic ex-office holder, whose large farm
lies down VIII ere the MurderlSill gently
flows, FOR the Index crowd to be preach
ing to the Democrats Of Kent county
about supporting the ticket as made,
no matter now it was made.
Why look at DR. Lewis's action when
he bolted the caucus that nominated Ell
Salisbury Look at the admitted cutting
Of the ticket two years ago of the very
men who are cunning tho Index No, il
is very lame attempt on the part Of the
crowd who, in their insane greed out
ragged us, to make believe we are going tC
stand it, Why | understand that one Of
the leaders of that side said our
people are coming over to then
in fiock5 Now, Il tell you what I'll do
iii just bet $780, solid peach money. that
they can't name one hundred out Of TIL,
fifteen hundred Democratic voters whom
they 50 grossly outraged and insulted
who are craven enough to come and lich
the boots that kicked them. They car
talk all they please and whistle to keeE
their courage up. but the /, 500 outraged
Democrats OF Kent county will teach
them that set Of Polly McKnatts. young
lodgings from other states. cannot
trample upon their rights with inn
punity.
IF the feeling is dying out how is
IL that messages are continually being
sent in here begging that something be
done. No sir, wherever YOU 70 ia all
parts of the county, the feeling is the
same, and prominent Democrats are
everywhere pledging themselves to vote
and work against the ticket. Within ten
days you'll have meetings to report in all
parts Of this county, and you'll see that
the outraged Democracy win organize to
rebulxe these men, who dressed with q
little brief authority sought TO sweep all
our time honored customs aside They
said openly in the convention they didn't
want us They told our delegates that
they would be better off without them
and the man that elected them, they
said they'd rather have us against them
than with them, and by the Eternal wen
take them at their word
BY the way, speakingof meetings, next
Thursday night is the regular meeting
night of the East Dover Hundred Demo
cratic Club There will be a meeting
held-it has been allowed to 60 by default
for the past few weeks-but the meeting
next Thursday night will be one that will
be memorable in the annals Of the Kent
county Democracy.
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.
