state. Governor Biggs would wreck
Delaware College or anything else in
order to succeed Senator SALISBURY
next winter. The great trouble now
resting upon the Salisbury family is
not the onslaught by Smyrna Record
and the Dover Ende1, but it is Gov

How ONE SIDE STATES THE ISSUE.
The "true inwardness" of the fight
between the Smyrna Record and the
Dover hader on the one side and the
DetdUGreGn on the other which to the
general public is q personal one, has a
meaning which is deeper, as thus ex-
planned in the letter signed a Law
Student" of Dover to a Wilmington
paper:
In this county there are some twelve
law students and "Uncle Eli" could
not get the support, under any circum-
stances, but of one. He is Ofthat name
and with them that is the password.
l am acquainted with more young men
of the two counties than the author of
that article, and I say openly that they
are for a young man as their leader
and not one of the age of Uncle Eli,
nor one of the name of Saulsbury-we
have had enough. When DIR. Sauls-
bury was living we were Salisbury
men, but we cannot vote dead memo
ries, nor will we be lead by people
such as present themselves by that
name. Their leader has expired and
their power is slowly, but surely dwin-
ding from them. This is plain when
they resort to such methods as have
been proven that they did last fall
They want a young representative
man, and no. one who works and la
bOrs for family alone. That they are
becoming alarmed is plainly seen or
every hand. They will resort to any
means to carry out their desires anC
wishes, and, though they have for the
last few years pulled the mask ovel
| Democrats, yet now we have lifted the
veil and disclosed the sanctum sancto-
rum, and now we intend to rend The
power from them. OF course som,
few old stagers will hang on, but the
young Democracy, men who act anC
think for themselves, cannot and will
not be classed with them. Look a
the defences they make to charges
against them. They dare not face the
truth and deny the assertion, but us
wind-their best weapon. You haC
an article signed Granger" denying
that that class ofpeople were agains
Mr.. Wolcott. Thus you see the ute
nonsense in the article of the 5th in
stant. If he thinks the young men ar,
in favor of Uncle Eli, let him ask then
and let him wait till the next prima
ries and then he will see that this count.
will send a delegation for James l
WOlcott. because we think he is tn
man, as he represents our ideas an
takes an interest in the welfare {
young men.
