offended the league, for the purpose of dam

What the Republican House win Have

to Provide For.
Almost Immediately after 1t was pretty
well known that the Republicans had
elected their legislative tickets in Kent
and Sussex counties and that the Re
publieans would have a majority Of two
on joint ballot. politicians commenced to
talk about the positions in the Gift 81 the
Legislature. The body elects a United
States Senator to succeed Senator
Eli Salisbury, a state treasurer to sue
coed William Herbert, a state auditor to
succeed James II. Boyce, a speaker Of the
House, clerk of the House, reading clerk.
sergeant at arms, clerk of Divorce Com.
mittee and fireman of the state house.
The latter officer is selected by the two
sergeant alarms. The state treasurers
office is worth SO, 000a year, the auditors.
81 900; clerk of the House, 50. 500; read
ing clerk, $500; sergeant at arms.
Sou clerk Of committee, $3.50, fireman
$500. The contest has not yet settled to
that degree of calmness which permits
one to speculate on the candidates for the
various positions. Nevertheless. yester-
day afternoon in conversation with some
gentlemen, the name of Horace q.
movies was mentioned as that of next
clerk Of the House, and pretty general
consensus of opinion showed that he was
a popular candidate. One Of the gentle
men present said There is no Young
man who deserves it more than he does
He has fought for years for Republican
victory in Sussex county and has always
been foremost in movements in that
county looking to Republican success.
Mr. Knowles upon being seen said: II
