intention to build a new office and to devote
himself to the practice Of law is made upon ap-
parently good authority. 1t is also said by

permanently from political life. This is not to
be understood that he is not interested in poll
tics and in the station Of private individual
do what he can for the success of his party, but
that he retires from active leadership and will
not be candidate for office. Following this
statement it may not be out Of place to say that

knowledge OF the present condition of Delaware
politics. The originator of the scheme WAS a
visitor to the camp of the Delaware militia and
possibly had the matter suggested to him at
that time by some boon companion. 1t GER
tainly had no more serious origin.
