State Politics.
Cor respondence OF the Republican.
DOVER, DEL, Aug. 25.-Every move
ment made at the upper ind OF the State
10 the political line starts the regulars
down here, and the little Democratic con-
claves of each faction take up the move
mem, no matter what It's character, and
slit It, then hand out 10 the rank and file
of their respective followers their orders
concerning it. The cell is'u In H.
SEsse s.Iiss J; Y. n S:ss ;.!;s !sSs;a i;ed
seething, and there has teen no let up
yet. One In all, without regard TO fac
tional shading, the Bour' ons here have
come 10 the conclusion that 1t is "a Re
publican scheme" and hence the heelers
have been warned 10 steer clear Of 1t.
This was to be expected. The title of
the organization was enough to kill 1t as
far as the Democrats o this section were
C, ncerned. TAX Reform" why, by
1eorge, or b'Goeh, rather, ior the latter
Is the Kent County Democratic exple-
tive; the very thing the Democracy OF
Delaware has been fighting against ever
since Tom BByard Matched oui his dis
franchising scheme Of 1871, is tax reform.
Reform In the collection oftaxes, espe-
cially ro!l taxes, means, Democratic sui
ci,le every tins, snd although the party
Is and has been suiciding for some time,
tax reform Is t6o clean Weapon for
them to commit hari kari with. SO you
can set IL down in advance that there will
be no "tax reform" business In theirs.
The party Ia going to the doksi that the
most radical leaders admit, snl noth'ng
but defeat s'ares thtm In tlie face look
which way they will, but they are deter
IN ned to die like Delaware Democrats
opposed to all progression and reforms OF
aDy sort whatever.
They know defeat Is their assured por-
tion because the motto "divid d we fall"
applies In their case with plainness that
even small boy can read, and that divi-
ded they must rena'n, is as plain to all
OF them. Every effort imat able has
been made, and is being made by the
more conservative leaders TO bring the
warning factions togeth'r, but these all
have been and will ccniinue to be abor-
tive. =
The Bayard boom was . sample. The
chevalier was trotted out by the VIII
minston clique for inspection, but the
MossbackeIs OF Kent AID Sussex put q
veto on him SO quickly and emplthically
that his friends were glad to get him out
stelved. You can just wager your eK.

final cold shoulder and eaited the offlcss

the probabilities are that the ex-senator

In addition to the two out and outel

other faction-a sort Of high-bred affair
without a1y pare ntage or prestige, made
up OF the kid-gloved, swallow-ta.led and

purchased q gross OF hyperdorm.c syriDges

the old man is hardly In condition to trot
out now. The argument is used that he
has the bcodle, and as the next cam paign

is % big point In his favor, ard 1t Is true,
old Jim Is well fixed financially.

SO do great many others. Causey
SEEMS to have the Pull now on the
"county rotation line, for Its sussex's
turn.
In the meantime the Republicans OF
Kent and ssex are not asleep. II the
candidate for governor is to come from
Kent, there will be no lack of material
In the Republican fold. The workers,
! the men WHO carried Kent for the Re.
publican party In 1888, are talking up
young Harry A. Richardson, the Sena'
tors son, one OF the brightest and most
level-headcd business men In tee StAte.
If Harry can be induced to enter the
| fight be will make inroads iu Kent's
Democracy, for no man In this county,
| Republican or Democratic, is more popu-
lar with the MASSES than he. With o
| business and sociai record that very few
men possess, an es:u,cheon without a
blot, he would make formidable cham
pion, and the nervousness shown by the
local Democratic leaders when his prob
able candidacy is discussed Is proof of his
weight.
