State League of Republican Clubs at Dover
| last Friday was essentially a gathering OF
\ the young Republican element or the state. |
The old stagers were conspicuous by thelr
absence with the exception OF the Rev. j.
o. Willis, who was on deck as rudy,
unctlous and ready to Offer prayer or make
epolitical harangue as ever. Ben watson
gave the affair but little attention while
Editor Henry W. Cannon and james PEN
newill, Esq, who were delegates, found |
the attractions OF base.oall game more
powerful and left the convention before the |
proceedings were fairly under way. Con-
sui Horace Greeley Knowles was flying
around with new sils hat and an official |
air and after being satisfied that his adj
torial antagonis- of the Morning NetDs was
not lying in wait 10 curl his half or dust
Dover's streets with his immaculate spring
suit, became the happiest young man in
the town. He beamed upon everyhodyand
received many hearty congratulations upon
bis good luck.
The convention did not meet until after
O'clock, p. M, and meanwhile the dele.
gates wandered around trying TO Imagine
that the convention was big thing, re-
curing the keenest political manipulation.
Feeble attempts were made TO hold district
caucuses, but only the Fourth district
<Sussex county, succeeded in having for
NAL consultation OF delegates. IL was
vaguely desired by some OF the leaders 20
agree upon plan OF action by which the
convention should be run, but the attempt
was finally abandoned and the convention
left to run itself.
The convention was called to order at
$50 O'Clock In the court house hall, by tho
courtly and urbane president OF the league,
DR.. George W. Marshall OF Milford. Prayer
was offered by the Rev. j. s. Willis, aud
then DR.. Marshall told how the league Rad
grown, there being II clubs IN the First
district, 10 thu Second, 10 10 thu Thiri
rho EOnrTfI Total of 81. being
more than an average Of one club Tor each
hundred In the State and ward in the city
OF Wilmington.
The opening proceedings were marked
by a spat between Henry O. Conrad, ESD,
and j. Frank Bacon, NIT. Charles H. Treats
Sussex lieutenant. Mr.. Conrad moved for
committee on credentials and Mr. Bacon
asked to have the list Of clubs first called.
Neither would give way, and there was n
tedious discussion over this trihlng point
OF difference. Finally, the convention
obliged both contentious gentlemen by
calling the list OF clubs and then appoint
Ing the committee on credentials, gs fol-
lows: First district, Fred T.. Bach; Second,
b. Il. Choate; Third, George NJ. Jones;
Fourth, Joseph d. Truxton. This commit.
