The reason of this was that early in the
evening the Wolcott men determined to
force their favorite upon the minority.
but the latter evinced a disposition to
kick and it was case of "you dare not

reached and the case was left over until
this morning. The Salisbury men were
perfectly willing to do one or two things,
either vote blank or vote for Mr.. Bayard.
On the other hand they positively de-

Treats great fight has won laurels for
him. That he for the first time in Della
ware politics could make such a good
showing is a remarkable thing. It is his
first campaign and he has shown up as
shrewd leader. He takes his defeat with
most excellent grace and has nothing
hard to say of anybody.
Mr. Addicks left on the z 06 train this
morning While here he won friends by
his gentlemanly manner, and if he comes
here again with some meritorious
scheme there is no doubt of his securing
recognition.

Representative Eckles gave notice in

providing for call for constitutional

dis bill will be ready by Wednesday or
Thursday and it is said to be very fair

The Wettest Year.

Eighteen hundred and eighty-nine
will go down into history as the wet
year In the memory of the oldest
inhabitants as much rain has not
fallen in any year of their lives as has
up to present writing. Indeed, two
clear days together Is a rare sight.
Dull, cloudy, rainy days has been the
general rule since last January 1st.
The agricultural classes have been
set back in their operations Corn
was planted between showers: the
wheat harvest was made under like
meteorological conditions; the wheat
seeding was uniformly the same,
and now corn gathering and husking
are delayed by the same kind of
weather. Truly, our friends, the
farmers, will long remember the
year of 1889.
