Among tho Kent and sussex He-
pnbucans.
Editor Gazette: Judge Fisher, the
representative and protector OF Delawares
accidental senator, is very busy man lust
now; afther flooding Kent and Sussex
counties with type-wrltten letters at the
government expense, In his offlee nc wash
ington, to certain gentlemen who had been
given office by the accidental to meet him,
Fisher, In Dover for the purpose OF iayinR
plans to capture the State convention Tor
the accidental and would-be boss. Inc
scheme is to nominate Joshua Marvil Tor
governor and defeat the will OF the Repuh-
licans OF Delaware. Fisher spent three
days in Dover trying to set up the pins fcr
his boss. 1t may be that this accidental
senator has secured an additional salary
for Fisher for this valuable work to the
government. Why not2 Bach has three
offices; why not Fisher have twor It is the
general opinion down her8 among the ne.
publicans that the least that this AGO.
dental firm OF Higgins d Fisher has to do
with tho politics OF Kent and Sussex. the
better It will be for the Republican party,
and, we, as Republicans, would advise the
accidental senator from Delaware to look
out for his own little craft In New CASTLE
county, for, IL he can keep her ailoat with
all OF that water soaked cargo OF Me, Bach
and Mahaffy, he will have oil that he is
competent to attend to. Has he not b item
of more than he Gan chewp
The idea of sending n man to Kent and
Sussex to set up delegates for the State
convention that has caused every decent
Republican In the two counties to hang his
head with shame Yot he is put forward by
this accidental senator for the purpose OF
disrupting the Re ublioans OF the two
lower counties. Not content with dis.
organizing the Republican party In New
Castle county by his egotism. with no
political sagacity, he seeks to break the
harmony of the Republicans in tho two
lower counties by the aid OF o man who has
dlsgraced the Republicans of Delaware by
his debauehery IN office and nonresident
OF Delaware. Not many years ago, when
Mr.. Smithers was asked to recommend this
representative OF Delaware's accidental,
he, Smithers, sait 81 will not; cannot
consistently recommend him tor any place,
for the simple reason that do not think
him fit man." Yet the poor old fossil,
walls his eyes and locks wise and says: ut
Is just as desired; would not have 1t
otherwise II could and Mocrsy shall vote
for you, Tony" Aud withal, the Efforts Of
the accidental and his bosom friend,
Fisher, to destroy the harmony aud good
feeling among Republicans OF Kent and
Sussex will fall, and Higgins q Co., will
learn lesson rot to NEEDLE with other
peoples business.
We have no faction down here; wo are
| all Republicans and will stand together
for the success Of the @. o. p. On
that we are a unit and all the efforts
| OF the accidental senator and the ex-
| Washington district attorney will fail to
change that feeling, and good results m y
be looked for. But President Harrison had
better call of his egg-suckers; II he has
| no other employment for them he had bet
glad to be of the opinion that men have
been recommended by this accidental sen
ator and appointed from this State by the
President who, had the President known as
much about them US he knows now, would
never have been appointed. REPUBLICAN,.
