Spec iaI Correspondence EVENING JoURNA1-
DOVER, May When the EVENING
JOURNAL correspondent opened the
screen door Of General r. r. Kenney'
suit of handsome offices last night he at
FIRST imagined that the general was re-
hearsing the part of Richard the Third,
and was doing the tempest" scene. He
stood ia the midcle of the floor with a
pa per in one hard while the other
described Ialgebraical signs in the
air in the meantime he was rolling ont
a lot Of words that the EVENING jour
MAI, correspondent never found IN his
Sunday school catechism. The paper the
general held IN his hand was the Phila
delphia Times Of last Sunday and the
cause Of all the commotion was con-
tanned in the Wilmington correspondence
of that paper The para
graph in effect quotes Gen
eral Kenney as saying in an inter
view that the Republicans We're sure to
carry Kent county. The occasion on
which the general should have made the
assertion, according TO the interview, was
last week while hunting a place for the
next annual encampment. Some one
said to him: where will you encamp
next year2 And, according TO the corres-
pondent. the General replied. a shall have
nothing to say about it then, you Repub
Leans can fix that.
The last half Of this sentence was
tackled on by the correspondent or some
one else. What the general did say and
mean was that a change Of governors not
from Democrat to Republican, but from
Democrat to Democrat, would relieve
him Of his command.
AS for predicting Democratic defeat,
there is not more sanguine man in Della
ware as far as .he Democratic outlook is
concerned than General r r. Kenney.
He is Democrat all over and all through.
He Is oae of those who believes that
every Democrat in the state will vote
the ticket next fall, no matter who is on
Il. And you can bet you'll find him on
the stump, advocating the ticket made
ont ia convention. That he should be
thus rmisquoted has made him sort OF
affidavit mad
Court didn't do much yesterday be-
sides putting in the time. Hezekiah
Viekery was arraigned and plead not
guilty to the charge of numbering
Fighting Tom Smith, last Christmas,

Watson defended II.
Waitman Powell plead guilty to as
sault, and was fined 81 and costs. Georg,
Massey, colored, disgraced an honorable

The case of Philip Banks. whose ex-
perience was related in yesterday EVEN
ING JOURNAL was nolle pressed
The case of Simon Shultz, indicted fol
larceny was on trial when court ad-
| iourned. Manlove Honey, who was CON
neeted with the Hartley cutting affair
ia which Lode Honey made record, lef
town for an indefinite stay Tuesday
night. On Monday, the grand jury foun,
a true bill against Manlove, and his tria
/ was set down for Yesterday. On Tuesda,
his bondsmen had him il
court and Manlove listened t
the indictment against him. He evi
IDENTIFY didn't like il, for he very uncon
sciously left both the court room and th
town. Now the question is being agita
ted as TO who irresponsible The attor
ney general will hold the bondsman, bu
the latter claims that he delivered Hone
in court, and hence is not responsible.
Ii looks now as though the libel case
| would not be tried this court.
