Dover. August 5.-The attendance at
the Camden camp was, OF course, not
what IL was on Sunday, bat taking day
end evening together it reached nearly
600, neveetheless. DR.. Watson
preached in the morning. In the sitter
noon Bishop Taylor told of his
experience in Africa, and gave an inter
esting history of church work there,
to an audience of nearly 1000. An iu-
teresting holiness meeting followed In
the afternoon, at which several were
converted. In the evening a revival
meeting, well attended, was held and
again there were many at the altar
Out on the edge of the camp, as usual,
politics held sway, and Kent county
leaders were there in force.
At q meeting to be held to morrow

travelled, descended from the very heart
Of the rare old oaken pioneers who first
settled Delaware, he can trace back in his
| family the many men who have swayed
the destinies Of this little state In the
days Of her early history. The guberna-
| torial chair Of Delaware has held many
illHstrious men but 4. is safe to say that
1t would lose none of its dignity while
John q. Nichelson occupied 1t.
There Is no intimstion as yet that
Robert J. Reynolds even intends to hand
the gift over to any one else. Mid all
the buster that certainly does exist, he
pursuss the even tenor OF his way, and
many knowing ones will be surprised II
next Saturdays primaries do not
give him the majority of Kent'E
delegates. But 10 is In the
event of his desiring himself to abdi
cate on the day Of the convention, that
John \. Nicholson, Esq, is named with

material timber to select from.
