The GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Men Spoken Of for the speakership OF
ERcn House


as the time draws near for the General
Assembly of Delaware to meet, specula-
tion is rife rs to what its organization
will be. Speculation, however, does not
organize the General Assembly and the
fact that the Democrats only have one
majority in the Senate viii make It diff.
cult to surmise just who will be accept
able to the entire membership of the
Democratic senatorial caucus.
Kent aud Sussex counties seem to be
claiming everything, and knowing ones
say that New Castle county will End
little or no consideration in the organiza.
ton. as ,he senators and representatives
are Republican, John p. Donahoe being
the only Democrat from New Castle
county in the Legislature, and he is a
hold-over senator
Ex-Governor John w hall, who has
been mentioned as an acceptable caucus
candidate for speaker Of the senate has,
it Is said, expressed a dlsinclinadon to
accept the position. With ex Governor
Hall removed, the next best available
candidate is Congressman James WI.
liams Of Duck Greek hundred. He Is a
man Of large experience, having served
this state with credit in the lower House
Of Congress His health Is very poor
and he IS 10th TO accept an Office which
requires constant attendance and has
much responsibility attached TO 1t. If he
will accept the place, however, there Is
little doubt that he could poll the full
vote of the Democratic caucus.
Either Of these two members would
make good presiding officers, they
have had much experience and are the
senior members. The Sussex Senators
are not prominently mentioned in this
connection.
For the Speakership Of the House OF
Representatives the Democrats are in
qusndary. They have no man who has
served in the Legislature before. The
two names mentioned in this connection
are those of Representative Morris Of
Lewes and Rehoboth hundred, Sussex
county, and Daniel NJ. Ridgely OF East
Dover hundred, Kent county. 1t is
claimed by the friends of Mr.. Ridgely
that he will be the caucus nominee. If
the Sussex county members are firm for
their man there will have to be a com

speaker, Sussex will get the clerk, and II

grasp the prize that is so lucrative
The candidates for the clerFships are
numerous and 1t would be folly to pre-
dict the selection OF any one man, but the
election of speakers will certainly greatly

respective houses.
