DOVER, August 9.-Tho outlook for
the Democratic party in Kent county.
| this morning, on the very eve of the
primaries that are TO shape Kent's action
] in next Tuesdays convention, is brighter
and batter in every way, than i has
/ been for at least four years.
The contention and bitterness that
ragged in every hundred on faetional lines
have, during the past week, given way
to desire to compromise differ
ences that augurs well for the
success of the county in convention
next Tuesday. AS far as can be learned,
this morning there will be sontests la
but two hundreds-East Dover and Mil
FORD, with perhaps q little furry in the
eastern end of South Murderkill that
may affect two of the four delegates
there to be elected, and send that dele
CATION up here, six for Mr.. Reynolds and
two against him, instead Of a solid
eight for him. This, however, will not
deprive him of majority of the dele
gates to be elected in Kent this after
noon. Without man from Milford or
East Dover, losing four each in Duck
Ureek and MisPillion and one in Little
Greek, he will tonight, when the polls
close, have thirty-six delegates pledged
TO aim out Of the sixty-one, and the
twenty-five opposed will be scattered
between Messrs. Williams, Pennewill
and Black.
East Dover's two tickets are. I'm

he needs them, otherwise williams on
first ballot Milford, seven anpledgad
perhaps favoring Mr. Pennewill.
This Is the size of affairs this morning
and will pretty nearly hit the verdict to
night.
Again predict that II for any cause
Robert J. Reynolds decides to withdraw
from the contest on Tuesday, his strength
will go as a solid block to Daniel M
hidgely and East Dover and Milford will
60 solid with them, giving him At Least
fifty of hent's delegation. This senti
ment Is growing, as Daniel NJ. is mar
that Kent county Democrats can unit,
on solidly.
