The following is the vote by hundreds
In East Dover Hundred.

Milford. ......... ...... ~ lO
| Democratic majority. 4d
In East Dover Hundred.
The heaviest fght in the county was
m ade in East Dsver hundred. which is
| the home Of Harry A. Richardson. The
| Republicans claimed the hundred by
from 300 to 400 majority. but their total
ma sjority In both preeints only footed up
to 2l3 Votes and 1t was one Of tha
heaviest blows they received.
A Democratic MagnAte.
The managers OF the Republican party
had all the money they needed. but the
Democrats went into the fgh. determined
to see fair-plsy and how they succaedOd
is shown by the slim majority the Repub.
licans received. The Republicans had as
heller George Vests man who lived of
of the Democratic pay for years as janitor
of the pest Office here. The Democratic Il
managers clai n that he sold out on sn
agreement with the Republicans that he /
was to be retained in Office for three /
: m, nths after Postmaster Satterfeld, the /
Republican appointee, took charge of the |
Office. The salary is $50 month. and for |
$3.50 they claim. he tried to defeat the |
party that had kept him for several |
years Be this as it may, he ably seconded |
the efforts Of John +. Salisbury TO de- |
feat the Democratic ticket in general and |
RobertJ. Reynolds in particular.

he became ready victim
to their intimidation, and howlisg like a
+ pack Of fends they rushed him up to the
D polls and compelled him to vote the
n ticket they gave him. They were in
9 such large numbers that it was useless to

,he A full vote was polled ia this hundrs
and the Republicans rsed money
every way imaginable. The Republican
bought the voters and as fast as the
