Our Dover Letter.
Correspondence of the REpuat1cAy.

nefariou5 schemes of Democrats to
divert attention from State and other
important issues, by the Introduction
OF personalities instead of principles,
posing as "Grangers" and "Farmers'
Alliance men," and appreciating tho
fact that the defeat of the Republican
ticket in Kent county at last election
was In q great measure, II not alto
gether, to be attributed to the supine
manner In which tho then self-consti-
tuted leaders of the Republican party
in Kent county depended for victory
on promises made by .-dlsgruntled"
politicians who had no desire for Re-
publican success. the Republicans of
Last and West Dover hundred have re-
solved to commence the campaign OF
1899 with patient thought, honest pur-
pose and persevering industry, rely
ing solely on native breeches and ma
tive helps" for victory.
Tho State Capital Republican Club
has been re-organized and it Is the be-
lief OF the writer that tho "Still Hunt"
and MacTaber system heretofore in
vogue will be abandoned.
The Young Mems Republican Club,
as stated in my last letter, will hold
an election of officers on Wednesday
evening, the Both inst, at which DR.. &.
W. Marshal president OF the league of
clubs Of the State, and Hugh G. Brown.
Esq, secretary of the league will be
present. And to this meeting of the
Young Mems Republican Club, the
members OF the state Capital Club
have been invited and 1t is expected
that one and all will he made integral
parts of our State League.
From this it is evident that the writer
of the letter from Wilmington, which
| appeared in the Philadelphia Record
of Monday, is entirely mistaken when
he prognosticated that should there
| not be all amloable understanding
reached by President Harrison and
Secretary Biain, there will be n bitter
| fight in the Republican camp of Della
ware.
There will he no Higgins Massey
fight in Kent county. 1t is not even
expected that Mr.. Massey will be in
{ h fight at all for Senator. In fact he
has said he Is out of politics, but should
he desire Office and have the support
of the majority in Kent county, we
believe here that he shall have the an
wayering support of Senator Higgins,
and without his support he cannot
succeed.
There is no doubt but the next Sena-
tor, tie he Democrat or be he Republi-
th1tf iht6b tohlb lIOth hGbb CUuhby.
Mr.. Gray will have no support from
his party, besites being not OF the
county, he has not only restricted his
modieum OF the loaves and fiehes of
Office to New Castle county, but to his
own fumily connections. And for the
Senatorship there are many aspirants
in the Democratic fold. The most
likely candidate will he tho Governor
himself. Wolcott is out OF tho race,
and the success OF any candidate will
depend on the possibility Of John L.
salisbury, being able, for eonsid-
Grafton. to bring to his support the
Farmers Alliance cranks which his
IIieutenants A. II. Cahail and James
Alexander Fulton are trying to mater
ialize.
Charles H. b. Day will not support
Mr.. Reynolds because he won't back on
him when he appointed j. Flank
Wtlds to his present office. EX-Sena-
tor salisbury would DO in favor oil MIR.
Day himself as candidate for Senator,
but Uncle Joe Bnrchenal on behalf of
what WAS the Wolcott faction, cannot
forget that Mr.. bay endeRvored to
have him imprisoned for assault and
battery.
But in my opinion. there is little use
in the Democrats fretting themselves
about the matter, for no doubt the Re-
pubiicans will be able to make Mr..
Massey, MIA. b. Richardson, Mr.. Jos.
X. Whitaker, or any other Republiean
Senator, to succeed the honorable
George Gray.
Mrs. Foster, who was so badly burnt
Is still in very precarious condition
and some doubts are entertained of
her recovery from the effects of the in
juries she sustained.
Miss Viola Roman after completing
three years term. and graduating
from st. Marys Episcopal school, New
York, Is visiting her parents at Dover.
John c. Pennewill and family will
occupy the new mansion built
opposite the Campus of the Confer
ence Academy about the New Year.
Quite an excitement was caused
here on Saturday by the arrest OF
domestic employed by Mrs. Liebar-
man. Mrs. Lleberman who keeps a
very large clothing establishment,
had sold II sacque to lady and laid it
aside until the indy would call again.
When the lady cuiled for it. it could
not be found. Tor some reason or
other she suspected colored woman
I!aued Donovan whom she employ
ed as n domestic. Donovan is a mar
ried woman and has house of her
own, at which she was, when the
sacque was missed, whare Mis-. Lie
herman went and saw her.
At first the woman denied all know
ledge of the missing article but uiti-
mately admitted having taken it, and
told Mrs. 1ieberman that he had left
it at her sisters house to which Mrs.
Iiieberman went, and not only found
the missing article but great MANY
others which she had not missed, but
all OF which she was able to Identify
as hers.
As to how the colofed girl could
split away SO much goods with wide-
awake clerks in tlle store there is
queer talk.
Tue husbands of the two eolored
women concerned have been arrested
but it is the general opinion they were
i'll no way connected with the Lhefts.
