Gratis and two Republicans. The Demo-
cratic members are Senator Ross and
Representative West of Sussex, and
Representative Richards of Kent, and
these three, being the majority members,

Before the caucus was held, Senator
Ross and Representative West had
agreed on c. w, Kenney, editor of the
Laurel Susser C00ntidR, for clerk Of the
committee, and being majority of the
caucus their wishes prevailed. Senator
Ross was made chairman and Samuel
solomon Of Dover sergeant-at-arms.
