s-l5 O'clock a. IN, had aboard lnrge
number of delegates, others not dele
gates and HyatLs Military Band that
discourscd delightful music all the
way down to Dover. At almost every
station the number of delegates was
Increased. Never did a set of delegates

.countenances They looked as II they
shifted victory In the bracing morning
air. They only had one elector to
name for the convention and all cen
tired upon Colonel Henry A. DUPONT
A Congressman was to be named but
this by general consent was left for
Kent county Republicans to name.
Whoever they nominated The Republi-
cans of New Castle and Sussex resolved
should he their nominea, whether IL
was Rev. ]. 3. Willis. Colonel ]. Il.
Lof1land or Joseph Il. Whitaker. Ar
irving at Dover the long string of dele.
gates fell In behind the band and woke
mp the town as they marched to the
Court House on the green, where the
crowd was dismissed until IL o'clock,
when the convention would meet.
Already the town was swarnlng
with the sturdy Republicans OF Kent
and Sussex and with the delegates in
attendance ut the State League Con

they came to compare them with the
little handful of Democrats that met
In convention two days before.
