The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-01-09


DovER, Del, Jan. 2. 92.--Saveral Of
our citizens ure suffering from La
Grippe" and many who have only con
trac.ed severe cold give their indis-
position that name, but 1t is hoped
that the cold wave which has appar-
emily set in will remove the cause OF
'-complaining whatever it may be and
give the physicians n rest.
The trustees OF the State ColOred
College met at the college building on
Monday and gave imperative orders
for the immediate completion of all
work by contractors or Others so that
students may enter by first day OF
February President Webb is moving
his family this week out TO the new
building at the college, intended for
his residence, and several young men
IN town are patiently waiting for the
day when they can be received as stu
dents.
In Democratic circles here quiet APP
pears to reign, and II anything Is
being done in reference to the coming
campaign it is not visible to tho aver
age looker-on. The leaders with one
or two exceptions, who declare for
| Robert j. when spoken to. say That
the endCavors OF the party shall he to
| return Mr.. Gray to the u. $. Senate.
And whilst they deprecate the idea OF
| two Senators Fl ON one county, yet IN
Difference to Mr.. Bayard's polite ideas
1t ID better to have such. For, say
they, New Castle having Senator and
that Senator George Gray, at the time
Mr.. Higgins term expires, MIR. Hlg-
gins successor must come from Kent
or Sussex. and Robert j. will lie our
man, but as to the latter we must
keep quiet until further on, for Sussex
| will certainly Kick on account OF his
appointing Stockley to that BERTHA
other appointments there.
To elect a General Assembly that
Will send Mr.. Gray back to the U. S.
Senate, they mainly rely on the good
work which Tax Collector Dickey is
| doing in Wilmington-th advantages
they will have under the new election
law, and the assistance they will re-
ceive from Republican kickers in Kent
county who they say are good at the
still hunt"
As to the latter, in my opinion, they
calculate without their host us | do
not know OF any "kickers, land the still
hunt system is played out. And In
reference to the new election law and
[ t. purposes they will be entirely dis
appointed, for as Mr.. Bayard has said
Its provisions are easily understood
and can soon be thoroughly mastered
| With few more addresses like that
delivered here by Hugh G Bro wne
explanatory OF its proportions, togeth
er with the denunciation OF tho mo
tive and intent5 OF the encarDpmeut
10y Hon. \. Il. Smithers aud others tht
people OF Kent county contrary u
the expectation OF Thomas +. Bayurd
will rise to tho nobility of American
citizens md no advantage given
to any one under this abullive piece
Of legislation which was inspired by
corruption and founded on the princi
Pile of the corruptabiliy OF oLrcitizcns
With the assistance of Senator Hig
gins and the Republicans in New Cas-
tie county, we shall be able to elect III
Assembly which will send i'll 1870
to the q, S. Senate, as successor tC
George Gray, either A, Il. Richardson
