DOVER. Oct. 4-Politics and political
agitation here, SO far as the Repuh leans
are concerned, seem TO be entirely dead
Discussions in the party, consciousness Of
the conspicuous weak ones of ihe ticket
and scathing denunciations of their
platform, by Senators Blackburn and
Gray, have caused such hush In the
Republican camp that, If not for the
banner with Harrison and Reid waving
at the post Office a visitor would say
that the q. o. p. was mon est inyestus'
This time last year, when there was no
election, the Young Mems Republican
club was having its orators from far and
near and weekly Haunting its challenges
TO Democrats TO discuss the Mckinley
tariff law and the Force bill, but now on
the eve of general election, when the
Mckinley law and the Force
bill are the issues of the day
and when Democrats have the time and
inclination TO discuss these or any other
issues not voice is heard from the
challengers, and, in fact, It is understood
that this same Young Mems Republican
club is dissolved Yes" said the sec
retary of the Republican county com
mittee, two men of the town, one an
ex.editor and the other a hardware mer
chant, are running the campaign to suit
themselves. Democrats, who at the
last election two years ago, acted the
part of mugwumps, and who were in d.
clined TO affiliate with the Republicans
observing the manner In which the
bosses in the Republican party run
things have again allied themselves to
the party that is Of the people and for
the people and nothing but harmony ex
lists in Democratic quarters and there are
| just grounds for be lieving that the
Democratic majority in this county in
November next will be twice that Of
| 1890.
