Correspondence VI the hepuDiioaus
Dover, Del, March 9Th, 1s92.-At our
town election the retiring President,
Hiram Reedy, and members of Coun-
Gil James Kirk, Stephen Slaughter,
Cecil Fulton and A. A. Watson, wore
re'elected without any opposition. The
voting was very light inasmuch rs
citizens, Republlcans and Democrats
ceased to take any interest In the cleo.
tion when they learned that the old
members without any exception had
been put In nomination.
1t had previously been mooted by
some Democrats who believe in the
potentiallty of party to give picklngs
to substitute Il Democrat in place OF
Mr.. Watson for the fourth district.
But Republicans having threatened to
run straight ticket for all the dis
tricts, and some Democrats who be-
licve In principles, aud who care little
whether Republicans or Democrats
control The affairs of the hour, SO long
as that control Is exercised for the
best interests Of tho town having pro-
tested against the Introduction of
party politics n the management OF
the municipal affairs. the element

paled of getting Office pure and simple

ct In nomination, and SO everything
went as merry as wedding bells.
In the evening, Council met and re-
elected the old officers OF Council. On
tho motion of MI. Kirk, seconded by
MIR. Il. i. Jones tho Council unanlm-
ously with tho exception of Mr.. Dyer
agreed to raise tho salary OF tho worry
efficient Chief Engineer of tho Water
Works.
Mir. Dyer In protesting against tho
increase OF the Chief En- ylnc6rs salary
said that mechanics generally were
very much overpaid. and that no did
not think that men who had only
"Thetr hands and their brains" should
be paid so high wages, when there was
SO little return for capital.
Mr.. Dyer is the same gentleman
who opposed having the hose carriages
and engines painted by exports, he.
cause he said he could get man from
farm In tho country who would dc
it for less money. So you muy judge
how highly Mr. Dyer estimates the
value of the mechanical arts and
sciences, and the hire that the laborei
is worth.
"But that a man whom patience
brought to wear n coat that's patched
should ever lead changed life witt
deccney and grace may justly, con
