POLITICAL FORECAsTING. The Sen
tinel in discussing the fact that tho
hold over Senators stand three Demo
ocrats and two Republicans, with four
senators to elect this year, two Of them
from Kent county, says;
These questions are now agitating
the minds of politicians of both parties {:
Will a Democrat succeed Senator Gray
in the U. s. Senate? Shall Senator
Gray succeed himself, or shall some
other Democratic aspirant drop into
his seat? Senator Gray is handicap
Ued he cant carry his own county
G IvernOr Reynolds prefers the other
aspirant anything to beat Gray, his
friends say. Why should New Castle
county have both u. :. Senators ?
The fight now in prospect between
Senator Gray and Governor Reynolds,
in the event of Democratic success at
he polls in November, would open up
middle ground for James l.. WolcOtt
Esq v hose Senatorial ambition fell a
victim to treaehery in his own use
| hold. The Democratic party in the
whole state is now practically united.
The contest this fall between the
two opposing political parties will be a
,quare, open fight with Kent county
as the stamping ground. We recOg
uize the fact that Democrats are no
willing to coDcede us New Casll,
county, but we lay a vigorous claim t
it.
At the last election the Democrat
carried the State by about 400 majority
after personal effort and prodiga
expenditure Of boodle on their part
never had its equal in the state. Ken
county, where Governor Reynolds live
and where for weeks he had made
house to house d. canvass, only CAV
him 25S majority out of total vOt
of 7 7,454 ballots.

Mr.. HARDESTY'S PAY.-The pay OF
Court Stenographer Harde,ty, W ho at

believed that under the law the stem
ographer would have to pay for his
own trapscribing, and that the salary
Of 81, 500 a year would be considerably
diminished before the year was over
1t now appears, however, that under
the law, when the stenOgrapher makes
copies of the testimony in criminal
cases. for the use of attorney, he
charges for it and the Levy Court is
compelled to pay the bill. This fact
was discovered in New Castle county
in connection with the bill of Walter
H Hayes, counsel for James Carr, for
| S45 for copying the testimony in that
case by the stenOgrapher for Mr.
Hayes use. The money of course
goes to he state stenOgrapher. The

PEELED to pay the bill, but it was dis
covered that under the law the bill
must he paid, and so the stenOgrapheI
