employe of the Office except for cause.
In the Wilmington postoffice there
are forty good positions which Demo
cratic workers expected to secure be-
cause Willard Salisbury favored the
appointment of Colonel Moore. But
they have now found out that all these
forty Offices are subject to civil service
rules and cannot be filled even in case
of vacancy except by choice from
among the men who stood highest in a
civil service examination: Some of
these men who want job are grumb-
ling at the civil service rules and at
Colonel Moore, but he is keeping right
on doing his duty.
Camden Camp Meeting is now fairly
under way. Sundays services in
cluded sermons by Rev. w. l.. S. Muir
ray, of Dover; Rev. Robert Watt, of
Turner, of Frederick. Very little po-
litical work was done, but the poll
ticians were on hand, renewing ac-
quaintance with the voters. Next
Sunday will be the big day of the
camp, when 5000 to 10000 people are
expected. To-day the services will be
under the direction of the W. c. T. Z.
Rev. A. Stengle will preach the morn
ing sermon.
Says a Wilmington writer: The
hand of Mr.. J. Edward Addicks is ap-
pearing in the Republican campaign of
Delaware. 1t was thought after the
sheriffalty contest, when the forces of
Addicks were so conspicuously routed,
that he would retire from the field, as
far as that county is concerned, but
recent events show that he is still in
the fight, and that he is beginning to
have his innings. Instead of leaving
out Brandywine hundred altogether,
as the Higgins program intended, the
county committee gave Brandywine
hundred State Senator. And unless
the signs that now prevail point in
another direction later, the Republican
nominee for State Senator from Brandy
wine hundred will beRobert ]. Handy.
Ex- x-Representative Thomas ]. Day,
the Higgins candidate, is in the field
against Handy, but there is not u
doubt felt that bod" Handy, the one
time Philadelphia Common Council
man and wire-puller, will win in a
canter.
The Delaware Democrat gives as the
reasons for Mr.. Marvil's nomination
for Governor by the Republicans, first,
that he has "barrels of boodle," and
second that 'oue of the gentlemen
spoken of as probable nominee by
the Democratic party lives in Mr.. Mar
wills hundred, and the attempt will be
made to stir up all the dissatisfaction
possible on account of the choice of
Mr.. Tunnel over him." To which the
| Milford ChrOni Gle says: "Tunnell is a
| servant of the machine and his name
has already been ground out according
to instructions. The other of those
gentleman will in due time heed the
lash of the party whip and fall in line
at the behest of his leaders. Mr.. Sir
| man is a Democrat, true to his party,
undoubtedly popular, especially in the
vicinity of his home and Mr.. MarVil as
candidate was decided upon long be-
fore Mr.. Sirman was even considered a
possibility. As to the first reason the
Democrat gives that of Mr. Marvil
having barrels of bodle," it is matter
of great credit to which Mr.. Marvi
can point with pride, that he has
learned his bread by the sweat of his
brow" and by frugality provided for
the more sere years of his life.
ANOTHER MURDER CAsE.-George
Chambers, colored, a lad 16 years OF
age, deliberately shot a colored lad
named Brinkley, Saturday last, in the
stable of a farm three miles out Of
Townsend. Young Brinkley died the
following day. All the parties con-
cerned in the case are colOred people.
Chambers was engaged as help on the
| farm of the elder Brinkley, about three
! ley's son had told his father that
Chambers was in the habit of carrying
a pistol around with him. Farmer
Brinkley then went out to Chambers,
took the pistol away and placed it in
safe keeping upstairs. Chambers told
young Brinkley he would get even
with him for telling his father. On
Saturday the elder Brinkley went to
market, and while he was away
Chambers stole up stairs and got the
pistol. He went out straight to tho
stable, where young BriDkley was,
and shot him in the stomach. Cham
bers was arrested and lodged in New
Castle Jail.
! SUSSEX COUNTIES DEBT.-The Mil
ford Chronicle prints the following
"When the Republicans came into
power in 1888 in Sussex county they
found county debt of $4,000, and
after four years of Republican rule the
debt was reduced to $4,000, and all
the running expenses paid. The
Democratic party came into power
again in 1892 and now the debt of
Sussex county is more than $30,000
Showing an increase of $4,000 in two
years, and raise in the tax rate in
addition to this of 25 per cent. to the
credit of Democracy. The debt is
placed as follows: A bond for $12, 500
held by the Ebe w. Tunnel another
bond for $12, 500, held by the Farmers
Bank at Georgetown, another bond O1
$4,000 held by State Treasurer w. H.
Burnite. Beside this there are county
orders drawn and unpaid, which will
aggregate upwards of $4,000. "Ir
four years of Republican rule the
county debt was reduced $4,000, or $3.50
each year. Under Democratic rule
in two years the debt has increased
$4,000, an increase of $4,000 for eact
year in bonded Indebtedness alone.
