1t is whispered that before the end Of
the week the ex-marshal may resign
the Republican nomination for repre-
sentative from New Castle hundred and
allow the county committee to name a
candidate who can unite the contending

Castle county, when the legislative
tnominee and George Ii. Hollis went to
Willard Salisbury and implored him
to take steps to have Stewart removed
from the postmastership. Stewart has
not forgiven McMullen and his friends
declare he never will. He has not been
here since he made the threat, but not
withstanding he has been continually
fighting his enemy for nine days, his
commands being executed in New
