The prevailing opinion here to-day ia
that there Will be vote taken In open
session tom orrow Tor State treasurer and
state auditor. All tho candidates for
both positions have been here working
their level best to get promises from the
members of both houses.
One side claims that Winfield s. Qrg-
| 10y should DO elected State treasurer be.
cause he has beeh u hard worker and that
the upper county should receive some of
the patronage.

us nine Republican legislators that she
ehouid lie almo ost completely backballed
| Sussex has the Governor aud Kent tho
| secretary OF State. while both counties
have also secured the sergeant /. al arms,
clerks and pages, except one reading
| clerk. Quigieys frlenda claim he should
| get the plum and assert tnat he can II he
| would give his support OF niue votes to
| certain Demourat for State auditor who
In return would give enough Democratic

TO MIND THEIR OWN ROADS.
In the House this morning notice was
given by Mr.. Jolls OF bill In reference to
the town of New Castle. At the last ses
sion OF the General Assembly a bill was
passed allowing the town of New Castle
to collect road taxes on the property as
sessed in the town limits Under the old
law 1t had been collected by the road com
missioners of the whole hundred and New
Castle city portion allotted to her When
the new law was passed II gave the city
control of the money collected within its
own limits, but retained to the people there
the right to vote at the election for road
commissioners for the entire hundred. The
proposed law would give only the people in
the rural portion of the hundred the right
to vote for road commissioners and prac-
tically to manage their own affairs New
Castle city will still collect its own road
taxes and eXpend the money as 1t sees fit.
A bill to re-lncorporate the Board of
Education in New Castle was also given
notice of by Mr. Jolls Both bills are in
the hands of Speaker McMullen.

purchasable voter had delivered the ballot
which he had sold.
