had been rescued and taken aboard
another boat they looked about for
some one to express their GRATIS ,tion
and thankfulness 10 the captain and
crew OF the rescuing steamer. There
were over 200 people from which TO
make that selection, but the American
gentleman who the papers mentioned
in reporting the affair as having
mounted box and so eloquently
giving thanks to the rescuing party,
was gentleman from st. Georges hun
dred. The papers of course did not
state that. but it was fact and con
slider that not one of the least of the
many honors which have been bestowed
upon our people, added the man from

made the address ON behalf of the un-
fortunate passengers was the Rev.

a Declaration In Favor of Nicholson and
White, In the Event Of ChanceIiur VOL
cott's Resignation.
Editor Gazette: The princi-
pal topic of conversation in political
circles here at the present time in the
rumored resignation of Chancellor VOL
colt, and his possible successor While
1t may be premature to discuss posi-
hilities, contingent upon the yerifica
tlon OF rumor, yet where the public
is concerned, the public will discuss
possibilities.
The 'rumor of the Chancellor's in
tended resignation is generally be.
lleved, and the sentiment in Sussex
county is largely in favor of the ap-
pointment Of Hon. John II. Nicholson,
the present attorney general, as Chan
cellor, upon the vacancy being created
by the resignation Of Chancellor VOL
colt In fact, Sussex county would
unanimously endorse the appointment
Of Mr.. Nicholson, for he is looked upou
as being peculiarly qualified and fitted
for the position, by reason of his pro
found legal knowledge and high sense
of honor and integrity. In the event
of the appointment of Mr.. Nicholson
as Chancellor the next possibility that
is discussed is who would be anpointed
attorney general in Mr.. Nicholson s
stead. Many names have been sug-
gested by correspondents Of newspapers,
and no doubt all of the gentlemen
named would do credit to the position.
~ has been rather a surprise to me
that the name of Robert G. White,
ESQ.,, OF the Sussex county bar has
not been among those named for the
appointment as attorney general.
In the event of Mr.. Nicholson's ap-
pointment as Chancellor, Mr.. Whites
friends would most certainly urge his
appointment as attorney general. He is
peculiarly well qualified to discharge
the duties OF the office, by reason OF
many years practice and by his con
nection with the most important crimi.
nal trials in this county for the past 1C
years. lie, as lawyer, is acute, well
grounded in the law, and as has often
been said, che is natural lawyer. y
Now from political standpoint Mr..
White certainly has some claim upor
the Democratic party. For years he has
been indefatigable in his work for the
party, giving his time and his means
toward the support of the party. YET
when he has asked for anything, he
has always been side tracked, but in
his political work he has never thrown
the switch, but has ever kept on the
main track, If anything working harder
than before. In the event Of vacancy
occurring Mr.. White will have tho sun
port Of the Sussex county bar and the
Suesex county peope. Democrat.
