Editorial Gossip of the state Press oon-
corning the Interesting Situation at
Dover.
State Sentinel, Rep.
Approximately, the terms of the detail
were US follows: The Sussex Senators were
if it became necessary TO assist by their
votes in electing Mr.. Watson speaker; in
return for which their seats in the senate,
the right to which had been questioned,
we're not to be disturbed; and at the same
time pledges were said to have been given
to the Democratic end of the scheme that
the seats of the Democratic members OF
the House of Representatives from Kent
county were not to be contested. Another
result which rumOr accords to the bargain,
is that from sense of gratitude TO him
who is named as the promoter of the
scheme, the Sussex Senators should vote
for him regardless of the wishes of their
constituents and in the face OF his own
statements, oft repeated, that he is not
candidate for the Senatorshlp.
"DoG" HYNsoN FEARS THE FUTURE.
Milford News and Advertiser, Rep.
The Republicans OF Delaware are begin
ming to feel as much contempt for their
members in the Legislature, as the Demo-
Gratis have for their president and Con-
gress. Each appears to be without
future.
CURIOUS THAT A HIGGINS AND AN ApDIcKs
EDITOR SHOULD SO WELL AGREE.
Seaford News, Dem.
Spring will be very gratefully received
this year not only because the people will
be glad to see the last of this awful winter,
but because it will end the Democratic
| Congress. Stale Sentinel and NelcS and
| Advertiser, Feb. l6.
The NcWs and advertiser of Milford and
the State Sentinel of Dover both print the
above in their editorial column on the
same date. They have it letter for letter,
word for word, and credited to no one. is this
only an astounding instance of telepathy,
or is it that both editors are appropriating
their comments from the same source?
PARALYzEs PARsoN DAVIS PENCIL.
Sussex Republican, Rep, Feb. %
Nine days more and that do-nothing,
wrangling Democratic Congress will cease
that the country may never see its like
again. We would say more about 1t but

When we come to write about that, our
pencil is paralyzed. We can find no words
to express our disgust and modification.

THE BOWEN BOYS ARE TIRED OF THE FARCE
Delaware Ledger, Ind.
Some days two or more ballots ar
taken, but one is the amount general,
taken on the Senatorship question q
Dover. The farce-fur verify it has gottel
down to the meanest kind--certaiply ha
become very monotonous.
DR.. MUSTARD SAYS STICK.
Delaware Pilot, Dem.
We trust that the Republican member
will not allow themselves to be started OF
the run by the wiles of old Satan. Their
is no disgracein voting for Senator for 81
months or year provided you are stand
