From the above it will be seen that
the Democrats have carried all the
county officers except the sheriff and
two members OF the Levy Court. Nc
Kinley has a majority in the county of
7lS. The Democrats will have seven
teen members of the next General AS
sembly, and the Republicans and Ad-
dicks Republicans together will have
thirteen. The Republicans, however,
will control the Senate by a vote of
five to four.
COnceding Kent county to the Demo-
Gratis the Assembly would stand Sem
ate, Democrats and 4 Republicans
House, 20 Democrats and ! Republican.
The Republicans will probably contest
the seat OF the man counted in from
Kent county, and as the vote on such
a question would stand to 4, the
Democrats would probably be unable
to seat the Kent man.
NO TROUBLE IN GEORGETOWN.
To the satisfaction Of the Georgetown
people, the anticipated trouble failed to
mateIialize. There was an air of ex-
citement, but i'll suppressed about town
all day, but this was occasioned by the
/ presence Of the Wilmington policemen
and several other athletic-looking indi-
viduals. There we're other arrivals on
the morning train, among them being
United States Marshal Hewson e. Ian
nan, Detective McVey, Police Captain
Robert w. Chambers. Patrolman Solo
mon, Police Janitor Thomas and Robert
/ Porter.
Marshal Lannan came down on busi-
ness. having to serve a process, and had
/ nothing to do with the others being
/ here. State Detective McVey came to
! investigate the alleged murder of a
politician in Baltimore hundred. II was
said that the others came down to see
the sights OF return day"
TO GUARD BALLOT BOXES.
The policemen lowered about the bal
lot boxes, and then it became known
that there were a posse secured by the
Democrats, to guard them. The Demo-
Gratis claimed that the Addicksites had
threatened TO break the ballot boxes
and gain possession of the county. They
denied having any intention of
throwing out districts. On the other
hand. the Union Republicans declared
that they had made no threats and that
the Democrats were trying to cheat
them and that they wanted fair play
and a fair count.
THE REPUBLICANS INDIGNANT.
Both Republicans and Union Repub-
licans we're indignant They declared
that Sussex people were abundantly
able to attend TO their own affairs with
out interference from Wilmington.
Sheriff Truxton plainly told the Will
! ming on men that II they interfered
with the canvass they would be ar
rested. There was no interference.
RETURN DAY" CROWD.
Return day is Georgetown's great
gala occasion. On that day the town
