WHITE, SCOTT AND MEALEY.
Henry NJ. White will poll big vote
in the Fourth Levy Court district and
defeat Robert ]. Morrison, the Bach
and Higgins candidate. The same may
be said of William A. Scott. the Demo-
cratic nominee in the Fifth district.
John j. Mealey will have a walk-over
in the Third, while John J. Gallagher,
who is running in the Second district,
Is about the only sure thing on the
Levy Court branch of the regular Re
publican ticket
LYNN'S FRIENDS DISTURBED.
Everything indicates that John Lynn,
the regular Republican candidate for
Levy Court commissioner from the
First district, will have a largely re-
duced majority il he is not actually de-
feated by Abram Palmer, the Demo-
cratic nominee. Lynn was nominated
by the regular Republican machine of
Wilmington, of which Bach is the con-
trolling spirit, and the friends of r.
Lewis Armstrong, the defeated aspirant
for the nomination, are up in arms
against this foreign interference in the
domestic affairs of the district They
are fiocking to the standard Of Abram
Palmer by the hundred, and the
friends Of Lynn are much disturbed
over the outlook.
CHAIRMAN BROWNIES DENIAL.
Late last night Chairman Hugh C.
Browne, OF the regular Republican
State Central Committee, issued a
statement denying the withdrawal of
Higgins and Houston, and declaring
that all such rumors are absolutly un-
true and without foundation.
A BLOW AT ROBERTS.
d. Wendell Hulburd. son of the lat,
Rev. Merritt Hulburd, S. T. D., o.
Grace M. f. Church, has the following
to say regarding the use by George w
Roberts,of the Dover State Sentinel ofan
extract from a private letter written
by DR.. Hulburd to Mr.. Roberts and
used as boom for Hoffecker and VIII
lis:
Mr.. Roberts has wilfully used por-
tions OF a personal letter written 10
him by my father, which, by the man
ner of the using. has doubtless created
a false impression. Mr. Roberts can
have no doubt Of my fathers position
in the premises, and his use of the quo
tation is as misleading as it is con-
trary to good taste, and the misuse of
the portion of the letter referred to is
in my mind, gross and unwarranted.
had not seen the clipping before to-
night, OF l should. have taken some
steps to express my contempt for what
l consider an act out OF keeping with
the respect due to fathers memory.
