Blsckblrd hundred.

For County Comptroller-John F.
| Stats, OF Appoquinimink hundred
States sometimes get broken, and there
are several men dsvOtlng their energies
TO breaking this one. The Mcintyre men
declare that they will carry the county
from Carawell by several hundred votes.
BouRbman. who gave Stasts such a tight
| rub four years ago Is confident that his
Wilmington friends who stood by him
then will stand by him now, and that
many more will Join him. he was out
on his wheel yesterday and to-day plac.
ing hls ballots aud giving his lleutenants
tier hnsl instructIons The Mcintyre
men have also been IS busy as beavers
during the past few days. and their
headquarters In the MoVey Building
have been the scene of unwonted activity.
Oarmlchael's friends are mad bscause
the Carswell men have dropped Gar
michael from their slate and substituted
Tomsn. and many OF them who we're
1 former Oarswell msn DECLARE that they
will get their revenge by forming a
combination with the McIntyre men

Is bitter because the WILMINGTON slate
mtkers decided TO throw the nomination

county. He too. Is making com mon cause
with the Motntyre men and taken all TO
Rether, it Ia strong combination
which the CArswsll and Staats men 6nd

Elections. aud s. S Adams. clerk Of the
Municipal Court at It's head

John F. ODonnsll's friends are red
hot over his Withdrawal from the
fight for coroner. They have learned
shat 1t WAS through Dennis s.
Shields that he did so, this
him up all right II he would retire for

refused After wards something more 10
his liking was offered and he accepted It.
There ia now a strong likelihood that
Willis will be tho gamer by O'Donnell's
withdrawal as the O'Donnell men de
clare that they do not propose TO be
delivered 10 R)thwell In any such man
ner.
10 some Instances the hght will be bit

ises to be an orderly election The re
turns will be closely Watchsd by both
sides and the only thing likely 70 lead to
trouble il for any attempt to be made to
iuggle With votes and figures.
