not come on Wednesday, as had been
predicted by some folk in New York.

party will not feel so keenly their dis
appearance from before the public
eye?-Morning News.
Those Democratic officeholders who,
either in person or by their sympathy
gave aid and comfort to the acts and
doings of the Indianapolis convention,
should resign at once, as they are at
tempting to defeat the Democratic

Mr.. Tunnel made a gallant fight in
the campaign of two years ago and
was only defeated by the most corrupt
and unblushing use OF money at the

1t was reported that the Sussex
county Levy Court was to have met
last Tuesday to appoint a collector for
Cedar Creek hundred, but it did not.
The same old deal is on, but we don't

thousand dollars of taxes is a large
sum for Sussex to lose, and the Levy
Court won't permit it. Milford
