This quiet little suburb to Wilmington
has survived the agony collection in fairly
good shape.
The bolsterous Democrats have taken
down their signs stopped their constant
Boosting and retired to state of political
alternating until some future crazy prop
osition shall bring them into new life
with hope Of success where they will
again come up snorting and blowing to
the starting wire just as II they were
really live party

Spicer is in evidence as usual. He Is
not burning any Bryan votes nor making
any bets on any thing, but he Is making
pretty active canvass for the olerkship

Indeed the sole object Of his nomination
and election seems to have been to make
Spicer, Jr., clerk. -
and there may be some doubt about Sus:
sex and Kent concluding both Of the
principal offices to New Castle county,
but If 1t should come to a question Of merit
no reasonable doubt but that Spicer will
come off triumphant. Didn't George put
up his wife's money on Byran and lose

pretty expensive experience let us once

N~t hat, al hot

evidence as office seekers. We imagine
when their claims get to Washington
there will be some pertinent inquiries
about the use of their political talents.
