turn, After the Single Takers carried the
day here for the delegates to Dover 1t was
rumored that John II. Campbell would DO
an aspirant for Representative and that
he depended upon the followers of Henry
George to give hp strong vote. Then

strengthen Campbell because William B.
Mccoy would carry tho rural votes and
some scattering votes In the city.
Willard Salisbury knocked out all tie
hopes OF tho Campbell admirers by send
ing out the call with the Instructions that
no Single Takers be allowed to vote unless
they would pledge themselves to support
the successful nominee.
Thomas p. Morgan to-day made the an
nouncement that he had withdrawn from
the contest.
Now not Single Taxer will vote for
Campbell because he is not follower OF
Henry George. And then again the best

islature and men who cannot be reached
by the methods with which John Taylor

paying nightly visits to the pear trees, SO
he loaded his gun and sat in ambush for
the enemy. About o'clock he was re
warded for his vigilance, as two men
stepped over the fence.
They We're about to 60 to the tree when
