This gratuitous Insult to the deleea
tion OF visiting Republicans, who came
to Dover on Tuesday to attend the Re
publican State Convention, is character
istic OF the Morning News under the
direction OF Washington II lstings. He
alone is responsible for the political
utteranees OF that paper. He has msds

campaign State Sentinel.

publican fight bids fair to become more
and more interesting as the campaign
progresses. - Every Evening.
