The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-01-16
What u itepDrfer Saw.

A REPUBLICAN reporter yesterday took
| trip to Milford and among other things
noticed by the scribe on his trip were the
| following:
At Wilmington politicians by the dozen
| were talking about the CheAirs contes t.
Sam Adams wos among the number but
| he was not going to Dover.
At Farnhurst, the new annex to the
| Delaware State Hospital for the Insane
! makes great improvement in looks to
the building, and nodoubU adds much to
| the comfort of the patients. At New Castle
/ everything was bustle at the pretty
town on the Delaware. Wires of the electric
road that will shortly connect that town
with Wilmington, could be seen from the
car window. Representative Mccoy got
aboard and when the town wants legisla-
tion 1t Is sure to have fighter in Repre-
sentative Mccoy.
We passed the idle wooden and cotton
mills. The wooden mills one year ago
were canceling orders on account Of low
prices and this year no orders are coming
in and the mills are closed. From 5000 TO
ST. 800 per week used to be paid in wages
every Saturday aG the woolen mills
At State Road, John Bartholomew is
still in bed and does not care whether
salisbury or Addicks is elected Senator,
for he intends to sleep. A few years ago
he left his bed after having seven years
nap He went to wcrk in the Delaware
Iron Works at New Castle at night timo
and in day time would cultivate his little
farm or go for days cunning. He didn'G
care about sleep, but a few years played
insomnia out and once more he took to
bed. During the past four years he has
been constantly in bed, eats very little
and puzzles the local doctors.
AT Bear-We had Representative Don
aldson aboard and he announced to his
friends that he can do as much work in
the Legislature as others, and yet not
serve ON the committees. Secretary of
State, Whiteman, told Donaldson that he
stands good show of getting double pay
because he has been recognized by the
second house. Between there and Dover,
1t was learned that wasp nest had been
disturbed by Representative Dickey when
he gave notice of a bill for the construc-
tiou of q sewer from Silyerbrook to the
Christiana. Peter j. Ford the mLr1cco
manufacturer, who has built up the 18th
ward, was one of the many Democrats
who got off the train at Dover. A gentle
man connected with the present Legisla-
ture stated that as sure as Ford was
knocked out of the nomination for Co..
ernor SO sure will his bill for the Jnstrul-
sion of the Silverbrook sewer bo killed. yu. >
Some of the Kent County Representa-
tives got off at Dover and Representative
Donaldson casually remarked TO Clerk of
the House Spicer that II mistake had
been made in seating the Kent Demo
Gratis as they COULD have done better with
six Republicans. The Kent Democrats
will not back up Willard salisbury for
United States Senator and tho predic-
ton is now made that Chancellor Nchol-
son will be the choice of the cauCas on
Monday Night.
II Petor j. Ford has drop of recipro-
/ city in his views then he should use his
influence for ex-ChanCelior Wolcott.
Chancellor Nicholson is keeping quiet in
tlG race but he will be trotted out as tho
da X ho SO and the ringer is g pingtI Le
the winner.
Milford is live town and has live peo-
pie in it, The first thing noticed about it
was that the snow had been cleaned off of
the pavements in all parts Of the town.
