The latest political surprise to be sprung
: on the people is that Mr.. Jonathan S. vii,
: lis will he candidate for United States
Senator. We always thought that the OK
Congressman would much rather be SEN
ator than Congressman, for then If the
administration was with him he would
have the giving out of considers able patron
age The candidates whose names have
| thus far been mentioned for Senatorial
honors are J. Edward Addicks, Jonathan
s. Willis, j. Frank Alice, Ex-senator hig-
gins and Colonel Henry A. Du Pont, Rob.
ert Adair has announced that he Is can
dida. o for Slate Senator from the first
Senatorial districts subject to the decision
of tho Republican party.
This is the district in which Mr.. Stephen
Downie has announced his candidacy
for Senator.
An interesting fight Is being waged
among the Democrats in the Fourth Rep
resentative district for the nomination for
member of the Legislature. The FREQ
silver men have trottsd out two candi-
dates while Patrick Neary has bis man
there in tho shape Of ex- Councilman Fran.
els J, McNulty. The frea silver candidates
ire Thomas +. MCCARTHY, who has many
friends. and George c. Morton, who will
have almost the whole support Of the
Democratic League. MIR. MCCARTHY and
Mr.. Morton viii divide the vote of that
branch. Mr.. McNulty will receive the
support Of the gold Democrats. He was
former momber Of City Council from the
Tenth ward. George wright of New
Castle will be a candidate for the Repub-
lcan nomination for representative from
the tenth district.
If the Democrats who have expressed
wish to see L. Irving Handy renominated
for Congress. so that they could help
bury him so deep politically at the election
that he would never be reelected again.
This is what great number of Democrats
have decided to do So Mr. Handy can
expect right decent political funeral
when J. Henry Hoffecker isin November
elected to his seat In Congress.
1t is stated that If Handy is defeated
for Congres, he must be candidat, for
Senator aad if the Silver Democrat
control this legislature as they did two
wears ago that he would be satisfied to
take Senator Gray's sent.
Tho Democratic party at this time IS
torn asunder by dissentious and this fact
can not be more apparent to that absolute
lealer Mr. Patrick J. Neary. He had
tho good sense to withdraw once before
aud leave tho defeat to fall on the should
ers Of the erswhile Robert Francis who af-
ter the election quietly dropped out as one
of the guiding lights Of Democracy.
Tho candidates for Recorder Of Deeds
are numerous. This being the first time
that the Off has been filled by the votes
Of tho people. The present Recorder or
Deeds Courtland c. Montgomery will be
candidate on the Democratic ticket, that
Is If no Is lucky enough to receive the nom.
nation at tho hands of his party He is
making hustling canvas for the position,
us iS is good paying one.
The office has brought out at least eight
or ton Republican candidates who are
doing some tall hustling for the position.
I he prospects arc that Republican will
fill the position after November next. The
new constitution extended the term of
Sheriff Finn until January next. There-
fore tho new sheriff although elected in
November will not take possession Of the
office until three months later.
Candidates for Office will hnve to be very
circumspect and not spend any money for
tho purpose Of influencing votes at tho
coming nomination or election. The pro-
visions of tho new constitution will require
every member of the next Legislature to
take al oath that he did not purchase any
votes directly or indirectly
Robert Adairha announced himself as
n candidate for tho nomination for State
Senator, subject TO tho decision of the Re.
publican party.
Robert McFarlln, of New Castle Hun
dred announces his candidacy for State
Senator representing the fifth Senatorial
district, including White Clay Creek
Hundred, Red Lion Hundred and New
Castle Hundred.
Herbert Ieates Is making the fight Of
his life for Coroner on the Democratic
ticket. Ho Is hustler and If a Democrat
is to be elected why We would as soon sec
Ycut,s Coroner as anybody.
