Sussex County.
This is an era of innovations. and
the holding of the Union Republiron
county convention at GeOrgetowp Inst
Saturday night is the newest and most
unique
The primaries had been called for
Saturday afternoon, and the conven.
ton was to meet on Tuesday to make
out the ticket, but the Regulars stole
a march on the Unions and called their
convention for Monday, thereupon DR.
G. r. Layton, chairman of the Union
Republican County Committee
changed the time of meeting of their
convention to Saturday evening at 4
O'Clock. Notwithstanding the late.
ness of the hour, the delegates were
all there but two.
The nominations for State Senatoqs
were then begun and resulted as fol.
lows: First district, S. S. Pennewlll:
Third district, Daniel J. FoOks:
Fourth district, Isaiah J. Brassure;
Fifth district, Dr. Hiram Il; Burton
For Representative in the General
Assembly the following nominations
were made: First district. Mark I
| Davis; Second, John w. Green.
Third, E. F. Prettyman; Fourth.
James H. Wright; Fifth, Obed W
Marvel; Sixth, William p. Short;
Seventh, David J. Long; Eighth.
James w. Hunter; Ninth, John Black:
Tenth, John Barr.
Samuel l. RoOp, of Laurel. was
nominated for coroner and John F.
Splcer of Broad Greek hundred for
county treasurer.
1t is now developed that Saturdays
meeting was only caucus, not a con.
vention. The Union Republican con-
vention meet yesterday, in accordance
to law and to ratify the work of the
caucus. The Regular convention met
at - O'Clock Monday, with Robert G.
Houston as chairman, and William A.
Gum as secretary. Before proceed
ing with nominations, a committee
was appointed to seek harmony Will
the Unions and report back to the Re.
gulars Thursday week, to which time
they adjourned.
The committee is George H. Hall
Cedar Greek; William A. Gum, Frank
ford; George Townsend, Baltimore
Robert G. Houston, Georgetown
Thomas Rawlins Seaford.
1t is believed the Regulars will at
tempt the Union Legislators if pledged
to Willis instead to Addicks. Will,
was talked of strongly by both fac
tions.
