to any great extent and old campaigners
say that the hundred will pile up her
usual Republican majority. Reputli-
cans claim that the former purcbasable
vote fockep to thm and more than made
up for the number who followed the
Massey men. m
Ssaford, ITO p. m.-The friends of
nominee for State Treasurer Willie N.
Ross forgot Willie and have gone over to
the Republicans, tor if appearances stand
for anything the usual Democratic ma
jority of $50 in Seaford hundred has
taken wings and there will have to be
good counting done TO enable the Demo-
Gratis to find q majority. The Democrats
can't realize as yet that the curtain has
dropped on the last act of the party in
Sussex county.
Milford, $50 p. ln.-First Representa-
tive District Of Sussex county 800 Repub-
lican majority. The election passed off
peacefully and no money was used.
Chairman Marshall believes the Re-
publican ticket elected in Sussex county.
Milton, 7.25 .. m.-Never in the his
tory Of "Old Broadkiln" hundred have
the people witnessed q sitter fight than
was put up by the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties to-day and this hundred,
which has been conceded to the Demo-
Gratis by the Republicans ever since the
registration, 10 now claimed TO have gone
Republican BY smal1 majority.
Laurel, 7.45 p. m.-The indications
point to Democratic majority in this
hundred Of about 20 or 80. The hum
dred is close and there might possibly be
small Republican majority.
There will be little cutting Of the State
ticket, and it is claimed by conservative
Republicans that they will defeat L.
Irving Handy and the whole Democratic
State ticket with majority ranging
from 800 to SEQ.
The fight between Simon S. Pennewill
and Joseph E. Holland, Senatorial can
didates in the First District, will be a
hot one and will result in victory for
Mr.. Pennewill by small majority.
The Republicans also claim that Sena-
torial candidate in the Fourth District, J.
J. Brazure, will be ela, led in spite of the
fact that the Regis and Unionists
have failed to agree on the same candi-
date for State Senator. 1t is expected
that many Regular Republicans will
support Mr.. Brazure and cut their own
candidate, Dinnard W. Campbell, for the
district is stronghold of Republican
ism.
Robert Short, candidate for Sheriff,
has also fight on his hands, but will be
ele2 ed over Thomas Il. Wilson by a fair
majority. The balance of the county
3!:et will be elected without doubt.
There will be 6 Republican Repre-
sentatives elected, namely: Two from the
First Senatorial District, two from the
Fourth and one from the Third, also one
from the Fifth District. -.
This will give the Republicans three
of the five Sussex county Senator's and
six Of the ten Representatives, and If the
same work is done in the other counties
OF the State the Republicans will have
the Legislature.
The Representatives who will be elect
ed are Mark L. Davis, of the First Rep
resentative District, and George S. Buell.,
of the Second Representative District;
GeorgesH. West and Joseph W. Hunter,
of the Seventh and Eighth Representa-
tive Districts.
William P. Short, of the Sixth, and
John Barr, of the Ninth District, will
also be elected.
1t the First Senatorial District there
will be 1,S76 votes poled, of which there
will be probably l,157 Republican, 500
Democratic and 20 Prohibition.
In the Second Senatorial District l,49)
votes will probably be polled and 1858 Of
them will be Democratic, 6l3 Republi-
can and 20 Prohibition.
The Third Senatorial District will poll
a vote OF 1879, of which 972 will be
Democrats, 6S7 Republican and 20 Pro-
hibition.
In the Fourth Senatorial District there
will be in all probability little heavier
vote than in the other dis
tricts; the vote polled will be probably
,O96, of which 6S5 will be Republican,
400 Democratic and 30 Prohibition.

,799, of which / ,0O2 will be Democratic,

closed and nearly full vote was polled
in this hundred. There is much: specu-
lation as to the result and the Republic

Democratic majority to about 40, which
is only about half the usual Democratic
majority in the hundred.
Reports from other hundreds in the
county are indicative of Republican sue
c&s, and little douba is felt by the party
leaders that the county has gone Repub-
lican by fully 800 majority.
Schemes of intimidation were tried on
all sides bv the Democrats.
MILFORD, $50 p. m.-The friends of
Simeon S. Pennewill rallied to his sup
port at the polls to-day and though the

The better Of the situation. They feel
confident that they have also elected
their State, county and legislative ticket
in the First Senatorial District of Sussex.

feel satisfied that theyAshave carried
Lewes and Rehoboth hundred by so ma
ority. .....
