the exception of Handy, will
probably carry the county.
In New Castle county, outside of Will
mington, the Democrats were more than
treated to a surprise party, for the rea-
son that the Republicans gained an ad-
ditional 500 to the 1000 majority gained
in Wilmington.
The Republicans elected Frank p.
Ewing for Represe sentative in the Sixth,
George Frizzel in the Seventh, John w.
Dennison in Eighth, John Pilling in the
Ninth and TheOdoreClark in the Twelfth.

Hushebeck was only defeated by four
votes by bis Democratic opponent, L. E..
Eliason.

Senatorial district, James M. Shake
speare in the Fourth and Robert McFar-
lie in the Fifh.
9.O5. The Democrats Of St. Georges s
are attempting 10 steal the ballot boxes
in this hundred, and there is likely to
be trouble before the night closes.

claim the county by over 1900 majority
and say that they have elected four If not

carried the county by from 200 to 800,
majority.
In the Seventh Senatorial District the
Democrats claim that they have elected!
George NJ. D. Hart by plurality of 1901.

e.acted by over 200 plurality.
