'What are your reasons for so be-
lieving, Mr.. Neary," asked tha re-
porter.
"Why, for these reasons: First, the
Democratic party is united, without
any diesensions. We ave get more
Democrats registered than thsre are
Republicans, and that the independ-
emit Democrats OF New Castle County
are for George Gray for the senate.
and thty are going to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket to accomplish that CD
ject."

county," he was asked.

.sonable and fair"
KENT AND. SUSSEX.
what Of Kent and Sussex" was
the next question asked the Demo-
cratic chairman
CAS- far as Kent and Sussax * are con-
cerned l have every assurance from
Kent county that the Democrats will
carry six Or the representative dis
tricts and elect three Of the senators.
as my latest report is that J. Frank
Alice, one Of the Addicks leaders, only
claims eighteen majority in the dis

coroner, expects to hold the county II
Wilmington will do her share.
Handy's election is assured, as well as
Ross and Bishop
