Republican leaders.
This is already becoming manifest in
the way in which respective candidates
are entering the lists ot the two great
parties and by the end Of next month
there will be no dearth OF good material
from which to select standard bearers
for the November election.
As has been previously intimated in
these columns the factionai split, accru.
ing in the Democratic ranks by the re-
cent state senatorial election in New
Castle county, has been safely bridged
and the followers OF Jefferson are once
more united party.
This also applies to Sussex and Kent
counties and the prevailing belief is
that Delaware will remain the Demo-
cratic stronghold that it has for years.
Heretofore tie only elective county
officers have been Receiver Of Taxes.
{ Coroner and Sheriff, but now under the
new constitution that OF Recorder Of
Deeds has been added to the list.
At the State Convention to be held at
Dover, at time not yet designated, a
State Treasurer. State Auditor and In
surance Commissioner will be nomi-
mated
I Much depends upon The election for
members of the General Assembly, as
that body will elect United States
Senator to succeed Senator George GRAY
The Democrats art almost certain OF a
majority in this body and if such is the
case, the reelection OF Mr.. Gray is con-
ceded to be a certainty.
Ii on the other hand, the Republicans
should succeed in attaining majority in
the General Assembly. then there will
be scramble for the Office. which is con-
sidered one of the highest within the
gift OF the people Of any state.
The feature OF the undercurrcnt talk.
in case the Republicans win out, which
is hardly deemed possible, is the revival
OF TIE Massey element in the politics Of
that party. This party, it is said. is re-
garded with suspicion by both the
Regular and Union forces.
To begin this fight the Massey ele.
ment have State Senators George +.
Pierce and John G.. Moore. George H.
Hall and Daniel Burton may also be
named in this connection. The Glove
icast-" held by the Regular and Union
forces in the three counties ui the state,
appear have been made in good faith, but
the question is whether or not one or the
other will not break mp the planned
schemes oi the leaders OF the two fac
tOns.
II this is done the Massey party will
join forces with the Regulars, it is stated.
and pull the strength "f Judge James
PennewilI, from the tnirni>ts by max
Ing the Judge the choice for senator. but
as he is more than satisfied with his pre-
sent p sition the break in reality will
mean the election OF George Y. Massey.
Another important factor in this fight.
should the Republicans win, will BE- Fred
Eden Bach. and whilst at this time it il
claimed that Mr.. Bach j. dead politically
through his connections with the '''it.
Together club. this claim does not hold
good, and this he will prove to the en-
tire satisfaction OF his followers when
the cherries are ripe for the plucking.
