The election OF lJr. hiram BURTON III
the Fifth Senatorial District is attributed
to the cutting between the gold and sill
yer Democrats.
Bridgeville, 7.45 p. mt is thought
that the Republican majority in tie
Second Representative District will be
about 200, making majority in the
First Senatorial District of 500 for the
Republicans and electing Simeon S.
Pennewill State Senator over Joseph E.
Holland and insuring two Republican
Representatives as well as swelling the ma
jority OF the county and State nominees.
Frankford, 7.45 p: m.-The REPUBLIC,
cans are certain Of victory in Baltimole
hundred, both East and West, and als
positive that they will have majority Of
of 2OO Neither side used money and the
people OF this portion of Sussex are
proud of the election and are able to say
that they have at least seen one election
in Delaware in which money was not the
most potent factor.
Georgetown, 7.45 p. h.-The Regular
Republicans, true to the pledges made
by their chairman, r. g. Houston, did
did their work nobly and stood by Mr..
Houston to the dissatisfaction of few Of
the Massey men and the Democratic.
The Democratic newspapers through
out the county and State have tried to
make it appear that the Regular Repub-
lican chairman stood alone in the fusion
movement. The ballot at Georgetown
to-day will reveal an entirely new state
of affairs.
Lewes, S.25 p. m.-If the reports from
Broakiln Of a Republican are true and
Lewes and Rehoboth hundred gives its
usual majority Tor the Republicans the
Fifth Senatorial District will be Repub-
lican by good majority and insure the
election of DR.. Hiram r. Burton.
Harbeson, $50 p. NIT is an undeni-
able fact that the Republicans turned
out en-masse at tile election to-day and
Indian River hundred will give ma
jority of $50 for the Republicans.
Frankford, $50 p. NIT is not
thought that the fusion Of the Regular
Republicans under William A. Gumm
has effected the results in this hundred
to any great extent and old campaigners
say that the hundred will pile up her
usual Republican majority. Reputli-
cans claim that the former purchasable
vote f1ockep to thm and more than made
up for the number who followed the
Massey men.
Seaford, 7.lO p. m.-The friends of
nominee for State Treasurer Willie M.
Ross forgot Willie and have gone over to
the Republicans, tor ifappearances stand
for anything the usual Democratic ma
iority OF $50 in Seaford hundred has
taken wings and there will have to be
good counting done to enable the Demo-
Gratis to find majority. The Democrats
can't realize as yet that the curtain has
dropped OF the last act of the party in
Sussex county.
Milford, 80 D. m.-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 p m.-Never in the his
tory of "Old Broadkiln' hundred have
the people witnessed 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, is now claimed to have gone
Republican by small majority.
Laurel, 7.45 p. m.-The indications
point to Democratic majority in this
hundred of about 20 or 80. The hun.
dred is close and there might possibly be
a 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 a majority ranging
from 800 to 800.
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 a victory fol
Mr.. Pennewil by small majority.
The Republicans also claim that Sena-
torial candidate in the Fourh District, J.
J. Brazure, will be elected in spite OF the
fact that the Regulars 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 he
elected over Thomas r. Wilson by fair
majority. The balance OF the county
ticket 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 Senators 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 " no will be elect
ed are Mark L. Davis, CT 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.
