tree and NJ. S. Willard, one lawyer
and the other an insurance agent, and
both men Of high responsibility, as can
didates for the Legislature, to take the
places of the regularly nominated Demo
Gratis. This change was accepted in cX-
cellent spirit by the Democrats generally
although there were some murmuringS
because the outcome was due to a sug-
gestion from Governor Russell. 1t was
supposed that the action of the business
men would permanently ease the situa-
ton. but tonight Governor Russell UNI
expectedly appeared in the city and held
a conference with Oliver III. Dockery,
the Republican nominee for Congress.
This has made the Democrats suspicious.
There are rumors that Governor Rus
sell will. after securing the withdrawn
of the Democratic nominees, place Re
publican ticket in the field or else induce
the Populists to do so and thus offer to
the negro an incentive to vote. If he
does not do this it is feared that he will
appeal to the Supreme court of the
State which has only one Democratic
member out of five, to declare the cleo
ton in Wilmington void on the ground
that the Republicans were prevented by
force from nominating Il ticket and that
the election was illegal, thus retaining
the Republicans in office.
These fears may not be well founded,
but they are aroused by Governor Rus
sells presence, and the tension, which
had grown less strained is again tight
ening. The conservative people of the
city will be heartily relieved when the
election is over. H. l.. w.
