THE FALL CAMPAIGN.

Free SILVER nead Issue In Duck Crock
Hnndren - Union Republicans Trying Go
Lnok Cheerful But Sot Succeeding.
Sletin COrrespuudence OF t'aaettU anu Journal
Smyrna, June G. Every seems
glad that the Legislature has ad
lourned. and already the politicians OF
both parties are beginning to arrange
for the fall campaign. There seems to
be amUng the Democrats here strong
feeling to ignore the money question,
and conduct the campaign on State
issues. Everybody realizes that il will
take a united party to defeat the Re.
publicana, and it would be suicidal to
drive from the Democratic ranks Rome
Of thu best party workers lay inserting
a free-silver plank in the State plat
form. The Democrats of Delaware are
mighty host when they arc united,
and, with the help Of the new Gousti
tuition in tneir onslaught against
bribery, there il eYery indication that.
IL Judgment in used at the convention,
they will sweep the State.
In Duck Creek hundred there is mo-
division in tho Democratic ranks, ann
little Ia hoard of froe silver, which
gems to he a dead issne here. The
workers think ths campaign should he
80 conducted that every Democrat can
consistently vote tho ticket. The old
leaders arc again cunning to the front,
and showing an interest that has not
been soon hero for many year. In
this hundred strong ticket will bu
nominated, one which will DO elected
by an nld-tine majority.
The Union Republicans try TO appear
cheerful. hut they do not possess the
buoyauGy Of snirit that usually charac-
terizeH them at the commencement of a
campaign. The new Constitution has
II depressing effect upon them-thore
will be nune OF Addicks' money to
handle, and consequently they will
have nothing TO work for. All tho
Federal patronage has gone to their
factiunal opponents, and in the cam
paign the election officers will go to
the Regulars. There will be nobody to
look after the Unionsts' interests, and
they are afraid the colorsd hrethren
will return to the party of which "Old
Abe" is the omhlem.

Farmers In Duck Creek Hundred Fear That

Farmers In Duck Creek Hundred Fear That
Crops VIII be Very short.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette aud journal
Smyrna, June 4. Farmers OF this
section are very much alarmed over the
wheat crop, and from all accounts they
have good cause for such apprehension.
Tho acreage is the largest ever known
in this neighborhood, but from present
Indications the yield will be very light.
The rainy weather of the past spring
has had something to do with the un
favorable outlook, but the principal
cause is the Fly" which has done
great damage.
Some OF the farmers in Stevenson q
Neck complain that their wheat will
not be worth cutting, so devastating
has heen the ravages Of the +" fly. -
Until last year nearly all the farmera of
this neighbprhood waited until October
to COW their wheat crop. but last season
few sowed in September aud received
tremendous yields. 1he result was
that every farmer tried TO seq how
early he could SOW. On one field near
here part was seeded in September,
while the remainder was not seeded
until October. Tho part seeded in
September is almost eaten up with the
fly" while the October planting is
not Affected at all. 1t is needless to
say that in the future there will be
very little wheat seeded here before
October.
