Said Representative James H.
Kitchen, II thought Iknew some
thing about politics, but after l had
been at Dover for month, l found
out that 1knew absolutely nothing.
l never before saw the like of the
down State politicians; their ag-
gressveness fairly took away ones
breath. " He has no desire to ever
return to Dover again in the capac-
ity of a law maker. He has had a
taste of the Kent county atmosphere
and don't like it. Such pulling and
log rolling he never experienced.
In other words, "uneasy is the head
that the election of United States
Senator rests upon.'
The Single Takers intend to put

Notwithstanding the reading out
process of Representatives King and
Clark and Senator Farlow from the
Democratic party, they say they
have no intention of resisning from
the Legislature and the Democrats
might as well save time and paper
in that direction.
Said Representative King: ''The
committee might as well save their
paper. | do not propose to resign,
and in conversation with Dir. Far
low few minutes ago, learned
that he certainly expects TO serve
out his lull term in the Senate. AS
the spirit of Government entities
a man to Il fair and impartial trial, |
we shall make some reply to our |
notification of dismissal from the
State Committee and it's request for
our designations, but what that will
be am unable yet to state
King is the Representative about
whom the papers published so much
as being d bachelor, who received
numerous letters from tine fair sex,
who were willing to change their
names TO King,
ReadingClerk VIM II. Parker. of
the House OF Representatives, said

bling bill was never read bv him.
Speaking of the pay the officers
OF the Legislature received, they did
not keep within the bounds of the
