FUNERAL OF Rev. A. D. DAVIS
T. j. Hart thus writes to a George
town paper: ''The funeral services held
IN the NJ. E. Church, Sunday 18th. bv
Rev. Adam Stengle, over the remains
OF Rev. A. ID. Davis, will long be re-
membered by those who heard if.
Right and truth will prevail even after
death.
We can say of our friend that he was
always trying to do-the right. He has
often remarked in our presence that he
wished to die in the harness, and the

Congressman Hoffecker occupies an

him as the representative of factional
interest to which it is opposed. He is
the duly accredited representative from
Delaware, and yet he is not permitted
to make any acceptable recommends

district. journal.
The above statement, of which there
was more, grew out of the fact that
Postmaster General Smith rather than
Mr.. Mckinley, had appointed A. J. Kin
ley, postmaster at Harrington, on the
of Col. Dupont, who
still thinks he is a Senator. 1t was
also found that Col. Dupont had rec
1mmended VIM. Michael Bvrne for
District Attorney, but Col. Dupont
will find that if he is recognized as the
oint dispenser of patronage of Della
ware, the Representative who believes
N being governed by the wish of the
people, will not be ''in it." President
has been made to under
stand this decidedly, nor can he ex-
Dect the support of Delaware in the
next National Convention.
