alton as before, and Harris VI n
elected from the rooms oil the de.s

POLITICAL.
:. NOTES.

The political middle in bella
ware today is as much of a guess
as ever. The Democrats are not a
united party by any means. The
Democrats;w no voted against Bryan
IN 1897, are not ready 10 vote for
him this year. They do not believe
he is a safe man to be instructed
with the office of President of the
United States. Then they have
not faith in the leaders in this
State, who are after the loaves and
hshes. The old leaders in Della
ware have this year taken a back
seat and men new TO the party as
leaders have assumed the leader
ship, with the hope of political re-
ward which they are struggling
after with all the means in their
power. The silver element has
completely taken the leadership
out OF the hands Of the older Demo-.
Gratis who have stood at the head
OF the party in this State for years.
These men we're all absent from
the Democratic convention, which
met at Dover on Tuesday last. Z
There was no enthusiasm as of B
yore and no wrangles worth spe ak
ing OIL Everything had been cut
and dried and was put through
under the majority rule. The mi
nor'ty were completely ignored and 1
they quietly withdrew in theirI
shells and said nothing on the floor
OF the convention. but they had
something to say after the conven-
ton, which showed that they were I
perfectly satisfied. l.. Irving not I
Handy is now posing as the leader ;
in New Castle countyandhe has the \
support OF Willard Sauls bury, who
it is said llsbe the other United \
States Senator if the Democrats
carry the Legislature.
John G. GRAY is one OF Mr. Han.
dy's ablest lieutenants and having
received several votes at the hands
OF the members Of the last Legisla.
turc is also politically ambitious to
be United States Senator. If we
mistake not the signs of the times.

years before the Senatorial lieht-a
