Court District
SPEAEMAN FOR PROTHONOTARY
Howard D. Ross, Benjamin A. Groves
and Harry G. Ellison Nominated
for State Senator's

Union Republicans met with signal
defeat at the Republican primaries of
New Castle county on Saturday. Their
candidates were successful only in dis
tricts where they were conceded to
have a majority before the nomination
and in these districts the majorities
were cut down.
The most signal defeat was that Of
Julian c. Walker who was a candidate
for representative in Mill Creek hun
dred He was defeated in his own
district.
The nomination throughout the
county passed off quietly. The cam
paign, which has been an unusually
long one. has been trying for the candi-
dates. They have been so besieged by
grafters and voters that life for them
became a burden. 1t is likely that the
nominations will not be held again in
a similar manner. Nominating in
convention is looked upon with favor
by politicians generally, and the next
County Committee may decide to have
at least a part Of the nominations
made in this way
The county ticket selected is one
that the Democrats will find hard to
defsat
Although a large vote was polled,
and there was much activity among
the candidates to get out the voters,
the nomination was without excite
ment during the afternoon.
In the contest for legislative nomi-
nations George Frizzel, Of Christiana
hundred, was Overwhelmingly defeated
Irr
Clark, speaker of the last House, was
getting three votes for every one for
Householder.
One Of the most spirited contests
was for Levy Court commissioner in
the First district. Here the fight was
waged between r. Lewis Armstrong
and John Lynn. The latter won by a
narrow majority.
Early on Saturday night the returns
from the various primary election dis.
tricts were received by the Evening
Journal and bulletined on its boards
and a canvass stretched across Fourth
street Thousands Of persons gathered
in Fourth and Shipley streets and
manifested much interest as each bull
ietin was posted.
One Of the surprises of the n0mina.
tion was the choice Of Philemms
Chandler for Levy Court commits
sioner The fight was expected tC
be between Frank A. Mitchell, and th'
present commissioner, John j. Gala
CHER Mr.. Chandler, however, haC
made a clean canvass, and got a plu
rality over Mr. Gallagher while Mr.
Mitchell came in third
TWO ARMS BETWEEN THEM.
A remarkable coincidence in TIL
election of the nominees by the Repub
Iicaus and the Democrats for corone
IS that between the two candidates
John l.. F'rick and John McAvaney
they have but two arms. each mai
having lost one. Mr.. Frick is know
to every person who has ever visite,
Newark. He is the driver Of the coael
which runs between the railroad STA
tions.
Not since 1878 has there been tw
candidates for inspector in the Shell
pot, Benson's store and Henry Cla
districts of Christiana hundred De
spite the wishes Of many of the Re
publicans, George Frizzel, the Unio
Republican candidate for representa-
tive, set up a candidate in each an
