THE OUTLOOK.

lhe DemOcrOttc Chalrmen have SOme-
thing to Say About the Future.
County Chairman Patrick Neary of
the Democrats has consented to make a
prophecy on the result of the election
on the legislative ticket in this county.
We are absolutely eure," be said,
"of three Representatives and Q
Senator IN Wilmington and will elect
10 Representatives and two Senators in
flew Castle county, This leaves five
Representative for the Republicans.
The latter have three holding over
Senators-Knox, McFarlin and Blakely
and the Democrats have one holding
over Senator Hart Three Senators
are to De elected this time.
Chairman Neary comedies the Re-
publioans the Senator from the Fourth
district and claims the Senators from
the Second district, this city, and the
Sixth district. His estimate leaves the
Republicans only five members of the
lower house as against 10 at the last
session. With such q record carried
through the State the question of

method, Democratic majority.
The great work of the county COM
mittee now is to urge the Demo Gratis
who have not already registered to do
so on the next and final day, Saturday,
October 2Cth. To secure a full reglstra-
tion, no less than 300 Democrats are ut
work in Wilmington.
Chairman Neary does not believe that
all tho RapuhI ina m n raoicfar bn-
cause, he says, there is lois of dissatis-
faction with the harmony situation.
some Republicans feeling that John
Hum, who was placed on the ticket
for governor, is an Addioks man
which he is" added Mr.. Neary.
IN KENT COUNTY.
Chairman W. L. MacFarlane of the
Kent County Democratic COMMITTEES,
is averse to making an estimate prior
to the completion of the registration.
Two years ago it was carried by the
Republicans by majority of $50 and
they are now claiming 300. ETheH the
Republicans had two out of five Sena-
tors and six out of 10 Representatives
the Democrats three Senators and four
Representatives. Two Republican and
one Democratic Senators hold over.
Two thousand persons have yet to
qualify, and that number plays an im-
portant part in the result where the
total vote is only about 1000 or 5000.
Dsmoc'a by displaying their old
time vim, should bring a good report
from Kent. The Republicans arc
divided as to their Representative
nominations, so that the Democrats
have an advantage on this point, only
the Union Republicans are so much
stronger than the Regulars that the
Addicks people may capture some dis
tricts again in spite of regular Repub-
lican and Democratic opposition.
The colored vote In Kent is large, in
some districts forming half or more
than half Of the total vote. The Re-
publican meetings are held principally
among the colored people. A few large
meetings are held in the towns.
Chairmln MacFarlane and his COM
mittee have made dates for numerous
meetings for the Democrats, and
nothing is to be left undone to redeem
Kent for the Democrats.
IN SUSSEX COUNTY.
Edward d. Hearne, the county chair
man of Sussex, recently estimated that
the Democrats will have thre. Senator's
and six Representatives in the Legisls-
ture rs against two Senate four
Representatives for the Republicans.
AS 10 THE STATE.
State Chairman Willard Salisbury
say s as to the situation in the State
1--WE expect 10 elect the Democratic
electors by fair-sized majority, but 1
