Two of the three ricks, representing Mr..
Donahoes crop Of straw, were destroyed,
entailing loss of about 500. Mrs. Cal.

pected and the origin Of the fires are

ing it one of the best entertainments

Republicans here are very much
amused over the yirtuous outburst Of
Willard Salisbury in the E6fzsna an the
political situation in Delaware. It would
be bad enough for any Democrat TO at
tempt even q slight defense OF Democratic
methods in Delaware for the last thirty
years when their victories have ali been
gained by money and iegaii9ed fraud. br,t
for Mr.. Willard Salisbury to attempt 4
defence il simply preposterous. Their

Mr.. Salisbury that there los not been
an honest election in Delaware since the
said gentleman entered into politics.
