county.
For State Auditor of Accounts-J.
Thomas Lowe of Little Creek, Kent
county.
Truly it can be said that L. Irving
Handy was defeated through opposition
that bitterly cropped up from delegates
in his own county, where he was sup
posed to be the strongest, and to have
nearly a solid delegation at his back.
Led by Thomas Davis of Wilmington,
some of the New Castle county delegates
not only opposed the selection of Mr..
Handy as the nominee of their caucus,
but they carried the fight against him in
the open convention, where Mr. Davis
seconded the nomination of Mr.. Houston
for Congress. 1t was sweet revenge OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Davis, for political treach-
cry he and some Of his friends attribute
to Mr.. Handy two years ago in the Dem
ocratic state convention, when the guber-
Material nomination was made.

years ago. he had worked in Scranton,
Binghamton, Buffalo and Niagara

the Buffalo press speak of the high
