There are rumors of changes in the
Addicks list Of Kent county candidates
for the next General Assembly, and the
Union Republicans are now discussing
the coming candidates and the canvass
they will make. It is understood that
o. DIR. Moore, OF Smyrna, viii be nomi-
mated for the State Senate, instead of
for a reelection to the House. and
that Joseph Smithers, of Smyrna, will
be chosen to succeed Or. Moore in the
House Dr. Moore has all along de-
lclared his preference for remaining in
THE House, rather than serve in the
higher body but other men, it is said,
haye determined differently. IL is also
STATED that Hervey Dexter Learned will
be placed in nomination as representa-
tive from the Second district, as ii is
/ feared that William ID. Denney, whose
name was first mentioned, could not
lcevote a sufficient amount of time to
the canvass.
There appears to be q desire on the
,fRt'N vi AhA NgANAog b'A'O-AiA dliAA AAt-
publican, to bring out a better class of
candidates FOR the Legislature. The
latest additions to the representative
list are: Charles A. Rudolph. for the
Second district: John Bancroft, for
the Third, and William NJ Eastburn.
for the Eighth, Mill Creek hundred.
These three, with W. e. Rothwell, from
I, 1.-THE Tenth. New Caste hundred: w. r.
Finn, for the Seventh, Christiana
hundred and Richard Hodgson, for the
Fourteenth, Appoquinimink hundred.
would represent New Castle county on
the Republican side of the House in a
manner that would not cause the
voters much worry.
In the Ninth district, White Clay
Greek hundred, there is a division of
lOpinion as to The best candidate. There
are some who believe that John
johnson should be the man, because
ihe stepped aside two years ago in favor
lof Chandler. There are others who
would like to see Kinsey Chambers in
the fight Each has q good company
OF friends, and it is to be hoped that
no bad feeling will arise over the mat
liter.
The Democrats believe they can win
in this district, owing to the fact that
there were a number OF removals this
lyear. Chandler had but two majority
1.-TWO years ago. and unless the best
of feeling exists among the Republi-
, leans, Democratic hopes will be real
b ized.
