Bits OF Political. Gossip Picked Up by

Addicks harmony letter has re-
ceived no attention from the Regular
Republican organization neither VIII

would lo foolish for the Regulars TO
agree to the apportionment OF delegates
as the Addicksites would have it. TO
dissolve both State Central Committees
would be a little difficult, as the com
mittee of each faction was elected for
four years, and, having over two years
TO serve, they would all have to resign
before a new Joint State Central Com
mittee could be elected It is customary
to elect a new committee during presi-
dental year. East Side sees some diff
hculty ahead II such a thing should be
tried.
To make the people think that they
arc desirous Of united party, with an
iinIartial modus operandi they may so
so far as to name a prominent Regu-
lar as their congressional candidate,
and then proclaim TO the public, we are
endorsing their own men
The terms of the following Tius-
tees of the Poor have ended: James
b. Toman. Richard Cam, Dr. Frank
Belville, John lawson and Joseph +.
Chandler East Sides prediction of
their Successors is as follows Charles
Groome, Of Newport, to succeed Mr..
Chandler: Robert Fraim or Robert
Kemp, of Wilmington, to succeed Mr..
Lawson; S. Atwood Stewart. e. L. VIII
son or James NJ Wise OF New Castle,
to succeed Mr. Toman; John Stuckert
or Hachariah Harris to succeed Mr..
Cam. Trustee George Roberts, OF Bran-
dywine hundred. is also out because
he has removed from the district.
Frank Sterling, Of Rockland, may sue
ceed him.
New Castle hundred is well repre-
sented i'm the fight for almshouse trus-
tee and superintendent William Etchell
and Joseph II. King. are appl-
cants for trusteeship but as neither
contributed towards the nomination Of
/ Levy Courtman Megglnson, there APP
pears 40 valid reason why they should
expect favors.
Both of these gentlemen exerted
themselves to have James b. Foster
the Addicksites candidate. nominated
in place of Megginson.
Foster now is an applicant for su-
lperintendent and IL is said that former
Sheriff john b. Taylor is using his pO-
litical knowledge and persuasive pow
ers to have him appointed East Side
understands that Mr.. Taylor will be
after the place himself and now is us
ing his influence with certain members
OF the Levy Court and Clerk of the
Peace Quigley to have appointed suoh
members as will be pledged to himself
or Foster for the superintendency
! Levy Courtman MegginsOn will cui
some figure in The calculations of Mr.
Taylor and Mr.. Foster, as he appoints
three Of the new trustees-the one from
New Castle, the one from Red Lior
hundred, and the one from Pencadel
hundred. Both Foster and Taylor dit
their share toward piling up a vote ii
l Opposition to Mr.. MegginsOn. and tlhii
fact is not supposed TO have made Z
favorable impression on him. Con
lseQuemtly, the appointees Of Mr.. Meg
ginson undoubtedly will be instructed
not to vote for either of these two gen
tlemen.
Mr. Taylor, no doubt, has the abilit!
Ito run an institution OF this kind. bu

would then be for naught
Besides Messrs. Taylor and Foster
