IT is said that Willard Salisbury
would like the position as chairman
of the Democratic County Commit
tee Of this county. This is not al
together to the liking OF the other
wing of the Democratic party who
do not want Mr. salisbury to man
age the campaign this fall. The
Democrats expect to see the Repub-
licaps make fools of themselves and
fight at the polls on election day.
BY this means the friends OF Mr..
Salisbury and R. R. kenney hope
to make it possible for these two
gentlemen to capture a majority OF
the Legislature and fill the two va
cancies in Washington. Both these
gentlemen had the Democratic mem
bers of the last Legislature with
them solid for U. S. Senators,
as the vote showed day after day.
1t is natural that Mr.. Salisbury
should want to go to the Senate and
it is also natural that Mr.. Kenney
should have u desire for Washing
ton atmosphere. But there are
those of their own party in New
Castle County, who do not intend
that either of these gentlemen shall
have that honor if they can help it.
The Every Evening, which is looked
upon as a Democratic paper, is not
favorably inclined toward either
gentleman, and especially to MIR.
Kennedy has it paid its respects.
There has been q strong undercur-
rent among the Republicans Of this
city and county, in favor of settling
the Senatorial question once for all
and fooling the politicians when the
vote is counted at the coming efec-
ton. With two Republican tickets
in the field there will not be as
many candidates present themselves
as if there was only one ticket. The
candidates are the ones who feel
uneasy over the present outlook.

MONDAY. JUNE \. loo1

The coroners jury on Saturday,
after hearing the witnesses in the
Rodman drowning case, rendered
q verdict that the two men came to
their death by drowning, during a
collision between their skiff and the
steam yacht Marietta off Jew Cas-
tie. According to the testimony of
the fishermen at the inquest, the
yacht ran down the drowned mems
skif. II such be the fact the yacht
owner is responsible for the death
Of the two men. There appears to
be plenty of room in the river for
boats of this class without the ne
eessity of running down the fisher
men in their skiffs and when such
carelsesness is shown, according to
rome witnesses, there should be
some redress at law. 1t is high
time there should be some regard
paid to the rights of fishermen.
