THE election in Delaware was
Waterloo to the democratic party
in more ways than defeat at the
polls. The people of Kent and
Sussex Counties have emphasized
the fact that Mr.. Willard Salisbury
is no more to their liking for a
senator than is ex-senator Richard
R. Kenny and they will have none
ofthem. The cutting on both SD
of legislative candidates has made
a deadly feud which will be fell
for years to come in the democratic
party. Mr.. Salisbury as a demo
cratic leader in Delaware is bacl

TO-DAY at Dover the temperance
people of Kent County will make
a vigorous fight against licensing
a hotel at Wyoming, and against
licenses in other places. The
people of lower Delaware are de-
handing of representatives and SEN
ators the opportunity to exercise
the privilege accorded them by the
new Constitution to vote on local
option. While the sentiments in
favor of submitting the question to
the arbitrament of an election is
increasing, the radical temperance
people missed an opportunity to
secure the necessary signers among
the legislative members by
exacting a pledge before election.
The contest will be carried on un-
til the temperance folks get the
subject before the people in Kent
and Sussex Counties.

that only five persons were necessary
under his plan to hold a convention a.
that was the same number necessary

convention. Later enough enthusiasts
arrived to make I'D an even dozen and
the convention was called to order IA

SHORTS ARE SQUEEZED.
Everybody Turned Bull on the
Corn Market.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Shorts in the corn
pit were squeezed badly today and
raised tumult that closely resembled
the recent scrimmages when John w.
Gates and his clique of bulls had July
corn cornered. The action in the pit to-
day was largely the result of the earlier
maniVulations. When the Gates crowd
was pushing prices skyward the farmer
took hand in the business by sweep
ing his bins clean of corn and flooding
this market with millions OF bushels.
AS a result the corner collapsed and
prices fell headlong until September
corn recently sold at SOC. From rampant
bulls the crowd had turned bears to g.
man and sold short many bushels. Now
the corn to fill September contracts is
not in sight. The bad weather has re-
tarded the maturing of corn crops until
there has been talk that crops may not
be harvested unhurt by frosts. Under
such conditions shorts want to cover
their contract but holders of the grain
are loath to sell.
At the opening Of trade today every
body turned bull.
English markets were advancing
strongly. Cash stuff was leaving this
market at a good premium over Sep
