former Republicans have entered into |
a combination with the Democratic
oarty to present the Court House |
offices to the Democrats. The business |
Of these offices has been honestly and !
efficiently conducted. No political
ring" exists there. There is not a taint
Of suspicion against anyone Of the
present officials. All Of them. excepting
Sheriff ellis and Register Bach, ask
for reelection, and II the people OF
New Castle county have any reward
for honesty and efficiency in public SER
wants. they will re-elect Joseph c.
Jolls clerk Of the Orphans Court. ana

There is no doubt that Francis NJ.
Walker, Henry Stafford and James II.
Galloway win be elected register Of
Wills, sheriff and coroner respectively.
by handsome pluralities.

county offices. presents some little dis
cord. In the First senatorial district
Francis S. Bradley ana George w
Sparks. Republicans. aspire to the
senatorship. Thomas +. Bayard.
Democrat. is making an active canvas
for the Office, but it is probable that he
viii be defeated.
/ In the Second representative district
/ Frank Paradee, Republican. opposes
John Stetser Union Republican, and
/ willard S. Meredith. Democrat,
/ for the office Of representa-
/ tive. but as the district is largely Re
publican. IT is almost certain that one
Of the Republican candidates viii be
chosen.
IT, on the other hand. the Democrats
win I'm each Of the districts. the Repub-
lican majority in the State Legislature
Of two years ago viii not be materially
reduced.
