can party in a short time, and he de.
clares that it is now ''up top the Re

the same proposition which was prac
tically decided upon at The conference
recently held in Dover by General T.
Coleman du Pont and a number of
others who are prominent in the affairs
ofthe Republican party in Kent county.

political situation as he saw it and also
made sOme pointed remarks on the sub
ject ofrefOrm in the politics of this State.
On the former su bject DR.. Marshall said:
"The members of the Legislature
elected from Kent county who left the
Union caucus nominee last winter to
vote for Mr.. du Pont appear to have
arranged for a meeting Of certain Union
district workers with Mr. du Pent at
Dover The visit was much herald
and, ! notice, has since been widely
advertised Its object seems to be
shTouded in mystery.
"Mrd du Pont / understand, ,ex pressed
himself as being ready to do all in his
power to bring about union Of the Rs
publican factions, on a basis Of open
primaries, majority rule, and the denial
o: no mans right to aspire to office :
and, As to the senatOrships, that New
Castle should be given her choice in
the election of one, and Kent and Sus.
sex tie choice of one, wherever in the N
State be may reside. -
