-Contlnued from page one }


little interest in those two Offices, and
no candidates have been talked Of in
this end of the state. It is likely that
the lower counties will insist on those
two offices.
The anti-Saulsbury candidates for
delegates won in but one district in
New Castle county, that being in Chris
tiana hundred, the home district OF JO-
siah Marvel, who has been active in the
contest against Senator Salisbury. VIII
mington, as a result of Saturdays con-
tests. will send solid delegation to the
convention for Salisbury. In the
Seventh ward contest. William Coyne, a
vice-president of the dupont Company,
Salisbury supporter, defeated Jere-
miah Coady by a majority Of 100, and
r.. Henry Grier, also a Salisbury sup
porter. won over G.. Dare Hopkins, by a
majority Of 120. In the Fifth Represen-
iative district James ]. Ford, Salisbury
supporter, defeated Elwood Biscoe by a
majority of iii, and John j. McGoyern
won over Daniel X Mckinney by 2O7.
This gives the Salisbury followers
every delegate in Wilmington.
The Salisbury candidates won all the
contests for delegates in New Castle
Mil Creek, PencadeH Red Lion and Ap-
poquinimink hundreds. The hundreds
where there were no contests. named
Salisbury delegations at the hundred
meetings some days ago. The anti
Salisbury men won In the three con-
tested districts of Christiana hundred
naming John DOrmsn, Bruce w. Housel
and Michael MalOney over John j. NC

liam DOugherty The Salisbury lead
ers claim that every delegate from
Rural New Castle county will support
Senator Salisbury with the exception Of
three in Christiana and one in Mill
Greek. which will give them A6 OF the
80 rural delegates and the 10 in VIII
mington, making CT out Of 60 in the en-
tire county. In Kent county 1t is claim
ed Mr.. Salisbury has 56 Of the 60 dele
gates and that as result OF Saturdays
primaries he is sure Of at least 80 Of the
GO in Sussex, and may get as many as
l5 In that county.
As there was no contest for any
office on the county ticket, most OF the
interest outside Of the delegate fights
centered in the contests on the Legis-
lative ticket.

Truxton Boyce, Of Stanton. won out
easily over Alva B. Currinder for state
Senator. by a majority estimated to be

Mr.. Connolly was elected TO the Legis- |
