SUSSEX 'DEMS' PICK
COMMITTEE OCT. 28
CONTINUED from First Pssel

The split in the party occurred on
November s. 1887. following the pri-
mary election on October 30. when
it was charged that Republican mon
ey was used to help one of the fac
tiOns in order to get the Democrats
fighting among themselves. Whether
or not the charge of use of Republi-
can money in that election has any
foundation. the November election.
1888. throughout the county. plainly
showed that the Democrats were di-
vided and as result lost control of
the General Assembly. The Demo-
Gratis contend that had there been a
united party. Governor Richard C.
McMullen would have had a Legis-
lature backing his program the first
of this year.
Two years ago there were two
county executive committees func-
tioning, both at loggerheads. The re-
suit was that the followers of each
of the committees did not bulge an
inch.
