While ih e . advocates of no-licenseis were intensely interest ed and more outspoken than usual in promoting the cause, all were kindly towards those who held opposing views. The question was discussed very little in public. The evident and certain tendency of sentiment against intoxicating liquors all over the coun try was manifested here. The cam paign closed with the hig rally Mon day night, but tbe personal work con tinued uhtil the polls closed. Prayer meetings were also held on election day at 10 o’clock at the homes of J. E. Harper,-R. P. McIntosh and Mrs. J. D. Smith, also at the Y. M. C. A. In the afternoon a general prayer- meeting .was held in the Y. M. C. A. Sandwiches mid coffee were served at the association building during the day under the direction of the W . C. T. U. Sunday Night’s Rally I t »was very wisely decided by the committee to- change the place for holding the union meeting of Sunday evening to the. opera house. That building was filled to capacity and then some. There was not room fo r all who came. Quite a number were present who had been lined np with the license and some of them, by standing at the close, expressed a change of opinion. Rev. P. C. Weyant presided, Revs. Wright, Kittredge and Forrester assisting. The singing by the sixty children on the stage was, as always, a pleasing feature. The address by Rev. Grant M. McKnightfeated of the Walton TJ. P. Church was mast erly and convincing, delivered in a fervent and eloquent way. While he expressed intense hatred for the li- quer business, he manifested thorough sympathy and love for the individual who favored license. It was a magni- ficient speech, fully covering the ma tures of the campaign here in D,elhiport Again on Monday night the opera house was filled to overflowing, and following Sunday night’s great meet ing completed the greatest demonstra tion in favor-oftany proposition Delhi has seen. Thelprogram included the ['usual Monday night moving pictures consisting of four reels, the singing of the children, which delighted the audience greatly„ -the splendid and touching address by Inlliam M. Phelps and short speeches by Delhi men. Miss /Phelps spoke quite largely of the results of license and prohibition from intimate 'personal knowledge, and her entire address was one of pith and point and generously ap plauded by the great crowd. Prof. C. E. Ladd of the State Sehool of Agriculture, District Attorney Hewitt, Prof. Kilkenny of one. public schools, E. C. Dean and O. S.

Jt evidently means that ram is forever harred from the townsraf this county, as an authorised articlgyoi trade. This shows the advancement aad moral sentiment of Old Delaware in its true light. The moral element of the town of Colchester manifested wonderful vitality and aggressiveness in winning an uphill fight. They stormed the ramparts of the enemy on every moun tain top and chased the hosts through every valley. ° The Republicans hold|the State As sembly by 45 majority.- Suffrage is defeated in this state by probably 180,000.
