WILMGSGTON, June I.
To the Honorable, the Mayor and City
Council Of Wilmington;
Gcutlemcn-Having heard that there
is proposition III your honorable body
to district this city into two fire dis
tricts, we, the undersigned, tax payers
and citizens, do most respectfully re-
monstrate against such a measure, on
the following grounds:
l, At the present time the depart
ment is one Of the most efficient and
prompt in the country, and has always
responded to alarms with the utmost
alacrity.
>. Thus far six companies OF the de-
partment have voted against districting
the city, and we think that the wishes
of majority of our volunteer tiremen
should be respected.
>. Upder the present distribution OF
boxes, it would, in our opinion, cripple
the department for instance, in some
parts of the city there are only two
boxes to call out the department for
certain portions Of the city.
/. We believe that the measure is de
signed, ultimately, to so cripple the
deplrtment that the friends of paid
departments will urge that it is neces-
slry to establish such a department. TO
which We a"e thoroughly opposed, as 1t
would entail upon our citizens an I'M
necessary expense.
We, therefore, pray your honorable
body that NJ change be made i'll the
present working OF the department.
And we will ever pray.

CONKLING GOING To PIECES.
His Forces Weak and Weary and
Depew Gaining Greatly.

ALBANY, June S.-For the first time
since the beginning of the Senatorial
contest there are tonight indications
that the Conkling line will break TO
pieces, and before the ex-senator has
| been many days Old as II candidate. To
the most careless observer the signs of
| dissolution are already apparent. The
most desperate appeals have been made
to the Conklng men from day to day 10
hold fast and stand together, Reasons
apuear to have been advanced for ask
ing members to adhere to the fortunes
! of the eX-SeuatOrS. They have been
urued to vote tor them from day to day
upon assurances that public opinion
| would soon sustain them, and that the
petitions adverse to COnkiing and Platt
| would be buried out OF sight by those
of contrary nature, which the people,
| in their sober second thoughts, would
| send to the Legislature. The promise
| has not been made good, but instead
attempts have been made to impose
fictitious petitions upon the Legislature
/ and the people, to the disgust Of the de-
ludcd members and the indignation OF
misrepresenred constituencies. The
efforts To hold members to COnklinE
10y the personal appeals on the part
of the candidates are proving useless.
The events OF to-day, the joint convcn-
ton, were the speech OF Mr.. Charles II.
Russel, Of Kings, giving his reasons tor
abandoning COukling and Platt As his
candida ties, and the increase of the vote
of Mr.. Depcw from - to IL. The change
Of Mr.. Russell was not a surprise, but
-. -, ~ Al ~ n ion
of disappointment among the ConkIlng
men as if il had fallen upon them with
OuJ previous notice.
Tile pressure upon Mr.. Russell tc
abandon Conkling las been constant,
and he has only postponed yielding to
! the demands of his constituents because
he hoped that the reaction promised by
Conkting'S friends would really take
place.
Yesterday, when the vote was being
taken. he left the chamber, not being
PREPARED to take his stand at that time.
To-day when called upon to name his
candidate for COnkling's successor, he
rose and asked TO be excused from vo'
ting in few words, SPOKEN with con-
siderable effort TO suppress the feeling oi
embarrassment under which he labor
! ed. His remarks were rs follows;
"On each day when have been pres
cut since this great convention met
have voted for the return Of the late
distinguished Senators. They were my
choice, and my preterment has led me
to give them my support. Without de-
sirlng to make any distinction between
the two gentlemen, | regarded Mr.
Conkling as the ideal Senator | have,
however, just returned from my con
stitucnts, and am convinced by such
evidence as should satisfy any ta'r'
minded person that ninc-tenthS OF til,
