Preparing for the Delegate Election
What MIR. FoOlSs' Candidacy Means.

The Republican County Executive Com
mittee will hold a meeting this afternoon for
the purpose Of making arrangements for the
delegate election 10 the State Convention to
be held in Dover, July 27 IL is not
known what the Committee will do further
than making new appointment ofdelegates
which is made necessary by the addition
of the Eleventh ward to the
city. IL is not known whether the commit
tee Will take any action at all at variance
with the State Central Committee, but
there are strong probabilities that nothing
further will be done than the apportion Of
delegates, because there the duty OF the
County Committee now ceases and the rest
is left in the hands Of the central power Of
the party. zorro n F.
MIR. FooKs' CANDIDACY, Z. -a
A prominent Republican,, identified with
the county committee faction in thought
and desire II not in open faction, said 10 a
GAZETTE reporter to-day that the candidacy
Of Mr.. Fooks meant that an effort was being
made to secure Republican candidate for
Governor who heretofore had been as little
identified with petty politics and faction
fights as the Republican candidate for Mayor
had been. 'The State Central Committee, !"
said he, "want TO nominate Mr.. Curry and
Mr.. Curry is very Objectionable.
He has been q prominent member
Of the Dover faction and will
be positively distasteful to the rest Of the
party. Mr.. FooRs is desired as candidate
by no faction there is no faction such as
has hitherto been known as the Higgins
faction.' Mr.. Fooks, understand meg was
not brought out by Mr.. Higgins. The can
didaey OF that gentleman is essentially a
Sussex county movement. II Is largely due
to certain gentleman in Sussex county,
who has not taken part in politics for long
time and who, ] think, will have something
10 do with the coming campaign. Is he
lawyer! Yes Does he live in Georgetown!
Yes, he does. see you know who he is.
Well Mr. Fooksg has been a Republican and
] tell you he would be governor 1t is just
like the other side to make war upon him."
1t is stated that the anti-State Central
Committee people expect 10 control the
vote largely, great dissatisfaction existing
among the colored men on account Of the
recent Republican policy in Wilmington.
The Civil Service Reform League, a colored
organization, it is understood, will go
solidly against the Bird faction. The negro
vote however, is a very uncertain quantity

rent for them at the rate of about 500 a
month ever since, amounting in all to about

attention of Secretary Folger few months

The Richest Nswsl,oy.

Without doubt the richest newsboy in
the country is Mike Mykens, of Denver,
Col. He is supposed to be worth at
least $4,000, which he has invested in
Denver real estate. He is not vet ready,
however, to retire from business, but
from early morning until midnight may
be seen upon the streets crying ''Boston,
New York. Philadelphia. Chicago, Gin
cinnati. st. Louis and Kansas City
morning papers," In connection with
his paper stand be has a bootblack' 5
chair, which he generally leaves in
charge of an assistant. He sells his pa
pers at uniform price of 10 cents each,
and long experience has made him very
expert in detecting at a glance from
what part of the country any one of the
strangers who throng the streets of Den
yer halls. Bun after that old man
with a white choker and sell him Bos-
ton Herald he will say to his assistant;
or, ''work off a San Francisco Bulletin
on that slippery-looking cuss under the
awning" Mykens is no longer boy,
but he is likely to remain a newsboy for
years to come.

ton of 10000 df'at1skardS, and asking in
grave irony what was the precise degree
of whiskyfaction that qualified one for
admission to the body. The writer of
the article took the view that the only
possible explanation for such gather
ing was that some superzealous body of
temperance men had called the conven-
ton to show the evil effects of drinking,
TO the same purpose that the Greeks
used to hold up drunken Helots as
warnings to their sons.
