Not a Question of Public Opinion, hut Of
Assessors aud Collectors.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Times last night wired the
following state political gossip: Several
prominent Delaware politicians have been
here during the last few days and have
been IN consultation among the Della.
wareans in regard to the prospects Of the
Senatorial contest. In conversation they
indicate that while Senator Salisbury is
likely to be beaten. he has strength enough
to make such fight that the friends of
Woleott will be forced to throw their own
candidate overheard and make some new
combination. There is much talk about
the likelihood of Secretary Bayard being
brought 20 the front and becoming the
choice Of an agreement among the bellig-
erents. II has been stated for some time
that Secretary Bayard is disposed to retire
from the Cabinet His election to the
Senate would, therefore fit in exactly
about the 4th Of next March.
Republicans are calculating on some
ultimate advantages out of the complica-
tions growing ont Of the Unsuitable appe-
tite for public place among the historic
families Of the little State and their mon
opoly Of all the offices to the exclusion of
the younger men. Their claim that the
variableness Of the barometer Of public
opinion is indicated by the uncertainties
in majorities and the growth Of the in
dustrial centres like Wilmington in pro
gressive politics and advanced ideas Of
public interest"

time before the bewildered people in the pas
senger coaches and sleepers, none of whom
were seriously injured, could realize the situa-
ton, and, with the train hands, render as
sistance to the unfortunate mon who were
buried in the wreck Finally three men, John
Wiley and John Casey, postal clerks, and
