Evening journal., 1889-04-18


Solicitor Turner fell under his particular
care and for once in his life the calm city
solicitor was non-plussed.
J. B. Ecclesine congratulated the people
upon hearing Mr. Smith Of Boston. II
is not to be supposed that the Council Of
Wilmington are employed. He jumped
into ''Mr. Smith OF Boston as he termed
him, with both feet, and soon had him
angry. He said the manufacturers OF
Wilmington were frightened by the cleo
tricians of Wilmington.
Mr.. Turner then took a chance at Mr..
Smith. and he went into him This Is a
serious matter. he said, ''to be consid-
cred carefully, and not by the antics of a
clown. If there is any universal desire
among the people of Wilmington not to
have the wires they have had time to
flood this Legislature with petitions.
You, gentlemen, do not represent all
there is in the city Of Wilmington. The
great class of the people of Wilmington
are the laboring men who pay the taxes.
James Bradford said the people OF VIII
mington did not want the change.
Professor Barrett was called upon and
replied that IL was entirely immateral to
him how this matter Is decided. It was
alleged If come here it would prove the
Chicogo system was failure. l put in
iifty-two miles in Chicago last year and
It did not cost as much as IL is estimated
the Wilmington wires will. There are
8, 900 miles of wires under ground IN
Chicago and IL Is very successful.
