Delaware for Bayard.

DOVER, Del, May l7.;-Delaware
democrats favor the candidacy of ex.
Secretary of State Thomas f. Baya. d
for the presidential nomination, and
the state convention today is likely
to give utterance to that sentiment,
unless some official statement comes
from Mr.. Bayard directing the con.
trary. This latter event is more than
likely, as Mr.. Bayard has posed of
late particularly as a firm adherent
to eX President Cleveland. Mr.. Bay
ard has not been a delegate to q ma.
tiOnaI democratic convention since
1872, when he was at Baltimore and
opposed the nomination of Horace
Greedy. 1t Is understood that unless
y positive d~eclination comes, he will
be chosen to head the delegation to
Chicago.

Norwegian independence Day.

NEW YORK, May l7,-Throughout
America today the Norwegians are
celebrating their Independence day.
On May II, 1914. the constitution was
signed by Crown Prince Christian of
Denmark and since that day Norway
has enjoyed a most liberal form of
monarchical government. The great
est celebration of this event Is at
Christiana, which is very near Eds
void, where this Norwegian magma
charta was signed. Here in America
the greatest celebrations are In the
northwest today. Throughout Wis
consin, Minnesota and Dakota special
celebrations are in progress, and the
Norwegians of the far west, including
those in Washington, Oregon and
Montana are ceiebrating the day at
Seattle by q grand picnic to be fol-
lowed tonight by q monster reception
in Ranke's hall.

Not a Harmonious Body.

FRESNO, Cal, May l7,-There is
anything but harmony in the state
democratic convention, which was
called to order at IL O'Clock this
morning by Chairman Russell j. Will
son. The San Francisco faction have
transferred their local fight into the
state camp and 1t is possible that
some lively fighting will be witnessed
on the floor of the convention hall. At
the recent meeting of the state ex-
ecutive committee, it was thought all
differences mad been settled, but the
fight took on a new aspect when the
primaries were held. 1t is believed
that the delegates which will be
chosen this afternoon will contain the
name Of Mr.. Tarpey, who is under
stood to favor Cleveland As TO the
remainder Of the delegates, but little
can be said. In all Likelihood there
Will be no instructions and the plat
form will contain ultra utterances on
the silver question together with q
warm endorsement to the democratic
congress for it's share in the passage
of the exclusion act.

The people the country through, L

many of Clsvelaud's most devoted
