Peoples party for President of the
United States.
For five days it has been manifest that
of all the leaders of the new party
Weaver was the choice Of q vast
majority, but the peculiar availability Of
Judge Gresham overshadowed his per-
sonality, and ii was not until the dis
tinguished iurist positively declined to
be candidate that the delegates turned
to their own ranks, and, with almost
one accord. selected the veteran Green
hacker as their standard bearer.
Weaver's nomination was effected at
100 o'clock this morning, after an all
night session that was full Of interest
and excitement, An attempt tc stam-
pede the convention for Gresham failed.
Weaver was nominated on the first
ballot, which resulted; Weaver, 995;
Kyle, 265; Page, 1;Norton, 1; Stanford, 1.
The nomination was made unanimous
with hurrah.
Confederate General James G..
Field of Virginia, and Ben Terrell of
Texas, were then placed in nomination
for the Vice-presidency. Field won on
the first ballot, receiving 1888 votes to
554 for Terrell.
General Weaver and General Field
were then brought on the stage and
given an ovation. Each made speech
and at 3 o'clock, a. m, the convention
adjourned sine die.

THE DUPLICATES IN HAND.
Levy Court Completed Its Work Thur
day Night and Handed Over the BooI

Levy Court Completed Its Work Thurs
day Night and Handed Over the Books
Yesterday.
County Receiver of Taxes John T.
Dickey received the county tax duplicate
books from the Levy Court Friday.
The Levy Court committee completed its
work on the books at 1870 O'Clock Thurs
day night.
The duplicate is the most astonishing
contribution to the annals of the Levy
Court of New Castle county that was ever
placed on Office record, and will forever
remain lasting monument to the remark
able genius and attributes of the Repub-
hcan Levy Court administration of 1892.
1t is already matter of notoriety that
the padding which has swelled up the list
TO its present ridiculous figures was the
work OF Republican assessors during the
famous March session of 1891.
County Receiver John 7. Dickey stigma
tizes the Seventh ward assessment as the
worst he ever saw. 1t is incorrect almost
throughout. There is unlimited doubling
up of properties. All this is going to de-
velope great deal of official trouble and
annoyance to the taxpayers.
The errors of the Seventh ward, he says,
will be larger than all the other wards put
together.
In regard to the assertion of getting the
books on time and having the receipts
ready it should be remembered that the
work of having the property tax bills
made out i quite amonth's work in itself.
No opportunity has been allowed for that
The order to the printer for the receipts
was not given until Tuesday week, when
the tax rate was announced, The printing
could not be touched until that was
known; Now property owners may have
to wait while their bills are being made
out in all the different items.
II propose" said Mr.. Dickey Fri
day, TO give everybody an opportunity to
pay their taxes. think it only right that
all should have the benefit Of the 5 per
cent rate. | will sit at this office during
July from to and from to s p. m. In
the forenoon we will be occupied making
out the bills to facilitate business as much
as possible and to be ready when the tax
payers call. That is the best plan | can sec
under the circumstances.
The total assessment for this county
footS up SOL sol 900 as against $50, OOO0OO
for 1891. The Levy Courts list Of Will
mington poll taxables is 260S6 of which,
according to these figures furnished by the
committee 300 are negroes. The rural
hundreds number IL ,45S poll taxables.

Sunday Afrernnon,s storm.

Sunday afternoons storm did not
cause damage of any account in the
city. AT one moment it looked as if it
would be a repetition of the cyclone of
Monday week. Four houses were
struck by lightning, Nos. 800, 902, 0o4,
90G Adams street, but none OF the occu-
pants were hurt. The buildings were
damaged TO slight extent. One of the
chimneys of No. 900 was struck and the
bricks scattered all around Beyond
causing some natural alarm among the
residents Of the other houses, the storm
passed away without further trouble
than some cellars being flooded along
Front street.
