VIII BE Elected.
The City Democratic Executive Com
mittee will meet in the Young Mems
Democratic Club rooms this evening
Ex Speaker of the Senate John p. DonR-
hoe, who is chairman of the committee,
said this morning;
1.-THE nominations have all been en-
d0rsed and we are going 20 elect our
entire ticket. That is my prediction.
There never was a city election held
in which the politicians were so far at
sea as to the outcome" said another man,
who is intimately acquainted with the
political condition os the city. "With
regard to the registration the parties
stand relatively the same as last fall.
There will be a falling of of at least
5000 votes on the municipal election.
There is always a large falling of. The
whole thing hinges upon where this
falling.off will strike. The party which
does the most work in getting out iti
voters will win the fight. / believe that
the Democrats will carry the First
Second, Third, Fourth. Ninth. Tenth ant
either the Eleventh or Twelfth wards
This will give them majority Of City
Council. No man can safely estimate
the vote for the officers who are voted
for the city over.

WASHINGTON, May 25-Andrew st.
John, who was yesterday appointed con
sui at Batavia. Java, held similar Of.
Fl ce during the last Cleveland admins,
tration, and has had rather an unfor
tunate experience in the consular
service. 1t took him long time to reach
his post which was Levuka, on the Fiji
Islands and the salary of the place was
but 81 900 per annum.
Then Congress cut off the salary OF
the place leaving the consul to exist
upon the fees Of his office. He stood
this one year, during which his fees
amounted to 81 and then he applied for
transfer. Accordingly he has been
sent to Batavia where he will again
receive an annual salary of 81, 600.

RUN UP "OLD GLORY.
Movement to Have Washing
ton Street Bridge Opened.
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH OF JULY

Has Been Suggested BY Samuel H. Bay
nard for the Formal Opening Of the
Bridge-Fireworlss Promised.
Washington street, bridge win not be
completed for about a month. Con-
tractor Morrison of the Delaware Con
struction Company told an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter this morning that he
thought 1t would be done in about three
weeks. One weeks margin on this
estimate will probably make 1t about
right.
The contract time expired today.
The agreement provides that the con-
tractors shall pay 500 day for all time
consumed beyond to-day. IL is not
likely that provision will be enforced as
the company would claim that the
county caused the delay by failing to
furnish the instalments of money
required for the prosecution OF the
work
The false work was taken from
under the middle span to day About
two hundred feet Of the bridge has been
planked, this work beginning at the
north end.
When the work is completed the con.
tractors will give dinner to the Levy
Court. city and county officials
and newspaper men. Samuel H.
Baynard suggests that the formal
| opening of the bridge be deferred
until July A. He says that it is ColuIn-
bian year; cities in all parts Of 1.-THE
country are going to have good, old
fashioned Fourth of July demonstrations
There Is no reason why Wilmington
should be behind the others. There are
ten acres of clear park land near
the bridge, with higher land
all around. Fireworks set, off
In the clearing could be = seen all
over the city without danger to anyone.
The opening of the handsome $l00, 900
bridge could be made one Of the features
Of the day. He expressed his perfect
willingness TO support his views by a
liberal contribution towards defraying
the expenses incurred
Last evening Mr. Baynard drove the
length of the new boulevard, and claims
to be the FIRST man TO do It. The hand.
some thoroughfare has just been graded
at cost Of $1,000 It will not be paved
until the gas and water pipes have
been put in. -
