Dry weather ana High Tides-Number
of Boats Not working.
Joshua McGonigle, Of Little Creek,
Kent county, was seen by an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter on Baltimore 4
Ohio train this morning. He had just
returned from Joanna Heights camp
mesting and was on his way to Philadel
phia, where he will complete his vaca-
tion.
Mr.. McGonigle is what might be
properly termed an oyster enthusiast.
IL the festive bivalve has friend in
Delaware it is Mr.. McGonigle. He
works indefatigably in it's interest
There is not legislator who has occu-
pied a seat in the State House at Dover
who has not had the woes of the poor
oyster poured into his ears by Mr.. Me.
Gonigle IL was he who told them OF
the rapacity Of the New Jersey oyster
pirates and got laws enacted for the
protection OF the natural beds and
Delaware oystermen.
Last winter he assisted Victor B.
Woolley in codifying the oyster laws Of
the state and did much 60 make those
laws ineligible.
How are the Delaware oysters getting
along, Mr.. McGonigle2' asked the Ie-
porter, after exchanging hearty hand
shake with the Little Creek veteran
Very poor, very poor, he replied

and so many full tides That is the

1T is a pertinent commentary on the
sincerity of the Republicans that
the State Central Committee Of Colorado
adjourned after adopting an address to
the Republicans OF the state, declaring
that while It was the purpose of the
Republican party Of Colorado to make
silver the paramount issue, 1t was not
deemed best TO abandon the party at
large as on all issues. Aside from
that Of silver, they were In full &C.
cord with the national organization
The result Of the action taken will be
the placing of a straight Republican
ticket in the field this fall and a
fight on straight party lines.
The Republican party took the
silverites OF the West under
It's wing. It treated them to even better
hopes for the future than it treated the
Prohibitionists. It passed consolatory
resolutions and enacted law requiring
the government to expend $4,000, 0OC
gold for their benefit. Now It tells them
abruptly In the hour of their distress
poverty and starvation that though the
silverites can still rely upon a free and
unlimited stock Of sympathy, they must
flock by themselves in the race fol
Office. There is a nobility about tn,
Republican party which is always i'm

GOVERNOR Nc KINLEY has opened his
campaign for the governorship OF Ohio,
with the Presidency on the side, with a
great speech-on the tariff for change.
Governor Mckinley does not wish to
have the tariff applied in Ohio but to
OAio The tariff has nothing to do with
the governorship Of Ohio but Governor
Mckinley has nothing to do with any
thing but the tariff He said: The
principles Of protective tariff and OF
sound currency are opposed by the Dem
oeratic party. These great policies are
to be eversed, and In their places we
will have a tariff for revenue only, a
tariff policy which is approved
by the British Government" That,
doubtless, gives fair indication
