The Finn Republicans are sore over
the nomination of Paul Gillis for sheriff,
Saturday afternoon, and they openly
charge that it was secured by fraud.
A sore subject with the Finn sup
porters is the negro vote. They bought
up large numbers of negroes, but most
of these commercial colored voters took
Finn money and then voted for Gills
Some of Flinn's supporters have been
busy since the returns were received in
making comparison Of the vote with
that cast at the general election in 1899.
Here are some of the results arrived at :
In the First ward, Wilmington, where
Gillis got u majority of ia, the total
vote, 25S, was within three of the total
Republican vote in 1899.
In tho Second ward tue total vote was
$50, Of which ellis received 3s9, while
the total Republican vote in 1899 was
only 359, or 50 less than Gillis' vote.
In the Ninth ward the total vote was
52S, an excess of 1873 over the vote in
1892, which was 405. Gillis received 90
votes more than Finn.

A pIsa aRAoE no TIE CITY.
The Rattletrap Mail Wagon Collapsed
Isut it is Succeeded by an Even Worse
Looking Object.

The Rattietrap Mail Wagon Collapsed,
sut it is Succeeded by an Even Worse
Looking Object.
The rattletrap which has been used in
carrying mail between the postoffice
and the railroad stations has snapped
the shoestrings and rags which held it
together and is a complete wreck. 1t
fell to pieces Monday, and the knowl-
edge that it cannot disgrace the city
again by being used in the governments
service, filled with delight the heart of
every person who saw its destruction.
This feeling, however, was dispelled
next morning. 1t was expected that a
decent vehicle would be put on the
route, but instead a worse looking, if
possible, wagon has been put on.
The new acquisition is decidedly
ancient. Some say it was built before
style was thought of, and others declare
it came from Noah's ark. 1t certainly
is "beaut." 1t looks something like a
coach with a chopped-off Oglc front.
The last use to which 1t was put was to
meet hotel seekers on their arrival in
town. 1t is profusely bandaged with
string, rope, old handkerchicfs and cast
off shirts, and with tender handling
may hold together two or three days
Even the colored man who drives the
rig is disgusted with it, but it is the best
he can obtain, owing to the low figures
OF his mail carrying contract.

MR.. M'MULLEN's ST4TEMENT
In Regard TO the Application Last Week
for the Removal of Postmaster Stewart
a Straight Denial.

In Regard to the Application Last Week
for the Removal of Postmaster Stewart
a Straight Denial.
Ex-United States Marshal Henry Fl.
McMullen was met on Monday by q
representative of THE GAZETTE and
was Immediately interviewed in regard
to the current charges that he had been
instrumental in the movement made
towards the removal of Postmaster
Stewart and the visit of Postoffice Agent
Arlington to the city last Friday.
"Well," the eX-marshal said, II want
to set straight the rumors or charges
about the proposed removal of Daniel
+. Stewart from the postofiice. heard
about it last Thursday afternoon Just
before left town. But | have been
too busy since or up to yesterday with
Paul ellis canvass TO pay any atten-
tion to the matter
II want the public to know that l
have done nothing nor said anything
looking to Postmaster Stewards re-
moval.
81 never asked any man TO have it
done, nor have | ever written word or
line TO anybody either in Delaware or
Washington concerning this matter.
II never headed delegation to
Willard Saulsbury's office and while
have been in that gentleman's office on
different occasions on business believe
| was never accompanied there by any
body.
"Moreover, | have not been in Wash
ington for now nearly nine years, nor
written a letter there for that time, nor
since | settled upmy accounts as United
States marshal for this district.
II don't go about asking to have
Republicans removed from office.
81 have never before in 40 years of
active political work been charged by
anyone with lack of loyalty to my party
associates.
II was for Paul Gillis and devoted
weeks to his canvass. But l worked
openly and fairly and there is not a
thing | did or said which have cause
to regret or for which l should apollo
gize."

POLICE sIGSAL SYsrEM.
A New Metallic Circuit to be Erected b
the Board of Police Commissioners.

a new metAilic Circuit to be Erected by
TIL. Board of Police Commissioners.
The Board of Police Commissioner:
have just about decided to erect three
new reporting boxes and appoint foul
new patrolmen for service on the force
The boxes will be placed on districts not
now fully equipped with the service
One will go to the Highlands, one al
Silyerbrook and the third at Eastlake
The commissioners are of the opinion
that four new patrolmen are needed fol
police service. The new officers will be
located as follows: One near Washing.
ton bridge, one near Silverbrooll, one al
Eastlake and fourth at Browntown.
The commission will ask Council for an
extra appropriation to make these
changes.
AT the meeting of the Board of Police
Commissioners last Monday the advisa-
bility of improving the police signal
telegraph system was discussed and the
board came to the conclusion that it
would be best to have erected a metallic
circuit in order to obyiate the old
trouble on the wires. Since the erection
OF numerous trolley poles and telephone
wires in the city the induction of the
wires of the police signal system has
become so great during the night that it
is almost impossible for an officer to
hear his own voice in transmitting over
the wire message from the patrol box
to the city hall. The result is many Of
the officers arc compelled to make their
reports at night by telephone TO the city
hall. This proved very unsatisfactory
system to the department and steps
were taken for the betterment of tile
condition of the police telegraph.
The board has decided to erect now
metallic system for telographing and
workmen will be engaged in day or
so to put the new feature of transmit
ting police messages in operation. The
erection of new metallic system will
cost in the neighborhood of $500, hut
the board has decided that the improve
ment will be worth the expenditure of
the extra consideration. John w.
Aydon will have supervision of the
work.
The board received communication
from Charles Glazer asking for the ap.
pointment to the police force in case Of
the selection of four extra men as pro.
posed by the department. The applicant
is member of the Warren Athletic
Club and an all round athlete.
John w. Aydon sent communica-
ton TO the board asking for the allow
ance of horse and wagon to be used in
connection with the police and fire
alarm systems. The matter was re-
ferred.
The board discussed the case Of Officer
James Thornton, who is charged by
Mrs. Mahan with the non-payment of il
board bill amounting to $3s. The board
promised to consider the advisahility of
suspending the officer unless the claim
was in some way liqudated or satisfac.
tory explanation was made TO the de-
partment.
Chief Dolan announced that the force
was ready for inspection on Thursday
afternoon between the hours Of and 5
o'clock. A number of bills were ap-
proved.

There were no incidents during the
afternoon. The election nomination was
4 quiet one. There were no protests
lodged with the county committee in
regard to unfairncss. All the returns
were in by 10 o'clock, but over half an
hour before that IL was understood that
ellis was far away ahead OF his com
petitors.
The main crowds were around the
city committee headquarters at Seventh

tlgures were announced the crowds set
up loud cheering. The noise was con
tlnued for Il few minutes and then all
dispersed for their homes.
THE NoMINEEs.
Paul Giilis, the successful nominee
Tor sheriff, was born in Prince Edward S
Island, Il province of Canada. lie came
here ~ years ago. He is n farmer, and
is definitely removed from everything in
connection with city affairs. His nomi-
nation is distinctively one from the
country as opposed to the city. He is
well known as a most active politician.
Probably few political aspirants worked
moro assiduously than has Gillis for his
future success. In 1876 he was mem.
Der of the county Republican commit.
tee. In 1889 he was elected inspector
for East White Clay Creek, and in 1890
was the successful candidate for Levy
Court commissioner from his hundred.
1t was during his incumbency as mem
ber OF the Levy Court that he started
his sheriffalty candidacy. 1t is remark
able that uf all announcements of
aspirants to that position, none at that
time were so laughed at and criticised
by the members of Gillis' own party,
especially around tie court house, than
the idea that Paul Gilis of White Clay
Creek hundred should aspire to be the
nominee OF the Republican party for
sheriff.
Emmett +. Stidham, the successful
nominee for coroner, resides at No. 42S
East Fifth street. He is about 30 years
OF age and has been employed for sew.
eral years as watchman in the Second
street market. He is one-armed man.

FIGHTING IYORDS.
George II. Hollis Resents Some Declara'
tions Made by Postmaster Stewart.

tiDhs hhuo ny IOStlnhSteF CttWHfLs
Monday morning a reporter of THE
GAZETTE met George Ii. Hollis, who
alluded to Postmaster Stewards re-
marks about the movement of certain
Republicans to have him (Stewart) dis
missed from office, on account of his
efforts in behalf of William r. Finn.
He spoke particularly of Stewards
declaration that letters to this end had
been sent to Washington, and that
George Ii. Hollis had written letter
notwithstanding his denial.
81 want to say right here" said Mr..
Hollis, "that Stewart is a malicious liar,
and publicly brand him as such. Let
him produce the letter, or go into his
hole"
For an instant there was a tinge of
smoke in the air, and just the suggestion
of an odor of burning sulphur. Then
nature appeared 10 smile sefeneiy once

POSTMASTER STEWARDS STATEMENT.
Editor Gazette 1t becomes me
as citizen of Wilmington, as life
long Republican, and as Federal office
holder, to make statement in reply to
the actions aud statements of George II.
Hollis, ex- United States Marshal Harry
McMullen ct al.
had hoped that the victors in the re-
cent contest would have been satisfied
with their victory, and not attempted to
disrupt the Republican party by their
communications and interviews of yes-
terday; but like myself and my friends,
bow gracefully and submit cheerfully
to the will of the majority of the Re-
publican voters.
1t is fact, and 1 can prove it on
creditable evidence, that the charges
against my official actions before Mr..
Arlington Ia postoffice inspector from
Washington while in Mr.. Saulsbury's
office, were instirated and formally
made by George II. Hollis and Harry
McMullen.
Thursday last United States Marshal
Lannan and Deputy Hughes were sent
for to come to Mr.. Willard Saulsbury's
law office. On arriving there they found
Harry McMullen in Mr.. Saulsbury's
private office, giving testimony before
Inspector Arlington.
While they were there George H.
Hollis and David Stevenson came in
and testified against my official actions.
Hugh Mcconnell was, called TO
testify, but excused himself by saying
that he had.important matters to attend
to outside and must be going.
While they were in the Saulsbury's
office the following gentlemen were
present; II. II. Mullen, George H.
Hollis, David Stevenson, Hugh Nc
Connell, Justice of the Peace John
Kelley, John Ponder, A. Carmichael
and Mr.. Saulsbury's clerk.
United States Marshal Lannan and
Deputy Hughes have said that they
were willing to be qualified that the
above statements are true.
w. w. Pritchett has told me that he
is willing to be qualified that he was
solicited by George II. Hollis to go TO
Mr.. Saulsbury's office and give testi-
mony against my official actions, in
order to have me removed at once.
