ognize Them.
'The visit of Matthew S. Quay, the
great Pennsylvania Republican to Mark
Hanna, in Cleveland,' remarked an
Addicks Republican to reporter of
The Gazette yesterday morning,
"means great deal to the members Of
our faction of the Republican party in
Delaware. Mr.. Quay went to Cleve-
land at the solicitation of Mr.. Hanna
for the purpose of assisting him in
formulating plans for the campaign.
Mr.. Quay is very friendly to US, and
there is no doubt but that he will in
sist on having the Addicks people
Recognized. 1t is our belief that Quay
will induce Hanna TO request the ma
tional committee to come here and
make an investigation, and as the
Pennsylvania is favorable to us he will
no doubt enlighten the great leader
concerning Republicanism in Delaware.
/ believe that facts will he brought to
the attention OF the national committee
by Hanna and Quay which will cause
the committee to repudiate the action
of the committee on credentials at the
st. Louis convention. The Higgins
people had their laugh the y; we will
have our laugh after the Georgetown
convention, or else we have been very
much misinformed.
The Higgins people had affidavits
at St. Louis, and SO had we, but the
credential committee refused to take
cognizance of ours. We had several
which would have proved the falsity
Of assertions made by the Higgins men
and others which showed that all of the
bribery was not on our side of the
house. One was statement signed by
all Of the election officers in one of the
wards whore fraud was alleged to the
effect that the election had been fair,
and the majority of signers were Hig-
gins men. These things the commit
tee on credentials did not see, but it is
likely the national committee will see
them. There is likely to be some fun
yet. and il is altogether probable that
the result of the meeting between Quay
and Hanna will be that we will be
recognized as the Republicans of Dsla-
ware and the Higgins people will be
known as boilers.
''There is similar case in Illinois,
which will also be considered by the
two leaders, and that difficulty may
also be Strengthened out. "

ATTAC8E ED BY A BURGLAR.
A Farmhouse Near Hartley's Corner En-

Handled,

A farmhouse Near Hartley's Corner En-
tered by a Thief-Miss Harvey Roughly
Handled.
Near Hartley's corner, about two
miles from Winterthur, on the W. &
n. railroad, resides Mary E. Harvey,
her father and younger brother. Her
mother died in Pennsylvania about two
years ago. Miss Harvey is prostrated,
the result OF an encounter with negro
fend Thursday morning about
o'clock. At about $50 o'clock Mr..
Harvey left the farm, which is about
10 miles from this city, with wagon
load of produce for customers in this
city. Miss Harvey was up and saw
her father leave the house aud had
gone to bed and was asleep when she
was awakened by feeling hand upon
her throat. When she awoke man
hade her remain quiet and demanded
that she tell him where the valuables
OF the house were kept. She attempted
to cry out, when hand was clapped
over her mouth and handkerchief
thrown over her face. She struggled
hard without avail for few moments
and then lost consciousness, When
she revived she heard noise in the
adjoining room and attempted to call
for help, but her tongue failed to give
utterance to sound. She seemed to be
bereft of speech. She went to her
room and after locking it fell ex-
hausted to the floor.
John Warden and Samuel Carter,
employed on the farm, assisted Mr..
Harvey to load the wagon and after he
left they went to the barn and took q
nap, awakening about o'clock. when
they proceeded to the house. Shortly
before 6 O'Clock they called Miss
Harvey, and failing to hear any re-
sponse, went to her room and knocked,
and failing to hear from her they
forced the door open and found her
suffering from hysteria. DR.. Miller
was summoned and rendered medical
assistance. The condition of the young
woman was thought 10 be critical.
The would-be robber is supposed to
bs man who has lived in that vicinity,
as he apparently knew all about the
premises and the work done there.
The suspect had not been seen for
several days preceding the affair.
After the excitement had subsidized
IL was found that silver watch, with
the initials "M. E. H." Sl7 in notes
and silver, and one paie of leather
boots were missing.

! conventions and notable gatherings ever

wisdom of its acts and that of the peo-
ple's party convention to be held at the
same place and time, depends the vital
question as to whether we can have a
just settlement of this money issue in
our generation. If that issue can be
clearly presented to the voters of the
United States stripped of all minor
political questions and under standard
and leadership which will command the
confidence of the people, it will win by
an overwhelming majority.
"Our friends are urged to push the
work of organization with all possible
vigor, giving no heed to those who
advised waiting the action of the old
parties that contain enemies as well as
friends of our cause. The power of our
organization to defeat the ambition of
the Janus faced politicians, is being
recognized by all parties hence clear-cut

THE Republican party is committed
to the gold standard through the plat
forms of SO per cent of the state con-
