There was another meeting In the Sew
,enth ward wigwam last night OF those
Democrats who are opposing the candidacy
OF Ebe W. Tunnel for governor On Thurs
day night of last week meeting was held
ft which a declaration of principles was
drawn up, criticising the action of the
Dover convention in refusing to nominate
| Peter ]. Ford for governor because of his
/ religious convictions. That declaration
| was signed by a number OF voters. Last
night as many more signatures were OBJ
tadned The meeting was well attended
and every one present was in sympathy
with the movement.
Addresses were made by James McVey,
chairman; William ]. Gibbons John D..
! Kelley and Mr.. Mcnamara. The speakers
dwelt upon the declaration in the paper
signed last week. bringing out the points
involved with force and clearness. Other
features of the situation, not enumerated
In the paper, were also referred to, The
matter of The claim of Sussex county that
It was entitled to the gubernatorial nom!-
nee this year was discussed. One of the
speakers stated that at Woodland Beach on
"Wednesday William Salisbury OF Dover
gave 1t as his opinion that Sussex county
was entitled to the nominee for governor
until the Democrats elected a governor. In
other words II Mr.. Tunnel should be de-
feated this year Sussex county would
claim the right to name candidate for
governor four years hence, and so on in
definitely. That position was combatted
by the speakers. Reference was also made
to the fact that when Richard Griffith was
r.. e., II
of Wilmington he was cut for some reason
or other and, while elected, ran behind the
other Democratic candidates in the matter
OF votes received
One of the speakers analysed Colonel
Martins speech at the Dover convention
as meaning that Peter ]. Ford could posi-
bly, carry New Castle county If nominated
but that he could not carry Kent and Sus-
sex. The point was raised that il Mr. Ford
could carry the Republican county of New
Castle it was strange that he could not
carry the two lower counties, which prac-
tically have Democratic majorities.
There was deep interest shown in the
proceedings and it was stated that the
work begun was to be continued to the end.
A permanent organization is to be effected
at a meeting to be held next Thursday
night Many more signatures to the de-
ciaration Of principles are expected and all
Democrats Of the Seventh ward who are
in sympathy with the movement are in
vited to be present next Thursday night.
There is no disposition upon the part Of
those engaged in the movement to take
any back steps. They are in the fight to
stay. and after d permanent organization
is effected meetings will be held for the
purpose of listening to addresses from
well-known speakers.

of his fortune by close attention to the

Robinson. Afterward he went to New

ditionally but finally tho bulk of the
estate passed into her keeping.

Be Effected.
1t is Said That Tunnel is Willing
to Declare Peace and Make
Concessions in Order to
Save the Democratic
Party From

No one needs to DO very close politip
clan to foel satistled that Ebe w. Tunnel
cannot be elected Governor of this Stat6
without the assistance, and cooperation
OF Peter J. Ford, against whom Mr.. Tupv
nell has In the minds Of many democratic
acted unfairly, by permitting his name I'd
be used, after assuring Mr. Ford and his
friends, that he was not u candidate for
Governor, and on which strength Mr.
Ford went into the campaign.
Our political predictions that Peter j
Ford was the strongest candidate for Cow
ernor in tho State, has proved true, and
that without Mr.. Ford tho party could
not win.
The friends of Mr.. Tunnel and other
candidates smiled at this assertion at the
time, and thought 1t was a very broad one,
Ford against the wishes of the delegates
of New Castle and part Of Kent county,
They have since found out thcir mid.

circumstances fall In line In support Of

Those are facts notwithstanding that

that the danger Is not rs great as may be
expected.

that he is to-day the foremost Democrat ih

Whether or not Mr.. Ford.can control all /
the dissatisfied Democrats in New Castle

ton which Is difficult to answer. |
The root Of contention has grown worry
deep and no time should be lost to stem

Glasgow made the Clyde and the Clyde
made Glasgow" Toward the close of the
last century the true trading spirit had
boon aroused among the inhabitants of the
budding city, and it was not long before
they perceived that if tho community were
ever to rise to enincnce in that direction
the city must become port open to the
commerce of the world. The task was ono
Of hcr"ulean dimensions, butt they set
themselves to it with discrimination Of
purpose which was not to be daunted by
any degree Of difficulty.
Much of the best engineering enterprise
and skill of the world have boon devoted
to the altering, widening, narrowing and
deepening Of the channel according to the
requirements at different parts of the
course. AS specimen Of changes that
have been made during tho progress Of the
work. 1t may be mentioned that when, in
1899, the act of parliament was passed
which deilred the boundaries of tho river,
one OF the most extensive textile factories
in tho country stood in tho line Of what
was considered to lie the best course for
the river to take, and the water is now
deep enough over the site to allow ocean
liners to sail
Many experiments were resortcd 10 gro
success was achieved in the deepening ut
particular places and the confinement Of
the water within thodeSired limits Sever
al of tho obstacles encountered might well
have deferred the authorities from pro.
cccding further had that been possible.
