LYNN AND HIS TROUBLES
Armstrong Men Will Slaugh-
ter Him in the First.
AN INTRIGUE IN BRANDYwIEE

REGULAR REPUBLICANS CON-
sPIRE TO DEFEAT THE ADDIcKs
TICKET IN BRANDYWINE HUN
DRED-FRIENDs OF r. LEWIS
ARMSTRONG DECLARE THAT
THERE LEADER WAS COUNTED
OUT.
The First Levy Court district, com
prising Brandywine, Christiana and
Mill Creek hundreds, is, under ordi-
nary circumstances. assuredly Repub-
lican. But this is an extraordinary
election year, and there is strong
possibility that John Lynn, the Repub-
lican ominee for Levy Court commits
sloner. will be defeated by Abram Pal
mer his Democratic rival
This is not because a large number
of Republicans have become Demo-
Gratis, but is due to the great personal
popularity Of Palmer, and the dissatis-
faction which the nomination of Lynn
has aroused among Republicans IN all
parts of the district.
The other candidates for the nomi-
nation secured by Lynn declare that
he was counted in by machine meth
DDS, and they do not propose to sub
NIT TO II, especially when Wilmington
manipulators operated the machine.
r. Lewis Armstrong, the present In
cumbent, has a host Of friends in the
district, and they are up In arms
against Lynn because they declare that
Armstrong would have been the nomi-
nee had he been accorded fair treat
ment and an honest count Many Of
them have already openly declared for
Palmer, and many more are quietly
working to effect his election and
Lynns defeat. Friends of Lynn know
that their leader is in danger, and they
are working early and late to save him.
The Democrats of the district, encour-
aged by the attitude OF the friends OF
Armstrong and the other defeated can
didates for the nomination, are maxi
ing unusual efforts In Palmer's behalf
One OF the best OF Armstrong;
friends was in Wilmington yesterday.
Lynn is no good, and 1t won't be
our fault II Palmer does not beat him,
he said TO an Evening Journal re-
porter "He was counted in and Arm
strong was counted out. Wilmington
politicians worked the scheme for
Lynn, and we resent such outside in
reference. Armstrong has made an ex-
cellent official and should have been re-
nominated. / am but one OF several
hundred who think so, and John Lynn
well knows Il. There isn't a man in
New Castle county who started out 10
get. by hook or crook what he regard
ed az sure thing and who found 1t
such an uncertain thing after ne got
IT,"
To add TO the Rept hlican and Ad-
dicks troubles in the Firs district, the
Addicks men from Brandywine hum
dred declare that the regular Republi-
cans are laying plans to defeat ,the
hundred ticket. They have a club of
thirty-ave members. Two years ago
the Republican majority was 1876, but
fifty votes were lost by the annexation
of East Lake to the city of Whining
ton. Thus IL will be seen that the Re-
publican majority is cut down to sew
enty-fve. and that thirty-five deter
mined Republicans could very easily
upset IL.

THAT'S WHAT JOHN G. GRAY

DEMOCRATS.

THAT'S WHAT JOHN G. GRAY
CALLS THE SOUND MONEY
DEMOCRATS.
That the Democrats who are stand
ing fast by the principles represented
by Bryan and Sewall are deeply in
terested was shown by the gathering
at Fourth and Shipley streets last
night, to attend a Democratic rally.
The night was very and that fact
interfered greatly with the success Of
the meeting. The chief detriment to
a large meeting, however was the big
fire, which drew thousands of people
to its vicinity
On account of these disappointing
facts Hon. Stilson Hutchins, OF New
Hampshire, and Hon. Andrew Liscomb,
of Washington, who were to make ad-
dresses, did not speak.
There was a crowd of several hun
dred people at the appointed place,
however. and John G. Gray, of Bridge
vile, delivered a strong address to the
people on the issues of the campaign.
Mr. Gray did not make any attempt
to deliver a lecture, but confined him
self plainly understood terms ex-
planning the political situation. He
freely explained questions which were
addressed to him.
Mr.. Gray got or several bright
things which stand good show of be-
coming slogans of success for the
Democrats in Delaware. He designated
the Palmer-B -Buckner National Demo
Gratis as the Mckinley Aid Society, and
stated that there were only two issCes
in this campaign. One is Mckinley,
Monometallism and Misery; the other,
Bryan, Bimetallism and Bread-and-but-
ter.
Mr. Gray was introduced by Howell
S. England.

FOR LAW AND ORDER.
\ DELEGATION URGES CITY
COUNCILfEN TO PROTECT THE
YOUTH OF WILMINGTON.

A DELEGATION URGES CITY
COUNCIBMEN TO PROTECT THE
YOUTH OF WILMINGTON.
After the session Of the City Coun-
ell last night a delegation of members
of the Law and order Society waited
on the members of the body. IT was
composed of Mrs. Frances Garrett, Miss
Margaret S. Hilles, Mr.. and Mrs. A. d.
Warner, Bishop Coleman, Rev. George
c. Hall. Samuel c. Biddle. Charles M.
Curtis, Mrs. Lafayette Marks, Mrs.
Mary Taggart. Joseph Swift, William
S. Prickett, Rev ID. J. Flynn and
others
Bishop Coleman was the spokesman.
He explained that the object of the
visit was to bring to the minds OF the
councilmen the ordinance that was re-
Gently brought up before that body,
which was aimed at the immoral per-
formances which are being held In the
theatres of Wilmington. He continued
that he did not know where the ordi-
nance was now or what would be done
with it. The bishop called attention to
the fact that the police force was in
sufficient to properly parole the city,
let alone TO prevent the immoral shows
that are now held. From good au-
thority. he stated, ne had received in
formation that boys of and years
attended these shows Women would
not attend them. and he thought that
shows which no women would attend
should be prohibited.
Rev. George c. Hall, Alfred d. Wdr-
ner William S. Prickett, Miss Margaret
S. Hilles. Mrs. A. ID. Warner, Rev ID. j.
Flynn and Charles NJ Curtis made
speeches supporting the object.
Mayor Jeiferis spoke in defence Of
the councilmen, in which he stated that
he thought IL fair 10 defend them from
seeming insinuation that they were not
considering the matter in the right
light He said that he was aware that
there was an ordinance covering GER
tain immoral deeds, and he thought
that the present ordinance could be
made TO cover the ground

NEGOTIATE THE PURCHASE OF
THE LAW PROPERTY.

THE LAW PROPERTY.
At tho meeting Of City Council last
night the city treasurer reported the
balance in the Union National Bank to
be $53, ,959.63; in each of the depository
banks, $24, 900: special park fund, Si3,-
$50. He reported having received the
following amounts: S. S. Adams, Jr..
S.o-.io; L. r.. Grub, $3450; Eugene M.
Sayers. $425; Edmund Mitchell, Jr.,
81 600; Isaac c. Pyle, SAILS depository

The report OF the superintendent Of
the crematory showed that 1854 tons
OF garbage were consumed during Sep
tember, and that 12,0SS gallons OF oil
and fifteen tons Of coal were used.
An order for Sl1 ,160.79 was drawn in
favor of l.. b. Jones, treasurer Of the
Board Of Public Education.
Mr.. McNulty moved that the matter
OF purchasing the Law property for
park purposes be referred to the Law
and Finance Committees, with power
to act. He explained that the reason
for his motion was that the property
was tangled up at present and would
probably have to go into the Orphans
Court. The committee thought it
would be best TO have power to act,
and then Council would not have to be
consulted as to every movement The
motion prevailed.

NEW EASTER SUITS.
Proud PossessOrs Displayed Them
Observation-Disclosures Park Opening.

washington street presented a gay and
animated appearance yesterday afternoon,
when thousands Of young girls, attired in
gorgeous new spring dresses and magnifi-
cent bonnets, attended by young men eager
to display their new Easter suits. paraded
up and down the sidewalks. Even the
lowering clouds, which each minute threat
ened to drench the earth with rain, had
little effect upon the promenaders. although
now and then some young woman would
look overhead apprehensively, wondering
If her nice new dress would be ruined.
Those of the immense throng who were
not promenading stood upon the corners
admiring the passing show" and vainly
longing for some place to go and something
to do. A good many expressed the wish
that Fairview and other parks were open.
Augustus l.. Mason, president of the street
car company, was asked when the cars to
Fairview would begin running. He said
that the park is not generally opened until
the first of May. IL the weather remains
favorable 1t may be opened earlier this
season. The park is being prepared for the
summer crowds. and everything will soon
be in readiness to receive them, but unless
the weather grows warm and bright the
park will not be opened for two or three
weeks.
