Wilmington, Del, March, l3. The

students of Barcelona and other
cities in Spain, war resented by q
large crowd of boys in Smyrna, a
few miles below this city, last night.
More than seventy-five lads formed

Cuba. Almost the entire population

thousand, turned out to witness the

this letter, in the shape Of an editori-
al from Philadelphia evening paper
which is particularly bitter against
Senator Andrews, and protest in the
name of all political decency against
his selection as State Chairman. The
fact that Mr.. Leach should select
this editorial as embedding his argu-
ments in favor of his own election is
taken as an indication of the bitter
contest in which these two gentles
men are engaged. The editorial at
tracted considerable attention at the
time it was published, and some OF
the sentences and accusations are
particularly interesting when used
by one Quay lieutenant against the
interests of another Quay lieutenant
Here is one Of the eXtracts:-
''The one thing upon which there
should be practical unanimity is as
to tho uuworthiness and unfltness of
Senator Andrews, of Crawford Co..
as The responsible director of the
coming campaign in this state"
A PLEASANT PARAGRAPH.
Further along occurs this very
pleasant paragraph, which must
have the Endorsement of Mr.. Leach,
since he uses the editorial as his
campaign document. 1t reads;-
"It (the Republican party) would
cut ridiculous figure making ems
phatic declarations in favor Of decent
politics, reform and good governs
ment, and then calling man like
Senator Andrews to tie front to
direct the battle, to handle all the
resources which will be at the dis
posal of the State Committee, and
which in that case would, without
doubt, be sellishly used to promote
personal purposes.
Again the editorial says, in regard
to his management of the campaign
of 1890: ''Dclamaterism and all that
it implies, and Andrewsism, it was
soon discovered, were interconverti-
BILE terms, and the people again turn
down the Republican party. But
Mr.. Andrews was placed at the
head of the Philadelphia Senatorial
Investigating Committee and the
result has been precisely what might
have been expected, The whole
affair has degenerated into miser-
able and disgraceful factional scheme
which has disgusted every friend OF
municipal reform. Andrewsism was
again illustrated all the way through.
This supplemental performance on
the part of the Crawford Senator
should put period to his public
career. II should make his alleged
candidacy for the State Chairman.
ship this most important year an
utter absurdity."
| The editorial abounds in such ref
erenoes to Mr.. Andrews, while the
pamphlet gotten out by Mr.. 1Ieact

Washington, March 23.-Reports

fight is on for the Republican State

is war to the knife between two OF

letter is written by Mr.. Leach on
State Committee paper, and is
accompanied by printed pamphlet
bearing his picture and numerous
quotations from State newspapers
endorsing the work he has hitherto
done for the State Committee, as
recommendation for his election as
chairman. The letter reads as fol-

and gives the following five reasons:
lst. He is the only candidate rep

mentioned for the candidacy is links
ed in the popular mind with nation
al policy, national idea, national
sentiment or a national measure.
Sd. He is western man and has
behind him the enormous sectional
pressure of western sentiment, with>
out which no Republican has ever
been elected president. 4th. The
opposing candidates have sa.ae OF
them any strength outside of their
own state or section. 5th. Last but
not least, the very fact that Mr..

A Relic OF Indian Days.

An indian scalping knife was found
in tree in Clearield county, a few
days ago. The blade was imbedded
20 feet from the ground, and as the
tree counted l75 rings from the point
of the knife to its hilt, it would in
dicate that the blade had been in the
same position for almost two cen
turies. The stamp on the side of
the knife consists of the representa-
tion of a crown and bottle, and it
was no doubt imported from England
in the early days of the colonies and
was probably traded to the Indians.
