herculean work against Ford. Then
Senator Gray's influence in the lower
counties was against Ford. In
many instances it was welded ST.
lently. but none the less effectively.
AS soon as the convention hall
was opened the crowd swarmed in.
In moment every available space
was occupied The Wilmington
Ford men, knowing the result of the
Sussex caucus, were in an ugly frame
of mind. But they resolved to sink,

nolds went in without opposition,
although he was known to be in
favor of Ford. The anti-Ford men
were content to poll the vote. AL
most as soon as the governor had
gone on the platform the mob broke
loose with cheers for Ford. Mr..

Reynolds ruled with an iron hand
He was the ideal man to put
through programme.
In his opening speech the COVER
nor referred not to the vital issues
that confront the two parties. Bryan,
free silver and the Chicago platform
we're not to Ue Tin it," 1t was evil
dent that a compromise had been
agreed upon and the Delaware Dem
ocracy would not be in sympathy
with that of Chicago. The conven-
tien was to result in a curious hodge
pOdge, void on the issues.
John F. Salisbury had read the
humble and guileless platform, say
ing that it was the result of a COM
promise to harmonic all factions
and differences that had been caused
by the silver question. Sudell was
on the resolution committee and
had kicked up disturbance in at
tempting to have a land-stealing
plank inserted in the platform. He
was thrown down.
After John F. had read the reso-
lutions there was a noisy call for the
minority report Mr.. Salisbury
protested and said that as the reso-
lutions were the result ola comprom-
Use there could be no minority re-
port The chairman ignored Sudell
and the latter did not know what
struck him. Il was his first exper-
fence in a Delaware Democratic con-
veutiOn. He was dropped with a
dull and solemn thud by the chair
man. The other time was after John
H. Rodney had been named for
Presidential elector. A cry of"gold- |
bug" rent the tumult-laden air and a |
division was called for. John F. |
Salisbury looked disguised, but the

Acquiring Spanish.

The relations of the United State:
with the South American States
must inevitably grow closer with
the advancing years The means OF
transit are increasing, and that large
class VINO have the leisure to travel
will be drawn more and more to the
lands of our Southern neighbOrs.
Particularly will this be the case
with respect to Mexico. Situated
along our Southern frontier; easy
of access with charming climate,
especially in the plateau region
where spring perpetually reigns and
where owing to the remarkable dry
ness and purity of the atmosphere
pestilence never comes, it naturally
invites and attracts the traveller.
1t follows that with the increase
of intercourse between the peoples
north and south of the Rio Grande
there should be increased mutual
acquaintance with their respective
languages. With the Mexicans the
acquisition of English has already
begun 1t is taught in private
school and to greater or less extent
in the public schools. Many of their
educated men both read and speak
it, and In social life the American
finds that it is equally an accOmp-
lishment Of their wives. We doubt
if the same attention be given in
this country to the study Of Spanish
as is given in Mexico to the study
or English. Spanish is one of the
languages taught at West Point, but
it ought to be generally taught. As
we have said. our intercourse with
our Spanish American friends and
neighbors is likely to increase
in the future. To facilitate that in
tercourse and to add to its agree
ableness we ought to speak orr
neighbors' language.
1t is the language Of Cervantes
and LIE Sage, of Lope de Vega and
Calderon de la Barca, and enshrines
a noble literature Besides, our
Spanish-speaking population is grow
ing ard. even as a convenience to |
the business community, the acqui-
sition Of this language should be an
object of interest. 1t is said that
Shakespeare knew no language but
English and Demosthenes no Ian
guage but Greek. But the Amer
can traveller in Mexico. and the
American dealer in merchandise at
lone, will not be apt to imbibe the
genius of the poet and the orator by
initiating their defects. On the con-
rary, they will, respectively, add to
heir pleasure and profit by avoid
ng them.
Apart from the coast lands which
re extremely fertile but unsuited

'assed as an agricultural country,
nd for the most part produces two |
rops a year. Northern Mexico is t

MARTINS Believing.

The ex-Congressman proceeded in
low voice and some one called
louder, to which the Colonel said
"You will hear me before l gel
through"
And they did hear him. Soon the
colonel warmed up. Then he roared
like tremendous tornado and fairly
shook the walls of the building. His
believing appalled, the mob. II was
only when he talked of how horrid
it would be or poor old Sussex to
be left a victim of Addicks's Doodle,
declaring that Sussex would be car
ried for Democracy if Tunnel were
named, that a Kent county man
called Eyes, if Sussex doesn't sell
out, as she usually does !"
After the nominations another din
arose. 1t was frightful. A carni-
val of abuse and fist-shaking and
swearing followed. The chairman
named tellers, but the convention
would not have them. Order was
brought out of chaos by Biggs, Sauls
bury, Martin and Causey acting as
tellers. Some wanted to vote by
delegates, but it was decided to vote
as individuals. 1t was seen that
Ford was beaten. The benign idea
of nominating Ford for Congress
then entered the placid mind of Pat
rick Neary. Mr.. Neary proposed to
name Ford for Congress and walked
up to Salisbury to make that sug-
gestion.
Neary was like a red rag to the
Ford bulls and his approach to Sauls-
bury was the signal for small sized
riot. The Ford men thought he was
going to tamper with the votes. |
They yelled "Put him out - "Kill |
linn y Mob him !" "Get away, Pat
Nearyp and other loving express
lions. One man laid hands on Nearv,
others crowded around him. Mr..
Neary was cool. But he was jostled
nd cursed and threatened. Finally
hickey led Neary away out of the
rowd that had gathered around him
N the platform.
The announcement of the nomi.
alton of Tunnel was greeted with
furious volley of Kisses and curses,
nd a scattering cheer. "Take ev-
rything." eve protest" Rurrah

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. June 2S.-To-
morroW's Democratic state convention
will be the largest ever held by the
party in this state. The city tonight
is filled with the Democracy of Indiana
and all are bowling for Matthews and
free silver. The only contest with the
gold sentiment has been in this, the
Seventh, district, where the gold men
succeeded in electing their committee
on credentials by recognizing in the dis
trlct meeting none but those holding
the credentials issued by the gold
county organizations. The silver men
protested, as eight of the ward dele
cations are being contested by them,
but their objection was without avail
and the gold men proceeded to select
their national delegates. The silver
men selected their men and will con-
test. AS the convention will be for
free silver by large majority, the
silver delegates will probably be
seated. Silver has carried the Democ-
racy of Indiana like whirlWind and
delegates will not support a. state can
didiate who is not pronounced in his
views in favor of silver. The platform
will be brief and will be unequivocal.
Silver men will take pride in making
it vigorous.
They will go to Chicago in great
numbers to urge Matthews nomination
and tomorrow the endorsement of the
governor is expected to be one of the
most lively scenes ever witnessed in
the state,

INSURGENTS CAPTURE A BOAT.

HAVANA. June 2S.-On the Rio Hon
do, in Trinidad district of Santa Clara,
the insurgents captured a large boat
with provisions. An expedition of 100
f1libusterers landed in the Cardenas
district. 1t is understood that most of
them are Americans. Later advices
from Cardenas show that the expedi-
dltfon which recently landed on the
beach of Camacho in that district was
protected by a numerous band of in
surgents The troops, however, at
tackled the enemy and inflicted a loss
Of twenty-three killed. The column
also captured a great number of Maus-
er rifles and many boxes of ammuni-
ton. They are still in pursuit of the
insurgents and further details are
awaited.

Will Be Hampered by the Closing
Down of the Leadville Mines.
DENVER, Colo, Jure 23.-It is gen.
orally understood here tonight among
those interested that the operators Of
the big mines at Leadville, at their
meeting there yesterday, decided to
close down their properties indefinitely
as a result of the strike. This means
that the big pumps which drain many
of the mines will be drawn and that
the operators will listen to no overtures
from the strikers. So far no official
statement has been made by the OPP
orators
The closing of the properties at Lead
vile will seriously hamper the state
smelters and may cause those at Lead
vile to close. Denver smelter men
do not think they will have to shut
any furnaces, however, as the same
class of ore needed from Leadviile,
particularly iron and lead, can be laid
down here from Montana.
