The election of a republican in Delaware
is more certain now with a gold standard
platform than it would have been before
the adoption Of such R-principle by the
party, but the factional fight there is as
bitter as ever, and was. perhaps, intensi-
fed by the unseating of the Addicks con-
testing delegation.
1t Is generally conceded that IL repubi-

There Is more than fighting chance for a
republican victory in Illinois and Indiana,
where legislatures are to be chosen this
year for the election Of United States Sen
ators. Under some conditions Kentucky
is now classed as not only a doubtful state
but possibly republican, in view of the in
tensely fierce factional fight between the

souri, has been thought of late to be a fair
field for republican effort, and some re-
publican prophets have forecasted the loss
of Mr.. Vests seat to the democratic party
IN the Senate, but Missouri is a stronghold
of silver, and this may have an influence
upon the situation. Nothing Is certain

LOOKING TO CHICAGO.
Considering the Availability Of Teller
AS a Democratic Candidate.

Considering the Avaflab bility Of Teller
AS a Democratic Candidate.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ST. LOUIS, June 20.-It is recognized that
the campaign is to be between silver and
gold with all other issues but incidental.
The belief is that the democrats at their
convention will try to avoid the tariff IN
order to make silver the main issue, and
this will more certainly concentrate the
fight upon the financial platform. The
gold men of the east are eXultant and con-
fident Of victory, and their confidence has
inspired the leaders Of the miadle west.
The silver men who bolted, except Teller
and Cameron. intend to go to chicago to
be there during the democratic convention.
Hartman and Dubois will be there to con-
suit privately with those In the democratic
convention who want Mr.. Teller nominated.
They will not make themselves conspicuous
in any manner, but will be on hand to
answer any questions that may be pro-
pounded as to Mr.. Teller's attitude.
Leading silver men from all parts OF the
country will be there to urge the eXpedi-
ence Of Teller's being made the democratic
candidate. Mr.. Tellers attitude as a pro-
tectionist is regarded as the greatest OBJ
stacle in the way of his nomie elton, ana
his declaration before the ST. Louis con-
vention that he was a protectionist IN
creases this obstacle.
1t is thought, however. by those who are
most familiar with the situation tnat this
can be overcome when Mr.. Tellers position
is more explicitly defined. In view of the
fact that II is INTENDED to make silver the
paramount Issue, some Of the democrats
who believe in the wisdom of rellers seec-
ton among the most pronounced low
tariff men in the party.
1t is significant that these men are en-
tirely familiar with Mr.. Teller's position on
all public questions. 1t is the belief Of the
republican leaders that the campaign will
begin carly and will oe one of the most
active and vigorous that the country has
ever Witnessed.

well-informed circles there that the Mgr.

the announcement was probably like the
many others that have preceded it-a ru-
NOR. He regarded the continual reports
connecting the names Of various dignitaries
of the church with the Office of apostolic
delegate as showing what vast amount
of interest was being taken in the question

A Compromise Candidate.

Among the politicians lots of talk is be
ing indulSed in to the effect that Governor
Campbell may be a compromise candidat te
at Chicago. If anything is done in the
Ohio convention next week toward pushing
his candidacy he may loom up more prom
inently in the political movements of the
next few weeks.
- A matter of some import at this time is
that Governor Campbell came here ,Iirec,
from New York, and that he was in that
city when William c. Whitney was MAX

gold men to put up a fight at Chicago.

CANTON, Ohio, June 2o.-One of the
earliest delegations to arrive this morning
was q special train load Of distinguished
New Workers. with whom came Mr.. Abner
Mckinley of New York, brother of the
republican presidential nominee. They
came through as a special train from st.

order after last nights enthusiasm. They
were greeted cordially at the doorstep, how
ever, by the governor and invited inside.
The delegation was headed by Cornelius n.

How Can They Do Anythings


In view If these figures, the question can
naturally be asked. how can the gold men
do anything at Chicago? They will have
to bring about change of over 100 votes
to get a majority in the convention. The
belief is sometimes expressed that, not
withstanding the shrewdness Of Whitney,
German. Hill and other gold leaders, they
are still laboring Under the impression tina:
something of the same conditions will ex-
ist at Chicago this year as four years ago.
In other words, that they do rot appear to
have realized the terrible earnestness of
the silver men in this fight. The gold men
are. 1t is thought, laboring under the be-
lief that they will be able to bring about
compromises or something of that kind.
In this they fail to remember the action of
the Kentucky convention. If no quarter
was accorded Carlisle in his state none
given Hoke Smith In his state and none
shown Postmaster General Wilson in his
state. none need be expected at Chicago
to men who are not bound to each other
by state pride or anything of that kind.
A Hopeless Fight.
The most impartial and intelligent OBJ
servers of the situation declare that the
fight the gold men will make will be
hopeless one. Col Morrison and other anti
silver men give 1T up. All that the gold
men can hope for is to hold the balance of
power between the various silver candi-
dates for the presidential domination. They
can do nothing on the platform, and then
when the platform is adopted will they
care to do anything about the candidate?
While the gold men are girding on their
armor, the silver leaders are sleepless.
They don't expect to allow victory to be
snatched out of their hands at the last
minute. Some pretty maneuverng is ex-
pected from both sides at Chicago from q
week before the convention up to the date
of the convention. It's a red-hot fight
from now on, with able leadership on each

The States to Act.
The supposition is that the states to act
will vote as follows:

Adding the totals, and the silver men
will have 576 votes and the gold men 352
votes. The silver men claim that they
have votes in Minnesota and in Mary
land. which is credited by those who know
the situation in those states. If these
votes are deducted from the gold column,
the total for that faction will be left at
341, and the total of the silver men will be
run to 5S1.

THE convention was one of the most
mediocre in character ever held by thar
party and showed that the party is at the
opposite pole from what IL was when n
nominated Lincoln. Then its conventions
were made up OF statesmen, orators and
patriots, and there was a noticeable ab-

FAMOUS sCoroa REGIMENTS.
They Are Known at Home by a Long
List of Nicknames.

Ihey arc hhONu ~ -
List of Nicknames.
The brigade of Foot Guards of
the British army do not like to be
called "The Chuckle Chucks,"
but for stealing hens and ducks in
Dublin the people Of that fine city
gave them that name. The First
Royal Scots Lothian RegimenD
glory in the name of "Pontius
Pilates Body Guards" for they
are the oldest regiment in the
army. But l would not like to
enter the sergeants' mess OF the
Twenty first Royal Scots Fusiliers
and ask them if they were "The
Glencoe Butchers;" such, how
ever, is the nickname of this fine
regiment, for their records show
that they were in the vicinity of
the Glen during that cruel and
cowardly affair. The Twenty
fifth Kings Own "Scots Border
ers" are known in the Highland
regiments as"Cumberland's Royal
Standbacks." This was the regi-
ment that the Clan Cameron gave
such a cutting up at Culloden.
They were then called "Semple's
Regiment" The Camerons slew
12S of them. That was terribly
good work, seeing that they re-
ceived the charge of the Camerons
four deep, front rank kneeling.
The Ninth Norfolk Regiment
delights in being called The
Ninth Holy-boys." They have
carried that name since the days
of Wellington. The way they
came by it was because they sold
their Bibles in Spain for wine.
/ stated in a former letter OF
how the gallant "Forty-two" got
the name Of The Bricks" The
Fiftieth Regiment is known all
over the army as The Blind Half
Hundred They certainly de-
serve the name. for they charged
stone wall, taking it for column
of the French. Since 1909 the
famous Seventy-frst Highland
Light Infantry has been known
as "The Glasgow Keelies," and in
Irelands its sister regiment, the
Seventy fourth Highland, is call
ed "The Limerick Butchers" Dur
ing the troubles of 1866 81 they
were ordered to charge the mob
which was pelting stones, etc, in
to their ranks. The order was
quickly obeyed, and many of the
rioters received a touch of their
bayonets; hence the nickname.
The twenty. eighth Gloucester
shire Regiment gets the name of
''The Cd Brags." This is the
regiment that wear their regi-
mental number in front and in
rear of their helmet. AT Quatre
Bras they were attacked in field |
of corn by the Polish lancers. The |
rear rank turned about, so that |
they showed and fought with two
fronts. In after years they used |
to brag about this plucky affair
and the honor they gained; so
they are still The Old Brags."
The gallant old Seventy ninth |
Cameron Highlanders are known
since 1871 as "Queen Victoria's !
Own, Own" and the Ninety-frst !
Argyles are sometimes called
SANDY Campbell's BARNS" Out
of Scotland they are called "The
Lord God Of the Highlands Own
Highlanders." When they wore
the tews Campbell tartan) they
were called "John Dukes Half
dressed Highlanders. THE Ninety
