M'COY AND ENGLAND.
Silver Men Said to Have De-
termined Upon Them.
SAY MR. BAYLIs WAS A aoLD-BUG

COMMll ICE III REPORT TO THE
DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION To-
NIGHT AND SAY BOTH WEBSTER
AND CULBERT ARE UNDECIDED.
ADDlCKS MEN ARE CRINGING.
The Wilmington City Democratic
Association will meet tonight at the
Y. M. ID. c., and the meeting promises
to be another vigorous boom to Demo-
cratic success at the municipal contest
next month. The meeting will be call
ed TO order by Secretary Thomas CORN
ley, and James h. Magee may be
chosen as chairman because OF the
declination OF Colonel Norton to serve.
lt Is understood that the investiga-
tion of the committee on candidates has
resulted In the acceptance OF James
Frank Mccoy and Jesse X. Baylis, who
are right into the contest to stay. John
M. Rogers has refused to enter any
contest, and Ayers S. Webster and N.
b. Culbert will not talk and are prob
ably undecided. Andrew l.. Johnson.
who is busy with Constitutional Con-
venticn work, had not been seen by
the committee up to to-day.
The silver Democrats will make a
hard fight for Mccoy for mayor, and
England for city solicitor, and the sill
yer strength is not to be sneezed at. It
will go especially against Mr.. Bayls
who Is charged with aifiliating himself
with the gold league in the last cam
paign.
A regular Republican was interview
ed this morning in regard TO the re-
ported action of the two factions unit
ing on a single ticket for the coming
city election.
He said: "The scheme Is both inn
practicable and impossible. The Ad-
dicks people are determined to put a
ticket in the field, and their candidates
will certainly not receive the support
Of the regular Republicans. It seems
that the compromise arrangement Is
given out by one faction of the Demo-
cratic party with the view of prevent
ing contest among themselves. There
are hundreds of Republicans in the
city who prefer to support one of the
Democratic tickets at the coming cleo
tion with the view OF getting a better
/ city government than to encourage the
running OF two Republican tickets, thus
insurlng the election Of the Democratic
machine ticket
1T is true that efforts have been
made" he continued, ito bring the two
factions together but the scheme seems
to have fallen through entirely, and
the time before the election is so short
that n is useless to undertake or hope
for the Republicans to make a single
i ticket a. ast.s. -,s.sa
1.-THE Republicans are watching the
/, present Democratic contest and their
sympathies now. as their votes on elec-
ton day, will be given to the anti-ma-
, chine Democratic nominees"
ADDICKsITES LYING DOWN.
The Wilmington followers Of John
Edward Addicks and his Independent
party OF Delaware are taking the asp
in their bosoms and drinking deep of
the bitter cup OF repentance. They
were even the first TO lie down and let
the adversary walk over them last
night and were the first to arrive at
the Young Mems Republican Clubs
headquarters, where their committee OF
, the Union Republicans and one from
the regular Republican First District
Committee met for the pur-
pose of selecting a union ticket which
, would suit the mass Of Republican
voters at the municipal election.
The regular Republicans were repre-
sented by Horace Greeley Knowles
e. Robert Burns. Harry A. Brown and
q James Kitchens, and the Addicks fac
e ton by Stephen Downey, John Mccoy
@ Howard Stats and Charles Solloway.
The regular Republican COMMITTEES
4 was appointed and was given power e
act in the way they thought best anC
report to the First District COMMITTEES
on Friday night. Both sides favored
!, harmony and but one ticket. They die
= not decide on any candidates, and here
p IS where the saw will strike knot.
