Condo mining Collector Wells.

The statement made on Saturday by
Deputy Collector Wells, and which appears
in another column to-day, has brought an
unexpected amount of censure upon tho
collector against whom charges will be
made by tho leading Republicans of the
city and determined effort made to 70,
move him.
Since being appointed to the office, Will
mington Republicans have had little to
say of the official. This, to an extent is
accountable for the narrow minded inter.
view which he gave, and which will, in all
probability, be his first step to removal.
This morning a REPUBLICAN reporter
questioned number of prominent Re-
publ.cans concerning the interview and
while several did not care to have their
names mentioned, believing Mr.. Wells to
be as good . Republican rs themselves.
they all unhesitatihgly pronounced his
stat ements void of any Republican senti-
ment. 1--WE don't care what Mr.. Wells
says" "Wells don't cut any figure In
Delaware politics" and "Wells' swollen
hcnd has given him control of the party
in Delaware" were among the many opin-
ions expressed,
One man said Mr. Wells would certainly
be removed for his remarks, while one
Union Republican ventured the statement
that tho cJllecto S .o,) be removed.
Ex-senator liiggiu, and Hugh G.
Browne expressed themselves greatly sur.
priced at the collectors statements.
