DELAWARE DEMOCRATS.
Straddle Money Question and Con-
denim Mckinley Administration.


Dover. Del. Sept 1S.-The Demo
cratic state convention met here this
afternoon and selected the following
ticket: fr'f
Congressman, L. Irving Handy. re-
nominated; state treasurer, William
Ross. renominated; state auditor, DR..
L. \. H. Bishop.
The platform declares the allegiance
of the Democratic party of Delaware
to all the cardinal principles Of the
Democratic faith which have come
down from Jefferson and Jackson. TIE
administration of public affairs under
President Mckinley is declared to be a
disappointment, and it is set forth that
prosperity has not returned; thai
trusts, combines and monopolies have
grown, and that no measures Of econ
omy have been introduced.
Concerning the money question the
platform says: THE necessity of re-
forming our currency system is ad-
the president himself (who sent a
monetary commission abroad to con-
suit the foreign governments and asked
for the appointment of another none
tary commission to consider the ques-
ton here at home), but nOtwithstand-
ing the admitted evils of our present
complicated, illogical and injurious
currency system, the Republican con-
gress and administration have taken
no positive and effective measures for
reform"
The inequalities of the war revenue
act are condemned. The people are
congratulated upon the termination of
the war with Spain, and a demand is
made that the burdens of war taxation
be 1essened as quickly as possible. i
rigid and impartial investigation of the
conduct Of the war department is de-
p1aDded

Boise, Ida. Sept. 1S.-Secretary of
State Lewis has declined to file the
ticket of the Taylor Populist conven-
ton, and tomorrow at o'clock the
matter will come up before the SUI
preme court. Mr.. Lewis announced his
decision in communica ton, in which
he says:
The law plainly indicates that there
shall be but one division for each polit-
zeal principle or party on the official
ballot, and believing it is my duty to
exercise any necessary precautiou to
prevent q violation of the statutes in
preparation of same. hereby decline
to file and certify the said certificate of
nomination"
The action of the secretary was
based upon an opinion secured by him
from Attorney General Mcfarland. At
ter stating the case, the attorney gen.
erals opinion says:
Each of these documents purports
to be the certificate CT nomination Of
the Peoples party convention of the
state of Idaho of candidates for the
various state offices to be filed at the
coming state election. and by endorse
ment thereon is so denominated.
''The certificates are not signed by
the same chairman and secretary.
Neither Of them pretendS or attempts
to designate the principle which the
convention or party represented. 1t is
unreasonable to presume that there
can be two parties in the state repre-
senting the same principle, and bear
ing the same name Therefore. in view
Of the fact that there is nothing be-
fore you by which it appears
that the two conventions represented
different parties and different princi-
pies, the filing of the certificate first
above mentioned precludes the filing of
the latter. especially so when each con-
vention claims to be the only regularly
called Peoples party convention of the
state. and protests against recognition
of the other by your office"
Attorney Ruick. acting on behalf of
the Taylor POpulists, will apply TO the
supreme court fer a writ of mandate
TO compel the secretary to file the ticket
and certify it to the county auditors.
1t is probable that a writ Of prOhibi-
ton will also be asked for. restraining
the secretary from filing the other
ticket. 1t is held by some of the best
lawyers that there is no discretion
lodged in the secretary as to filing or
as to certifying tickets. If that is cor
rect the Blake ticket could also be
certified, hence the probability of ap-
plication for a writ of prohibition.

DISTRESS OF GOLD-SEEAENo.
Ashcroft Route Is Lined With Starv-

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 13-A party
of miners who arrived here today from
Fort Wrangel, Alaska, relate a story
confirmatory OF previous reports of
the suffering OF prospectors who tried
to get into the Klqndike by the Ash
croft route. The party is composed of
James and Frank Hazard, W. POUCH
and William Mullin. Their home is at
DOLPHIN lake. Manitoba.
In an interview published in an even
ing paper, Mullin said: The scenes
CT distress along the trail are wildly

fury 100 outfits. representing perhaps
60 men, and many of them were
actua4ly starving. Abe poor fellows

were struggling along in half dazed
condition, eating s0phers, ground, hogs
and squirrels, in fact anything they
could get. They are ragged. hungry
and desperate crowd of men with small
hopes or reaching their destination.
Occasionally a fortunate party on the
trail gives them provisions, but none
of US had much to spare. All along
the trail you could see them lying
under the trees and under improvised
shelters, trudging hopelessly along in
the day tine, and often lying down at
night without a bite to eat. 1t is sim

DISARMAMENT OF ARMY
THOUSANDS OF CUBANs LAYING
DOWN THEIR ARMS.
Genera Gomez Favored Resistance 20
the American Claims By Force
New Political Party Organized to
Reconstruct the Government
VIII Conform to American Plans.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 13.-An un-
contradicted rumor was received by
General Lawton last night that Gen
eral Maxine Gomez. the insurgent
commaRder-in-chief has rendered his
resignation Of the command of the Gu
ban army to the Cuban government at
CamagUey, and that it has been ac-
cepted. Gomez. it appears, has been
protesting against the Cuban govern
ments yielding the control of the af-
fairs OF the islanG 10 the Americans,
End the explanation for resigning was
his disapproval of passive submission
TO conditions tending 10 the practical
retirement of the Cuban republic, as
such, and the establishing of the alb
solute dominion of the United States.
The Cubans at Santiago were much
excited by the report, and there was
an animated scene at the San Carlos
club this morning when the matter
was discussed. The report was dis
believed by many, who say that Cen
eral GOmsZ's resignation at this time is
utterly Improbable. Others, however,
say Gomez resents the putting of the
Cuban army under the authority of
the American generals, and claims the
Cubans should resist, even by force of
arms, if necessary.
Generals Cebreco, Castillo, Pedro,
Perez and other insurgent leaders have
turned over their commands to General
Lawton. General Perez has s 900 men
in the vicinity of Guantanamo, which
he win disband this week by order of
General Castillo. There is now a gen
eral desire on the part Of the Cuban
authorities to disband, as the insur-
gents have learned that the question
of their back pay will not be considered
by the Americans.
Lieutenant Colonel Rowan and Cap
tain Parker, accompanied by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Carlos Garcia, son Of Cen
eral Garcia, and two other Cuban Of
dcers, arrived here late last night on
horseback from Gibara, on the north
coast. Colonel Rowan has been sent
here by General Miles from Porto Rico.
He viii make observations in Cuba,
geographical, climatic and military, for

with guides horses and provisions by
the Cuban commander, Ferria, at Gil
bara, and visited Holguin, which is
garrisoned by 1900 Spaniards under
General Luque.
Good health generally prevails
among both Cubans and Spaniards in
the northern part of the island The

NEW HAMPsHIRE G. O. P.
Nominated Rollins For Governor
and Adopted a Platform.


Concord, n. H, Sept. 13.-The Repub-
licans of New Hampshire held one of
the largest state conventions ever held
in this state here today, more than
200 delegates presenting credentials.
Hon. Frank w Rollins of Concord was
named for governor.
The platform reaffirms the financial
plank of the st. Louis platform of 1896
and commends the administration of
President Mckinley and the successful
conduct of the war with Spain, which,
the resolutions declare. was a war
prompted by the noblest sentiments of
humanity
The platform says further that the
war has obliterated sectionalism and
cemented the Union of states as never
before in our history, and it has
brought about a better understanding
between the two great EngliSh-Speak-
ing nations of the globe
The platform continues: We ap-
prove OF the increase OF the navy, the
upbuilding of our merchant marine, the
enlargement of the regular army to
meet the present requirements of the
country, the construction of a canal
connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, the annexation of Hawaii and
Porto Rico, the provision for a free
and stable government for Cuba and
its ultimate annexation.
while we reaffirm the Monroe doc
trine, we favor such disposition of the
Philippines as will hest promote the
growing commercial and political inter
estS of the United States, eXtinguishing
the sovereignty of Spain and making
good our obligations to the people of
those islands"

EVACUATION OF CUBA.
Charged That Spain Is Holding On
to Collect Customs Duties.

New York, Sept. 13.-A special to the
Times from Washington says: The
Spaniards are not evacuating Cuba as
fast as many people in this country
wish them to. 1t is claimed by those
who are urging the government to take
vigorous steps toward accelerating the
retirement OF the Soaniards from the
island that the government at Madrid
is trying TO hold on to the Cuban Gus
toms duties as long as possible.
II this be true, 1t is a reason that all
thrifty merchants can understand and
appreciate. Spain has had nothing TO
consider but debts and outlay Tor
months. It is gratifying to hope to be
able to take in some thousands of dol
lars of revenue from Cuban custom
houses, which many persons in this
country think should be already open
and S-ee 10 goods from America
The administration does not, how
ever, credit this charge against Spain,
nor does it agree with those who make
complaints that the Soaniards are not
getting out fast enough. 1t recognizes
that it is not an easy thing TO pack
200, eco troons out from any country in
q short time. The problem becomes
quite serious when the country en-
deavoring TO do this has no money, lit
tie credit and few boats at her COM
some latitude in the matter 1t has no
intention OF acting in a hasty manner
and in ordering the defeated soldiers
TO move on. Much has to be done and
the administration is willing to allow
time for the performance of the great
task that Spain has on hand.
The administration is one the less
determined that evacuation shall be
made as soon as POSSIBLE. The peace
that have Just reached
Havana will impress upon the Span
iards the necessity for moving out as
rapidly as possible, according to the
terms Of the protocol. 1t is quite GER
tain that the terms of the final treaty
of peace viii be more emphatic and
The SDaniards must go,
but the government is inclined to act
good humoredl-7 in the matter and let
the S9aniards take as much time for
dignified departure as this country can
afford to let them have at its expense.

tlonal assembly convened to elect his suc-

inauguration takes place on the 22nd.
The new president is Il years of age,
statesman of broad. comprehensive
views, possessed of rare ability and at

predecessor. He assumed the executive
functions of the government on the Sth

j. Addison Porter'S Attempt to Sc
cure the Nomination.
New Haven, Conn, Sept 1S.-The Re-
publican state convention will meet
tomorrow Many delegates are here
tonight, and the rival candidates for
governor have opened headquarters.
The convention promises tosbe one of
the most interesting of recent years,
chiefly on account of strong efforts
made by John Addison Porter, secre-
tary to President Mckinley, TO secure
the nomination for governor. This is
the third time that Mr.. Porter has been
a candidate for the place According
to the statements of the managers of
his rivals in the campaign, he viii not
be in the running, and George Louns-
bury, the oid candidate. will be NOM
mated on the first ballot By an over
whelming majority
The Porter men pooh-pooh these
statements ard confidently state that
when the ballots are counted there will
be some surprises. The picturesque fea-
ture of the campaign is the vigor with
which Mr.. Porter has attacked the men
who manage the affairs of the party,
alleging bossism, ring rule and lobby
control. and his promises to do away
with these elements, should he become
governor.

Tastes Better.
The bicycler who takes long rides
needs nourishment in a condensed form.
The loading up of the stomach with

Cyclers and athletes who have tried
the delicious Grape-Nuts, lately placed

recommendations of them as condensed
food that builds flesh, strength and
muscle, while at the same time is easily
digested.
1t is an undeniable fact that more

those who use Grape-Nuts and have
