Moved. that the republicans of
Worcester through their delegates
to the municipal convention Of 1898
empower its city committee to in
crease its membership to five for
each ward in such manner as it may
elect for the year 1897 and that
hereafter the republican city COM
mittee shall consist OF five members
for each ward, to be elected at the
municipal cauCuses in such manner
as the law provides.
Speaking on the motion. Mr.. stone
said that some such action was made
imperative by the addition of another
precinct in each ward, and that it was
not possible for three men to do the
work. He thought that there should be
ne man for each precinct and one man
at large who should have general super
vision The rule made by the conven-
ton will Increase the membership in the
city committee from twenty-four to
forty.
David Manning spoke against the mo-
ton and said that he thought the adop-
ton Of any such rule would tend in a
little time to establish machines in each
ward. He thought that the committee
should not be given any such power as
to increase its own membership. He
thought that a large committee would
be Likely to carry much deadwood, and
he argued that there was already
enough Of that as at present constitut-
ed
Charles T. Tatman read letter from
the secretary of state relative to the
authority the committee had to change
its own membership.
As a precautionary measure, Edward
NJ Woodward suggested that the nom
nation for mayor be by a single ballot
to be cast by the secretary, but the
chairman doubted whether such action
would be legal also. and after some
discussion the question was dropped.

Chief Engineer George W. Sasse
Refused to Sign a Deed
of Transfer.
MEMBERS ARE NOW INCENSED
An Indignation Meeting May be Held
and First Lieutenant Sasse Will
Probably Hear Some Very
Plain Remarks From
Friends"

All of the fire companies Of this city
are again up in arms over the recent
action OF Chief of the Fire Department,
George W. Sasse, in refusing to sign q
deed for the transfer of a property be
longing to the department.
About four years ago David Bush, an
ardent friend Of the tiremen, donated
them handsome piece OF realty near
Boothwyn station.
Some time ago the department was of.
fered 5000 for the property by H. H.
Ward, Esq.
The proposition was discussed at the
meetings Of the respective companies
and it was decided to sell the same, by
the unanimous vote OF the department.
The deed was accordingly made out
and after the officers Of the companies
had signed the documents it was found
necessary to secure the signatures of the
trustees, who had managed the property,
before clear title could be passed.
All of the board signed, with the ex-
ception Of Chief Sasse, and when the
deed was taken to him at Middletown,
Pa, where he holds the position of First
Lieutenant of Company B, in the First
Delaware Volunteers, under "Uncle
Sam" Mr.. Sasse politely refused to at
tach his signature to the deed of trans.
fer.
When Mr.. Sasse left Wilmington to
enter the service Of the government he
was trustee and also secretary of the
board. During his absence the office Of
secretary was declared vacant and an
other person elected in his place.
His refusal to sign the deed, thus Civ.
ing clear title, the fremen now allege
is done in spirit Of revenge and the
company of which he is member, the
Washington, contemplate holding an in.
dignation meeting on Monday night,
censuring the action of Mr.. Sasse.
1t is alleged that First Lieutenant
Sasse imagines that he owns the state,
and those who were once his friends in.
tend to object against the high handed
methods he has employed of late in
granting (?) their wishes. This is the
third offeAse Mr.. Sasse has been guilty
OF as he has refused to resign as CHIEF
twice and still contends that he can
direct his men how to extinguish fire
while he is over 100 miles away. The
lieutenant will be received with open
arms when he returns to be mustered
out"

Good Morning.

THE great and good Bayard Of Della
ware, will be laid to rest today. The
funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock
this afternoon at Old swedes Church,
where the body has reposed since its
arrival in this city last evening. Reso-
lutions of respect have been sent to the
sorrowing widow from both sides Of the
Atlantic, and eulogies of the dead states
man haye been uttered by many promi-
nent persons. Let the business men of
this city pay a mark Of respect to the
dead statesman. During the period
between l O'Clock and o'clock let all
the places of business draw their curtains
and suspend business. Let the stores
and Offices be closed while the funeral
services are being held. 1t is as little as
any merchant can do to close his store as
a mark of respect to the greatest Della
warean of the century. Suspend bust
ness during the time specified. No one
will be the loser and such action, will be
fitting tribute to man Of international
reputation.

Mr.. SAMUEL BANCROFT, JR., journalist
and gentleman, is the saddest sight in
Wilmington.
His childish controversy with The
Morning Ners has become serious affair.
Responsible journalism is new thing
to Samuel.
For years past he has published any
old thing and almost every old thing in
his newspaper and as nobody called him
to account he deemed it pleasant
diversion.
Things are different now.
The facts concerning bank robberies
can no longer be suppressed to oblige
friends and encourage dishonesty on the
part Of public officials.
Charges of malad ministration, mis-
management, crooked contracts and ex-
travagant appropriations cannot be
made against the Levy Court or any
other Department of the county and 60
unchallenged
If these very grave charges are true
Samuel Bancroft, Jr, owes it to himself
to prove them. He has the means and
the opportunity. He has monopoly of
the facts supporting his charges. 1t
cannot be that he means to treasure
them up for the time being only to have
them figure later on in barter for poll
tical preferment or coin Of the realm.
He knows that he could never be elected
to any Office within the gift of the people
Of Delaware and everybody knows that
he really does not need the money.
Certain it is, however, that he has
some overpowerine reason for suppress
ing the facts concerning this colossal
steal, if steal there has been.
He suppressed the truth concerning
the robbery Of the First National Bank
of Dover and up to the very hour of
Boggs' surrender insisted that no proofs
had been submitted duplicating others
in the crime.
By silence MIR. Bancroft evidently
wishes to create the impression that THE
Sun must get reputation before he
will condescend to notice it. This is
sublime conceit. THE Sun has established
reputation for printing all the truth all
the time-a reputation Erery Erening
never has had and can never hope to
have SO long as Samuel Bancroft, Jr.,
controls its columns and directs its policy.
Samuel Bancroft, Jr., you and your
newspaper are on trial at the great bar
of Public Opinion: You have made grave
charges against your peers; you have
signally failed to prove any one OF the
four you have made; you have consist
emily lodged the issue and evidently re-
pudiated the obligations involved.
You owe it to the newspaper fra
ternity as we'll as to Yourself to "make
good'' or apologize to the Levy court.
Make no mistake, Mr.. Bancroft. This
newspaper is not defending the Levy
Court or denying that there may be
truth in your charges. THE Sun insists,
however, that your unsupported word
will not do. Your reputation for truth
and veracity, hereabouts, is fairly good,
but not whit better than that enjoyed
by the gentlemen Of the Levy Court.
In justice to the Levy Court; in fair
ness to yourself, and in the interest of
the taxpayers of New Castle county
produce your proofs and push the issue
to conclusion.
You have placed yourself in a bad
light before the people of Delaware.
