FAILURE OF the Plot,

The plan miscarried. The anarchists
then followed the royal party on to
MonZa. 1t was expected that the
queen would accompany the king to
the field where the gympastic competi-
ton was to take place. and it was
agreed to kill them there When the
king appeared without his consort
Bresci declared the opportunity to car
~ out their plan was so favorable it
would be carried out even though the
queens life be spared. When he pre-
pared to fire the fatal shots LANA drew
his revolver and was to fire it BreSci's
shots failed to kill. When the king
fell. mortally wounded, Lana threw
down his weapon and fled. His revolv-
err was found near the scene of the
tragedy, and he was speedily captured

GOOD CONVENTION, GOOD PLATFORM
GOOD CANDIDATES

Prior to the meeting Of the Republi
can State Convention the Evening
Journal gave its readers certain assur-
ances with respect TO IT, One was that
II would not be a one-man affair. An
other that every delegate would be hit
own man and voice and vote his own
sentiments and that no man on the
floor would have any other mans col
lar around ais neck. Still another was
that there would be a declaration OF
principles that could be endorsed by
any opponent Of Democracy, and that
a ticket worthy Of the support Of all
Republican and Independent party men
would be placed in nomination. All
these assurances have been verified,
much TO the discontinue Of those who
hoped that the convention would make
a mistake in its action in some vital
particular
Never, in the history Of Delaware
has there been a larger convention, OF
one in which the one-man power was
less apparent in its proceedings. Boss

even King Caucus had little or nothing

their platform and they have thei
ticket. There is not a plank in tn
former that any true Republican ca
refuse to endorse; there is not a car

say this boldly and unreservedly in th
face Of the second Addicks State Cor

tomorrow, and which, II II pursue

have their venality played upon by the
Addicksites and succumb to their
Establishments it is bad enough. but
when party organs feel called upon to
warn Democratic voters against Dem
ocratic leaders who are suspected OF
having sold out to Addicksites the
situation within the party must have
become desperate indeed.
The Dover Delawarean, which never
fails to attempt to gain factional ad-
vantage, intimates that the evil is con-
fined TO Kent county, and covertly in
sinuates that the anti-Saulsbury men
down there are the ones who have been
corrupted or who are holding up their
palms. We take this opportunity to
inform the Delawarean that the dan
ger is not confined to either Kent
county or the anu-Saulsbury men, but
that 1t extends into New Castle and
Sussex counties, and also that several
pronounced Salisbury men Of promi-
nence within the party are under sus-
picion OF trafficking with the Addlck-
sites. In watching its enemies the
Dover Delawarean had better pay heed
to some Of It's friends.

And even If the sound money men
should carry the House by a decisive
majority in 1902 and the silver men
should obtain the ascendency in. the
Senate, there would Immediately fol-
low a recurrence of the agitation Of
financial questions and policies which
did the country so much harm for
years prior to and down to the enact
ment Of the gold standard law Of
March IA, 1900. The only way to in
sure the continued stability Of that
legislation is to defeat the Bryan
ticket in November and elect a Repub-

next House Of Representatives.
The Addicksites promised the Re
publican National Convention that
they would do their utmost to make
Delaware Republican this Fall. In
fact, Addicks assumed full responsible
ity for the outcome here What are they
going to do about this warning heed
1t, OF ignore It? Now is the time Of
all times for the Union Republicans to-
repudiate Addicks and swing in line
with the Republicans to elect the Re
publican national, state and county
tickets, together with a Legislature
which will send two Republicans to
the United States Senate. 1t must be
apparent to them by this time that
Addicks never can be elected and that
to make further attempts is merely al
waste Of time, and an encouragement

Everyone respects DR.. John J Black
Of New Castle, but there is noe a poll
tician I'm the county who does not
know that the Democratic managers
have no idea of dealing him q win
ming hand in the approaching state
convention. When the New Castle
News suggests that Kent and Sussex
counties may have some say in the
matter it forgets that feelers of that
sort were thrown out by the friends
of Governor Tunnel and that the New
Castle county men resented them so
strongly that even the governors own
paper, the Delaware Pilot, came out
with an avowal that the right to name
the candidate would vest in the New
Castle county caucus. If Dr. Black s
friends are banking on Kelt and Sus-
sex interference they may as well learn
now that no such action will be toler-
ated by the New Castle county dele
gates.
