WILLIAM NJ. BYRNE
FOR ONH TICKET
viii Not Talk Regarding the
Conference With Harry
A. Richardson

Regarding the dispatch from Dover
printed ia the Evening journal On
Saturday, TO the erect that William
Michael Byrne had gone to the state
capital to confer with Harry A. Rich
arlsou about his name heading the
SKATE Republican ticket, MIR. Byrne
says:
Il am sure Mr.. Richardson shares
with me a surprise that any import
ance is attached to our informal taln
at Dover. The adjustment Of the Re-
publican ticket is in the hands OF
proper committees, headed respectively
by Chairman Churchman and Chair
man Alice. l know personally that
Chairman Churcnman is interchangeable
In his efforts to promote unity Of ac-
tion On Republican lines. and that
Chairman Alice, with his accustomed
energy, is assiduous in his attention to
every detail Of this important prob
lem.
Speaking only fog myself, I earnest
ly hope the committees Will select a
candidate for governor who can ac-
compiish the following objects:
First, the full poll Of the Republi-
can votes, not in only the lower coun-
ties, but also in New Castle county.
Second, the support Of the large
number Of fearless. independent Demo
Gratis who devoted 10 the true inter
ests OF the republic, prefer the facts
Of Mckinley prosperity to the theories
OF the Chicago platform, dressed in its
new garb.
Third, the permanent union Of Re
publican forces in Delaware
Our candidate for governor this
time ought to be not so much a 'Regu-
lar or 'Unionist' as q Citizen Republi-
can strong enough to weld the jarring
elements OF Republicanism into one
compact and impregnable force. Mar
tin B. Burris is such a man; so is
Harry A. Richardson; so is Honest
John Hunn so Is either Charles +.
Richards, Charles H. Maull or DR..
Hiram R. Burton; and there are many
others in both the Union and Republi-
can ranks, any one Of whom the two
committees might select
1t is a matter for congratulation
that the committees are not seeking to
gain any factional advantage in this
matter, but are discharging their duties
with keen appreciation Of their re-
sponsibilities to the party and to the
people.
Il know the decision of the commit
tees will be a conscientious one with
out the sacrifice of fundamental prin-
ciples. and if a united ticket is the re-
suit of their deliberations / shall re-
joice to fight side by side with the
Union Republicans. whose energy, en-
thusiasm and skill / have often ap
plauded from an opposite camp.
There is no intrinsic difference be-
tween the electoral state and congress
sional tickets, and as we have united
on the electoral, we ought to unite on

Workers of America adjourned sine die

Story Of Horror Comes From
Galveston, Which Is
Submerged
HUNDREDS OF HOMES WRECKED
Ness Vi the Horror Taken 20 IlOuy-
Ton by a Nan WHO Escaped
on a Schooner

Houston Tex. Sept i0-The West
Indian storm which reached the euf
coast Satu day morning Wrov ht awful
havoc in Texfs. Reports are conflict
ing, but It is known that an appalling
disaster has befallen the city Of Calves
ton, where. it is reported. a thousand
or more hves have been blotted out and
a tremendous property damage in
Cured. Meager reports from Sabine
Pass and Port Arthur also indicate a
heavy loss of life, but these reports can
not be confirmed at this hour.
The first news to reach this city from
the stricken city Of Galveston was re-
ceived last night. James c. Timmins,
who resides in Houston. arrived in the
city at 8 o'clock last night from Calves
ton. After remaining through the hur-
ricane on Saturday he departed from
Galveston on a schooner and came
across the bay to Morgan's Point,
where he caught a train for Houston.
The hurricane, Mr.. Timmins said, was
the worst ever known.
The estimates made by citizens OF
Galveston was that 1000 houses most
Of them residences, have been destroy
ed and that at least ,0O0 people have
been drowned, killed or are missing.
Some business houses were also de-
stroyed but most of them stood, though
badly damaged.
The city, Mr.. Timmins AYERS, is a
complete wreck, so far as he could see
from the water front and from the
fremont hotel. Water was blown over
the island by the hurricane. the wind
blowing at the rate OF so miles an hour
straight from the gulf and forcing the
sea water before It in big waves. The
gale was a steady one. the heart of it
striking the city about o'clock Sat
urday evening and continuing without
intermission until midnight when It
abated somewhat although II con-
tinued to blow all night.
OF his own knowledge Mr. Timmins
knew of only one house Flcculabing
with fatal results, though he heard Of
many residences being carried awav
with inmates. The house that he saw
destroyed was Ritter's saloon and res
taurant, on a principal business street
of the city. This building was blown
down and nine men-prominent citi-
zens-were killed.
It was reported that the orphan asy-
lum and both the hospitals were de-
stroyed and If this proves true the loss
of life will be great, as these institu-
tions were generally crowded. and as
they were substantial buildings the
chances are that many had taken ref
use in them
The water extended across the ISL
and Mr. Timmins said it was three
feet deep IN the fremont hotel and was
six feet deen in Market street.
Along the water front the damage
was very great The roofs had been
blown from the elevators and the sheds
along the wharves were either wrecked
or had lost their sides, and were Of no
protection to the contents. Most Of
the small sailing craft were wrecked
and we're either piled up on the
wharves or floating bottom side up in
the bay. while many large vessels have
been blown ashore In the bay the
carcasses Of nearly two hundred horses
and mules were seen.
