and in the afternoon We could start
out.
After dinner, about ] o'clock, We
did start out We moved in couples.
The man who piloted me around was
an Albino named Newell l don't know
who piloted the others. Some of rs
registered as high as seven and eight
times. Everyone of us took q receipt
every time we registered, and these
receipts were cashed at the Merritt
House, which is kept by the Mundys.
Detective McVey told us that in case
any of us got in trouble we would be
bailed out and that would be the end
of it. He guaranteed US protection"
Before this, and still believing that
the repeaters were sent here by the
Quay people to assist Addicks, Mr..
Van Valkenburg came to Wilmington,
leaving Philadelphia on the $50
train on Saturday morning. He took
CAB and went out to the home o.
Peter j. Ford, the Democratic csndi-
date for governor. Mr.. Ford heard his
story but didn't seem to eyince much
interest in it. In fact he demeaned
himself as q man who did not think
such matter required any particular
attention or action. Mr.. Van Valken-
burg couldn't understand his apparent
indifference with what he believed to
be a gang Of Republican repeaters in
town. Finally he asked:
'NIr. Ford, what do you think Of
this?"
1T is an outragel" said Mr.. Ford.
1T is an outraged"
What can we do to prevent it?" in
quired Mr. Van ValKenburg.
Il don't know what we can do" re-
piled Mr.. Ford.
Haven't you anybody TO whom You
can refer the reporters Of the North
American for advice and help-no
friends Of yours?"
Il have no friends" responded the
Democratic candidate for governor.
There is so much treachery that l
don't know who to touch"
Mr.. Van Valkenburg thought that
very strange, and said:
Haven't you anybody to suggest at
all?"
mo. haven't" said Mr.. Ford.
How about the chief of police?"
Just the man." Mr.. Ford declared.
"Is he a Republican or a Demo-
crat?" MI Van Valkenburg inquired.

want to put these men into the hands
OF the Republicans said Mr.. Van
Valkenburg, who still thought the re-
peaters were here to pad the registra-
ton lists for the benefit of the Repub-
licans.
HE is a perfectly honest man, and
will do the right thing" said Mr..
Ford.

NEW JERSEY CONCEDED
TO THE REPUBLICANS

Jersey CITY. Nov. 5.-The campaign
in New Jersey was practically closed
Saturday night with meetings In every
town and city of any size in the state.
The Republicans claim that Mckinley
will carry the state by a coed majority.
Though the state is practically con-
leded to the Republicans, both par
Ties win make a hard fight for their
legislative and congressional candi-
dates The Republicans are counting
on electing six of the eight congress-
men, Salmon in the Fourth, and Nc
Dermott, jn the Seventh, being the only
two that are conceded to the Demo-
Gratis.
The Democrats, however, think their
candidate in the Third district, James

VISIT TO Mr.. FORD AND MR., NEARY
Followed Repeaters Here, and, Believing They Were
Working for AddiCNs, mpOrtuned Democratic
Candidate to Help BOckGame

or state Committee? There is Neary,
wouldn't he do?"
Just the man." exclaimed Mr.. Ford.
! Mr.. Van Valkenburg asked Mr.. Ford
to get in the cab with him and see Mr..
Neary.
No, I don't care to do that" said
Mr. Ford, but ! will give you a note
to take TO Mr.. Neary."
He went upstairs, wrote the note,
gave It to Mr.. Van Valkenburg. He
stated in this note that the bearer had
some valuable information to impsrt
to him; that Mr.. Van Valkenburg was
a stranger to him, but the infoima-
tion was of such a character that he
thought Mr. Neary ought to have It.
Mr.. Van Valkenburg left Mr.. Ford e
house. jumped in his cab and drove on
10 see Mr.. Neary. the chairman of the
Democratic County Executive Com
mittee. To him he Tecited the same
story that he previously had told to
Mr. Ford Mr.. Neary didn't seem to
be impressed.
This man McVey-can't we find
him and watch him?" asked Mr. Van
Valkenburg.
"Oh. he's all right" said Mr. Neary.
Hes a man who wouldn't do any
thing like that. He's perfectly honest,
and wouldn't go into any scheme OF
that kind"
Then It dawned upon Mr.. Van Val
kenburg that he had run up against
the wrong crowd.
What is McVey politically?" he in
quired
Hes a Democrat" said Mr. Neary.
Mr.. Van Valkenburg asked Mr..
Neary if he couldn't meet him later In
the morning and show him some of
the polling places where this repeating
was likely to take place. Mr. Neary
Informed him that he would not be
able to 90 around with him himself.
but he would meet him at the Hotel
Wilmington at o'clock and make
some arrangements by which Mr.. Van
Valkenburg would be able to detect
these men. Mr.. Van Valkenburg went
to the Hotel Wilmington and waited
there for nearly an hour Mr.. Neary
failed TO keep his appointment, and
Van Valkenburg did not see him again
That settled It, Mr.. Van Valken-
burg was satisfied that the repeaters
had been sent here by the Quay peo-
pie to pad the registration lists for
the Democrats and not for the Repub-
iicans. He left Mr. Neary. and was
unable to do anything more that day
He went back to Philadelphia and on
Saturday night, October 20, he saw
the informant and got from him the
details Of the work done here by the
/ lrepeaters.
After that Mr.. Van Valkenburg sent
for State Chairman Churchman and
Chairman Billany, of the Republican
First District Committee, and told
them all he knew They at once set
to work to purge the registration lists
and obtain further evidence to be used

Democrats Seem to be on
the Run

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5.-Col. W. ].
Bryan and Mrs. Bryan arrived at their
home in this city last evening" coming
direct from Chicago. They were driven
to their residence on ID street, where
Mr. Bryan remained until this morn
ing, when he started upon a flying
trip through Nebraska, devoting the
last day Of the campaign to his own
state.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan arrived
in Lincoln they found a large number
of their friends at the depot and some
of the more jealous of them sent loud
cheers upon the appearance of the
Democratic candidate on the train plat
form. Many of them escorted him to
his residence. and still others were
found there awaiting his arrival. There
were some suggestions of a speech, but
Mr.. Bryan declined to yield to the re-
quest
Despite the fact that there was no
general information of the route Mr..
Bryan would travel, crowds gathered
at many Of the railroad stations
through which he passed. At Creston,
Ia, there was quite strong demon
stration in his honor Several hun
dred people had congregated at the
depot, and there were calls for a
speech. Mr.. Bryan told the people,
however, that he never made speeches
on Sunday, but he shook hands with
most of those present before the train
started. There were similar crowds at
Villisca, Red Oak and Pacific Junction,
and when, late in the afternoon, the
train rolled across the long bridge over
the Missouri and landed the national
candidate in his own state, at the
town of Plattsmouth, there was a still
stronger demonstration. The crowd
was large and there were many calls
for Mr.. Bryan. He declined. as at other
places, to speak.
During the day Mr.. Bryan was asked
for a statement as to the probable out
come of the election. In reply he said:
"The fight has been made and won,
Money and coercion robbed us of a
victory in 1896, but I believe they will
be powerless to change the result this
time. The people are in earnest and
very few can be bought. Our or
ganization is much better than it was
in 1896, and therefore there is less
danger of fraud So far attempts at
intimidation have been rare this year
where they were very common in 1896
and even where intimidation has been
attempted it has angered the employees
rather than coerced them"

ALL DOUBTFUL STATES
In MCKINLEY COLUMN

New York, Nov. 5.-The Republican
national committee last night gave out
q long statement, in part as follows:
"On the eve of election the Repub-
lican national committees forecast OF
the result, based on absolutely au-
thentic and unimpeachable figures and
facts, differs from its previous fore
casts only in increasing the magnitude
of the triumph which Tuesday Will
bring to the cause of national honor
and prosperity. All the sources Of the
committees information, including
many that are very unwilling witness
es, concur in indicating the conclusion
that Tuesdays election will prove a
veritable landslide for Mckinley and
seal the doom of Bryan and Organism
forever
"The prime cause of this irresistible
and overwhelming popular revolt
against the Bryan-Populist ticket Is
perfectly obvious. It consists in the
desire Of the people to maintain the
prosperity which they have enjoyed
and now enjoy under the policies Of the
Mckinley administration, and in their
well grounded fear of public calamity
In case Bryan were 10 be elected.
"All who have remunerative work to
do, all who have wages paid them, and
who have a business to protect and
develop, ell who have money deposited
in savings banks or invested in homes
Of their own, have been confronted
with a threat to reduce the value of
their prosperity by one-half and have
been asked to ratify this suicidal
proposition by their votes.

claims at least the following states for

PREP AIRING FOR
Big CONVENTION
Philadelphia the Mecca Of
Christian ERdeaVOreTS
This Month

Big conventions do not grow of
themselves. 1t takes months of prep
aration for a great meeting like the
state Christian Endeavor Convention
TO be held in Philadelphia. NOV. 20
%. There will be big crowds at the
Second Regiment Armory and the Bap-
list Temple. but getting ready for the
crowds has taken months of hard work
and lots of printers ink.
Early in the Spring w. =. Ellis OF
the printing committee. began his task
Of getting out the literature for the
Convention. Large amounts of printed
mattcF-wcre needed of many kinds and
forms, and TO tho diligent and wise use
OF advertising matter much of the sue
cess OF the Convention viii be due.
The States of Pennsylvania. New Jer-
sey. Delaware. Maryland and District
OF Columbia have been covered. In the
line OF Information, the first thing sent
out was a little Christian Endeav0r
Reminder" In the form of O card book
mark. This went to Societies, Conven-
tions and individuals. Then a neat
folder entitled Concerning the Con-
vention" was distributed. Streamers
giving the place and date of Conven-
ton were sent to all the county meet
ings and picnics. These streamers were
large enough to be easily read in the
largest audience rooms.
The blanks have been numerous and
each had a definite purpose. Among
these have been those pertaining to
the Reception, Entertainment, Finance
and Music Committees; circulars per-
taining % speakers, the chcir Of 1.5O0
voices and its rehearsals and concerts;
slips containing the Convention hymn.
"On to Philadelphia; pamphlets
containing some Of the hymns to be
sung at the Convention; circular let
ters to the little folks about the Junior
Rally. In addition 10 ell this, the
press committee has supplied the news
papers Of Philadelphia and throughout
states covered with articles on the Con-
vention. The whole thus formed an
extensive. systematic. well-planned and
thoroughly carried out plan OF adver
tising The success which shall attend
the Christian Endeavor Convention
will be largely due to the thorough
preparations made and the hard work
and earnest prayer Of Philadelphia
Endeavorers.

Philip Q. Churchman, chairman OF
the Republican State Committee, ant
H. H. Billany, chairman Of the Repub
lican First District Committee, have
been in Philadelphia and had a LONG
talk with z. A. Van Valkenburg, man
ager Of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, relative to the importation Of re
peaters to pad the registration lists II
this city.
Mr.. Van Valkenburg told them that
on Friday, October 10, he was called
upon by one Of the repeaters who had
been engaged to come here and pad
the registration, and he recited the
scheme that twenty men were to come
to Wilmington in charge OF Policeman
Harry Marks and report to State De
tective Bernard J. McVey for instruc-
tions.
Mr.. Van Valkenburg was under the
impression that it was to be done in
the interest Of J. Edward Addicks by
the Quay-Ashbridge- English machine
and, the North American being. op-
posed to Quay, it excited his interest
and opposition. He knew that the
men employed were part of the Quay
machine.
He assigned two reporters to take
up the case. The repeaters were tc
meet in the Hotel Scott, Philadelphia
at Z a. m. on Saturday, October 20, the
last day Of registration in this city
and these reporters Of the North
American were to be there and follow
them to Wilmington.
They saw their informant and the
other men go into the Hotel Scott and
expected they would come out again
the same way. Instead of doing so
they slipped out the back way and
eluded the reporters. Then the re-
porters came on to Wilmington
searched high and low, but failed tc
find the repeaters. On Saturday even
ing the informant met Mr.. Van Val
kenburg in Philadelphia and told him
this story of what was done here:
I'VE met at the Hotel Scott and
went out the back way. Ten of our
party went up to the B. & o. station
at Twenty-fourth and Chestnut streets
and took the train there. The other
ten, including myself, went down Oh
the p. w. & B. railroad. IN charge ol
Harry Marks. The ten who came
down on the B. & o. divided up aftei
they got to Wilmington and met slI
front Of the Bayard Legion clubhouse
in Shipley street, and then went in
The others, who had come down OF
the p, w. G B. railroad, went there
and were met by State Detective Nc
Vey, who made a speech to us, IL
which he said that somebody had leak
ed; that the Republicans were on tC
the game, and that we were bein,
watched. He said the thing woul,

AFRAID 10 TAKE CONTRACTS
ShipbulIdiRg lIindred by Pier Of Market

Harlan and Hollngsworth Company

aggregating $1,000 600 are being held
up by the Market street bridge. An
opportunity is given them to construct
two ocean-going steamships. each 10

In addition to the contracts. it Is
shown that the firm disburses $1,000
