if Elected President.

Delaware's delegation to the National
Democratic Convention lef the Delaware
avenue B. & o. station at 1856 o'clock
yesterday afternoon for Kansas City.
The party included John g. Gray and
former Congressman L. Irving Handy,
the delegates from New Castle county,
and George H. DRAPER and Edward d.
Hearne, the delegates from Sussex
county. Willard Salisbury, the chair
man Of the new Democratic State Com
mittee; John H. Layton, an alternate
from Sussex county, and James S. Wise,
OF Dover.
A number OF prominent Democrats
saw them eff Senator r. r. kenney
and former speaker of the Senate Heze-
kiah Harrington started for the west
Friday. The former is National Com
mitteeman.
The party will occupy quarters at the
Coates House. The gold Democrats
were conspicuous by their absence, both
in the makeup of the party and those
who saw them off
It is understood that one Of the first
things to be done after the delegation ar
rives will be in the shape of an effort to
put quetus on the chances Of Senator
Richard r. Kenney succeeding himself
on the National Committee. This is a
plan of Hand, g. 1t is understood that
John G. Gray wants the place. Kenney
also wants it, but the other side claims
that Kenney has enough, in view OF the
fact that he is the only representative
from Delaware in either branch of the
national Legislature. He is also the
member of the Democratic Congressional
Committe, and his opponents claim he
should be satisfied.
This does not appear to strike Mr..
Kinney favorably, and he and his friends
will make an effort to again secure him
the honor.
1t is claimed by the friends OF Kenney
that Handy and Gray, who are both
candidates for Senator, fear kenney and
want to show the people that he is not
the only man in the party. In the mean.
time there are rumors that Kenney and
Salisbury have made deal which will
elect both of them in the event OF Demo-
cratic success, but this is denied by all
who are concerned.
The delegation will vote for Bryan for
President.
For Vice Presidency Senator Kenney is
in favor OF David B. Hill of New York,
while former Congressman Handy is

members of the delegation are said ta
be in favor of Pattison but it is likely
that all will go to Danforth or Hill before
the vote is taken.

not look for anything from William ]
