LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE

WlLMlNGroN, Del, Feb. 8, 1900.
EDIToR or TIE SIS:
Sir Since nv announcement in THE
Sun oil February 8, in regard to chronic
growlers, the Regulars have turned down
the Union Republicans propositions for
harmony. counter proposition has
been formed by few ungrateful politi-
cal schemers, not for the benefit Of the
Republican party but to enable them to
hold offices.
In their third proposition they ostra-
cize Mr.. Addicks from the contest for
Senator. There are hundreds Of disiu-
terested people aside from Republicans
who say that Mr.. Addicks is entitled to
a seat in the Senate at Washington. AT
the last State election the Union and
Regular Republicans comprised and
elected certain candidates to the Legis-
latnre. They obligated themselves to go
into the caucus and support the caucus
nominee. They did not appear, and
made all kinds of excuses.
When the Legislature went into ses-
sion there was ohe law passed by the
| Union Republicans and Democrats
that of 40 per cent. off OF water taxes,
thereby beneiiting the workingman who
owned his little home. The outcome
was that the so-called Republican com
mittee visited Dover and held y cinfti- :
ence with The Governor, and the water
i bill was never signed Why were the
| Regulars in June, 1899, SO ahXions TO
elect Mr. Bush for Mayor OF Whining
ton There were some interested parties
in the Wilmington City Gas plant, and
with Mr. Bush as Mayor it would give
/ the Regular Rppubicans the Street and
Sewer Commissioners, and Mr.. Addicks'
gas pipes would never supply cheap gas
to the people Of Wilmington. Voters,
you proclaim these rights for the benefit
Of the people by voting the Union Re
publican ticket next fall. Mr.. Clerk was
not wantunly nominated for Mayor; he
was the choice OF nearly 1000 voters
and without being elec'ed.
The Regulars became frightened wher
they found they could not get Mr.. Clerk
They issued spurious circulars ano
placards, announcing that Mr.. Clerk haC
withdtawn from the contest, and asked
for votes for George w. Bush tor Mayor
That meant the loss of hundreds o
votes for MIR. Clerk and his ultimate de
feat.
Then the Regulars said that Mr.. CleIl
, had entered TIL; race to benefit Mr.. Ad
/, dicks. This is not 80. Mr.. Clerk is
gentleman whom any one can approach
The Regulars entered into dastard
scheme v hen they issued the circular
q to condemn him and the Union Reput
licaus must be victorious by the vote G
the masses, which will benefit the who

settlement of the Senatorial question
until after the election OF the members
OF the Legislature. If by any possibility
Addicks should be 80 fortunate as to be
elected, we suppose the people will not
be greatly shocked by such catastrophe.
Much greater calamity might follow the
defeat OF the party through Democratic
legislation. Laws as infamous as those
enacted through the Goebel influence in
Kentucky, might be passed. All Repub-
licans shonld unite to prevent such legis-
latiop. II they do not, their very names
may become reproach in the estimation
of the great mass Of voters for years to
come. OF course the Democrats are
pleased by their action, as it promises to
give them complete victory in the
State. Salisbury and Handy are already
congratuating themselves on their elec
tion to the United States Senate, and the
triumph of their party in the State. 1t is
singular how sensible Republicans can
permit themselves to become mere CATS
paws to draw tile nuts out OF the fire for
the Democrats to crack. We hope all
may be warned in time and the party
saved from defeat There should be a
union on legislative candidates and on
candidates for the local offices in the
different hundreds, and thus preserve a
nucleus for organization at future cleo
tions, if the Democrats do not manage to
make it so difficult to vote that r publ
can success Will be an impossibiiity.

A SUPERB JOB LOT.
I'm the Philadelphia Times Of Yesterday.

From the Philadelphia Times OF Yesterday.
The campaign OF 1900 will have su-
perb job lot of national candidates.
Wharton Barker of this city, has been
nominated for President year or 50 ago,
with lgnatius Donnelly, tf Minnesota,
for Vice President, who is also Phila-
Gelphian, by one of the many branches
of the cheap money organizations.
Last week the Socialist Labor party,
that is also one Of the fingers and toes oi
the cheap money organizations with a
very decided tendency toward agrarian-
ism, nominated Job Harrison Of Cali
fornia, for President, and Max Hayes, of
Ohio, for Vice President. This o,ganiza-
tion, that is not likely to carry town
ship in the United States, declares that
both the Democratic and Republican
parties are mere tools OF the capitalist
class.
In addition to these we will have the
regulation Prohibition ticket, the Pupu-
| list ticket, the Democratic ticket and the
Republican ticket, with the likelihood oI
a few more thrown III. This is a very
free country, auo every natiVe- born clti-
zen who is Old enough can b, come g
candidate for President If lie wants to dc

number of American citiz ms, however
small, initiating the three taiors OF Tao

ORE FROM THE ORINoCo.
4 Cargo From n Venezuela Mine Ar
riyes in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Jan 6.-The British
steamer Tresco. Captain Barker, has ar
rived and anchored off SDarrow's Point,
with about zoo tons of iron ore from Ma
noa. Venezuela, where iron ore deposits
have been developed about seventy miles
above the mouth OF the Orinoco River. The
Tresco is the first merchant steamer to
load ore there and her small cargo is
accounted for by the uncertainty of the
depth of water at the mouth of the great
river
The ore is from the mines of the 0rinoco
Iron Company. which developed the mines.
The company is being assisted by the Unit
ed States Government to have the river
mouth surveyed and give accurate charts
for the future use of commerce To this
end the United States ship Dolphin, Lieut..
Comdr. W Fl. II. Switzerland. was des-
patched there from Washington last No
vember to make a thorough survey. Cap
tain Barker says he left the Dolphin par
ties hard at work of Barima Point, at the

board. From three to six months will be

oNTARIo's Low BIRTH RATE.
statistics show That IL Is rs Small
as That of France.
lFrJfn the New Aork sun,

lFrJm the New yrk SUM-
The recent publication of the statistics
of births and deaths in the province OF On
tar!O for 1898 reveals an alarming cOndi-
ton of affairs.
Last year there was an animated discus
sion in the Ontario provincial synod of the
alarming diminution in the provincial birth
rate. All kinds Of explanations were Of
fered and in some places reflections were
made upon the accuracy of the statistics.
Since that time special efforts have been
made to secure the registration of every
birth. and in making up the totals at the
end o. the year the sJatistician has added
10 per cent OF the whole in order to allow
FOR any possible omissions.
The result shows no Improvement upon
last years figures. The total birth rate
of the province shows as small a percent
age as the birth rate of France. which is
lower than that of any other country OF
Europe, and almost as low as that of the
States Of Maine. Vermont. and New Hamp-
shire
\ comparison Of the statistics for the
different counties of the province shows
that the birth rate is highest in the coun-
ties which have a large French Canadian
population. In the purely Engish-speak-
ing counties the birth rate is quite as low
as in any OF the New England States no
tudtttl HOW uNLLtIOl> bHt IudIEldEtSs
A few years ago the number of French
Canadians in Ontario could be counted by
hundreds. Now they number upward OF
10000. As there is no exodus Of popula-
ton from France to Canada. and as there
has been scarcely any during the past two
centuries. all the increase in the French
population of Canada since 1851 has been
from within. The census of that year gave
the total number of French Canadians as
800. BY doubling itself every twenty
seven years this population has now IN
creased to 2.200 900.
In a little more than a century and a
quarter, at the present rate of progress
the French Canadian population of the
North American Continent viii exceed TO-
100000. The French-Canadian newspapers
are already anticipating the time when
their people will control the destinies of
Ontario and probably those OF the northern
states as we'll
