WILMINGTON. DELAWARE, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY IL, i

it as they will the Democrats find that
the next Legislature is to be Republl-
can, with.a Union Republican majority
in the Republican delegation. This as
certained fact is believed to shut Ken
ney, Handy and Salisbury out of the
Senatorial race. The man-Democrat-
who wins must get Republican votes. To
make this possible the Republican fac
tional fight must be kept up, and the
Anti-Addicks votes in the Legislature be
secured for Democratic candidate. 1t
is the uncertainty of doing this for any
one that has alarmed the Democrats.
the thought. that Republican harmony
is possible makes Democrats Respondent
and desperate-sets them to codd.ing
the Regulars and cursing the Union Re-
publicans.
This, of course, has led to proposals
tor an alliance, the basis of which is q
division OF Senatorial honors, between
the allies; the State offices that can be
won by the alliance to go to the Demo-
Gratis, and the Federal offices to the
Regulars. 1t is confidently said here
that this agreement is at the bottom OF
the contemptuous refusal of the Union
Republican proposition for harmony.
/ The author of the scheme, as | said in q
former letter, is George V. NJ assey, and
the Democratic beneficiary of it, asst al
fects the Senatorial matter is John
Biggs; the Republican is Colonel du
Pont, both of whom are proteges OF Mas
sev. The first idea about this was tt
| hitch Bird and Biggs together in Sena
torial harness. Bird appears to have
been willing, but the approval OF Pfesi
dent Mckinley was necessary for the
success OF the scheme. TO assure this
and tie assent OF the du Pont following
Bird was pushed aside for du Pont.
This means that Biggs and dupont arr
political yoke fellows under the direc
tion OF Massey, and that the comblna
ton will have the backing of the Penn
/, sylvania Railroad interests in this State
II means that the depleted Democrati
'bar'P' will be replenished a railroad

: Can it be made?
4 The makingof this deal affords tn
> only means of saving the Republica
! boilers from ruin, and the Democrat
8 patty from disastrous defeat. To max
!. it the Democrats are on their knees bei

GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. 22.-The
conditions at Galveston continue to
rapidly improve. People are so busy
that they have little time to mourn

fortunate for the sufferers for instead

forget their troubles and lend help

tients in the various hospitals is much
smaller than would have been expected
considering the number Of dead. This
is due to the fact that. few who were

alive. There are several hundred per.
sons who were more or less bruised,
but their wounds are rapidly healing.
