VALID AS TO GOVERNOR.
There is no question, of course of the
regularity of throwing out these votes
as to president, but that the governor
and other candidates should suffer by
reason of the inadvertence of the voter
in this respect is not seriously urged by
any one, and from the reports which have
been received at headquarters there is
serious reason to believe that real in
Justice was done the present governor
in the count of the vote last Tuesday

The matter of contest is being serious

late state election are reported they
will show, if any by small plurality
for S, r.. Van SAINT and fully believing
an injustice has been done you and that
irregularities exist throughout the state
and that a recount will show you are
elected governor, We do petition yoU as
First-That you contest said election,
with S. r. Van SAINT for the Office Of
governor.
Second--We agree to raise all the funds
possible to help defray the expenses IT
said contest, and that you will grant our
request we will ever pray
Many have signiAed a willingness to
contribute to the necessary expense of a

The suggestion has also been made
that it would be well to secure the OPEN
ing of the ballot boxes in a few localf-
ties, probably one or two counties con-
tanning a more congested center of popu-
lation, and one or two chosen from the
rural localities. Then if serious dis
creparcies should be found in favor Of
the present governor, there would be
presented not only justification, but an
urgent reason for a thorough re-canyass
of the vote throughout the state.

In January, 1866, Mr. Willard ex&p3- Pc
rienced the most important event Of MS
active career, when he was Joined IN
marriage with Miss Fannie, the only
daughter of William Lloyd Garrison, the
devoted and successful champion Of Gnti-
slavery.
HIS ENTRY INTO FINANCE.
It was in 1874, while on a visit to
Germany, that Mr. Willard began his ca
reer as a inancier Frankfort and Ber-
lin bankers, bOndholderS of certain rail-
roads that had defaulted in America in
the distressing panic of 1873, sent him to
this country as their representative to
report on the condition of the Kansas
Pacific and the Oregon & California rail-
roads. He returned to Europe and later
came back to the United States, becom-
ing first one of the receivers of the
Kansas Pacific, whose bonds he bought
up, and later assumed the presidency of
the road.
In 1879 Mr.. Willard organized the Ore
which obtained control of the steamship
and steamboat lines of Oregon and
Washington territory. He then began the
construction of a system of railroads to
and the new wheat and pasture country
east of the Cascade mountains. A short
time afterward he merged these two
companies into a sort of "blind pool
with the Northern Pacific of which the
former roads were its Western feeders
or extensions Mr.. Willard was chosen
A few years later these companies met
with heavy loss in Which Mr.. Willard
shared extensively.
He returned to Germany once more and
recouped his fortune, whereupon he came
back to the United States and reassumed
his place as a capitalist. Notwithstand-
ing this brief respite in the prosperous
career of Mr.. Willard he carried to a
successful completion his gigantic under
takings, having the satisfaction of driv-
ing the last spike in the Northern Pacific
road on the Pacific slope in September,
LEFT THE N. P. IN 1898.
Under the Willard, regime the Northern
Pacific advanced rapidly, and the deVel-
opment of the territory through which
It extended kept pace with the growth of
the road. In 1889 Mr.. Willard became
chairman of the board of directors of the
16Ga f0ad' withdrawing from the position in
1873. He severed his connection with the
road as its manager at this time.

COLONEL QUAY'S CASE.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer of Yesterday.
Senator Chandler had intended TO call
up the Quay case during the week and
had announced his intention, but on
Tuesday there was a general agreement
that nothing should interfere with the
discussion Of the financial bill until the
day of its passage, which will he on
Thursday next. 1t was an amicable ar
rangement, and the supporters OF Quay
maue no objection to it whatever. 1t is
possible that il no one desires to speak on
the finances tomorrow or the next day
Chandler will insist on opening the case,
otherwise it will go over until Friday.
Senators Cullom and Foraker, both Of
whom will vote for Quay, are anxious to
get up the Hawaiian and Puerto Rican
bills az soon as the Currency question is
settled, but it is believed that the Quay
case will have the right of way on Fri
day next. Probably not more than a
week will be necessary to settle it.
Various speeches will be made on both
sides, and they are sure to be interesting.
Those who have opposed Quay on tine
ground that if he were seated the Coy
ernor OF California would send a some-
what notorious person to the Senate have
lost that argument, for the California
Legislature in extra session has elected
Thomas r. Bard, former Pennsylvan-
ian, and it is said that Mr.. Bard will
support Senator Quay.

WANTS TO GO TO CONGRESS-.

Robert H. Wilson, editor of the
Smyrna Call, has announced his candi-
dacy to the Democratic leaders, for Dela-
wares lone seat in the National House
Of Representatives Mr.. Wilson's candi.
dacy has been talked OF Tor some time,
but he has not consented to the use of
his name until today, and the announce
ment is believed to assure an aggressive
candidacy. Mr.. Wilson lives on his fine
farm about five miles from Dover on the
bay shore. He, with John +. Salisbury,
who cast the first vote for Bryan at
Chicago, was one of the first free coinage
men in Delaware. His only opponent for
the Congressional nomination is believed
to be former Governor Robert J. Rev
nolds, who has not yet announced his
candidacy, but has been prominently
spoken OF. AS this is the year for Kent
county to select the Congressional candi-
date, the nomination is believed to Law
between Assemblyman Wilson and ex-
Governor REYNOLDS, with the chances in
favor Of Mr.. Wilson, because of his fealty
to Bryan, and the fact that he is said to
be Bryan's choice.

UNION REPUBLICANS
TO GO FORWARD

From the Dover State Sentinel OF Saturday.
Whatever may have been the expecta-
tlon or hope of certain individuals as to
the outcome of last Tuesdays meeting Of
the Stare committee of the so-called Reg
ulars, we we're not surprised or disap-
pointed. Indeed, we rather expected
the proposition of the Union Republi-
cans to be rejected, for the reason that
the gentlemen composing the committee,
at least mum ber of them, and especial
ly those from Kent and Sussex, have al
ready made record in aiding and sup
porting the Democratic party.
The vote to reject the proposition,
therefore, was but the formal declaration
What they prefer Democratic supremacy
p united Republican party in which
thev have ceased to be factors for good
or evil.
The committee, as a whole, was not
made up OF representative men; that is,
representatives of the loyal Republican
sentiment of the State. Every man who
has honestly followed the trend OF poll
tlcal thought must know that the people
at large, the mass Of voters who have
held allegiance to the Republican party,
have not weakened, In one iota, in that
allegiance; that they are eager to be led
agalst the Democratic hosts, and to do
battle as OF old for Republican principles
and Republican success. rully assured
OF tins, we have contended Tor the SUBJ
mission of the whole question to the
people, without reference to what are
called the leaders. We have not
shadow of a doubt that if the question is
ever submitted to the people the de-
clsion OF last Tuesday will be reversed; ;
hat tt1 H.,
sion for the future.
Last Tuesdays meeting was but
another step in the winnowing process
that has been going on since tue bolt in
1896. Every move and turn and effort
that has been made in Republican poll
tics has proved to be Sitting of the good
grain from the chaff, with the gratifying
result that the chaff is about well nigh
eliminated. Every movement has re-
suited in the strengthening vi the Union
Republican organization and in the in
crease OF its members. In a like ratio,
the so-called Regulars have decreased in
strength, in numbers and unity.
Harmony, concerted effort and action,
wisely directed toward the redemption
OF the State from Democratic misrule,
characterizes the one organization, while
the other fritters its strength away in
petty dissensions and in feeble attempts
to obstruct the victorious march of the
only organization that ever won a Re-
pabiican victory in the State.
The plans of the Union Republicans
are well mltured; they will undergo no
change as the result of last Tuesdays de-
cision by the s. allied Regulars. Our
appeal is to the people with an abiding
confidence that their loyalty to principle
and their inherent common sense will
triumph in the end. Let us go forward.

KILLING THE GOOSE.

From the Boston Post
 Many manufacturers are coming to real ize that in pushing up the price of commod- dties they are reducing consumption. That, in fact, they are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
 This Is especially true in the case of those who have entered into trust combinations in res traint of trade. Fortified and protect ed by the republican tariff, they have been able to increase the price of their products ito consumers, and the consumers have sought to protect themselves by using less and buying less There is a slackening in demand since the holiday trade closed, with the prospect that the spring and sum- mer trade will even show a falling off from the figures of last year.
 The trusts unquestionably are killing our export trade, and the treasury reports of the new year will show this-when we get them in detail, two months hence. There is practically no paper exported today. The Lancashire mills are underquoting Ameri- can cotton goods in the Chinese market. It is only question of time, unless the home prices are put down, when foreign wooens will come in here on equal terms.
 There are natural laws in the commercial world which even trust combinations can- not set aside.

FORTUNES OF THE BLAINEs.

 I met Joseph Manley of Maine few days ago and asked him If MT. Blaine's family had not improved their fortunes by a good disposition of the property he left them.

 Blaine's house in Washington has been for some time rented by the Westinghouse family, which came from the adjacent part of the country of MT. Blaine. It is said that Westinghouse was brakeman on the railroad and fell in love with his wife at an eating station, where she was bright and vivacious.
 Years ago Mr. Blaine came to my house and put his finger on the map and showed me where his coal lands lay.
 Instead of deriving fortune from that coal he made it out of real estate in the city of Washington, where for years he did not think it worth his while to buy a lot

RUSSIA WANTS TYPEWRITERS.

From the Detroit Free Press.
 The latest Russian information received indicates that considerable modification Of the imperial Russian law affecting the use of typewrfters in that country is about to take place. Hitherto this machine has been restricted to such individuals as could obtain special permission, as 1t was feared that the general use of this apparatus would greatly facilitate the machinations of the nfhilistic element. Foreign business houses were almost the only ones making a liberal use of the typewriter Of late years however, Russian industry and com merce have extended at such rapid rate and the educated element available for the purpose of correspondence is relatively so small, that the Russian government has at last admitted the necessity of aceeding to the wishes of Russian merchants, Of course, this means a considerable exten- sion of American trade.
