GANNAN'N GRAB
AGAIN DENOUNCED
Salisbury Agrees With Re-
DubIiCanS That COnYen-
tiOn Was a Farce

Willard Salisbury. chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
considers the Addicks Convention and
its doing farcicaL In an itnerview yes
terday he said:
1T was the biggest exhibition Of boss
ism ever sen in this country. The idea
Of a man setting up ticket for po-
Mtical convention and ordering that
convention to nominate that ticket.
People everywhere tell me that they
are disgusted with the Dover exhibi-
tion. It seems certainly like an effort
to change the directors of the Bay State
Gas Company from the payroll of that
company to the payroll of the State of
Delaware. It's directors. and even its
chief attorney are placed upon the
ticket blythe machine movement, and If
those men are allowed to remain where
they were placed yesterday, the Demo-
cratic majority will be from 5000 up
to goodness knows where"
CONVENTION WAS A FARCE.
The convention was such a bold
farce that not even the formality OF
electing delegates to it was thought
necessary in New Castle county. Secret
and convenient local political commit.
tees, so-called, named the men to sit
as delegates and ratify the resolutions
and determination of Addicks and his
board. If it were not for the audacity
OF the whole proceedings, it would be
the roaring political farce Of the
United States.
rs it dangerous? Yes, of course il
is. and just because of the audacity OF
the performers and the keen, shrewd
persistent and untiring way in which
the political conspiracy is worked out
along business lines. The Addicks
followers must show results in the ac-
quisitiOn OF new followers, and for 'ac-
quiring' needed voters the old Indiana
blocks-of-ten system would be laughed
to iscarn, by the Union Republican
workers. They have produced a condi-
tion in Delaware where if Addicks
could drive the Regular Republicans
to support his candidates the Regulars
the Addicksites and the acquired
! Democrats would make a majority ot
the whole. But the decent, non-office
seeking Republicans, who can't stom.
ach the dictation of Addicks and hi.
political employees and the practices O
the Union Republican workers. have S,
/ far evinced too much state pride ant
self-respect to be coerced into tn,
support of the NOMINEES of this pretens'
Of political party.
THINKS NOMINEES WILL DE
CLINE.
Take the action of the Addicks con
vention at Dover. l feel almost assure,
that Manlove Hayes, George S. Capell
] and Cornelius Swayne viii regard tn
!, use OF their names by the Addicks peO
\ pie as an insult. Even their strong at
tachment to legitimate Republicanisn
\ will gcarcely cause them to allow III
\ printing Of their names on the Addick
ticket. They win certainly not formal
!, ly accepted their nominations and vii
withdraw their names unless the Regu
lar Republicans insist on nominatin
them, also in the hepe of helping tn
national ticket.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
DIsappearanee Of a RaIIMaY PerII
-m the PhIladelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
No feature of railway service has
cost more lives than that of coupling
freight cars by the old-time method,
which required a train hand to go be-
tween two cars to do the coupling. With
yesterday this practically have became
a danger of the past, the automatic
cOupleIs having been substituted by the
requirement Of the law upon nearly all
Of the 100000 freight cars Of the
country, the limit in which the change
must be made expiring on Wednesday.
The process of making the change
has been necessarily a gradual one ex-
tending over a period of seven years
the act of Congress requiring the en-
plOyment of automatic cOuplers hav-
ing been passed in 1893. The original
act required the changes to be made
within a period of five years. This
was found to be physically impossible
however, and the time was extended
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission first to January 1, 1900, anC
then to August / in order that the few
cars still uncquipped might be made
to conform to the requirements Of The
law.
The great army of railway employe'
are to be congratulated upon the re
movll Of this particular danger to life
and limb in connection with their call
| ing. The handling of railway cars il
motion is a hazardous ealing whel
every prevontable peril has been elimi
mattel. The coupling of freight cars b.
I the old method has been demonstrates
to be one Of the unnecessary perils O
railway service, and with the substi
tuition OF the automatic coupler tn
number of casualties to railway EN-
[ ployes will doubtless be very mater
| tally decreased.
4 The railway corporations will b
quite as much the gamers by tn
change as their employees, for with tn
J new device the coupling of cars vii
} be greatly facilitated as well as mad
i less dangerous. The saving in tim
) will doubtless soon pay the cost OF tn
change. With the disappearance OF tn
old car coupler everybody will be tn
! gamer. and the law passed by Con
i gress seven years ago will have CON
pletely demonstrated the wisdom of II
p trainers.

who knew the difference between an
oath to execute the behests of the
state, and fealty to party. He was in

One Of the many sad consequences
attending the assassination of King
Humbert Of Italy is the effect the
crime has had on the brother of the
regicide He is a popular lieutenant
in the Italian army, and was an ardent
admirer of King Humbert When ii
became known to him that Humbert
was dead. and that his own brother had
committed the crime, he stigmatized
the act as brutal and cowardly. Since
then he has gone to the colonel Of his
regiment and announced his intention
Of resigning from the army, recogniz-
ing, as he says, that his military ca
reer ended with the shots fred by his
brother at Monza. That Lieutenant
Bresci has the sympathy Of his brother

compensate him in part for his retire
