INSTRUCT FOR BRYAN.

The Delawarean was established in
1859, and during all the years of its
existence it has tried to maintain
Democratic principles and to aid in
the election of Democratic candidates.
1t stands for the whole party, and not
for faction. 1t never advocates the
nomination of any man, but when cam
didates are regularly named, they are
sure of its hearty and loyal support.
What we are about to urge is no real
exception Ito the rule. If there were
the slightest doubt as to The Demo-
cratic nomination for President, or as
to the wishes of the Democrats of Della
ware, this article would not be written.
But the Democratic candidate has long
been determined upon. Nothing but
death or his positive declination can
prevent the nomination of William J.
Bryan. He is not only the choice of
an overwhelming majority of the
Democrats of the country but the
choice of the majority in every State
The politicians and managers, in many
States, are against him, and would like
to send hostile delegates to Kansas
City. But Bryan has hold upon the
people which politicians have been un-
able to shake. In every State where
there has been an attempt to oppose
him, he has triumphed The Demo-
cratic people are with him and in
tend to nominte him.
The Democrats of Delaware are in
hearty accord with the party elsewhere
A large majority of the Democrats in
every county Of the 81 te. not less
than nine-tenths, are j favor of the
nomination OF Nj Bry. eey intend
thar he shall have tie Ole Of b a.
ware, both in ne II p.u4l'nr conven-
tion and in the electoral college. Yet
there are persistent rumors that his
opponents are scheming to deprive him
of some of the votes which this State
is entitled to cast for him at Kansas
City. Republican newspapers make
boastful claims that delegates will be
sent from this State opposed to the
man who will surely be the Democratic
candidate and who is no less surely the
choice of the party in Delaware.
The Democrats of Delaware owe it
TO themselves and to their party to
prevent the misrepresentation of their
sentiments at Kansas City. If, as we
believe, Mr.. Bryan is the choice of
such an overwhelming majority of the
party in Delaware, the State Conven-
tion should instruct it's delegates 10
cast the vote of this State as a unit in
favor of his nomination. No delegate
willing to carry out the wishes of his
constituency can object to such in
struction, and no person unwilling to
voice and sentiment of his party should
be permitted to misrepresent the Della
ware Democracy of Kansas City.

CULLMAN, Ala, Aug. 15.-Ira Aaron

the Sanford Bridge settlement, Is miles
west of the city, are in the county Jail
here on a charge of murder, they having

used was knife of extraordinary length,
which struck deep into Bailey's heart
and death resulted in five minutes.
Aaron makes the following statement,
claiming that he killed Bailey in self
defense:
The men quarreled about the owner
ship Of sheep and blows were ex-
changed. In the scuff1e which followed
Aaron s arm was dislocated. Bailey Sc
cured a heavy stick and advanced to-
ward Aaron, declaring that he would
kill him. Aaron, suffering from the dis
location of his arm, and being unable to
grapple with his assailant, asked his
son, who was standing near, and who
was the only witness to the death strug-
gle, to give him knife. Bailey con-
tinued his advance and when within
striking distance Aaron plunged the
knife into his heart.

TRAGEDY OVER A SHEEP

Greenville-Ki Kicked to Death by a
Horse-Killed Over Cards.
GRAND RAPIDS, Aug. 15.-The north
bound Northland express, which left
this city at 4:05 o'clock and passenger
train No 2, due here at 8 o'clock, col
hded in a fog early this morning at
Pierson, 30 miles north Of Grand Rapids,
Nine lives are supposed to have been lost
and many passengers were injured,
some severely. Both engines and the
baggage cars were completely demol'
ished. The killed as far as known are
w. Ell. Fish, engineer on southbound
train.
Gustav Grootfeldt, engineer on north
bound train.
M, Let's, conductor of No. 3.
- Levan, baggagemaster Of No. 2.
The firenen Of both engines are sup
posed to be dead.
Six bodies have been taken from the
wreck and it is believed the bodies OF
several others are still buried III the
mass of broken iron and wood. Eight
persons, supposed to be fatally injured,
were taken to the hotel at Pierson. Men
are at work endeavoring to reach the
dead and injured.
When the trains met the fog was sc
thick that the engineers could not see
more than 100 yards ahead. They should
have passed at Sand Lake, 2 miles south
Of Pierson, at 4:62 O'Clock. No. 2 was
evidently late and was trying to make
the siding at Pierson.
The Northlapd express had the right
of way, and was going at nearly full
speed.
Either the engineers blundered in
their orders or were unable to see the
signals on account of the fog.
A telephone message from Pierson
says the engineers and firemen of both
trains were killed, as well as five other
persons.
The express train was made largely OF
Pullman cars. 1t carried the Grand
Rapids coach, a day coach, several
sleepers from Cincinnati and the south
buffet car and tho baggage car.
