Smyrna Oct 24.-Now THAT the even
ings are cooler, Oae habitues Of the
stores that are locally known as "po-
litical headquarters are beginning to
drop i'm To discuss politics, and already
a few states that are doomed to be
smashed when the county conventions
meet in the late summer are being
made up
The sensation OF Tile day in Smyrna,
and perhaps Of The year, was Governor
John Hunn's statement that he refused
to become the dispenser OF Federal pa
tronage in Delaware. The Addicks con
hngent Of Duck Creek, Kenton and
Little Creek hundreds realize that Mr.
Hum has made a bad break in an
nouncing that he had refused hhis COW
eted position. They are angry through
and through, and do not hesitate to
speak of the States Executive in terms
of disgust. The leaders in upper Kent
have generally referred to Mr. HUM as
Our Governor" and have always
smiled in a knowing way when it was
intlmated that the Wyoming man
was trying TO build around him a party
of followers. who would favor ousting
AuuIcks and substituting Mr.. HUM.
That is all changed now, and the Gov
ernor is not only accused of playing
loose with his party, but It is openly
acknowledged that he has injured the
cause Of the Gasman. Perhaps the
most provoked crowd OF Addicis men
here are those who are particular
friends Of Thomas Jefferson and
Joseph Reynolds, the Union men who
aspire to the postmastership to succeed
Thomas 3. Megear. Mr.. jefferson is a
of the Inner circle" OF Adj
dicks Duck Creek hundred organiza
tion, and has the backing Of the more
influential party workers, while Mr.
Reynolds is the choice Of .he rank and
file of the Union Republicans Suffice
ii to say that the hackers Of each OF
the d-bepcztmasters arewrathy in
their denuneiaticn of Governor HUM.
as his latest interview knocks to smith
Greens their mans postoffiee ambitions.

KENT ADDICKSITES SAY GOVERNOR
HAS INJURED THEIR CAUSE

They now ccncede that Postmaster Me-
gear will be retained in office
The local Regulars take Governor
Hunns funny story" as they term it,
with a grain OF salt. The leaders say
THE Governor is simply making move
in the hope that he may square himself
with Addicks' opponents, whom he has
deceived so many times since his e,ec-
tion.
The Regulars Of the First, Second
and Third representative districts OF
Kent are, TO a man, sanguine that Ad-
dicksism will not only be overthrown
i'm Kent, but that the Gasman himself
win fai, to be elected to THE Senate in
1908. They point out that in this hun
dred, as well as in Kenton and Little
Creek hundreds, the graft worked by
the leaders to The seclusion OF the
lesser lights has created dissatisfaction
in the Union ranks; while the more
conservative men, men who have be
come disgusted with Addicksism and
the odors it has caused to float over
Delaware have made up their minds
to train with the ether people.
There may be two Republican tickets
in the field in all the districts Of Kent,
tAAS AOAnS4 u sA4uANhEAcAAs H4dAliS
of two tickets in the First senatorial
district of this county will insure the
defeat of the Union nominee for State
senator, vino will likely be Dr. T. C.
Moore. Of Smyrna. The Addicks men
realize that tlhe Regulars are more de-
termied in Kent than ever to work
zealously for the defeat CT the Boston
adventurer. Knowing full well the
county closevote, the stand to be taken
by the Regulars means defeat for the
county ticket r. l. Cummins is going
to make a fight to have his name placed
on the Union ticket for clerk OF the
peace. Thomas Jefferson will make Mr.
Cummins fight fer tAe nomination, his
friends say. w. D. Hudson wants to
succeed Sheriff Reedy. There will be
a rev among the faithful before this
question is settled
To sum up the situation here. it can
be said that there is gloom banging
over the Addicks contingent thicker
shan London fog.

FOR THE
BONDS CONTINUES
Mandamus Proceedings May
Bring Them TO Light
Loss Of Documents May Mean Much
10 The Civ Law on the
Subject

City Treasurer Feaster has learned
nothing OF the whereabouts OF the bonds
Of the directors of the Street aud Sewer
Department, and il now looks MS If Il
would require mandamus proceedings
against the directors to bring forth the Of
fetal papers. There seems TO have been
a generally loose method OF procedure in
filing the bonds. Tho law on the subject
s far from being explicit, inasmuch as il
does not say who shall deposit the bonds
with The City Treasurer but simply that
such sureties SHAH be deposited in his
hands subject to the call Of the city
Judge Following is an abstract OF the
ordinance
Each of the directors OF the said
Street and Sewer Department shall inn
medlately after organization. enter into IA
bond with suretes to the Mayor and
Council of Wilmington in the sum OF
thirty thousand dollars. said sureties To
be approved by the CITY Judge the com
ditiOn of which shall be as follows. viz.
The condition of this obligation is such
thAt II one of the directors of the Street
ana Sewer Department shall in an things
comply with the provisions Of this act
and shall faithfully execute the trust CON
iided in him. then the above obligation To-
and virtue To the said board there shall
be suhjolned "a warrant of authority TO

nee of the City Treasurer. there t0 re-
main until Ia the Judgment of the CITY
Judge the interests 0t the city demand

Of the state OF Delaware in and for New

There seems 10 be no uncertainty as 70
the disposition of Patrick Fahey's bond.
as Judge Churchman approved il and
turned IL over "a Horace Greeley
Knowles, Mr.. Fahey's attorney. Where
il Is at this time, however, is unknown.
The bond of james ID. Carter was np-
proved and, although Mr.. Carter con-
tends that he left il with J. Frank Ball.
who says he returned the papers 10 Mr..
Carter, it is said that the bond was in the
| safe in the City Council chamber until
recently II might have been, Mr. Carter
says, that his oath of Office
seen in the archives of the City
Council ana possibly both oath and bond,
/ but he cannot state positively whether
either was there. Former President OF
I Council William ii. Alexander, said that
his Impression was that the bonds OF sew
/ eral of the directors We're in charge of
the Clerk of Council. In reply TO this
statement Mr.. Hamann, Clerk Of Coun-
/ ell, says he never saw any bonds in the
records or documents in his Office.
President Webster contends that his
bond was filed with Former Treasurer
J j. X. Adams. but Mr. Adams left no
record Of having received it.
/ The search for the missing documents
I will be continued. and if unsuccessful,

Says Report of Governors Interview
With President Roosevelt Was
Substantially Correct
INQUIRIES OF STATE OFFICIAL WHEN
M'KINLEY OFFERED HIM PATRONAGE

urged Governor HUM to become "the
dispenser of Federal patronage in Della
ware"
Colonel Barnard was strongly urged
for that place, and it is understood that
Governor HUM favored his appoint
ment. if he did not take an active part
in urging it.
The declaration of Governor HUM
that he refused to dispense the patron
age viii be more than a surprise to the
followers Of Mr.. Addicks. and will be a
severe shock to that gentleman. That
has been the prime object for which
Addicks has been striving since the
action Of the Philadelphia Convention
in seating his delegation and placing
liIiI. MIN on the National Republican Com
Governor HUM is an Addicls man,
or has been so regarded, and the dis
tribution Of the offices would have ma
terially assisted Addicks, even if it
would not have enabled him to control
sufficient number of the members Cf
the legislature with the aid OF Cover
nor HUM. to give him the coveted
aenatorhip The Governor proves as
well as protests too much.
In conclusion, the editor Of the Led
ger has this to say:
Notwithstanding it's discourteous and
Incorporate tone. the Ledger complies
with Governor Hunn's request to print
the above letter sent by him for publi-
cation. Respecting it the Ledger has
for itself a single remark TO make.
which is, that the Governors charge
THAI Major Carson sent the Ledger "an
article which he must have known was
not correct" " is a gross impertinence,
and 50 conspicuously inexact that not
even the Governors defective gram
mar. nor yet his imperial "We." can ex-
cuse. much less justify it. Major Car
son never sent line to the Ledger, nor
to anyone, which he knew was incor-
rect.

New Haven. Conn, Oct. 24.-Before
President Roosevelt left Pennington.
Conn. yesterday morning to come to

Many LETTERS WERE SENT
lSSAILING OFFICERS REPUTATION

Democrats as well as Republicans
are aroused at the dastardly attempt to
assail the reputation of Police CAPTAIN
Black, and from what can be learned
the result Will be a general shake-up
in the Police Department.
1T has now developed that several
anonymous letters have been sent to
various persons, in each Of which tile
same allegation was made. that Cap
tain Black was acting in a manner m-
becoming an officer, inasmuch that lie
had been seem en- frequent occasions in
company with a woman who was not
his wife. The first communication re-
ceived by Captain Black was in March
last, in which it was suggested that ne
resign his position, or stand trial be-
fore the Police Commission for certain
charges. This letter was unsigned, and
Evidently was written by persons who
had malice against the officer.
Shortly afterwards letters were re-
ceived by the Police Commission,
which alleged that Black was not a
proper man to be an officia, Of the Po-
lice Department, and suggested that
his conduct be investigated. All were
unsigned.
After this occurrence three more
anonymous letters were received, one
by President Clarkson. OF the Police
Commission, one by Mrs. Black and
the third addressed to the Board of PO-
lice Commissioners. These were in the
same handwriting, evidently that Of a
man, and SET forth that Captain Black
was acting in a manner that should be
Investigated
IL was not the intention Of the board
that the matter should be taken up but
owing to the fact that names We're
given. that body has decided that the
'ubiect should be looked into and that
Black should be either vindlcated or
the charges withdrawn.
MRS. BLACK UNcoNcERNED
When seen this morning Mrs. Black
was apparently unconcerned about the
matter. and placed no credeice in the
letter sent to her. She said to the re-
porter who called upon her:
Evening journal., 1901-10-24

You can say for me that / don't be-
lieve any OF the statements made in the
letter l received. They do not inhu-
ence me one way nor another. / have
perfect confidence in my husband, and
any letters sent to me. especially by
persons who are so contemplate as to
refuse t0 sign their names, are not
worthy OF consideration. If their OBJ
iect was to break up my home they
have made a most miserable failure
of it,"
Captain Black has determined that
the charges made against him must be
investigated, and IL his innocence is es-
tablished he will insist than the
writer's OF the anonymous letters be
punished to the ful extent Of the law.
He llas in his possession damaging
evidence against several persons whom
he believes to be concerned in the at
tack against him and whom hesays must
suffer the consequences. Although Cap.
tain Black feels that the commission
should ignore any anonymous commu.
nications presented, he will demand
THAT, as long as the matter has been
made public, dhat a full investigation
shall be made. He says that the
husband Of the woman has made no
charges against him, and, in fact. de-
nies That the statements are true. Ii is
said that this man viii appear before
the board, and demand that his wife's
name be left out Of the question.
as all talk about her is without founda
ton.
