The Delaware Situation.

Governor Hupn's decision not TO call
an extra session of the Delaware legis-
lature so as to give the Republican fac
tions another opportunity to get to-
gether and elect two United States Sem
ators is not as discouraging TO Repub-
Iieans in Washington as may be thought
by persons unacquainted with the ways
OF politicians. While it is conceded that
the governor could have called an ex
ira session If the factionlsts had been
able in advance to agree upon COM
promise whereby the Republicans could
have gained two seats in the Senate, 1t
is recognized as a fact OF significance
that the party managers would hare
preferred to take this risk rather than
surrender wholly to the Democrats, if it
were settled that the latter have the ad-
vantage in the pending campaign for the
new legislature. In other words, it is
evident that the Republican managers
are entirely satisfied with the outlook
in Delaware, and that some new plan
has been adopted TO prevent the Demo-
Gratis frc.n carrying the legislature ia
the election next month. At the same
time. Messrs. Kenny and Salisbury, ths
Democratic candidates for the two Sem
ate seats. sent word to Washington only
yesterday that they now feel confident
of sweeping victory in the coming
election. and that Delaware will again
be placed in the Democratic column.

SIDE LIGHTS ON
NATIONAL POLITICS.
Babcock Very Reticent.

All efforts to induce the Hon. J. W.
Babcock, chairman OF the Republican
Congress campaign committee. to give
publicity to his opinion as to the result
of the election for the House have thus
far failed. AT his headquarters In New
York Saturday night Mr.. Babcock talked
guardedly. but little more hopefully
of the outlook than he has heretofore.
He points out that the Republicans
may lose one seat by reason of the fail
ure OF the candidate of that party in
the Ninth district of Kentucky to prop
erly file his nomination papers with the
election authorities for position on the
official ballot. In his latest talk Mr..
Babcock refers discreetly to weak
spots" in the West which he Is nrw
striving to strengthen. and to the in
itiated he means plainly to hint that
his committee is badly in need OF funds
with which to look after these weak
spots. Chairman Griggs. of the Demo-
cratic committee. went from headquar-
ters in Washington to New York Sat
urday, and it is understood that the
principal object of his visit TO the me-
tropolis was TO get some much needed
money for use In the closing days of the
campaign.

Receiver for a Statesman.

The Hon. Daniel ]. Riordan, for
mer New York Congressman, who is
now a Tammany candidate for the State
Senate. waas haied to court the other
day in supplementary proceedings He
pleaded that his sole earthly possession
was the suit of clothes he wore. APP
plication had been made for the ap-
pointment of a receiver for Riordan.
but when he solemnly averred that he
owned nothing except the clothes he
had on, the court acknowledged that it
was without precedent to proceed fur
ther with the case along the line adopt
ed by the prosecution. Mr.. Riordan even
testified that ne had no income. no cash,
no watch. no jewelry. If the cost of liv-
ing is not too high at Albany this wiz
ter. Mr.. Riordan doubtless will be able
to accumulate modest competency as
a member of the State Senate merely
by adopting the wellknown policy of
the soubrette, who gets rich By saving
her salary.

Poor Chance for Mr.. Turner.

Democrat who recently travelled ex-
tensiveiy through the State of Wa sa'is-
ton, part OF the time in the company Of
Senator Turner, sends word to this city
that the chances are all against The re-
turn of Mr.. Turner to the Senate. Ee
says. in fact, that the Senator himself,
although making courageous fight.
realizes that the prospect is almost
hopeless and remarked few days ago
that he had not one chance in twenty Of
election 1t appears that the State of
Washington is now safely Republican.
and that the change Of political COM
plexion has been brought about by the
heavy immigration of Republicans in the
past four years. With the death of
Governor Rogers. the Populists were
left without strong leadership. and there
has been produced a combination which
even Senator Turner is not strong
enough to overcome When his term
expires next March. Senator Turner
probably will permanently retire from

Floored the Populist.

That the Populist party is not yet
extinct was evidenced by an occurrence
ir Kentucky a few days ago. At a
Democratic county convention held at
Harrodsburg, the home Of the ferocious
Col. Jack Chinn. the Hon. John A. Par
ker. referred to as the national chair
man OF the Populist party, insisted upon
making a speech. Although the chair
man told him he had no right to the
floor. the Populst national chairman
persisted in his efforts, and was
silenced only by two of Colonel Jack
Chinn's neighbors assaulting and knock
ing him dewn. Then he was dragged out
of the hall. followed by the ieers of the
indignant Democrats that there goes
