Al ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
citizens Agree to > Tax Levy
Tor International.

A large and enthusiastic crowd OF
citizens met In the district couri
room last night to discuss ways anc
means for securing the Internation'
al railway. A keen interest was
taken In the discussion of the mat.
ter and 1t seemed TO be the unani.
nous sentiment of the crowd that
the road must be secured at all haz.
ards.
Jas. s. Davis, chairman of the
executive committee, called e
meeting to order and asked T. j.
Cole to state the object of the meet
ing. Mr.. Cole in a short address
referred to the work already accom-
plished by the soliciting committee
and to the different surveys made
through the city by the railroad
people. He said that some opposi-
ton had been developed against the
Monroe street survey, but with the
hope of all the people cooperating
in securing this road another line
had been established Mr.. Cole
said it was necessary TO discuss the
importance of this road TO the city.
1t is one of the biggest systems in
the state aud it will he of great i'm
portance to the commercial interest
of the town.
AS Mr.. Cole finished speaking
Hon. ). p. Skinner entered the
court room and was called on for a
speech. Mr.. skinner began his
speech by saying that this was no
time for talking but the time TO act.
Referring to the objections of some
citizens 10 certain rights Of way
through the city Mr.. skinner said it
was not "a matter Of sentiment, bat
Of dollars and cents. He made a
strong appeal 10 the citizens "a
unite in an effort to secure the road
saying that we could not afford 10
let it pass within few miles Of the
city. His address was delivered
straight from the shoulder and was
AN unanswerabte argument in favor

WEDNESDAY. JUNE 4, 1907.

WILLARD SAULLBURY appears to
have the Democratic party pretty
well within his grip and he does
not intend that anybody else shall
usurp his position. He has his eye
on the Senatodship and with that
object in view he intends to make
the campaign the warmest one that
lfas taken place in Delaware for
years. The voters ara the pawns
which the leaders, or better en-
pressed the beneficiaIies, expect to
deceive if events warrant them.
The Senatorial plumb is very
tempting one and worth trying for
or they would not to-day he two
vacancies existing in the United
States Senate. The Democratic
party in our State is not united, but
we do not think that it is in any
worse shape than the Republican
party at this writing The leaders
have got to make up their minds to
one thing and that is that they must
consent to hold but one primaries
and place but one Republican ticket
in the field for the Republicans to
vote for. No two Republican tickets
tan win in New Castle county.
That is an iinpussibiIity and those
who think different would find that
weknow what we are writing about.
You need not hug yourself with de-
lusions and talk big of what you
can do, but when the ballots are
counted on election day You will
not be the only person surprised.
With the Australian ballot you
don't know how any man votes.
That is you can only snrlnise from
the time the voter remained in the
both whether lie voted a straight
ticker or a split ticket, hut whether
Democratic or Republican ticket,
1t would only he Il guess.

THE gentlemen conducting the
Wilmington Horse Show have ont
did themselves this year ana gave
the public the best display Of horse
flesh ever before witnessed in Will
nlington The attendance yester-
day was only fair, nothing like
what it should have been and what
the display of horse flesh deserved.
There are two more days, to-day
and Thursday, and the affair will
be thing of the past. The public
should show their interest in the
affair by larger attendance, and
thus make it pay its way and not
compel the gentlement under whose
auspices it is being held, to go down
i'll their pockets. 1t is worthy the
patronage of all lovers of horse
flesh. The show is a success rs far
as horse flesh goes.

for life. The boy, for that is what
he is, is not 10 years of age. He
engaged in quarrel with the far

time, which resulted in the man S
death. The EVIDENCE brought out
at the trial was that the colored
man was assaulted and in defending
his life inflicted such wounds as re-
suited in the death Of his antagon-
list. Several persons in our city in
terestsd themselves in Harmon's be-
