HARMONY ATLAST
In DELAWARE
Warning Republicans Agree on a
Candidate For Governor.
AN ANVLADDICKS Elan CHOSEN

Wilmington. Del. Oct. 11-After in
numer2Dle conferences, cont nuing
over period of several weeks. the
state committees of the Regular Re
publicSns and the Union or Addicks
Republicans came to an agreement on
one state and congressional ticket for
the Republican party in Delaware.
Preston Lea, OF this city, who is iden-
titled with the anti-Addicks or Regular
Republican faction. was agreed upon
as the compromise candidate for gov
ernor on the condition that he appoint
as secretary of state, if elected. any
one of three men whose names the
Union Republicans VIII present to him.
The two committees will meet tomor-
row morning to select the candidates
for the remainder Of the ticket. 1t has
also been agreed that the Union Re
publicans shall name the candidates
for lieutenant governor, insurance
commissioner and congress, and the
Regulars shall name the candidates for
attorney general, state treasurer and
state auditor. It was further agreed
that the state committees shall meet
and arrange for joint campaign COM
mittee.
The principal hitch In the harmony
plan was over the selection of a candi-
date for governor. Each side several
times presented list of names. but up
to now neither faction would yield on
any proposition offered
All the candidates on the Union
ticket have resigned, in fact their res
ignations have been in the hands of the
state committee for some time. DR..
Joseph II. Chandler, the Regular Re-
publican nominee for governor, was
quoted as saying that he did not pro-
pose to resign. 1t is believed, however.
that he will withdraw, because the
Regular Republican state convention
adopted resolution giving the state
committee authority to make any
changes in the ticket it deemed neces-
sary in the interest of harmony.
The conventions of both factions
nominated the same presidential cleo
tors, therefore there will be no change
In this part of the ticket

TWO REMARKABLE CASES.

That the colored people are having a
hard time of it with the lower ele-
ments of the white people admits of no
question and that they are being strong
ly defended by the upper classes of
white people is equally apparent. No
better illustration of this is to be found
anywhere than in the cases recently re-
ported from Virginia and North Caro-
lima
The first case was reported from
fredericksburg, Va, and the CORES
pondent denominated it to be "the most
daring criminal assault ever perpetrat-
ed IN this section of the State"
This was under date of October 18th
1904, and it was alleged that the crime
was committed in Spotsylvania county

which carried signals that n second
section was following. A local passen-

took the local for the second section of
the Wichita train and pulled out of the
side track. Three miles west the
freight met the second section.
The impact telescoped the terder of
the passenger locomotive and the front
car, which was full of passengers. and
1t was here that the sacrifice of life
took place. The passenger conductor

A dog fancier who lately moved into
a semi-residenee. semi-business dis
trlct Of the upper west side advertised
his advent by means OF remarkably
well-aained press agent from his own
establishment. says the New York
Times. The drummer was a large
black and white dog that promenaded
the boulevard and adjoining streets in
lordly fashion. Notwithstanding thai
the placards attached 10 his sides an
nounced in conspicuous fashion that
he was a Lost Dog

veled alone. although the six-foot
length OF rope that dangled from his
neck indicated that there might have
been at one time man attached to
the other end Of the string. The dog
was a hne-loohng. and passers-by,
seeing him thus accoutred. stopped to
look at him. Many of them spoke.
Nice doggie. said the women.
"Bully fine dog. that" said the men.
and Gee. amt he a buster?" said the
boys
Occasionally some one. growing
overbold. assumed familiar air and
patted the dogs head Those simple
evidences OF affection tapped a vein OF
sentiment in the canine breast and
he squatted back on his launches and
howled dismally. Then people won
dered who had lost nim and how the
owner could be found. At length quite
a crowd collected around the sorrow-
ing animal and suggestions for restor-
alton to his happy home we're ex-
changed volubly.
Presently the dog took the solution OF
the problem into his own paws. With
final prodigious howl he jumped up
and went racing down the boulevard.
He travelled at a rapid gait but every
man and boy In the crowd, and as
many women as could keep the pace.
pelted along after him. After turning
several corners the dog brought up be-
fore the door Of the newly arrived fan
cier. The man stood in the doorway

runner. III that isn't the slickest game
I've seen worked in a long while.
