Morven Thompson began their match with
the same wind blowing seemingly harder
than at the opening of the first match.
There were number OF golfers going over

warm, still the course was in excellent con-
dition and the Eolfing was good Shortly

GOOD RECORD BY
THE AMERICANS
1t Was the Feature of the Week
at the Olympic
Games.

ATHENS, April 2S.-The feature of the
week at the Olympic games undoubtedly
was the brilliant record made by the Amer
lean athletes. Martin J. Sheridan of the
Irish-American A c., especially distin-
gushed himself He won sixteen points
in the games. five for the shot put, five
for throwing the discuss, three for the
standing broad jump and three for putting
the stone. and he will score probably in
the ancient Greek discus and the standing
high jump well as in the hurdles, if
his leg holds out. The condition of his leg
is not good, however. and for that reason
he retired from the Penthalum series of
contests today
The Americans should win the hurdles
with Robert G. Leavitt Williams College,
and Hugo Friend. University of Chicago
Harry l. Hillman, New York Athletic Club;
Fay r. Moulton, Kansas City Athletic
Club, and p. II. Pilgrim, New York Ath-
let-c Club should do well in the 400 meters
sprint. Hillmans leg, which was injured
aboard ship, still troubles him, through he
is running well.
James D. Lightbody, Chicago University,
was stronger than ever Friday, and won
his heat at a mile and was second in the
quarter mile to Barker. the Australian
whose heat in fifty-three seconds was the
fastest for the distance.

HOW pEMocRArs can wIN.

4 N political representation made by the editor
\ of Every Evening this week he says there
is chance for a Democratic victory in Delaware
this year, provided the Republican party will
again be rent by factiona troubles, and in add-
ton be without campaign money. Thus, accord
ing to high Democratic authority, the only basis
upon which the Democrats can rest their hope
this fall is on senseless fight and wrangle IN the
Republican camp This is indeed quite con-
fession from Democratic newspaper II appears
to us it would have been more proper TO have
assigned other reasons for expecting a Demo
cratic victory. For a party to be without any
inherent claim upon the people for support, and
compelled to rely solely upon a chance weakness
Of the opposing party in order to win, it is in
most unfortunate position II seems that Every
Evening might have made at least another one
OF its specious arguments, such as it did few
days ago, when it urged that the American work
ing men should turn against the Republican party
because of its record on protection, unsound as
such an argument might be- and assign the ac-
ceptance Of such preaching as a reason for
pecting the overthrow of the Republican party
this year. 1t appears, however, that it could not
find even that kind of an argument to make the
basis Of its prediction Of Democratic victory
this year 1t fell back upon the one and sole hope,
which is Republican discord and a division OF
its vote, conceding inferentially that il the Re
publicans would only act in harmony and support
one ticket the Democrats would not have the
ghost OF chance at the polls this year, and which
everyho ly besides Every Evening, knows per-
fectly we'lto be true.
The Every Evening editorial should serve as
an object lesson to the Republicans of Delaware
They should not allow factiona hatred, personal
animosity, or disappointments, to so open the
party this year that the Democrats can march
home to a victory which in every way belongs to
us.

GOOD BEGINNING-KEEP 1T UP.

TN a well planned move the authorities last
u night pounced down on one OF the city's
dens OF vice and iniquity and found conditions
substantiating the disclosures made in the news
columns of The Journal So far as we have been
able 20 learn no complaints were made against
the place raided last night and it is situated,
being a considerable distance from any other
dwelling, that any ordinary noise or disorder in
it would not disturb any one 1t is place prac-
tically without neighbors either in front on the
sides or in the rear. The natural query therefore
is, why are drastic steps taken to stamp out such
place as that, and the Edith Grant resort allowed
TO run without check or restraint? The Grant
den is in a built up square, and the notorious pro-
prietress is not only known to be one of the worst
women of her kind ever in Wilmington, but she
has admitted that she conducts a house OF i'll
fame The heads of fifteen respectable families in
that square have lodged a complaint with the
authorities against the disreputable house, and
begged that they and their neighborhood be pro-
tected from IT, In the most brazen and shameless
way the place is being run. a respectable, law
abiding family next door is deprived of the en-
joyment of their property. A wife and mother
is compelled to endure sights, sounds and talk

is not law and authority to suppress the Grant
den, when an apparently less Objectionable place
can be raided and broken up What power is it
that Edith Grant exerts that she is able to defy
the law, and is allowed to traffic in the souls of
men and women unmolested? Why is it that the

NEW YORK POLITICS.

THE political situation in New York promises
l. to be unusually interesting. Late advices
from that great state indicate that William Ran
dolph Hearst has, by most effective system OF
organization entrenched himself in every city
town, hamlet and country district of that State
and this he has done for the purpose of controlling
the Democratic State Convention, and if success
full in that, he will be nominated for Governor
There is no denying the fact that Hearst has a
great following in the Empire state. Cheating
and robbing him of the mayoralty of New York
at the last election greatly increased his strength
and popularity among the plain people, Of whom
there are so many more than of the type of men
responsible for George B. Mcclellan sitting in
the seat to which he and nine-tenths of the people
OF New York City believe he was not elected. In
every possible way Hearst who admits the vote
for him for mayor was far larger than he antci-
pated, has tried in the courts and legislature to
for the people of his city the right to which
their majority vote entitled them But his SEEM
ingy inexhaustible efforts have been unsuccess-
full, and he now proposes to make the robbery
Of the office to which he was elected an issue at
the next election, and unless the alarm Of those
Democrats of the city and state of New York,
VINO nave OeSn lot years nSnunS MN, counts lot
nothing, it is not improbably that he may be the
next Governor of that great state
In the Republican camp, all is not peaceful and
harmonious. Lemuel Ely Quigg we-known in
Delaware, has arisen.to great political prominence
in New York by reason Of his having been 60
between for Platt and the corrupt money inter-
ests headed by John F. Ryan 1t is said that Quigg
has had charge of the distribution of great sums
of money both at the elections and at Albany,
for the purpose Of keeping the Ryan-B Belmont
crowd in control of New York. Quigg is now
making open effort to control the Republican
organization of New York, and the feeling against
him is so intense that so loyal Republican paper
as the New York Press does not hesitate to say,
if Quigg wins the party will lose at the election
The Press being very influential Republican
paper can do much to make good its prediction il
it would, as it says it will, openly and vigorously
oppose the party should it place itself under the
leadership of Quigg,
Thus it is that when Deawareans have the
opportunity to turn from their own political trou
bies at home, they can find much in the New
York situation TO interest them.
