PLAYING THE OTHER END.

TT NOW appears that certain ones Of those
a nominated at the Union Republican CON
WESTON, held in this city one evening a few
weeks ago, to run on the separate county ticket,
have decided to stay on the ticket until the polls
close Two of the candidates, Julian c. Walker
and Thomas T. Iurn, we credited with having
just enough loyalty to the Republican party to
not allow the use of their names on a ticket that
everybody knows has not the least chance OF
election and can, at most, only draw enough votes
to defeat the Republican ticket. 1t seems we
greatly over-rated the two men ana that they are
not a whit better than the men nominated on the
same ticket two years ago who threatened to
stay on the ticket until the polls close" unless
they were bought off. Well, they were bought off
and one OF them demanded and got $500 in cold
cash Not satisfied with that large amount Of
blood money he to-day is Of the chiefs on
the pirate craft, is urging the candidates to stand
firm, and speaks of one of the stalking horse can
didatcs as the brightest legal lights at the New
Castle county bar" From reports we now hear
it appears that The Syndicate" is trying TO work
the other end Of the game and are negotiating
with the Democrats to pay a certain amount OF
money to the Union Republican candidates or
their friends for the pirate candidates ito stay on
the ticket until the polls close The scheme is
so bald that everybody is on to it, and we do not
believe that any number of voters who have here
tofore in good faith supported the Union Repuh-
can ticket will allow themselves to be used to
carry out a corrupt deal with the Democratic
candidates How much did the Union Republic
can voters get of the several thousand dollars
paid their candidates TO GET OFF the ticket
two years ago? Not cent 1t was divided
among those six or eight fellows composing the
syndicate How much OF the money the Dem
ocrats will pay this year to have the Union Re
publican candidates STAY ON the ticket until
the polls close will the voters receive? Not
cent 1t will be divided among the candidates
and the syndicate. Who is so stupid that they
cannot sec the game2

PREACHER WAS
AN EASY THING
Thief Tells Of Getting Letters
Of Recommends ion TO
Women
STEALS AND PAwNS JEWELS

NEW YORK, oct. s.-Despite the
fact he had in his pocket letters from
a preacher telling how honest but un-
fortunate he was, Joseph Bailey, alias
George Wheaton, Of No. 10 Bowery,
was held for trial on "A charge of rob-
berry in the Harlem Court. The young
man, who was neatly dressed, con-
fessed to Magistrate Wahle that he had
pretended to be a jealous church work
er SO he could get credentials from the
Rev. DR.. Smith, pastor of ST. Paul's
Church, at 141st street and Convent
avenue.
BaileS said he regularly attended DR..
Smiths church, apd thus got into his
good graces. Then he went to see the
clergyman in his home, at No. SO Ham
ilton Place. and told DIR. Smith he was
having a hard time and could not get
work. The clergyman gave him re-
commentator at once, believing that
he was honest and worthy. Bailey said
he then went to see Mrs. Anna Wal
lace, Of No. 6l2 West 147th street, arm
ed with the recommendation from the
preacher, and had no trouble in getting
work there cleaning carpets and other
odd Jobs. A week ago, he admitted in
court he stole a gold watch, three
rings and several stick pins worth $500
from Mrs. Wallace, and left the house.
Mrs, Wallace waited for several days,
and when Bailey did not return she
informed the police.
Detectives Griffith and Meckert were
put on the case, and they went to see
the preacher who had recommended
Bailey to the woman. DR.. Smith ex-
pressd his surprise. and admitted that
he had given Bailey the letters think
Ing ne was a good man in bad luck
He also told them he had given Bailey
another recommendation to another
member of his church. Mrs. Foster. OF
No 4l9 West 14lst street. They went
to see Mrs. Foster, but she told then
Bailey had been to see her and had
gone back to DR.. Smiths house. tn,
detectives hurried to the preachers
home and caught Bailey there. II,
was placed under arrest, and, the de-
tectiYes said, admitted that he had
been in Jail once for a like offense, and
told them he had sold the stolen arti.
cles to Harry Sikowsky. a jeweler, al
No. "a Second avenue. The detective:
went to Sikowsky's place with Bailey
and arrested the jeweler. Magistrat,
Wahle held him for examination.

HEARST REPUDIATEs DEMOCRACY.

VAT LILLIAN r. HEARST is nothing if not
w bold. Addressing the meeting Of his
supporters in Brooklyn, he repudited Boss Muir
ply of Tammany Hall, to whose efforts he owes
his nomination by the Democrats for Governor
Of New York, and proclaimed that he stood on
the platform OF the independence League and
was the candidate Of that organization Hearst
wishes to appear as a candidate too large for the
Democratic party, which in his estimation is sub
ordinated to the Independence League. And in
the platform of the latter there is really little
Democracy, while on the tariff question Hearst
is far from being Democrat 1t is as the can
ddate Of his own the Hearst party that he wants
to appear. lie would, no doubt be pleased 70
have his doctrines described Hearstsm. Be
fore the campaign shall have progressed very Tar
the issues will be made clear and it will be inter-
csting to know just how many followers Hearst
ism has in the Empire State.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons of One Dollareach from Repub-
hcans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help us achieve a great victory

way Of attendance We regret that the merchants
did not take hold Of the fair and make hpe ex-
liibits Of their wares, as they do at Trenton and
other exhibitions OF similar character.
The racing ard amuscments at tho Changers
Fair were highly creditable, the trials Of speed on
the whole being good those witnessed at
Trenton, which has long enjoyed high repute
The fruit and vegetable displays could easily be
worked up so that Delaware could have such an
exhibit second to none. THE JOURNAL is
pleased TO note that the sentiment among the
grangers is so heartily in favor Of an enlarged
exposition, and it is not too early TO begin the
development Of plans for next years fair.

TELL US ALL ABOUT IT.

Nov that our City Councilmen have return
/ cd from their junket to Chicago, we shall
await with interest report of the proceedings of
the convention and the information" that they
secured which is to be used for the benefit Of the
city
For some years we have been hearing of the
vast fund Of Information that the councilmen
pick up while they are on these trips. Just what
they do with these ideas, which are pretty costly
for the city that foots the junket bills we do not
know. We read that all the proceedings of the
convention are published in pamphlet form and
hence, apparently, any one here in Wilmington
by reading the speeches can possess all the
knowledge that the councilmen could get by lis
tening to them.
There must be special brand of useful knowl-
edge that is kept on tap by some one at the con-
vention and which is distributed only to the coun-
cilmcn and others who personally appear at the
meeting. If this is true we hope the councilmen
viii lei their special knowledge loose as soon as
possible and then the voters can understand why
the city's money was spent for the trip.
A great many regard the trip as junket pure
and simple, at the expense Of the peoples pocket
hook.

Editorial Opinion


New York Press.
Nobody who knew how ZAP Adams
built his fortune dropped a tear OF
sympathy when It was known that il
had gone to smash in a Wall Street
bucket shop failure The ruin Of
Adams was not half so pathetic as the
wreck Of a single victim of the policy
swindle on which he reared the struc-
ture Of his now crumbled millions. But
the ruin he wrought was Of a whole
army of the gulible who believed they
were gambling when they were simply
having their pockets picked. Nobody
could weep when such a creature was
sent to Sing Sing. No one can waste
sympathy on him now that he has per-
formed the most becoming act Of his
career
Perhaps the suicide was not all due
TO the collapse OF his fortune. II may
have been brooding over the bitter
fact that he alone among all the
wealthy and influential criminals OF
this town had been singled out and sent
to prison by District Attorney Jerome

FOR ALARGER FAIR.

g 0 gratifying was the success of the Gran

promoters propose to conduct it next year upon a
much larger scale. Doubtless their efforts will

pa. and showed that the people are ready and

only given an opportunity. The fair can easily be
expanded with corresponding good results in the

COLLEGE ATTENDANCE.

THE opening of the year at the institutions OF
4 earning throughout he country shows an
increased attendance of pupils. At some of the
colleges the applicants are so numerous that they
cannot be accommodated. The increased attend
ances shows, among other things, the prosperous
condition of the country, which permits parents to
spend more and more upon the education of their
children.
The professional courses in the colleges and
universities have been enlarged and this accounts
for some Of the increase in the college students
that has been no noticeable during the last decade
More subjects are taught and the young men are
fitted directly for technical profession.
Altogether the outlook for the college year is
bright and our own institution, Delaware, at
Newark, is sharing in this prosperity.

Slavery came to st. John and without

is dying Of consumption, but he was

Endless Chain Letters.

Editor The Evening Journal.
A number OF persons in this city
have been the recipients of the So
called endless chain letters. purporting
TO be sent at the request Of certain
bishops. Each of these letters requests
the recipients to mail nine similar let
ters to friends. and threatens with a
direful punishment for noncompliance
with the request. Every bishop whose
name has been used in these letters
has stated that such use has been
without his knowledge or consent. The
letters have not only been sent locally,
but all over the United States. In the
majority OF instances the recipients
have been women. some OF whom have
been alarmed by the threats contained
In the letters. 1t seems to me that It
is time for the United States Govern
ment to look into the matter and as
certain who are the senders OF the OBJ

ing OF these letters is using the United
states NAH for an illegal purpose
