His death will result in an ire

Order at large. His duties will now

til the Fall of 1909, at which time
a successor to him will be elected

The six delegates were Instructed to vote and work for Gray. but the concluding portions Of the plank In the platform endorsing the candidate, which had been prof fered by the Gray managers and which excluded consideration of any other candidate has been stricken out.

 County Caucuses.
 The entire forenoon was taken up with the csucuses of the three coun- ty delegations over the choice of the National delegates. The rule ~ Della ware is for each county to select two of the six delegates whose selection is later ratified by the State Convention. Of the three county caucuses the most interesting was that of Kent County! because the delegates in this county were divided between the adherents of Bryan and Judge Gray, the former having a majority. Matters ran smoothly until the nominations for na- tional delegates came up. When the name of former United States Senator Kenny, the National Committeeman from Delaware. was placed in nomina- tion, MT. Kenny immediately declined. because he said he would be in Denver any way as a member of the National Committee.
 He then launched into a speech upon the respective merits of Bryan and Gray. He said there was little doubt that Bryan would be nominated by the national convention but he believed 1t was the duty of Delaware Democrats to name Judge Gray as an available candidete for-the nomination. If any thing should happen to Mir. Bryan, he said, the Democracy would then have another good man who could sweep the country in November. A delegate reminded MT. Kenny that

All Of these measures as affecting every branch and detail of both services are sorely needed. and it would be the part of farsighteo wisdom to enact them all into laws.

To carry out this policy is but to act in the spirit of George Washington; is but to con tinue the policies which he outlined when he said: observe good faith and justice toward all nations, cultivate neace md harmony with all. !"

 Oppression During Peace.
 "All of this oppression is alleged to exist in time of profound peace and frequently, although by no means ai- ways. 1t is alleged to occur at the hands of people who are not very formidable in a military sense. In some cases the accusations of oppression and wrong doing are doubtless ill-founded. In others they are well founded ana; in certain cases the most appalling loss of life is shown to have occurred ac- companied with frightful cruelty.
 sIt is not our province to decide which side has been right and which has been wrong in all or in any of 'tkese controversies. am merely re- ferring to the loss of life. It Is pos- sibly d conservative statement to say that within the last twelve years, at periods of profound peace and not as the result of war, massacres and butch cries have occurred in which more lives of men, women and children have been lost than in any Single great war since the close of the Napoleon strug- gles.
 gro any public man who knows of the complaints continually made to the State Department there is an ele- ment of grim tragedy in the claim that the time has gone by when weak na- tions or people can be oppressed by those who are stronger without arous- ing effective protests from other strong interests.

Big Gold Strike on O, K.

Judge N. M. Richardson and son Laurance have been at work the past month on the O. K. mine, in Union Pass section and have the satisfaction of striking one of the best bodies of ore ever encountered in that region. They had run drift into the vein about 2O) feet, but did not find any, thing of importance. Recently they came back in the drift and crosscut the vein, being rewarded by six foot body of ore running thirty dollars gold to the ton. Streaks in this body will run far into the hundreds of dollars in gold. The owners are elated over their find and are preparing to do a large amount of work on the property. The vein is one of the largest in the district and is well situated for eco- homie working.

The big stamp mill at the Victor mine is pounding away on good mill ore and high percentage of recovery is being made on the plates. So far the tube mill has not been placed in commission and not until this mill is brought into use will the cyanide tanks be utilized. The mill is oper- ated throughout by electricity and is one of the smoothest running and most economical plants on the coast.
 At the mine, in raise from the lower level, body of ore fifteen foot thick has been cut, the average of which is said to be better than twelve dollars in gold. The mine is furnish. Ing all the ore the mill can handle. and of grade that will insure con- plete success.
