so CALLED apIssENsIoNs.n

g TORIES have been coming from Pittsburg
- telling Of supposed clash between Presi-
dent McCrea of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and the directors OF that corporation over
differences regarding the management of the
company.
The latest tale is that the directors "are angry
with President McCrea because the head of the
company does not put all the idle men TO work
to give an impression that prosperity has abso-
lutcy returned so that the "story" could be
played up for political effect
According to authors of the stories President
McCrea has replied that he does not believe in
mixing politics with business, that conditions do
not warrant general resumption, that there will
be change until business demands it no mat
ter how politics may be affected thereby. AS a
result of this, according to the correspondents,
there is much dissenson' between the execu-
tive board and Mr. McCrea, and the latter has
been given about two months in which to re-
sign. This last statement is the most incredible
part of the story The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company is one of the best managed of the big
corporations of this country. 1t is not in the
habit of electing men as president who is so for
eign to its policies that he gets into a clash with
the directorate and is given two months notice to
quit Discussions are foreign to it.
The directors and the president Of the COM
parry are among the ablest business men in the
world with the care of a vast property en-
trusted to them and they may be depended upon
to act for the best interests of their trust and
their stockholders without regard to political con-
ditions
The Pennsylvania Company always adapts it.
self to circumstances and the directors and pres
ident OF the company are probably more inter
ested in keeping their property up to the high
standard that it has gained than they are in ma
tonal political affairs.

WE suppose that as a matter OF course the
w parties in Delaware during the campaign
will have few public meetings at which the
issues will be discussed. OF late years meetings
have fallen into more or less disrepute. Elec-
tions in Delaware have been so one sided tha+
the dominant party has probably considered II
a waste of time TO call upon the clans to gamer
In public session to hear the issues discussed.
During the last campaign at one OF the kepuD-
lican gatherings it took all the efforts OF NOISY
street walking brass band to get fair size audi
ence at the Opera House. And the Democrats
were worse off than were the Republicans lot
the explosion of a ton of dynamite would not
have gathered a big crowd TO near lhe Delho-
cratic side Of the case.
But the Democrats are showing this year an
effort TO revive the old time speaking campaign.
That part of the Democratic side represented
by the Democratic League, which seems to be
the only Democratic organization that IS not
afflicted with palsy, intends to have a rally at
Brandywine Springs where there Will be an OK
roast instead of a crow banquet And the prob
abilities are that our Democratic friends VIII
have a good outpouring of citizens.
We trust the Republicans will also have some
open air gatherings and rallies for which the best
of speakers could be secured aseState Chairman
DUPONT is at the head of the orators bureau
The meetings would furnish an opportunity for
the young, and the old lawyer for that matter
to shine in radiancy on the platform.
There seems to be some demand for speeches.
Down in Georgetown in dispair OF having live
takers, the Democratic Club has started to con
sumo preserved speeches and the members seem
to be delighted with the change
1t may be that some of those who have been
active in speaking campaigns in the past think
that there is no need of oratory that no one is
converted But there is evidence, that does not
sustain this belief One of the well-known
Democratic LAWYERS in this city told us recently
that in all his experience as a stump speaker, he
knew positively of but one convert he had made.
That happened in Sussex county. After he had
poured forth political and legal wisdom for an
hour or so, and had left the goods box be-
whiskered person who had been listening IN
tently, approached him and said, "Mr. Blank, |
certainly did enjoy your speech. You converted
me and from now on / am prepared to handle
Democratic money.
This shows that while there is life there is
hope, for if the lawyer had talked another hour
his convert might have been much enthused
and impressed that thoughts OF handling money
in politics would have fled from him.

RAISING THE FUNDS.

a CCORDlNG to reports from Chicago the
Democratic plan of securing funds for the
campaign in addition to the general soliciting Of
subscriptions, is TO call upon the State Chairmen
OF the party to collect the money necessary for
campaign purposes In that event the Hon.
Thomas f. Bayard must soon begin to pass the
hat
How fortunate is Mr. Handy in this matter
II has been the talk ND Market street that since
Mr. Handy's appointment a member of the Ma
tional Advisory Committee he would be expected
10 raise at least $4,000 and contribute it to the
national fund as a token of appreciation. Mr..
Handy however has been unable to get a hat
large enough to hold the money and for that rea-
son we are informed he has delayed his appeal
for funds
Now, according to Chicago reports, Mr.. Handy
is to be relieved and Mr.. Bayard is to place a
pint measure in his Office where the Democrats
can chip in the bills the dimes, the nicSels and
the dollars. Rather hard on Mr.. Bayard If this
plan should be carried out Mr. Handy would be
eating fine Virginia hams and talking
about Mr.. Millard F. Davis with every mouth
ful an lodging brick bats tossed at Mr.. Handy
BY Democratic glasses while Mr. Bayard would
have nothing but wee amount OF dough to
feed upon.
But seriously, the problem OF raising money
is bothering both political parties. The Repub-
licans have been having much fun with the
Democrats over their efforts TO secure money
but another message from Chicago says that tn,
money is not flowing, like Nile tide, in the di
yection Of Mr.. Hitchcock. The further repor

There is a suggestion at Dover of Former Sen
ator Richard r. Kenney as the probable chair
man of the Democratic State Central Committee.
Most OF the other Democratic leaders have been
honored in one way or another but Mr.. kenney
has kept in the background 1t is unlikely that
one who loves politics as Mr.. Kenney does will
abandon the game during the present campaign.
The old combination of Salisbury and Kenney
may again be in the Democratic saddle this year.

In discussing the situation, in the Democratic
party as regards the nomination of ticket, the
Dover Delawarean seems TO think that the Dem
ocratc candidates should be taken this year with
out regard to the claims of the counties. 1t is
noticed that in the Delawarean's consideration of
the matter no mention is made of the wet and
"dry" issue figuring in the calculations of the
Democrats. The Delawarean was the chief sup
