We'trust that every Democrat in the
State. who does not submit to the Bar.
gain and Sale at Baltimore, will send
on his vote alone, il not convenient to
join with others. The plan proposed is
Democratic, free of all manipulations
of those who too frequently rule nomi-
mating Conventions. Let every Staight-
out send on bis vote for just the person
of his choice, and the one having the
largest number will be announced.

A CoRREsPoNpENT from Kent Coun-
ty says that it looks as if majority of
the party will vote Greeley-some to
spite certain Republicans some to beat
Grant some because the party nomi-
mated them, but d---n few because he
is their choice. 1t is to be hoped that
defeat will induce such persons to act
on principle hereafter.
One of the most prominent and in
fluential citizens of Kent County, a
Democrat, though not a politician, in a
letter of October Sd says:
"Allow me, in all seriousness, to ask
you what hope is there for resurrec-
ton of the Democratic party now,
which is not only defunct, but felo de
SO, and now lies ingloriously and igno-
miniously dead and buried at every
crossroads in the country, as it were,
by its own insane and suicidal hand.
Can anything less than divine miracle
possibly restore it to its life again p
Alas it is gone forever, fear, and we
shall see it no more p

O'coN0R AND ADAMS ELECTo'
RAJ TICKET FOR DELAWARE.

We the undersigned, appointed by
the National Convention which met at
louisville, KY, members of the Ma
tIpnal Committee for Delaware, feeling
the necessity of economizlng in our
movements, not having received any of
those funds, said to be so literally con-
tributed by the Republican party ;
recommend the following plan for
choosing Electors, thereby saving the
expense and time necessary for holding
a State Convention Each County to
vote for, some one as an Elector for
that County, either by County Meeting,
or.in clubs, OF each person may write
the. name Of the person he wishes to
vote for as Elector. and endorse his
own name on the back of the ticket,
with the name of his Post Office. No
particular form of ticket Is required, o
person may in a business letter name
the person he wishes for an Elector.
Address the ticket TO National Demo-
. cratic Committee, Wilmington, Del,
on or before Saturday, October 2sth,
and the result will be announced on
the following Monday. Every one
sending his ticket, is requested to be
Particular to give his address, which
will not be made public, but will enable
the Committee to know that the tickets
are genuine. a. y it2i.t@s it's~
1t is hoped, that the voters Of each
County, will, as far as possible, ooncen-
5trate their votes on some one person,
who is not afraid to have it known, that
he is, a Democrat, under all circum-
stances-so that there may be no
declining after the nominations have
