There is no reason why we should not have all
these and their consequences, viz Victory and

cary for the masses of the party to take the
work out Of the hands of demah ogues, and put
down the combinations that are now plotting to

prostitute it to faclional ends and purposes
All cIiques aud rings must and will bow 10 the
majestic will OF the masses OF the party and
that this will shall be expressed in an unmis-
taxable manner it ls only necessary that the peo-
pie go en- nlusse to the primaries aud express

party of Delaware do their duty in this respect
aud save their organization from the tate that
