LETTER FROM DIR. Il. WORRELI..

| LETTER FROM DIR. l.. WORRELL.
Mr. EDITOR: thank you most sincere
ly for the courtesy already shown me in al
lowing the use of your columns to express
| my sentiments, as an individual, upon the
| subject that thought would be benefit
to the party as party, and with no desire
to"rule the county"or even hundred or an
individual. i am too far over the sea OF life
10 cherish an ambition "to rule, "but am per-
fectly willing to place the ruling in young
er and more able hands. / simply want TO
see reaction of the party SO ruled that the
ruling shall advance its success and redown
to its honor. l ask, sir, a further indul-
Sence TO present my impressions in regard
TO another subject. l learn by the public
press that a free train has been engaged, but
by private information learn it has not
positively been chartered, and if such is the
| case, or If 1t has been chartered, hope upon
further consideration, it may be abandoned.
have heard several gentlemen of thought
and judgment express themselves in oppo-
si!ion to it, and rcs'lv thinI thstsa h.6.>r
use could be made of live hundred dollars,
which hear is to be the cost of the train.
Would 1t not be better to make arrange
ments with the Railroad to issue excursion
tickets at a lower rate of fare TO the Dele
gates, and those who wish to 20 to Dover,
and have the train start at an early hour,so
as to give the delegates ffom this county
tine IN Dover 10 consult before the meet
ing of the Convention. There is no dele
gate but what would be willing TO meet
such all arrangement with his own means,
"nd the five hundred dollars could be ap-
propriated to the pay'ug of the taxes of
me iabofinS man, who, at this time OF pres
sure IN financial matters is little able to
meet the crushing tax ition that has been
forced upon the community. What will
We gain by inducing n large number OF
outside persons from Wilmington, but few
from the rural districts, will avail them
selves OF it to go TO Dover, to make a show
and take there band of music to make
noise and confusion. Let the music OF that
Convention be made by its adoption OF
platform that will sing its pure tones
through the press 10 every county through
the State Pnd eveiy State in the Union.
By this Tree train arrangement, it will add
double the eXpAns of the delegates without
commemorate remuneration to those OF The
rural districts. learn that 1t is proposed
that each Delegate pay Sd % TO aid III the
payment vi the $500, which this tram and
music v II cost, when the regular fare would
not be over half OF five dcllars, except from
Wilmington. Independent of this five dol
lars the contingent expenses must be met,
which will be ut least 81 80 or 81 90 more.
The times aie loo hard to add unnecessary
expense to those acting Tor the good OF the
wholc--not individual interests are
acting not 10 advance his desire "!o rule"
but to elevate his party. 4 think, with many
Others, that a free train VIII gain nothing
for tie purity, but it will loose much to in
dividuais. Some oI US hope it will be changed
as there is ample time to do so. "Delegates"
complain oil the expenses of the Convrn-
ton as u cause OF opposition to two, but the
free hdm VIII make it equal to two.
