a REPRESENTATIVE IN CoNGREss who
misrepresents his constituents is new
thing to Delaware, and the white voters
nave not been educated to understand it.
We know that it has been the practice of
the Republican party for number of
years to make very plausible platforms,
and get the very best men in the COM
munity committed to them but when the
Lawmakers of that party met in Con-
gress the platforms were given to the
dogs. The result is that the first and best
honest gentlemen in the Republican par
ty have been disgusted with the leaders,
and now they know not who TO follow
Some are for Hayes and some for Conk-
hing but the masses of them as to party
feel like strangersin strange land some
what as the children of Israel when they
hung their harps upon the willows; In
fact we pity them-they are our neigh
bors and friends, and we love them, if
they are Republicans, and we cannot re-
joice at their perplexity, because we know
they were as honest in their views as we
are in ours. Their misfortune arises
from putting too much trust in those thev
elevated to wealth and distinction-thev
allowed their servants to become their
masters. And the same pit is dug for the
Democracy. If they fall into it they
Will md themselves in a far worse condi-
non than our Republican friends are
The way to avoid these pits and quick
sands Is to hold those who represent you
TO strict account-put none on your plat
1orlns who want to serve their conscien-
ces instead OF their country. We had
enough of that in the New York candi-
dates, from Mcclellan to Greeley. Let
us follow the old beaten path of giving
our measures to the people in party plat
forms, and discussing them on the hus.
tngs. Its the only way that intelligent
voters can learn to chose between the
parties. 1t worked well up to 1860. Uu
10 That time the country grew in wealth
and became great in all the essential.
necessary TO powerful people. Since
then it has made nothing The partie,
that cast aside the old mode of discussinl
platforms, perfecting them and carrying
them out, have squandered half of wha
was made and saved before 1860. Let u,
return to the old methods, and the chill
dren will develop the country into great
ness as was done in times past with fewe
advantages and under far greater diff
cuitles, If We except the ruling rage 70
extravaganza with all classes now, an,
OF which we must get rid as soon as pos
sible.

about to make descent upon Wall street,
with all the confidence and audacity

Cutting Down Expense..

The cutting dewn Of the salaries of
State officials still goes bravely on In the
House of Delegates. There seem to be
very little, II any, respect of perpons in
the matter, aid the sharp knife goes in
deeply TO the "leaf-fat" Of them all. The
salary Of county judges was reduced
Thursday to $3.50; the clerk of the Court
Of Appeals at Richmond was reduced in
pay from II 600 to $500, and the pay of
all the clerks of the district courts was
scaled in proportion. This looks like
Retrenchment and Reform, but we
notice the significant fact that the MEM
bers of the legislature have not reduced
their pay of "six dollars n day and roast
beef" one dime How Is that? Economy
should always first commence at home.
