didate riders to the proceedings OF q
STATE Convention may not he equally ss
Objectionable. No doubt the delegates
to be selected tomorrow will be in fs-
vor of Blaine, and will vote for him as
long as there is any chance of his
nomination, but it might be we'll enough
for the delegates to be allowed a little
lati ;ude, as the occasion might require
taem to vote for some body else in or
der to. defeat some other objec ionable
candidate. 1t would be altogether
right and proper to morrow, If the Con-
vention see fit, TO pass resolutions ex'

priety Of it instructing the delegates to
Chicago to vote for any particular can
didate, though it may be well under
stood and expected of them that they
will vote for Blaine.
Above every thing else harmony is
desired in the party and it is hoped
that nothing will be done to weaken
and distract the party in Delaware. In
all the calculations that have been
made Delaware has been counted
With the solid South that is to make up
the Democratic vote, and Republican
victory is expected without the aid
of Delaware. Under these circum
stances it is folly for the Republicans
Of this State to become divided and
distracted in the chciee Of a candidate.
II Republican President is elected,
and we have no dou BIT Of it, Delaware
like other States crushed by the iron
heel of Democratic tyranny will receive
the benefit of it, and if in the effort to
gain a victory on State issues the Re-
putlicans should be successful, and
Wheel Delaware into the Republican
then the measure of her joy
will be full, and the result will be a
pleasant surprise to the party. 1t will
hen be a victory without having dicta-
ed the plan upon which it was won.
Republicans of Delaware, victory in
his State is what is wanted and what
5 expected by our brethern outside To
Jain this victory wise counsels must
,revail. Individuality must be lost
light Of, and only success on principle
20 kept in the foreground. To secure
his success harmony is requisite, and
% secure harmony mutual concessions
must be made. The Republican party
II Delaware must be made the party of
he masses, and not the party to boost
his man or that man into Office. I'll 4
