WY VIII you Vote for the Amend
ment?

In 1852 the last Constitutional Con-
vention of Delaware met and amended
the Constitution 10 tar as 1t had the
mower TO do SO. Representation ut
chat time was not so unequal as II is
now, each county having within few
chou sand of the same population, but
New Castle County had those few
thousands ahead. James A. Bayard
was elected TO that convention and
wanted representation according to
population, and because he could not
get that principle recognized he with
drew from the convention. A consti-
tuition was agreed upon and left to a
vote of the people
In what manner was it left TO the
vote Of the people ? Was it left in
such manner that voter had to sac
rifice his party 10 vote either for or
against ito Nothing of the kind. our
fathers Of that day had more respect for
the people than to offer them such an
insult. They left it in such manner
that the Wings and Democrats alike
could vote "yea" if they were in favor
Of 1t, or "nay" If they were opposed to
1t. This was quite different plan
from our last Legislature. They
undertook to amend the Constitution
themselves. and left IL to vote also,
but those who are in favor of 1t are com
PEELED to vote the Democratic Legisla-
tive tickle: and those opposed to il
will be compelled 30 vote the Republi
can Legislative ticket.
Such sharp political lodges as these
had never entered into the minds Of
our fathers of the last Constitutional
Convention. Do he voters of New
Castle Coun' intend TO be caught by q
<rick. The only way by which they
can repudiate the tricksters and theil
tricks is by voting the Republican Leg
ialAtive ticket.
A fter that Constitutional Convention
adjourned James A. b. yard girded OIL
his armor and went out to fight thii
new Constitution because it did not pro
vide for representation according Il
population, and n gradual increase il
representation as the population in
creased. His son, Thomas +. Bayard

ware, then In his youth, too. went ou
- the armor bearer TO his father, anC
did good service in defeating ,he Con
stitutional Amendment, without de
fsating the party to which he belonged

counted off 1t was no. the Wing ticke

Mr.. William Bareford, of the Second
ward, who is paid eleven hundred dol
lars q year Is bridge-teDder Of Third
street bridge, still seems to think that
his services are needed more at the tar
collectors office than they are ut the
bridge. William knows consider able
about how people intend to vote, in
fact he has made it his business TO in
form himself on that subject. aud
possessing this information, he deems
il to be his duty to be lying around
loose at the tax collectors office to give
needed information when voters come
to pay their taxes.
A sly wink from his twinkliDg eye
con veys the intelligence to the collector
that n certain man who calls to pay
his tax Is Republican. The collector
being thus forewarned is very careful to
search his book several times over to
see If he has his name, whether 1t lie
spelled right. where he lives and wheth-
er he Is the identical man he represents
himself to be.
All this occupies probably from ten
to fifteen minutes, during which time
if there are other Republicans In wait
ing, they retire Disguised ss they bad
only begged few moments leave q
absence from the shop or wherever they
were employed. But with all Will
liam's watchfulness and care, his ward
is slipping away from him. From two
hundred Democratic majority 1t has
dwindled down to he called doubtful
ward.
The Irish revolt in the Second ward
troubles William tremendously. He
hardly knows who to vouch for any
more, or TO whom 10 give tax receipts,
and he is awfully afraid that If his
ward does any worse for the Democrats
than 1t has been doing, he may lose
his eleven hundred dollar job. We
would not be surprised il the Levy
Court will not discover before long that
Mr.. Bareford's salary of eleven hun
bred dollars for attending a bridge,
which he does not personally attend
when he should,is a bad inv estment.
