does not move forward, 10 the party that
makes no advance. Though possessing
majority of Republicans, like many
other States of the South, she is chained
to the Democratic party through politica
chicanery and manlpula'ioM, intensely
Democratic in principle and in prac,
tice.
Delaware will give her three electoral
votes to the nominee Of the Democratic
party for President no matter who he
may be, simply because one fourth OF
the Republic ms Of the State have been
distranchised through the Ubiquitous as

the inequality OF representation in Della
