The names OF the six members Of the
House who have seen 1T to Iepudiats the
platform upon which they were elected
are
John =. Salisbury Of Kent county.

ever, was elected, knowing that the platform
which contained the principles OF the
Democratic party of Delaware declared that
New Castle county ought and would receive
increased representation in the General
Assembly OF the State. 1t was there
fore, fully understood by the nominees,
when they accepted places upon the
tickets Of the several counties, that New
Castle was expected 10 receive justice at their
hands and that the State convention had
pledged the party to grant increased repre-
sentation to the county Of New Castle.
The subject Of increas ed represents

one that will not down. Mr.. Salisbury
