Last Night.


has been elected By Q majority Of sbou
1900 in the State there is no rsioloInf
amongst the Democrats on that Aoooapt,
They have lost what to them is more
valuable than the State ticket. The los
Of the Legislature and . United States
Senator are irrepalrable losses, for VIII Oh
there Is no corresponding gain.
The victory OF the Republicans OF
Kent and Sussex Counties almost act
she Republicans of IhiB oity wild with
loyI and last night they gave express
sion 70 their feelings In an imprOmptu
parade that more more flttinRly ex
pressed their feelings than II they had
boon uniformed with gay olOthIDR,
slsz5d oapeB and Gaps, and the broom
hey carried were more suRs esGive than
II they had been armed with flaming
sorohss. Democratic laws prevented
the illumlRa'icn Of the line Of reioioers
Eith kerosene, bnt they did not prevent
the otnzsDs from making the strsete
lurld With red and green are.
Now, % It is Q settled faot that the
LsatAlatuEe Of Delaware is actually Rs
publican on Joint ballot by q maiorlty
1f two, Republicans arc all at once and
unexpectedly called upon 10 take 3 sur

Toe Senate will sand 7 Democrats to
2 Republicans and the House IA Repub.

that whatever reform legislation the
House may pass IL will have to still
run the gauntlet OF q Democratic
Senate. 30 that whatever the Rspubli.

the House will still meet the general
Democratic opposition spirit Of reform
always manifested b. that body.
IL 49, however, hoped that The Demo.
orAts, besinR the rowing determination
OF tue people In favor OF constitutional
and other reforms, will become more
advanced In sentiment and still remain
CONSERVATIVE. They will either have to
do this or defeat reform leRislstlon two
cars more and then retire from the
public political f1sld under the merltsd
Indignation Of too long outraged peo-
pie with ballots in their hands,

Jaws are not repealed, let q Dsnocratio

before the people on that Issue. 1t is
the general opinion that the Senate will
not take that spOnBibility.
