by tie president and chairman of the

This convention, by the sixth article
of the constitution, Is to be composed OF
| four delegates from each State league,
together with the president thereof
There is no provision in the constitution
as to the mode In which these four
delegates shall be elected Zach club
In the State of Delaware is hereby re-
quested to send Eve de legates to the con-
yention of the league, to be held at
Dover, Del, Wednesday, December 8,
1883, Tor the purpose of selecting four
delegates to represent the State League
of Delaware to the Convention of the
Republican League Of the United States,
to be held on Decent Der 10, 1888, as
above indicated.
1t Is of the highest Importance to tie
interest of the Republican party that our
organizations In this State shall be pre-
served It is believed that the success
o the party 10 Kent and Sussex Coun-
ties, at the recent elections, is In great
degree attributable to the organized
efforts OF our clubs, and ii they had been
put in operation two years ago, the part
would shave achieved the same or
probably more complete success In New
Castle County es 10 Kent and Sussex
1t should be the duty of every club
n nd oF II, g., ,ak
about Immediately the arduous task of
counteractiug the tyrAnical provisions Of
the odious and Infamous assessment and
collection laws, which, as administered
by the party in power, b We placed and
for fifteen years have kept in power the
Demo ratio party, which, in truth and
In fact, has in all these years been the
minority par y In this State,
AS the Republican party will have at
the next session of the General Aasem
bly, majority in only one branch OF
that body, 1t will be impossible to repeal
those laws without the aid Of at least
three Democratic members of the Senate,
and our only relief, therefore, will be
found In the vigilance and untiring labor
Of our local organizations in procuring
the name Of every Republican in every
hundred Of the state TO be placed on the
assessment list, and taking care to look
after the payment of taxes of that class
who heretofore have been made the vic
Tins OF these iniquitous laws.
There has not been an election held in
this state since the passage of these un-
just enactments that would not have re-.
suited in Republican triumph but for
their dishonest administration For
proof of this assertion we need not search
farther back than the late election, es-
pecially In New Castle county, in which
county there are now 5000 Republican
voters who havs been uDjustly deprived
OF their right Of ofsuffrage, by being drop.
ped from the assessment lis after their
names had been handed in, or by being
returned delinquent while being both
ready and willing to pay their taxes had
they been called on 80 to do. 1t is. to be
hoped, therefore, that the members Of our
organization will take this matter to
heart and each and all of US do our whole
duty in this respect, go that In the cleo.
ton two years hence we may achieve n
victory in each and every county in the
state.
