Little Greek, gave Cleveland 2s3 ma
jority and would elect Democratic dele.
gate.
The Seventeenth district, Duck Creek,
gave Cleveland 100 majority and will
elect Democratic delegate.
There Is no doubt that Kent is Demo
cratic county and would elect their dele
gates at large, leaving the minority Of
two with the Republicans. Five Of the
eight districts are strongly Republican,
leaving only one eure and two doubtful
districts to The Republicans. Under any
circumstances the Democrats would be
reasonably sure OF Of the 13 delegates
from Kent County.
NEW CASTLE COUNTY.
In this county Brsndywine Hundred is
called the Eighteenth district, and would
most assuredly elect a Republican dele
gate, the majority for Harrison being 80,
which will be In reascd to 100 under the

will assuIedly elect Republican delegate
by at least go majority.
The Twentieth district, Mil Creek,
will elect Republican delegate by not
less than 100 majority.
The Twenty-hrst district, New Caetle,

doubt by 250 majority.
Tie TweLty-sec0nd district, White Clay
Creek, will probably elect a Democratic
delegate, as Cleveland had s2 mslerity.
Tho Twenty third district, Peacader
aud Red Lion hundreds, would most
probably elect Republican delegate,
though Cleveland had 20 majority last

will elect a Democratic delegate, Cleye-
lands majority on about half vote and
half assessment being 247.

WILMINGTON CITY.
The city of Wilmington is allotted Ave
delegates, each In q distinctive district.
The TweDty-sixth district, com posed Of
the First, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth
wards, which at the late election gave
Cleveland a majority Of oar, can be de-
pended upon to elect q Democratic dele

The Twenty ninth district, composed
OF the Sixth and Eighth wards, gave
Cleveland q majority of ~, but will most
assuredly elect Republican delegate by
800 majority.
The Thlrtieih strict, composed of the
Seventh and Ninth wards, gave Harrison
a majority of ll3, and under the present
full assessment wi elect Republican
delegate by 300 majority at least.
This Will give each party in the city

Republicans sure delegates in Sussex, !
in Kent, In the rural hundreds of New

sex. 5 in Kent, 4 10 the rural districts o.
New Castle and two in Wilmington; to-
ial, 15
II makes doubtful district In Sussex
in Kent and in Wilmington; total. T.
OF these the Republicans have the better
| chance for carrying the doubtful district
In Sussex and the two In Kent, on account
of fuller assessments, and the Democrats
have tie better chance Of carrying the
doubtful district IN Wilmington. Allow
Ing this to be 30 the districts would then
stand IA Republican and 10 Democratic.
OF the delegates at large, the Republi-
cans have the better chance of New Cas-
tie aud Sussex, and the Democrats Of
| Kent.
This Icing so the Republicans would
then elect 3 delegates In New Castle, . 10

II district delegates would give them 22
members, and the Democrats would elect
2 in New Castle, In Kent and In Sus.

would give them 2S, and q majority OF
one In Il convention of As.
1t would seem indeed that all true
friends of convention should be in favor
of such hill.
OF course those not in favor of Consti-
| tutional Reform will oppose this or any
| other bill, and their views should have no
weight In the determination of this ques-
tion.
