tbs entire plant and business Of the

hearty support it has received from the
public generally.
To be worth. of this support and to
grow aud improve with the growth and

THE ROANOKE BASEBALL CLUE.

The baseball enthusiast of Virginia
seem determined not to be without a
league and an active effort is now being
made in the principal cities to organize
one. 1t is to be hoped that the effort
will be entirely successful and we think
we can bespeak for the promoters OF
the organization the cooperation OF the
many lover. of the great American
game resident in this city. We have
here some Of the best players in the
State as has been frequently proven,
and they will take great interest in the
proposed movement. In the race 'fol

The concurrent sentiment of all
classes of men has never been so strong
in earnest advocacy of convention
and a new constitution, as since the
last election. When they scan the
partizan work in whatever county they
may look, they find the oft used max
i'm of lighting the devil with fire" as
put forth in the exercise of practical
politics, has brought US to demOral-
lied and dangerous condition.
Debauchery stalks forth as the con-
trolling power-there is not a man in
the state active in politics who does
not feel politically besmirched, and in
his inner consciousness have a sense o.
moral degradation. While a new con
stitution will not make men absolutely
fair in political methods, it may by
equally balanced laws and proper safe
guards put it out ofthe power of bat
men to use such debauchery and trad
ing in franchises as exists under thu
present order of things.

The Republicans of Delaware are
again defeated, bat in comparison with
other States they have done well-cut
down the Democratic majority about
2,OOO votes as against that of 1888, and
carried New Castle County, which has
a greater population than tina, of Kent
and Sussex combined. Other Repub-
lican States have lost heavily, but Del
aware has made big Republican gains.
Delaware Republicans are beaten. but
not dsmayed. New Castle is solid and
promises to be kept so. In Sussex Re-
publicans still have the Levy Court.
la Kent the Democratic majority is
less than 800.

THE membership of the next house
will be 332. OF this number the Demo
Gratis and Farmers'Alliance have cleo
ted 242 and the Republicans 80. The
Farmers Alliance men are classed as
Democrats with which party they will
doubtless cooperate in the organization
of the house and upon all strictly par
tizan questions. The Alliance men
who were successful were chosen by
combination with the Democrats ex-
cept those in Minnesota, Nebraska and
Kansas, who we're elected over the
candidates of the two great parties.
These number five in Kansas one in
Minnesota, and two in Nebraska, eight
in all. Mr.. L. L. Polk. President of
the National Farmers Alliance claims
that S8 straight out Alliance men have
been elected to the House, that ~ or I5
Others are pledged to cooperate with
the Alliance. 1t is not probable how
ever that the Alliance men number SO
and it is still less probable that a con-
siderable number of those elected from
the South will array themselves against
the Democrats. There is no reason ia
doubt that at least 225 Representatives
elect to the Fifty-seeOnd Congress will
be present at the Democratic caucus
which will nominate officers for the
House.

fourth Of March, 1891, will contain four

Sussex Journal.
The people of Sussex are a sensible
people. They are clear headed and
they can see straight. They know
when thing is one sided and unfair,
and because they know this they voted
against the Republican party whose
one sided partisanship in Sussex, falls
little short of the partisanship of the
nltiOnal Republican leaders who have
acted as if the minority had no rights
that the majority is bound to respect.
The country has redeemed itself, Old
Sussex has redeemed herself, Old Kent
has redeemed herself; Delaware has
redeemed herself, but we are sorry
that, amid the rejoicing, New Castle is
out in the cold.

THE cyclone that struck the north
ern part of our country with such ire
sistible force last week, did not stop
with the damaging blow to the Repub-
licans, but Prohibition seems to have
been carried down everywhere in the
wreck. and in Wisconsin, the effort to
have children who are growing up un-
der the fostering care of America ;
taught the national language three
months in the year, was defeated by an
inimical Anti-American spirit.

Daily Republican

Our Democratic friends are not
blind to the fact that the Republicans
ofWilmingtOn alone have a reserve force
of at least 1900 voters who were on the
delinquent lists and could not vote last
Tuesday. They will vote hereafter as
we'll as every Democrat who has the
right to vote. Facing this large Repub-
lican reserve vote and large vote from
their own party ready to help the Re
publican cause of reform, the Demo
Gratis will not dare to postpone longer
the constitutional and other reforms
the Republicans have been asking for
and advocating. These reforms may
come with a tinge of Democratic color
ing but they are bound to come, and
even if they do have the Democratic
tinge better that than no reform. But
we do not anticipate any strong parti-
san legislation. The Republicans
have four members in the Senate to
the Democrats five, and the majority
of the latter is made up of such mer
as Ex-Governor Hall aud ex-COngress
man Williams made conservative by
age and experience. and who it is rea
sOnable to expect will not lend thei
influences to any extreme partisan
measures.
