Tho Republican League OF Delaware, in
convention assembled, resolves as follows:
FIRST, That the Republican party, OF
which we are a representative fraction,
stands ever proud and triumphant as the
advocate Of a union that is pernanent-
peace That tS widespread and enduring
parrlotlem that is inpervtous to gectlonal
haze and party ranoor-civil liberty that is
not shAm-the protection OF the indus
trial interests OF the nation-ths education
of the masses majority rus as against
minority rus--pure eelec.lons-plre morals;
and a wholesome national liie.
Second. That the bold inslnuations OF the
recent Democratic platform, supported by
the shallow sophistrles Of Hon. L omas f.
Bayard, that the attitude OF the Republican
party is menace to Liberties OF tho people
OF this alton. aud this In the face of an
patriotic record OF 80 years,
are both Il libel and shame.
Third. That We unreservedly endorse the
platform of the Republican convention of
DsaTere put forth on the 9Th Of September
last, as touching both national and State
ls6nes.
Fourth. That we emphasize the need OF
reform In the State and
pledge ourselves to all honorable and rea.
sonable sacrifices for Its accomplishment
and support; spurning as neueere and
deceptive the nallyiuE pretences OF the
Democracy. and appealing to the people to
their deslres aud assert their will |

Fifth. That all property, both real and |
lnvested securities as well Rs
ands, houses and stock, is smenable to
axation. That to DENY this is to foster a |
'peoies of class Legislation; 1t is to require |
he toiling farmer to assume the burdens OF |
he capitalist; to make the support OF gov
,rnment onarous to those the least able to
'ear Il, and to breed general dissatisfaction
md dlstrust.
Sixth. That the collection aud assessment |

he condition of the right of suffrage and |
triklng fIom the tax lists all delinquente,
ire not only unjust to non-delinquents by |
compelling them to make good the defioi-
,ncy. but an Insult to the common sense OF
he psope and frightful source OF cor
uption by which the party In power Is en-
Ibled to perpetuate its control by infract-
ag the dearest right Of an American citi-
en-.
Seventh. That we commend our State and
county ticket TO the support OF the party
md OF the psople of tile State. The msn
Who compose them are worthy, competent
