The people knew but little of the

they know more than ever of the

Partisan Tricks, Indeedl

Republicans ofDelaware have good
reason to fear Democrats. While
the presence of a Democrat in the
Constitutional Convention is not
feared the presence of majority of
Democrats would be very much
feared indeed. There never was any
thing to be stolen politically that a
majority Of Delaware Democrats
failed to "freeze on to-" We are nat.
urally suspicious Of them for they
have so very many times in the past
profted by Republican credulity that
in future there will not be any Re
publicans so foolish and so weak as
TO trust them. A majority of Re.
publieans will draw a constitution
fair to all alike and not one that can
be twisted to suit al occasions. By
all means give us non-partisan con-
ventiOn, but the only way to get a
non-partisan convention is to make
it out of the material that the Re
publieans will furnish. This is a
Republican year and Republican
State we are living in and these are
Republican seasons everywhere. til
is knowledge of these facts that

WASHINGTON LETTER.
