THE END is NEAR.

We have predicted from the first
that the Democrats would organize
and control not only the Constitutional
Convention. but also both branches Of
the General Assembly. That predic-
tion is about to be verified. To-mor-
row, or as soon thereafter as practi-
cable, the Constitutional Convention
will recognize and seat the ten Demo
cratic delegates-elect from Kent
county. and one month later the Demo
cratic members-elect Of that county
viii be recognized and seated by the
General Assembly.
The Addicksites cannot profit by the
gross fraud they perpetrated upon tho
purity of elections in Kent county
Writs of mandamus and other legal re-
source will not avail them. While theiI
fight in the courts is still pending, the
Democratic delegates and members
will be performing their proper func-
tions and the result will be that as
the Constitutional Convention and
General Assembly are the judges Of tho
qualifications Of their own members

SOME YITAL ouEsTIoNs.

Tomorrow the Constitutional Con-
vention, Of Delaware. will begin its
work the consummation Of which Will
be new Constitution fitted to the
present needs of the people of our
state. The delegates are men Of sound
and sober judgment and we may ex-
pect them to frame an instrument
which will be acceptable to the people
whether referred to them for ratihca-
tion or not. That the Democrats Will
control the body there is no longer any
doubt They will have good working
majority, but this advantage, arising
from the result Of the recent election,
will not be abused. AS the RESPONSE
bility for the new Constitution has
been placed upon the shoulders Of the
Democratic party, it will perform its
duty in a manner acceptable to all
right-thinking people.
There are many changes contem
plated. They will radically affect the
executive, legislative and judicial
branches OF our government It is
probable that the appointive power of
the governor may be curtailed and that
the matter Of n board of pardons may
be engrafted to relieve the executive
of the immense personal responsibility
whichnow rests upon him in the matter
Of the exercise of executive clemency
The bitterest controversy attending the
sitting OF the convention will doubt
less be over the matter of the appor-
tionment of the legislative representa-
tion. New Castle county will demand
increased representation. Kent and
Sussex counties will be loath to grant
to it the increase demanded. The
New Castle county delegates will stand
shoulder to shoulder in support Of the
demand and may receive support
from the FIVE Republican members
from Sussex county, but the outcome
will be that this county must take just
what the two lower counties will
grant, be it much or little. One of the
most important things to be done is to
remodel the judiciary. When Hon.
John M. Clayton framed the present
Constitution, 1t was his idea TO make
a strong lower court and to have few
appeals, but his plan has lost public
favor and there is widespread feeling
that the present system of transacting
court business, especially that of a
criminal nature, should be simplided
and made more expeditions and less
expensive, especially in the matter of
petty criminal cases. Not only that
but a number of the delegates are in
favor of having an elective judiciary
with the districts so divided as to in
sure the representation Of both parties
on the bench.
These are but q few of the many
important questions which the conven-
tion will be called upon to settle, but
they are among the most important
and far-reaching. The Republican mi
nority ought to exert it's best efforts tC
aid and not to hamper the Democratic
majority in its work of handling Ques-
tions of such great weight and public
import.

The general election is scarcely over
before the local politicians begin pre-
pairing for the municipal election, TO be
held next June. 1t is understood that
the regular Republicans are already
preparing their slate without taking
the Addicks people into consideration,
but. if reports be true, counter slate
is being set up by the Addiclksites, and
as there is to be no compromise, both
will be broken and the Democratic
municipal ticket will be elected.

According to a Kansas City despatch,
it is certain that a bill will be intro

It is safe to say that such a bill will
