The Republicans of Delaware are surely

The delegates to the Constitutional Con.
yentlon, which meets to-day, arrived in
Dover yesterday. Last evening they cau-
ccuaed and, my, what time they did havel
Never were some of the irresponsible
Democrats SO much In evidence, and they
were not even delegates. They had mora
to say than the delegates themselves.
Their talk was revolutionary and tended
to create trouble.
These are the men who seek to control
the affairs of Delaware. They are dis.
grace to their party and the state as we'll.
They are NOT tit to govern themselves, lot
alone govern the people of Delaware

the present one?

What kind Of politics are we striving
for?
The writer of this article had al ways
been taught that any Republican was pre-.
ferable to u Democrat, but there are hun
dreds of Republicans in our state that
think otherwise.

Fred Eden Bach in the Republican
GlaasGs has tho following to say about the
contest going on in The Kent county
court;
"A bought delegation is less degrading
to the sta &c than "a stolen one. There have
been bought delegations before. Tho
members Of the Democratic delegation of
Kent have among them several notorious
is bought and sold in Kent. To the vico
Of buying votes tho Kent Democrats have
added that Of stealing votes. BY that
theft they propose to control the Consti-
tutiUnai Convention and the Legislature.
II won't work. Bolh the convention and
the General Assembly would thousand
times better DO broken up than allow
cilhor to 20 through tho farce Of legisla-
ton by means Of such instruments. j.
Frank Alec vii! sit in the neyt Senate, or
there WON'T 10 a state Senate. This Is the
time TO cal halt. No man with u spark
Of PATRIOTISM IN him oan submit to such q
condition Of things, No Innn who cares
for his State can submit to it. Unless,
halt is made there will be no use for eloc
lions IN the future"
Fred is even willing to have an Addicks
Republican seated in the Senate and
why? Simply because 1t will be the means
of Keeping the Democrats from passing
any partisan laws. Only this md nothing
more is his Repubicanism awakened
from the hydrophobia that has overtakon
him and numerous other men in our
state. Years ago when =. Frank Alice
was Higgins worker he was considered
a safe Republican, Why, not now9 His
seat in the senate will DO worth II great
deal to the Republicans in Delaware
From the looks OF things, politics will
be real lively in Dover this winter. Tho
wire pulling has already commenced and
whur the Legislature meets in January,
the people will witness one of the prcttiest
fights over seen IN Delaware.
1t promises TO beat tho Addicks fight all
hollow. We wonder II ex-ChnncellOr
j. L WClcott remembers when he was en-
gagged in debauchirg the votes of Kent
county IN his memorable contest for tho
Scnatorship with John F. Salisbury; and
how th5 Democrats were defeated in thcir
fight and Republicans elected in their
stead to the Legislature, and how that
body sent ex-senator Anthony Higgins to
the u S, Senate. We don't think he has
any cause room to call tho kettle black,
as he did in his argument for the men who
are now trying to cheat the Republican
voters Of Kent county out of their VIC
tory as decided by their ballots on Novem-
