The State Convention.

In another column will be found
the call of the Chairman Of the Re-
publican State Committee for the
assembling of the State Convention,
to select delegates to the st. Louis
Convention. The primaries will be
held on Saturday, May 9th. 1t is
the duty of all men who desire the
success of the progressive and right
eous principles Ofthe party, to ate nd
and take an active part in these meet
ings. 1t is at these that the sover-
eign power Of the people is handed
over to the few that are delegated to
express the will of the whole in the
State Convention; and it is of the
highest Importance that the good
and true men in every hundred shall
make their power felt in these pri-
mary assemblies. This power should
only be delegated to faithful and
competent men. Faithful that the
will of the people of the hundred
may be truly represented. and COM
petent, that their desires may be
properly and strongly presented in
the larger assembly.
Ii is through and to these meet
ings ofthe people that Cliques Rings,
Demagogues and aspirants for place
and power exert their influence; and
it is here, more easily and certainly
the good and true men who have the
interests of the State and Nation at
heart, may thwart the ambitious de-
signs of the unworthy time-serving
politicians.
Let our people in every hundred
turn out, then, on Saturday May 9Th,
and send an able delegation to Dover
to meet and counsel with their fell
lows upon the general interests.

fering soil hang out in pitiful appeal
your rickety dwellings and
cherries hearthstones, your stray
Cling ,hide-bound villages where tum-
ble-down "taverns" traffic in the
liquid death that gives momentary
surcease to the mind starylings who
drink to drown their sense of want
and woe or to kill the corroding ennui
that breeds and broods around your
stagnant social life. As you view
all this you must acknowledge that
no political change, in the State or
in the Nation, can possibly be for
the worse. Then possess your soul
in patience. The change which you
seem to deplore will come with the
election this year The gray twi-
light of brighter day-dawn is al
ready visible in the horizon, and the
people are ready to hail it with
shouts of rejoicing. They feel that
it BODIES them good. 1t will bring
beaiieent change. Citizens of Sus-
sex, and of Kent, too, heed its pre-
sage. Break at once, the chains
of slavish servitude by which you
have been led so long, and join the
ranks of benificent reform, join the
ranks of the grand old Republican
party.

The Negro IN Delaware.

The Negro IN Delaware.
/ Ever since the war the Republican
demagogues and carpet-baggers have
been whispering honeyed nothings
into the ear of the negro and using
him as a stepping stone to places of
political preferment and power. No
party ever had a more cOmplaisant
tool or used it to better advantage.
In no state has this been more mani
fest than in Delaware. The negro
vote is the bed rock upon which the
houses of Higgins. Addicks and all
the rest ofthat precious crowd, which
is now struggling for political SUI
premacy, are built. Eliminate it.,
and everything falls. The white Re
publican would be in such a hopeless
minority that it would be waste of
time for them to meet and nominate
candidates for the various Offices

people in ignorance, that they may
continue to be the tools of those in

of thinking, have been trying to Sc
cure from Miss Willard an endorse
mant of the movement, Her presence
here was seized upon as an oppor-
tunity to personally solicit her for
an opinion, and four of the most en-
Lhusiastic Single Takers were pre-.
sent at the meeting. At the close of
her address one of the men arose
and requested permission to ask a
few questions. Miss Willard, not
understanding him and thinking he
had asked about the collection, an
swered that one had already been
taken. Then the man wrote out a
question and sent it to the platform
Miss Willard read the pencilled
words and then, advancing to the
front of the platform, said that she
had received similar question
through the mails, and while she

had answered. by letter The sub

experimenting, and when success and econ

them, for a good thing will always win its
