NOTES.
The Lion and Lamb Lie
Down Together. A
Happy Result.


| The lion and the lamb have OF last con-
Guided that 1t was to their mutual Interest.
to lie down together and yesterday thi
comedy was enacted. Tho Union Repub-
licans saw that defeat was soon to follow
their suicidal policy and made overtures o
peace to the Regulars which was gladly
enough accepted and tho pow.wow tool

sometime In tho different tribes camps
was pronounced done which after beinl

The fratricide which had being going On

amongst the masses, who cared more for
the SUCCESS Of The Republican party than
any man or set Of meu who were after tho
gain and would only catch the husks to

honorable on both sides and should

The partisan manner In which the Reg
listers have been selected In Delaware
should be called to the personal attention
OF President Mckinley. 1t might perhaps
open his eyes to tho unfairness to which
the Republicans havo been subjected for
years. We need encouragement and
great deal oft. Discussions are bound to
occur in all parties but the Republican
party In our State has had moro than It's
share OF them, with victory only q few
