The Morning News says sit remains
with the Republicans of Kent and Sus-
sex counties to determine the future OF
the party in Delaware. ana later, with
respect to the difference between the
two factions over the matter OF repre-
sentetion in State conventions, it ADDS:
Under the apportionment of 1865 the
Republicans of Wilmington would have
In State conventions one delegate for
each 2lS voters: rural New CASTLE, one
for each 101; Kent county, one for each
80; Sussex county, one for each LID.
That Is not an exorbitant demand. hut
the Union Republicans wish to increase
the representation SO that 1t would
stand: Wilmington, one for eaph 2SI;
rural New Castle county, one for each
81; Kent county, lone for each II ;Sussex
county one for each 9l.
The "unfairness of this proposed ar
rangement'' is strenuously resisted by
the News, but We think that when Re-
publican sentiment, irrespective OF
fractional differences, is sounded, there
will be found a general acquiescence
throughout Kent and Sussex counties,
in an apportionment that will not i'm
part to New Castle county it's former
supremacy.
While representation on the basis OF
population is principle greatly to be
admired, there are instances where its
practical application might not prove
desirable, and the State Of Delaware
furnishes such an instance. 1t is a
State containing single large aud
populous city, which, in the course Of
time. may completely dominate tho bal
ance of the State under a system of rep
resentation according to population.
For this reason, the system is looked
upon with suspicion by citizens of the
rural districts. regardless of their
political preferences, and they have a
natural and deep-rootsd objection to
allowing the jewellers OF cities repre-
sentation in the Legislature and in
State conventions proportionate with
that which they enjoy. 1t is not neces.
sary to recapitulate the reasons ad
vHucei for this discrimination. They
are many, and some Of them pertinent
and forceful.
We do not believe the matter of rep.
resentation is the only difference be-
tween the Republican factions, although
just now it is at the front. Theirs are
other and more serious differences, and
once they are adjusted, the factions
could come together, for the matter oil
representation is one upon which Kent
and Sussex Republicans would stand as
unit againat representation according
to population. and New Castle Repub-
licans would then be compelled to sur
render.

meeting to-day its consequences were dis

THAT SPANISH PRIVATEER.

Warm Reception.


san Francisco. CAL, July 10. The
story which has been widely circulated
that Spanish privateer is lurking IN
the North Pacific for the purpose of
looting treasure laden vessels from the
Klondike is not credited In maritime
circles. The government, however, has
determined to take no chances and has
ordered number OF vessels to be
equipped for patrol duty along this
c0ast.
Lieut.. Commander Lozier of the Al
batross will be at the head of the fleet.
The vessels under his command will
include the Grant, Corwin, Rush and
Perry. The Corwin is now at San
Diego aud the Perry is in Columbia
River. These vessels will be supplied
with new rapid fire guns and some of
them may ultimately be sent to the
Philippines.

Legislative Candidates.

Both parties should nominate good
men as candidates for tho General
Assembly at the NEXT election. 1t
should be made ono OF the chief condi-
lions of the campaign that the next
Legislature shall not be like unto the
last, and if both parties nominate psr-
sonally Objectionable candidates, this
condition will be assured.
Particularly should the Democrats
he very careful with respect of their
legislative nominations. Tbs situation
is such that their party may, through
the existing Republican divisions, con
troll the next Legislatures, and they
ought to put forward the very best men
for the acceptance of this RESPONSE
bility, If it comes, and for the credit
OF the purity IL it does not.
1t 10 probable that the Democratic
nominations will be practically die
tated by the various nspirants to tho
United States Senatorship, but these
hspirants, or those who manage their
campaigns, should bear in mind that
the better tine character of the candi-
date, the hotter will be the chances Of
his election. For the good of the people
they should remember that the lsgisla.
tors will have other public duties than
the election of Senator. They should
not put forward as candidates. mere
puppets who will vote blindly for them.
Intelligent ami reputable men can vote
for them just as faithfully, and serve
the people much better.
