must unite in order to elect the candidates
nominated for the offices to bs filed next
November. What they may accomplish
In Legislative capacity can be determined

than before it. II they fail to elect II ma
tority Of the members Of the Legislature,
thoy will DO powerle:s to elect I. single Of

they quarrel over any matter that they
may never have the privilege OF controll-

over the division of the Offices befor, tho
election. After securing control Of tho
Legislature the members should submit

ACCORDING to statement from General
John p. Donohoe, the line officers OF the
First Delaware Regiment will DO given
general shaking up for the Partially they

IT should be made compulsory upon the
owners Of vehicles to display light after
dark. Numerous accidents would thereby
be avoided. We know Of an accident that
took place on the Kennott turnpike,

light on the vehicle.
