to the citizens of these United States
and their posterity, 1t again asserts its
firm belief in and adherence to the or.
ganic principles of the National Repub
lican party, and most unreservedly re
adopts each and every plank of the plat.
form OF said National party made and
promulgated at st. Louis in the year A,
D., 1896, excepting the one relating to
the civil service law.
.. That the prosperous, contented and
happy condition OF the people OF the
United States, which has existed since
the return OF the Republican party to the
direction and control of the policies and
affairs of the nation on March 4. A. D.,
1897, and still continues, was brought
about and continues by reason OF the
confidence inspired by that return and
by the wise, sound, careful, prudent and
patriotic management, control and direc-
tion of the national affairs by the present
Republican administration; and, while
we emphaticallv protest that in return
for loyal support and the electoral vote
of Delaware in 1896, the Union Republi-
cans of this state have received unfair
and unjust treatment by the present ad-
ministration, yet we believe that the
general welfare and the exigiencies of the
nation, III order tn certain beneficial,
wise and good measures proposed by the
administration and not yet carried out
to their fullest extent, demand and re.
quire the loyal support of the Union Re-
publicans of Delaware of the principles
and candidates of the National Republi'
can party.

prove of the recent legislation by Con-
gress by which the financial affairs oi
the nation are placed on sound, safe,
healthy and secure basis, and in view ol
that legislation we congratulate ourselves
that we, first, in State Convention met
on November 4, A. D.. 1897, declared as

MANUAL TRAINING
MAY BE EXTENDED
Effort TO be Made to Have it Intro
duced in the Grammar
School.

A determined. effort is to be made by
certain members OF the Board OF Ednea-
tion to extend the teaching OF manual
training in the schools, to grades other
than the High School.
thomas B. 0'Donnell, member Of
the Tenth ward, expects to partially ae-
c3mplish this in the near future by the
following amendment to the rules, which
charge the revision OF the bylaws, rules,
etc., of the board:
Each of the teachers in the said de-
partment OF manual training and draw
ing shall give two hours on each Satur-
day in the forenoon in teaching the arts
OF manual training and drawing to the
boys OF the filth and sixth grades of the
different grammar schools, teaching the
boys from one grammar school each on
Saturday in their turn, and the president
and superintendent with the committee
on manual training shall see the same
put into effect and the above officers and
committee shall have full control. The
school shall open at 8 O'Clock a. m, and
close at II o'clock a. M, on each Satur-
day OF the school year."
Mr.. O'Donnell in speaking of the mat
ter, said that he believed there would be
little opposition to this amendment and
that he hoped that before long they
could pei manently establish the teach
ing of manual training in the Grammar
Schools. There, he claims, it is greatly
needed.
Many shops are now closing their
doors to apprentices who did not have
some manual training. For this reason
boys nf poor parents who cannot 60 to
the High School must often do laborDg
work When they leaye the Grammar
Schools.
This would all be changed II manual
training were il troduced in the Gram.
mar Schools. Now that so much money
is to be expended on new High School
Bailding, the members opposed to the
bn lding claim something 81 ould be
done for those pupils whose parents CAN
not afford to send them further than tie

will be so arranged at each end of the
track that the entire crowd will be in
formed just where each team stands in
the races. Every precaution will be taken
in the starting of the big machines and
