the same time they showed proper re-
gard for the rights of the travelling

heavy rain-storm that prevailed during

houses laid in ashes, then people will
arouse themselves to the necessity of

can party of Delaware, in convention
having delegated its nomi-
mating power to Addicks' man, Alice
now make it complete by appointing
him the State Committee, and endOw
him with all powers it now has or may

ware. Why not authorize him to cast
the vote e. tho Union Republican party |
on next C'eCti1n day. and be done With |

First district are protesting on every
hand but nobody chronicles the truth
as to the real sentiment. A word to
the wise is sufficient-Crisheld Times.
