They are here TO make an enunciation
in behalf OF the Republican party OF
Delaware and to nominate a state tick
ct. The convention now In progress is
dlgnlfed, intelligent and representative
in all respects and It's work cannot fail
to be gratifying TO the Republican
voters.

features is the full representation of
delegates from Kent and Sussex coun-
ties. where according TO the Addieks-
ties, the Republicans could not mus
