during the first two wee ks OF June, has
received large number of pamphlets
from Washington containing instruc-
tions that will guide the enumerators in
their work.
A copy of these instructions has been
forwarded to each enumerator, who is
expected to read the same carefully, so
that each will be thoroughly familiar
with the duties Of their position. In de-
fining the rights OF these officers, the
pamphlet sets forth that the enumerator
ls empowered to enter every building,
including institutions, and to every
manufacturing or mechanical establish
ment within his or her district for the
purpose of obtaining information.
"You are cautioned, however," the
instructions read, mot to obtrude need

In line with this, only more insiguif-

tion has lost its force. The men who
caught their earlier inspirations from the
fathers Of the Republican party are mar

redemption Of Delaware, and that has
