to draw the line around the ballot-box
SO that the approach to it shall come
through the school house. This is an
immediate question in Virginia, where
the people have voted for a revision Of
the State Constitution.
Delaware has set the old Dominion
as well as other States an example
that they might find it advantageous
to follow in this connection. Under
the provisions of our Constitution no
one coming of age or becoming a
citizen after January l. 1900, is entitled
to exercise the right of franchise in
this State who is not able to read the
Constitution and to write his name.
This is a long stride towards making
the school house an avenue to the bal
lot box.

ALREADY NOMINATED.

William J. Bryan is already the Dem
ocratic candidate for President Moth
ing but death can prevent his nomina-
ton at Kansas City. More delegates
have already been instructed for him
than are required to nominate.
The Convention will be composed Of
$50 delegates. According to the two
thirds rule, in force for many years
e20 votes will be necessary to nomi-
nate. 1872 delegates have already been
elected, of these 696 have been instruc-
ted for Bryan, The other 36, repre-
senting Maryland and New Jersey
were not instructed, though the State
Conventions endorsed him.
With Bryan absolutely certain af the
nomination, and the choice Of nine
tenths of the Democrats of Delaware
would it not be the worst Of folly for
our State Convention to refuse MIN its
endorsement.
