REPEAL OF THE REGISTRATION FEE.
Since its Payment is Provision of the COnsti
tuition, That instrument Must be Amended.

Some down-State Democratic papers
says the EUery EUeniag, urge the re-
peal of the dollar registration fee, and
base their demands upon the fact that
the last Democratic State Convention
declared in favor of this change But
it should be borne in mind that the
Democratic party of Delaware was
sOundly defeated at the last election.
The people, therefore, repudiated its
platform declarations, and the Leg
islature cannot be expected, nat
urally, to comply with its demands.
SO much for the declaration of the
Democration platform as as a reason
why the dollar registration fee should
be repealed. In addition, there is nc
good reason why it should. be. And
further, the payment of a registration
fee of one dollar is provision of the
Constitution, and cannot be abrOgated
without amending that instrument.
