The Wilmington Sun wants our sys-
tenn Of nominations at the primaries
abolished, and nominations at a con.
vention substituted There can be nc
valid reason Tor such a change. Under
our system we have two elections, one
within the party. and the other among
all the voters. Frequently a eonven-
tion is packed with delegates made up
at the dictation of the leaders, and
which do not represent the wishes OF
the mass OF voters. There is no like
lphood OF a change, although we admit
that the convention system would be
an advantage to the party controlled
by single man. After ALL majority
rule is the test. and the only way to
apply it is by the continuance Of the
present system.

Wide open and unguarded stand our gates,
Named of the four winds, North South, East,
and West;
Portals that lead to an enchanted land
OF cities, forests, fields of living gold,
Vast prairies, lordly SUBMITS touched with
snow,
Majestic rivers sweeping proudly past
The Arabs date. palm and the Norsemans
A realm wherein are fruits of every zone,
Airs of all climes, for 10! throughout the
The red rose blossoms somewhere-a rich
later Eden planted in the wilds,
With not an inch of earth within its bourd
But if slaves foot press it sets him free!
Here, it is written, Toll shall have it's wage,
And Honor honor, and the humblest man
Stand !evel with the highest in the law.
OF such a land have men in dungeons dreamed,
And with the vision frightening in their eyes
Gone smiling to the fagot and the sword.
Wide open and unguarded stand our gates,
And through them presses a wild motley
throng-
Men from the Volga and the Tartar steppes,
Featureless figures of the Hoang Ho,
Malayan, Scythian, Teuton, Kelt and Slav,
Flying the Old Worlds poverty and scorn;
These bringing with them unknown gods
and rites,
Those, tiger passions, here to stretch their
claws.
In street and alley what strange tongues are
these
Accents of menace alien to our air.
Voices that once the Tower of Babel knew!
o Liberty, white Goddess is it we'll
To leave the gates unguarded On thy breast
Fold Sorro WIS children, Soothe the hurts of
fate,
Lift the do Wn-tI odden, but with hand of steel
Stay those who to thy sacred portals come
To waste the gifts of freedom Have a care
Lest from thy brow the clustered stars be
torn
And trampled in the dust. For so of old
The thronging Goth and Vandal trampled
Rome,
And where the temples of the Caesars stood
The lean wolf unmolested made her lair.
