The Resolutions
WHEREAS, There is deep and pro.
found anxiety among the Republicans OF
this State that there should be not only
single ticket for Presidential electors,
but also for the State, county and district
offices; therefore be it.
Resolred, That there is the sense OF this
committee that the Republicans should
have common primaries in the several
counties and would recommend to the
committees Of Kent and Sussex Counties,
that upon the receipt of any proposals
from the Union Republican county COM
nittees to that end, that they should take
such action as, in their judgment, would
lead up to common primaries in their re-
spectiye counties; and be it further
Resoleed, That we earnestly desire and
seek by fair and honorable adjustment,
a single State ticket.
Groupes Of Regular Republicans gath
cred in the neighborhood of Tenth and
Market streets awaiting the adjournment
Of the committee. As the members OF
HE committee left the building they we're
stopped to know the result OF the meeting.
All who heard OF the action of the COM
mittee expressed their pleasure that the
Regular State Central Committee had
taken action to have one ticket for all
offices in tile State from electors to in
spectors.

short. For nearly fifty years
they had control Of affairs in each
county and in the State, and must
stand upon their record. Their
course in re-nominating men who
played prominent parts in the
officers of New Castle County
between 1892 and 1900, discloses
their intention should the people
again trust them. By their
works we know them.

STEAWS
ssIt would be ridiculous to take
the result of the Vermont State
election as certainly settling the
| outcome of the November battle.
In every contest at the polls the
element of chance endures until
the last ballot is in the box and
the count has been completed.
"The fact stands, however,
that the September balloting in
Vermont has heretofore proved
an unerring barometer of general
results in a Presidential year.
AS the Republican plurality there
has approximated $4,000 the Re
publicans have proved success
ful at the November polls. AS
it has fallen below that figure
the victory in November has
gone to the Democrats, and as it
has climbed above the 10000
mark the Republicans have swept
the county with such results as
constitute a landslide.
This year Vermont has sent
her Republican plurality above
the 10000 line. by the record
the State has made Republicans
are warranted in accepting it as
an auguary of victory to come.
By the desperate endeavors the
Democrats made to keep the plur
aity under 25, 200 it is fair to con
clude that they entertain the be-
lief that any plurality under that
figure is a prediction Of a Demo
cratic victory.
"But the thing Of Importance
is the sentiment which produced
the figures. Had Vermont's Re
publican plurality fallen marked
ly below the figure reached in
1900 it would have been pretty
clear that the Republicans of that
State were dissatisfied with the
National Administration that
the gold Democrats have re-
turned to their party fold, and
that there were existent disord-
ers of the political blood which
would have to come out at the
November polls. That Vermont
has voted Republican plurality
even greater than that given in
the Republican landslide year of
1900 is proof Of the most positive
character that the people are sat
isfed with the administration Of
the national government by Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
Sand these things are empha-
sized by the unprecedentedly
small Democratic majority in
Arkansas, where the Republi-
cans won a virtual victory by re-
ducing the Davis majority. From
two States, one as rock-ribbed in
its Republicanism as the otbefis
in its Democracy; one an uner-
ring barometer Of Presidential
contest and the other unchang-
ing and unyielding in its Demo
cratic rigor, there comes the
same message. It is that all is
we'll with the nation; that the peo-
pie are satisfied, contented, and
not disposed to reject the known
Roosevelt for the unknown Par
ker. to throw down proved Re-
publicanism for conglomeration
of Democratic promises.-North

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION


The Democratic convention at Dover
closed Tuesday night as the clocks were
striking ten and the wearind and sup
PEERLESS delegates fled from the scence OF
their nightmare. Every combination had
been smashed, for even former Senator
R. r. Kenny, the master Of the situation,
welded the axe in order to be in fashion
or to show his generosity.
The delegates from New Castle who at
the previous convention had received the
compliment OF being dubbed "jack asses"
by Mr.. Kenney played the part of per-
fection, and Mr.. Kenney smiled as he re-
garked them and thought Of the patient
beasts bearing the load he imposed
Everything went down before Kenney.
The Wolcott people capitulted early and
did such loyal work that one could hardly
imagine their recent conversions. Peter
J. Ford, who has not been regarded as
especially unfriendly to Kenney, was led
like lamb to the slaughter, and sick
looking lamb he was when kenney got
through with him. He stood in Mr..
Kenney's path-need more be said?
