STATE COMMITTEE MEETING

Politics were az a high pitch this |
morning and. everywhere one went he
could hear discussions relative to the
Republican situation as it is al present. !
and many openly condemned the action
of the Union Republican County Com
mittee in failing to confer with the Re-
publican County Committee yesterday
afternoon.
AS the matter now stands the two
factions are as wide apart as ever ap-
parently, although there are some who
assert that an adjustment will be
reached before many hours have
elapsed.
A call has. been issued by the chair
man Of the State committee for a meet
ing Of that body to be held in this city
on Saturday next at II o'clock. Sena-
tor Ball, who returned today from
fishing trip off Lewes, refused to dis
cuss the situation. There will be an-l
other meeting tomorrow night at the
West Side Republican Club at which
all candidates are invited to be pres
ent.

Almost an impossibility.
Much talk has been indulged in re-
garding the passage of a negro disfran-
chisement act in the event of the Dem
Ocrats obtaining control Of the next
Ao ..
Legislation is almost an impossibility as
ito bring about such a measure an
amendment to the constitution would
be necessary. In order to accomplish
this a two-t third vote of each house OF
the next legislature. to be followed by
a similar vote in-the following General
Assembly would have to prevail.
Relative to the subject Article XVI
Section of the Constitution of the
State of Delaware says: ANY amend
ment or amendments to this consti-
tuition may be proposed and
II the same shall be agreed upon by
two thirds Of all the members elected
to each House. such proposed amend
ment or amendments shall be entered
upon their journals with the yeas and
nays taken thereon and the Secretary
