Russia has been saved from the hui

in Yielding this point we are not cer-
tain that the Mikado has not elevated
himself in an instant to the ranks Of

he has ended a war that was becom-

Mikado relinquishing an indemnity

not certain that the latter is not the
more commanding figure.

PosslaLE PLATFORMS

TN DRAWING their next platform
L the Democrats have two courses
open to them. they may re-state the
doctrines which publicly or privately
they have preached for many years
or they may renounce their past
ideals. bowl over their gods. and adopt
a platform in harmony with their re-
cent policy illustrated Ia Wilmington
city affairs under the sanction and di-
rection Of their state chairman. We
outline herewith the two possible plat
forms
We the Democrats Of Delaware,
In convention assembled reaftirm-
ing our loyalty TO the principle Of
a white mans party, adopt the
following PLATFORM
We demand legislation which
VIII nullify the Fifteenth Amend
ment. under grandfather"
clause or similar provision.
We deny the fitness Of the coll
ored man to exercise the right Of
the franchise. and particularly his
fitness to hold office. We de-
nounce the Republican party for
electing a negro TO Council
We pledge ourselves to adopt
legislation which will prevent ne
groes from riding on railroad
trains or other public conveyances
in the same compartments with
white people.
We pledge the citizens of Della
ware TO restore the negro TO the
status he occupied In this state
prior to the civil War.
Now that platform would be con-
sistent with the Democratic partys
past Here is one that would be con-
sistent with its present:
We hereby repudiate our past
attitude regarding the negro.
We pledge ourselves not to in
terfere with his right of suffrage.

in the distribution Of public Of

We point with pride to the fact
that SIX patriotic Democratic

promise fuller recognition in the
