Full Text

The Grubb Bill for increased representation for New Castle county will probably come up in the Senate for final action to-day or early in next week. The opinion seems to prevail at Dover that it will pass by an almost unanimous vote. This bill does not give New Castle county all that was hoped for, but we do not see that she can gain anything by holding out for more. We have advocated the Grubb bill because we believed it would secure to New Castle county all that Kent and Sussex could be induced to grant in the way of increased representation at this time.
