Col. Doc, XII, 496. The Suffrage in Delazvare. 269 probable that no elections by the people were held on the South River under the government of the Duke of York. With the cession of the Delaware lands to Penn the his- tory of the lower settlements is for a time overshadowed by that of their more prosperous neighbors in Pennsyl- vania. It is probable that the local government, both of Delaware and Pennsylvania, was largely influenced by the previous powers of the three courts on the Delaware, f...or Penn's frames and laws, while singularly explicit regarding a general representative system, were almost silent upon the subject of local government, and it is quite likely, al- though perhaps not demonstrable, that he drew upon the existing forms for his county government. 1 It is not necessary here to review the various suffrage provisions of the Pennsylvania legislation from 1682 to 1702, for the province and the territories were under the same government during this time. But jealousies between the two sections soon arose, and in 1699 some of the lower counties refused to elect representatives ; and during Penn's second visit the conflict of interests continued, until in the charter of privileges of 1701 he inserted a provision per- mitting the legislative separation of the province and terri- tories.
