Delaware inquirer. (Wilmington, Del.) 1859-18??, 1859-10-01

ed the propriety of calling and hearing the
speech which the other acquiesced in. They
both entered the Hall yard and mingled with
the crowd. This was the night that we have
given some account of in the foregoing chap
ter, which would maksi superfuous for us to
recount at present.
After the meeting was over Frank and the
tall map, arm in arm, walked forth to Market
street, and loutered about the open space be-
fore the Hall. The large assembly that had
short time before listened to the eloquence of
the gentleman from Kent County, were now
divided into small groups and were scattered
about under the trees arguing the possibility
of their being any truth in the assertions made
by tile orator.
Some thought that there might be some lit
tie romance in the speech which might not
turn out much after all while others thought
that the facts disclosed was God-send to de-
feat tho Wing candidate for Governor.
Frank and his tall companion sauntered
about for short time, when the tall gentle
man proposed that they should take some re-
freshments. At the ideaof going to restaur-
ant he shuddered; he thought of the evening
he had spent there before, and its fatal results
He excused himself and said he would rather
not; he was not in eating tune, but the excuse
was not acceptable, and the tall man insisted.
II was no harm TO eat a few oysters, and even
at an unreasonable hour it could do no serious
injury. They entered a restaurant, and soon
the viands were set smoking upon the table
The great speech of the evening was the topic
of conversations Frank did not think that
that kind of argument would be of much SER
vice to the party using it. He thought that
it were better to appeal to the reasoning fac
ulties of the voters, than to abuse candidate,
no matter how black his character should be.
Frank had been acquainted with the man who
had been SO wantonly abused, and he knew
that the allegations were either exaggerated
or utterly false.
To have laid his party predictions aside,
and vote for the Wing candidate for Governor,
was the uppermost thought in his mind but
then the party strings that compel men to
vote their partizan ticket pulls so tightly that

not to support the regular nominations.
Frank did not fully disclose his views, in
regard to the much abused candidate for Gov
ernor, to his friend he knew that such a
