TO tho eo"'e's:s!ys w.;s. Voters Of Della
My FELLOW CIrIzENs:-I think you will
agree with me in the assertion that there is T
nothing so much needed ut this time, in the
Administration Of the Federal, and many Of the
State and Municipal Governments, as honesty =
and capacity. Those who have been elevated o
10 power by the corrupt and proaigate party now
controlling the affairs ofthe nation, have abused
the civil liberties and powers which were in :
tended only topromotet the happiness. and further
the best interests, fall the people, North, South,
East and West. The leaders Of the "Radical
Junto" are the very antithesis Of the Patriot and
Staeman, for the latter keeps in view. always,
the good Of the whole country, and has at heart,
the interest Of every section, and not only rep.
resents the people Of his district but legislates
for the welfare and happiness Of the whole coun.
try. Now how many such statesmen can We
select from the ranks of.he Radical Party in the
last congress? How many can we find repre-
senting the Radical Party in the Legislatures,
and Municipal Governments Of the Southern |
States? The shameful records Of Congress, and |
the disgracefu proceedings in many, iadeed |
most Of the Southern States tell the sad story OF |
party who rules in the interest Of sell, and
with view Of perpetuating its own existence.
i Can the true and patriotic men Of Delaware,
allow general apathy" to take entire control Of
them and thereby permit this selfish party 10
get control Of our much loved little Common
wealth.
How much Of the $50, 900 now in the hands
of our honest and capable Stste Treasurer. do
you suppose would be left there at the expira-
ton of 4S hours after Radical Treasurer got
l his sticky fingers on il? How much do you
suppose our state debt would be increased in IL
months by the great debt contractors. if they
to gain the ascendency to our State? According
i to the way they manage things in the Southern
States and even in the neighboring city Of Phil
ade) phia, it would not take many months to
increase present debt 10 four times its present
: amount? When you hear radical" talking
d about economy and the management Of State
g Finances, ask him if he ever heard Of one Of
Grants friends BY the name Of Holden, a great
radical fnancier, notorious for holding on to
all he got. and rendered himself (in) famous for
l. robbing North Carolina whilst governor ot that
n commonwealth, not only Of millions of money
l"but of her honor and her Credit-the proud
pairimony of her people"
