Wilmington daily commercial., 1872-11-04

not over one-thrd az large az that Of the Repub-
licans 1t was often inattentive and many in
the crowd seemed indifferent to Mr.. Bayaid's
remarks, going and coming, moving about, and
conversing with each other on other subjects.
Nothing, whatever. during the presence of the
COMMERCIALS representative was said as to Mr.
Greeley, and his name was not even mentioned.
THE MEETING AT INSTITUTE HALL-sPEEoH OF sEN-
AToR WILSON GREAT CROWD AND MUCH ESTHU-
sIAeM.
Upon the arrival Of the train from Milford,
| about o'clock, Mr. Wilson was hurried into
coach and driven rapidly to Institute Hall,
where large audience Of earnest Republicans
awaited him. Several of the campaign clubs
were present at the depot to escort the honored
Senator to the meeting, but the brevity of his
| stay forbade so slow a passage through the
streets without serious curtailment of the
time allotted for his speech. Institute Hall
was never more densely packed. Every seat
occupied. the asles were filled and persons
we're even sitting upon the front of the stage.
This was the condition of things when Mr.. Will
son arrived, but as soon az his presence was
known, general rush OF persons about in the
city was made for the hall. The Railways were
soon filed and by the time the torchlight pro-
cession arrived in front Of the building II is est
mated that there were fully three Thousand
| persons outside unable to gain admission.
Market street was a dense mass OF moving
surging humanity, 80 great was the crowd.
The meeting was organized by the election OF
| E. U. Stotsenberg President, who at once intro
| duced Mr.. Wilson. His appearance received
with great applause. In a voice very husky he
said have come to speak to you il have voice
| enough left. do not come, he said, to plead for
votes to determine the Presidential election.
That question is settled beyond all contingencies
Twenty-seven States sure to cast their votes
for General Grant, and am anxious that the
State of Delaware shall cast her vote with the
Republican States. l am anxious not as matter
OF power, but b cause do not wish to the
nation divided 30 late or that there shall be
any difference politically between the races. The
next four years hope will be healing years, whom
all contentious shall pass away forever, and that
peace, good fellowship and harmony will prevail
throughout the land.
Reviewing the situation at this time he said he
believed that the Western States, North Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana were morally certain to
cast their votes for Gen. Grant, and he also be-
eved there was chance to carry Arkansas.
Virginia, and Delaware. Besides these he said
he wanted to carry majority Of the Southern
States.
The speaker then paused to consider why the
| coalition movement must fail First he said, it
antagonized itself at once against the business in
terests of this nation All over this land-East
North, West, South-everywhere the merchants
the manufacturers, the men who build and run
your railways, the men engaged in developing
the mining resources of this nation, the Thought
full mechanics, every class aud every condition
felt its influence. | tell you Tonight the move
ment lies dead at the feet of the business men
OF the United States. Such boundless prosperity,
such wonderful development has never been
seen before AZ under the present administration
The credit of the couLt y has risen abroad, and
| gold has tumbled in a few months from 1873 to
| Ill. 10000, 900 of taxation has been reduced
annually, and We are moving towards specie pay
ments.
Again it had antagonized itself to the toiling
men OF the countryside men who support them
| selves by manual labor. The Republican party
had done more for these men than any other. Il
had set free 100000 Of these people at the
| South, wiped out the dishonor of slavery and
fad fha foil 10 anhar nF
| existence.
| The speaker next adverted to the calumnies
| heaped upon the President, and successfully re-
| tuted every one of them, showing that he
had done no more than other Presidents had
| done in absenting himself from his office and.
| further, that his administration had been the
most successful since the days Of John Quincy
| Adams.
| Mr.. Wilson was interrupted in the midst of
his speech by the expiration of the time allotted
him. He said, however, that Wilmington was
| lively, growing and prosperous city, because it
was the home Of intelligent mechanics. He
wanted to see the city grow and increase, and
/ all through it to behold schools and school
/ houses spring up. The people, he said bad
| right to be educated. Besides, he wanted to see
the city take up. the State and infuse into it the
/ same energy aud enterprise which had marked
/ its own career. The state is small but there is
| great deal to develop.
When Mr.. Wilson had concluded, three rousing
| cheers were given for him by Thousand voices,

i voice, he said further, was Just coming back to

/ longer. He felt deep interest in our city, and
i entertained the greatest respect for our indus

The meeting at the Hall was continued after
i the departure Of Mr.. Wilson, Col. SnoWden of
/ Cumberland county, Pa, occupying the stage.
He continued the eulogy upon Gen. Grants
administration, holding the large audience with
| in the Hall by his pleasing address and the in
terest which he awakened in the minds Of his
hearers Immediately upon coming forward.
