Mr.. REYNOLDS, upon taking his seat,
was greeted with round OF applause.
lie said it was unnecessary to make
any Acknowledgement OF the honor

for To he Democrats in these times
means to be WHITE MEN. Applause.
1t is with great pleasure that con
tr,st this meeting with the black-and-
tan gathering that was held here Fri
day night.
You evidently mean business to
morrow. | hope you viii send Inc
news to every Hundred in the state
that Wilmington, redeemed, regenera
ted and discnthralcd, has spoken in
thunder tones for Democratic govern
mcnt in our little Commonwealth.
Applause,
Mr. Reynolds concluded by introlc-
cling Charles g. Lore, Esd, who was
greeted with vigorous applause.
Mr.. Lore said
GENrLENIEN i see that scarcely
need an introduction to Wilmington
audience, certainly not to Wilmington
Democrats.
We are here tonight 20 discuss the
| issues Of the campaign, as III other
DAYS. We are vet free men, free to
cxpress or sentiments, because we
have been battling for the principles
| which underlay the foundations OF ON
| Government.
| In this country there are two parties
democratic and Republican, Inc
Republican party has been IN power
| fourteen ycars-ycarS oil Wrctchcuhes'
| and blood and woe. Who would not
| if he could, blot out the record of 1oul
| of these wears and make them blank
| What have been the results OF TIN
partys administration: II 1t was ARA gn
Ell it would be Ike the guilty Frencl
criminal. who asked for time to procure
II lawyer to defend him. and when aske'

him, replied, THAT'S what / would Ik'
to hear myself"
AS that nudge said, what could be sai'
for this party: They said it was their II
tention to give us IL good government
and fructify the land. Look at tn
Southern States. with their carpet ba
governments, and their impoverishe
plantations. The immense rice and cot
ton fields are now but shadows of tn
substances they once were. IL Is onl
those States which are under Democrat!
, rule, which have regained any OF the
former prosperity. Compare Democratl
Geors ii with South Carolina, governe
by Moses and his crew. The con' to
OF Georgia is ten times more favorabl
than that of South Carolina.
Unless you desire your own lands to n
into this condition you must uphold Tn
principles which constitute good old Den
ocratic government. Applause
Are the people of the Southern state
in better state of unity and good fee
ing under their present government tina
they were ten years ago? Are they MOI
happy? Is there less danger of intel AT
cine strife. No. 1t is only the presence
Federal bayonets which prevents the
internal struggles.
We could excuse them for impovei 81
ing the soil if they gave us good goyell
ment, but for the character of their go'
ernment let the Government OF Sout
/, Carolina speak. Here the Legislature
one day adjourned to witness horse rae
on the result of which the Speaker 10

= Treasury. This is no campaign var
