A OFFENCE OF TAFT.
Referring to Senator Bayard's allu>
sions to the decisions of tho Supreme
Court nregard to the Enforcement act,
the speaker said that the power of the
law in reference to elections for Pre-
sident or members of Congress had
never been called into question. 1t
was only declared unconstitutional so
far as it related to local and State Off.
GERS. If no man interferes with the
right of another to vote, there will be
no trouble. If, throughout the South,
all Derringers.a are pocketcd and bowie
knives sheathed. all Federal muskets
will be as harmless as children's toys.
But the Republican party declares,
come victory or defeat, that every man
shall be protected in the rights of his
citizenship.
How is this Southern problem to be
solved! The fittest instrument for this
use is the Republican party. The Re-
publican party has not by long way
fulfilled the responsibility resting upon
it. But have not the time to apollo.
gize for its remissness. or to excuse the
men who have followed it for its loaves
and fishes instead of the high principles
engraved on its banners. Would had
the power to scourge with whips of
cords the men who have sold doves or
changed money in its temples. (Very
faint applause.)
LIBEL ON DELAWARE.
By the laws of Delaware, only
about 81, ,10per head is expended for
school purposes. In Wilmington you
have good schools. because the Repub
lican party controls Wilmington, and
compels the people to have good
schools. More faint applause.)
FREE SPEECH; OH, YES!
The Republican party believes in
toleration. Whoever heard of the
night of free speech and a free press
being denied in Delaware? A party
that believes in freeing every man the
right OF free speech. mo applause at
all.)
| WHAT CAUSED SOUTHERN TROUBLES.
After the reconstruction measures
which followed the war, the educated
whites of the South took no part in
the elections, and the State govern,
ments passed into the hands of ignor.
ant black men, and corrupt legislation
followed.
WHAT WILL REMEDY THEM.
In the country south of Wilmington
the largest portion of the intelligent
white people are identified with the
Democratic party. Let the intelligent
white men of the bouth take charge
OF the Republican party and the
blacks will join their old masters in
the struggle for liberty and justice
The problem comprises the rule of the
bludgeon on one side and the schoo
house on the other. If the black mar
is ignorant educate him to intelligence
If the white, man is intolerant, edu'
cate him to liberation. Do not drawr
a strict line of color between the two
races. Apply the rale of love ant
justice and you will solve this problem
you cannot do it by wrong and injus.
tice. Have faith, :with charity for al

in politics and Government the rul

solve the Southern problem of tn
future, and achieve great victor,
for the Union and the free rights o
all.
