heOrganfzattOn OF the Democratic As
ISOLATION of wilmington.
Saturday night a large number of
Democrats met in the new headquar,
tiers of the Democracy, second story of
the McClary builing, No. 6057 Market
street. for the purpose of recognizing
the Democratic Association of Wilms
ington.
At o'clock the meeting was called
to order by Hon. Thos. F. Bayard,
President of the Association of 1874.
In his opening remarks Mr.. Bayard
stated that the object of the meeting
was to renew the form and substance
of the last Democratic Association; to
form an organization, which, while it
would not interfere with the duties
|andloperations of cooperating Demo-
cratic clubs. would form a common
ground on which all Democrats could
meet for the purpose of furthering the
success of the party.
Mr., Bayard then proceeded to make
a short and interesting address to the
meeting. He deprecated the apparent
indifference which existed throughout
| the country at the gave dangers which
threaten the existence of our GoverH-
ment-an Indifference which is not
only expressed by the wealthier clas.
ses, but by the laboring men, whose
| interest in good government is equal
with that of statesmen or of the Pre-.
sident himself.
The speaker next briefly referred
the history of our Government; to the
dishonesty and corruption of the past
/ administration, and to the great neCes-
sity tor an entire change at the ap-
preaching election.
Referring to our local politics, he
expressed himself as of the opinion
that the city election had virtually
been allowed to go by default, and that
as result of the victory the WORT
elements Of the Republican party
were again coming to the front. A
strong, hearty, vigorous canvass on the
part of our party will bring US out
safe. and we must go to work at once
and organize for this purpose.
| Mr.. Bayard then announced the
