The Gazette thinks political meetings are
more for the speakers than the people as
per the following announcement: Demo.
cratic meetings here now are entirely
superhuous; but there are always some who
themselves, and it may possibly do no harm
to crafty them"
Senator Bayard addressed a mass meet.
ing of the democracy of Sussex county on
Thursday last, his speech being devoted
mainly to plain, lucid demonstration of
the functions of money in its relation to
credit. He said that cheap money is the
result of good credit, and that credit is
based upon confidence in tho honesty of
intention and ability of those making
pledges to redeem them, and demonstrated
that irredeemable paper money fosters
speculation and creates fictitious valua-
ton, under which men aye deceived into
making promises that they cannot fulfill.
THE QUESTION OF VoTING.-The RepuJE-
can wants the Republicans of New Castle
county to vote at the ensuing election and the
Gazette, Democratic, doesn't, and copies from
the Sentinel approvingly the advice it gives
to the voters of this county as follows:
Do not be deceived! There is not, nor
,oW there be any Republican ticket in the
field. The election will 60 by default. Let
the poor men of both sides keep their
money in their pockets. There is no use
to pay your poll-tax when there is no con-
test"
ave trust that no Republican in this
county will consent to act as Judge, Clerk
or other officer at the coming election.
Stay at home; your absense from the polls
will be a mighty protest against fraud, ex'
travagance and Ring Rule"
THE GREENBACK TICKET.-The Delaware
Gazette which did its best to create Green.
back sentiment but was opposed to putting q
ticket in the field in opposition to the
Democratic has the following in reference
to the action of the convention:
"The Greenbackers have at last made a
ticket in Delaware. These gentlemen, we
fear, are all misled but as they do not
seem to have very great deal of influence
we do not fear that they will be able tc
mislead many of our citizens. They will
form nucleus for good many dissatisfied
people to rally around, most of whom are
Republicans. Very few Of the original
Greenbackers in this city have right tc
vote-the chief part of them being mem
bers of the Liberal League, free-thinkers
who are never satisfied with anything done il
| christian community by people who
feared God and were able to defy Satan
GREENBAoKIsM IN SUssEx.-The Milford
| Chronicle gives the following explanation o
the "greenback craze" in Sussex county:
"There is an undercurrent of politica
feeling in Sussex favorable to the Nationa
party. This feeling, we believe, has, in {
great measure, been generated by the cir
culation of such papers as the Ad0ocate
Shupe's greenback organ. The AdvOcat
has been circulated far and wide, and as
natural consequence some Of the unsophis
ticated have imbibed the false fallaciou
doctrines of the green hackers"
The Milford Ne,0S says that without an.
combined understanding or effort, and will
tickets in only three hundreds they polle'
some 400 votes. With a complete AM
harmonious effort all over the county, tn
same paper thinks that there is no doub
but that they can make it eight hundred
and this combined with the Republica
vote, which arrangement the NeOs woul
like to effect if it could, carries the count
without any doubt.
