ly or indirectly, countenancs the pro-
posed arming or equipping ofthe militia
Of this State. But the treatment Of our
soldiers did not stop with the Governor.
The military bill above referred to, was
laid before the General Assembly for
enactment into statute law. Major
Macallister, and the friends Of the bill,
labored long, earnestly and untiringly
to secure its passage. What was the
result ? The bill was defeated by a
unanimous Democratic Legislature. In
short the Major and his military bill
was democratically snubbed. And
now, in the face Of all this, it is pro-
posed to turn out armed and equipped
to compliment the acknowledged head
and front of the Democratic party in
Delaware. Yes, the very man who
holds in his hand to-day the ba-
ton which carries the Democratic
party when and wherever he
motions Herewith. "Oh consist
ency thou art jewell" 1t is gratifying
to know that the scales have fallen from
the eyes of large number of our citi-
zens within the past two days, and
that they now see the true intent and
meaning Of this so-called non-partizan
complimentary demonstration to Sena-
tor Bayard, for his past political record.
1t certainly would be very convenient
thing for our Democratic friends to have
our wealthy Republicans puttheir hands
in their pockets, and foot the bills of a
great Democratic pew-wow and boone
rang, for Senator Bayard's. political ad-
vancement.
Gentlemen: Your Republican friends
wish to say to you that not only are
tho !" eyes of Delaware on you," but
the eyes Of every loyal man and woman
in this country are looking at you at
this hour and trusting for the preser-
vation of the great Republican party,
and earnestly praying to AL
nightly God that the party which
saved this government from dismsm-
berment during the infamous slave
holders rebellion will long continue to
rule it in the interest of all men therein
without regard 70 race, color or pre-
vious condition. And this is fully de-
monstrated at this hour. The great
tidal wave of pure, unadulterated Re.
publicanism, that rolled up to great
altitude in Maine, surging around the
Atlantic to its confluence with the
Pacific, it swept along its western shore
and inundated California, spreading
out over Ohio and Iowa, then rolling
back its mighty waters thereby gaining
new velocity, it comes again sweeping
from the East onward to the West and
bears upon its heaving pillows glorious
victories for the great, the good and pure
principles Of the Republican party from
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Psnnsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Nebraska, which speaks in unmis-
taxable language, that the great 10y
al North and West, that conquered the
rebel traitors of the South by force and
arms on Southern battle fields, will
never give them power by the ballot,
which they failed to acquire with sword
and bayonets. Then in the name of
High Heaven is there in the loyal city
of Wilmington to-day men calling
themselves Republicans, who in this
hour Of rejoicing over our recent polit.
ical victories, will give aid and comfort
to the enemy. Think well before you
act gentlemen. Your political status in
the future will be judged by your
actions Of the present.
