John g. Baker, President Of the club
presided and called tha meeting to or
!. der. He said that the Gar
field and Arthur campaign club wa
organized for purpose and although
they had not been seen on the stree
with banner and flag, 1t had operated
as silent and powerful agency In
promoting the success of the Republi
can party. He stated that they had
met to have an Informal jolli6catior
meeting, and the audience could sall
upon whom they saw proper to make
brief speeches. He referred 10 the ly.
ing report that was on the street that
Hancock had carried New York by
|, 900 majority, and said he had tsls-
! graphed to New YORK TO get the truth
Of the matter, and he expected an an

I'd lHe then introduced Ex-City Treas
J urer Francis Vincent who made o brisi
speech Of congratulation. He gave a
. history OF the rise and progress Of the
Republican party in Delaware and
took onsiderable pride In being one Of
the 303 original Fremont voters in
1856. He prophecied q glorious future
for the Republican party. The AL
mighty, he said, watched the affairs
Iof nations as we'll as men, and the
sins Of the one have to be atoned for
just as those Of the other. The sin
Of our nation had been slavery, and
tor 1t We had paid the price OF human
lives. He concluded by saying Mr..
Garfield had been accused OF being a
member of the Golden Club. Mr.Vin-
oentwas member of the Golden club
and go were many other good tariff
men.
:. Ex-Mayor Valentine was the next
speaker and grew eloquent as he warm
ed up with relation Of the glorious re
suits Of the war to save the Union.
Ee said the Republicans had been
fighting over again the battles Of 1860
to 1865, and routed the same foe. They
had been successful ana would continue
to be so as long as that foe Haunted its
bloody flag. He eprophesied good times
for the workingmen.
Daniel p. Hamilton on coming on the
stage was brought to the front and
started of on speech whether he want |
ed to make one or not MIR. Hamilton
told theintersst he felt In the campaign |
and the part he took for the success
OF the party. He started by relating
an anecdote Of two ships as follows:
Shortly after slavery, slavery was two
ships set out from England, one with
law on board and the other justice,
The ship containing justice sank, and
SO the colored people had always had
plenty Of law in this country, but very
little justice. The Republican party
at this election tried 10 change this
condition of things, and II they stood
together and worked, he could see no
reason why they shouldn't in the next
two years make clean sweep.
Mr.. Hamilton's speech was cut short
by the announcement by the President
that a telegram from Philadelphia
said the Evening telegraph announced
New York is Republican by at least
20. 900 majority. After enthusiastic
cheers, Mr.. Fl. F. Pickels led the as
semblags in singing Rally Round the
Flag" Three cheers were then given
for the grand old flag. Mr.. Pickela in
response to clamorous calls said he felt
to happy to talk, he wanted u throw of
the efervescence;he Iejo ced IN the sue
cess Of the Republicans from nation.
al standpoint, but he reioioed still more
in the success in Wilmington. He
came to Wilmington more than quar-
ter Of century ago, and had seen it
grow and prosper: He wanted now to
see here Government of the people,
for the people and by the people. He
looked upon this as the entering wedge
which was to bring about the grand re-
suit of placing old Delaware with the
apti.slsvery States Of the North. Hel
agreed with General Grant that the in.
terests Of the South we're bound up in
the success of the Republican party,
and 80 were the interests OF Kent and
Sussex counties. He had been think
ing little while before OF the reason oil
their success, and had thought how it
was due largely to the nsmss which had
appeared upon the Republican ticket.
1t was ticket that they might we'll be
proud OF.
At the conclusion OF his remarks he
led the audience in singing columbia,
the gem of the ocean," which was given
with great enthusiasm.
Ben amin Nields, ESQ.,, was then in
troduced and said How grand 1t is
to stand in the land Of the redeemed
For how many years lave the State and
party been ruled by fraud, and now how
pleasant 1t is to look upon Mr.. Belts
and Mr.. Fsbiger and to say: 'Our men
our men!" How good to have men in
the Levy Court and on our juries Why
| am 80 happy i want to shout as our
Methodist friends do. (He's Quaker,
interrupted Mr.. Pickels, or he'd say
hallelujab.) | don'ttknow how tho
Democrats and Mr.. Hancock feel, but
know how feel. What Is there that
the American people cannot do when
aroused ? He told q story Of a pet
parrot and monkey, which were left in
a room together while their master went
out to spend the day. When he re.
turned he found that the monkey had
pulled out all the parrots feathers,
and the parrot greeted him with,
"We've had h of time to-day"
So it was with the Democrats. They've
had h Of time, and they've not a
tail feather left.
