A Good work Well Performed.
The Democratic State Convention
met at Dover yesterday and transacted
its business in the most orderly and
harmonious manner. The attendance
was very full, and the delegates were
men of character and standing repre-
senting all parts of the State. And
from each section came notes of en-
tire confidence in the strength and
unanimity of the party, and the GER
tainty of decided victory in the ap-
preaching campaign.
As soon as it was understood that
Charles b. Lore, ESQ.,, was in Dover
as Delegate to the Convention it was
resolved that he should be made the
Chairman. Mr.. Lore's voice has not
been heard in our political campaigns
of late and his entering the arena
again is hailed with delight in all parts
of the State. The moment his name
was mentioned as Chairman, by Dr.
Richards, in organizing the Conven-
ton, the hall resounded with applause
and tokens of appreciation.
In returning his thanks for the
honor conferred in a two or three
minutes speech in which he referred to
the triumphs of the Grand Old Demo-
cratic Party over all her foes in Della
ware, and the fair prospect for success
throughout the Union this fall, he
fairly electrified the audience--evi-
IDENTIFY they recognized the sound of
that voice that had so often led them
to victory, when it was almost worth
q mans life to utter the truth upon
the stump. Evidently Mr.. Lore is the
most popular orator and private citi-
zen in Delaware to-day, and his enter
ing into politics again is one of the
strongest evidences that the Demo
cracy will sweep the State in Novem-
Der. He is impeled to surrender his
valuable time from his immense prac-
tice through a feeling of patriotic duty
to his State and his coun ry.
When he referred to the purpose
for which the Delegates had assembled
and that it was the wish of the Demo
cracy of Delaware to send the name
of her eminent son and statesman to
the Democratic National Convention
to assemble at Cincinnati, as a candi-
date for the Presidency, and that
there was fair prospect that Deia-
ware would be honored by the selec-
tion by that body of THOMAS FRANCIS
BAYARD as the candidate for Presi-
dent, there went up such a unanimous,
sincere and exultant shout as has not
been heard in Dover for many years.
1t was a most fitting thing in the
Democracy to put in the lead such a
young, active, successful and ardent
worker as Mr.. Lore, when they were
about tn put forward their ablest law
yer and most profound statesman for
the Presidency. 1t will bring to the
hustings all the best of our young
people from both parties and array
them side by side in such solid
phalanx for Bayard that Delaware
will be made impregnable for years
afterwards. And this policy is neces-
sary, for in such an event-should
BAYARD be the candidate the struggle
in Delaware to overcome foreign re =
peaters at the polls may be one of the
most desperate that has been wit
messed in the annals of the poll ical
history of our good little Common
wealth.
The committees all discharged their
duties promptly and the President
put the work through as rapidly as
a practiced parliamentarian, and the
Convention might have adjourned
by quarter-past 2 P. NJ, had it not
been for most pleasant and proper
interruption by our old friend DR.. ].
w. Sharpe, who, in impressive and
fervenC language, referred to the har
mony and unanimity with which the
proceedings had been characterized
30 propitious beginning argue
favorably for complete and entire sue
cess hereafter. The proceedings vii
be found reported in full in othe
columns.
