The Republican rally held at the

was in every respect highly success.
full affair. 1t was held under the aus

and attended by many Wilmington.
ians.
About 7 o'clock the members Of the

lows: Seventy-fvs members of the

msnded by Col. s. NJ. Wood; thirty
members Of the Hastings Guards, com

members Of the Garfield Mounted Troop
commanded by Captain Martin; twenty

non Cornet Band marched ahead.
When the Blue Ball was reached the
marchers, tired and dusty, were well
cared for, being kindly received by
Mr.. Robert Banks, and other gen.
tlemsn and supplied with refresh
ments. The Garfield club Of Brandy
wine Hundred, looking han isome in
their new and tasty uniforms and also
on hand q hundred strong. All told,
the crowd numbered something like
one thousand people, and contained
number Democrats.
The meeting was presided over by
George Elliott, Esq, who in calling the
meeting to order made an appropriate
address. He said he had great respect
for rank and nle Of Delaware Democr a.
cy. They were, however, entirely
misguided by unscrupulous leaders who
did not want to lead Alright. For the
Democratic leaders in Delaware he had
but little regard.
Fred Eden Bach, President Of the
Young Mems Republican Club, was the
next speaker. In his address he took
up the key note Of the Democratic can.
vass, as sounded by Senator Bayard
and reiterated by Mr.. Lore in Will
mington, to the effect that the Republi-
can PARTY was one Of force, and believed
in nothing but strong government. In
doing this he took up the records Of the
parties, and adduced many historical
facts showing that the Democratic party
was the advocate Of force and had used
| it on every occasion, while the Repub
llicans had been the party Of peace and
conciliation, and had only resorted to
force wien compelled to do so for the
Nations safety.
From Jacksen's time in 1929 to the
hanging of John Brown in 1859 the
speaker showed the Democratic party
to have been one Of force and arbitrary
measures, and in doing SO he quoted
it's connection with the Modification
Act in 1881, the Wilmot proviso
slavery in California, the Omnibus bill,
the, Fugitive Slave Law and the Le-
Compton Constitution in Kansas. The
rebellion was the climax II the
Democracy's force, but beaten at all
points, they endeavored to beat in re-
construction. Again they failed, and as
unsuccessfully fought the amendments,
The cipher dispatches OF lS76-77 re-
vealed another scheme Of force. The
speaker alluded to the frauds Of the
Delaware Levy Courts, and declared
that the Delaware school laws were in
direct opposition TO the amendments to
the constitution.
On the other hand was the Republi-
can party, the friend Of right and JUS
tice. The speaker showed that all the
treaties and efforts at Cancellation had
been made by Republicans or wings.
The emancipation was one of its great
est acts, and it resorted to force to put
down the war only after the Democracy
had made war unavoidable. This was
dwelt on at great length and the speak
or showed that at the close conciliation
had been the order of the day.
The Republican party had also been
the party of progress and of great
prominence in public affairs.
In 1860 we had 10000 miles of rail.
road built, and in 1870, 10000, great
increase. The speaker in the course
of his remarks referred to the fact of
don. J W. Houston voting for the Will
mot proviso, which placed him fairly
on the platform of Republican prin-
c'ples. Closing he alluded to the four
fundamental principles Of Republican
ism : unity Of nation universal educa-
,i)n liberation of freedom of speech,
&C., and an honest appreciation of la.
Dor.
Col. Macallister followed, making a
ric ging speech, attacking the Southern
D mocraoy and the solid South in his
u. ual vigorous style, and stirring up
the audience to great enthusiasm. The
speech was q most excellent one and
contained many new points aptly
brought out and neatly applied as the
Colonel so well knows how to do.
The demonstration was certainly a
credit to the Brandywine Hundred Re-
publicans, and augurs we'll for a sweep
ing Republican victory in the Fall. The
Wilmington club reached Wilmington
on the return at IL 80 O. clock.
