The Democrats OF Delaware have
made no Advancement IN the moral con.
duct Of carrying on q campaign since
the SUCCESS Of the party was assured
By an appeal to the prsjudices of the
people on the race issue. 1t was tx.
Senator willard Salisbury who when
eonsternAticn had seized the Democratic
heart, who devised the campaign plan
On the issue Of 8 white mans party,
and Il was that issue that saved the
Democratic party from defeat. 1t was
. direct appeal to the prejudices Of
voters, but 1t was . successful appeal
aud that was all that was wanted.
Though It has lost much Of its strength
Il has been proved q successful plea

dice that Senator Bay@rd sought to re-
vive In his recent speech before the
Bsysrd club in the Eighth Ward. The
insincsrity Of Mr.. Baysrd was shown
in the fact that he had just returned
from trip 10 South Carolina where he
made speech at Charleston, without
ever uttsrinE word about the White
Mans party. On the contrary Mr..
Whitley, his companion, spoke rather
approvingly and admired the long pro-
sessions Of Dam ,crsts composed alter
nately Of sections of white and black
people. The reasons for this with

ing different opinions in South Carolina
from what the great Senator snunciates
In Delaware are obvious. In South
Carolina thsls is q majority of blacks
over whites, and If there was any pos
sibility Of fair election being held
Mr.. Bayard'S party would not be in
power. The Democrats there need 3
large portion Of the black vote, and
Mr.. Bayard who Is SO much opposed to
the black race in Delaware had nought
to say against 1t in South Carolina.
In Delaware what is called the De-
mocracy have not needed the black
vote to carry their purposes SO long az
there we're so many timid white people
who could be induced to join the Demo-
srats BY an appeal to their prejudices
On the race issue. Mr.. Bayard under
standing this full well does not fail to
make use Of every means in his power
for the success Of his party, without
much regard to principle. He under.

and stump spouter hOw to blow hot and
how 10 blow cold at the same time. In
South Carolina he looked admiringly
ON black Democratic parades without
tlinching. In Delaware he would hang
= negro without giving him the full
benefit of the law to save his life, and
he even triss 10 stir up race prejudicss
against brother member Of the bar
who In the sworn discharge of his duty
10 q client ceases not to labor in his bs-
half until all lawful expedients are ex-
hausted. In South Carolina he tickles
the ears Of his auditors with honest f.
nances when they had just repudiatsd
sight millions of honest debts. He
oomplimentsd his audience with hay
ing fair elections In the South, when he
knew that no fair elections were held,
when in the very city in which he was
speaking there we're more votes cast al
the last municipal election fer the
Democratic party than there were votes
In the city, though there was an active
canvass. His fair elections rises to the
dignity Of the Mississippi and Alabama
plan Of violence and fraud, and these
are the plans which by his recent Bay
ard club speech he would introduce in
Delaware. Anything to bat thu Re-
