/ BsioIe 8 o'clock the house was crowd
ed, with even standing room at a
premium. The City Cornet Band en-

Mr.. Bay ard slowly arose aud advanced
TO the front of the stage, while the

few minutes in a burst of unrestraineC
enthusiasm. The applause resoundeC
from all parts of lie house, aud the
cheers were loud and long continued.
Quiet being restored, Mr.. Bayart
said:
The question for each one among III
is si.aply made and can be simpl.
answered. 1t is how that vote whlcl
The laws of the land and Of this State o
| Delaware have given Us shall be cast OF
the second day of November next.
| can be cast just as It's owner desires
Ne man, IL the owner of that vote b.
true 10 himself, can say how the vote o
he other man shall be cast. Applause.
This Is q duty that belongs To each on
of us. L. Is not merely duty, but it 4
| A great privilege. 1t is either the dig
nitied act of free man, or disgraceiu
release of a right by a coward and
knave. No one can step between MAJ
, aud his duty.
IhAye heard that in this city attempt
have been made by employers to contIo
! | The votes of their wOrkinglnen otherwis
I han by justifiable means. BY justItia
| ole means | mean the forces OF argu
ment, entreaLy, persuAsion-just ss l al
aere tonight to try to persuade you, IN
fellow citizens, that it is your duty, q
u we'll as your right, to vote for the Dem
b | cratic nominees.
IL But when power goes beyond thi
Il point. and threatens the laboring mar
/, then it is changed, and the America
u citizens are subjected to the rule OF
II tyrant. who is not ruler over q mar
out of slave. But l believe there
too much intelligence among tho worl
ingmen of this city to permit such
domination of their dearest rights. a
was written by the greatest epic poei
i that ever lived
~ "Whatever day makes man slave
/ Takes halt his worth away"
ID Mr., Bayard next briefly paid a hig
r commitment to Asa Parker, who's
i memory he had Joined with the peop
ei of Lehigh county in honoring the da
before. Though one of Pennsylvania
poorest sons, by industry and trl
manhood he became one of the richie
of her capitalists, but his capital we
back to benefit those from whom
IT, snrune. and teach them the nobill
nu Of his example. Never was there
he time when Asa Parker relinquisht
n his conscience at the bidding OF anot
lis er, or he never would have risen
nv life as he did. [Applause.]
