teution OF finding resting place for the

reclining body of man. Somewhat sur.
prised, that the man took NO notice Of
this, and DESTROYS Of seeing who be was,
he struck q match. To their surprise
they found him dead. From ali an.

The right eye was muck swollen, there

ming.
The Bayard club last evening were
made the happy pOssessoss OF fine
silx flag, who wa, made for them by
th,ir lady tris ,cs. The flag was PRE-
scented at the u, etng OF the club by c.
B. Lore, Il O., and received by Senator
Bayard, wuo returned from his trip "
South Ca olina yesterday morning.
After speaking OF the Gag as the
country's symbol, and dwelling upon
woman's inhusnos in politics the Sena-
tor said
Here in Delaware, l am sorry to soy
We need Q fair struggle. We fnd
arrayed against us elements that threat
en- to sndanger our State institutions.
Let any fair man look at the men com
posing the late conventions OF the Re-
publican and answer me, would he
like to place the interests Of his wife
and little ones in their hands
Look ct that rabble which went
bowling through Wilmington last
Tuesday n sht over an imaginary vic
tory, and tell me that you do not feel
in Delaware that ysu have task to
perform. To day If our credit Is good
1t is due to the administration Of gov
eminent Of laws.
II the laws Of the State cannot pro-
tect the citizens 1t is better for them to
get out Of 1t. Our laws provide that
he who steals or commits an assault,
shall be punished and he who commits
murder shall be hanged. Bat there are
other crimes than murder. liza man will
fight for anything, If anything will turn
the towards heart to strike and the
sluggard's blood to d ams 1t Is an attack
apon the virtue Of woman Of the COM
munity. y
MIR. Bayard went on 10 allude to the
repeal case and charged that the effort
was made to subvert the right Of the
State to defend life and liberty-that
it was q trial 70 strike the first star Of
the Union from the field. This Is the
Issue that is brought sharply upon us
and this sent that. crowd bowling
through Wilmington the other nighs.
Until this Is settled let MS for God
sake stand together and put minor
differences under our feet.
Mr.. Baysrd spoke Of his trip South,
and said when he spoke there every
allusion to the flag brought forth
storms Of applause, showing that the
people were loyal. In closing he
thanked his hearers and urged the
ladies not to let their political interest
lag, and impress upon their husbands
and those about to be their husbands,
the truth that "nan's duty to God
only exceeds his duty to his country"
