The Republican rally at uswpor
yesterday aud last night was gran'
affair. II was plainly diseernabls upol
entering the village at noon that every
thing was astir and little and big Oh
and young we're preparing for the grsn'
parade OF the evening. Flags ant
chlntse lanterns were being placed II
position and Lam ps and candies Were be
ing arranged in windows to be lit at
nen.pt's notice. The streamer upoI
which we're the names Of Garfield, Ar

high Republican pole; Tapped gaily II
the bl.ez while the rooster on top o.
the Dem ,cratic pole on back crosi
street su leply kept his head in the di

Oi account Of the ooolness OF the
weather the crowd at McParlin's grow,
in the afternoon was not 30 large al
anticipated, but there was quite I
large o1ncourse Of the solid substan
tisl farmers OF Christiana, Mill Cresl
snd New Castle Hundreds present, witt
their wives and children. The Rlmiri
Cornst band Of Newport was presen
and disooursed some exhilarating mu
sic. The meeting was called to ordsl
at 2.45 p. M, by DR.. Lukens when tht
following officers were elected: ..
President-John Pilling.
Vice residents-Joshua MAIis, Jacob
Rubencsms, William r. Finn, Joseph
II. Chambers, James Dennison and
Thomas J. Moore.
Secretaries Vincent g. Finn, Amos
Sharplsss and William Press.
The President introduced the Hon.
John L. Thomas, Of Baltimore, as the
hrst speaker Of the afternoon. Mr..
Thomas regretted that the meeting was
held in the open air, and had he known
ttat he certainly would not have con-
sented to address IL. However he was
here and he would do the best hs could,
and like the Methodist brethren, he
believed much good could be done
wherever two or three we're met to-
gether.
Delaware and Maryland Lie close to-
gether and in all respects were similar.
We knew, he said, what 1t costs to be a
Republican in q border State, and he
was glad to look his brother Rspu bill
cans OF Delaware square in the face and
TO have an honest talk together. The
great Senator Of Maryland, Whyte. and
the great Senator Of Delaware, Bayard,
had recently addressed q Democratic
meeting in New York.
The Maryland Senator tried to show
why the Democracy should be trusted
with the charge Of the government and
the great Delaware Sera.or tried to
m IKE tho people believe that to the
Democratic party belonged the credit
"f the resumption Of specie payments |
and Of sound finances generally. Mr..
Thomas was happy in illustrations.
He pointed to the great manufacture,
ing city OF Wilmington, the metropolis
of the State, which could plainly be seen
nestled amongst the hills from where
the speaker stood, and he said suppose
some tramp was to come along ana find
employment at one Of the great machine
shops Of Wilmington, and then after
being thsre while, ne decamped after
setting frs to the building and burning

years when the man nufaoturer is in the
high road to prosperity, the Same old

work but wants TO be made Q foreman

You may imagine, said Mr.. Thomas,
