and reform. Their real urpoSe wsa (
reform the honest Democratic govern
ment out and the Harrington, Fishe
and Lola nd government in.
The Democrats had always run tn
government economically, but When th
republicans held the purse-striugs tn
expenditures had been lavish. Tn,
war debt had been incurred by tn,
Democrats to protect the poor man from
tue draft and pay bounties, In order tha
they could stand on equal footing witt
the sons of rich men. The speaker
then denounced the whole Republican
party leaders and was willing to COM
pare Williams of Kent to Lohand Of
Kent and Martin and Salisbury with
the whole trio, while the name of Bay
ard stands beyond reproach, and the
records will compare favorably with any
of the opposite party. The speaker closed
by appealing to honest and decent men
for the sake of their wives and daugh-
ters who were being sacrificed on the
affairs of Republican necessity and big
otry, to 90 to the polls in November
and vote the Democratic ticket.
W. U. HENsEL,
Chairman of the Democratic State Cen
tral Comm ittee of Pennsylvania, was
then introduced and entertained the
audience In an eloquent manner. His
remarks took In b wide range and were
designed to he amusing rather than in
structive. The speaker in opening his
remarks paid high tribute to Senator
Bayard and said that he was as dear 70
the hearts of PennAylvanians as he wss
to Delawareang. He then spoke Uf the
triumphant Democracy in Pennsylva-
MIA and quoted Senator Hoar as bewail
ing the corruption of American politics
referring more particular to the whIs-
key ring, the War and Navy Depart.
ment frauds and the Star Route
Eteal.
In speaking of the Democratic atti.
tude during the War, he said: "When
the notices were put up throughout
the country calling for men to shoulder
their muskets, for thirty or sixty days
or for longer period did, they add q
postscript "No Democrats need ap.
ply2" When the 100, 900 heroes march
ed through the National capital at the
close OF the war did any one point
the finger of scorn at q man In the
ranks and say, That man is a coward?
No but on the other hand they were
all honored alike. The speaker chan
ged his subject and said that the belt
Of the states comprising Connecticut,
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois and Indiana and embra
cling one-half the population twothirds
Of the wealth, three-fourths of the coll
leges and newspapers, ninety pine
Of the oil and tw thirds
Of the manufacturers In that great belt
Of States tonight the Democratic party
were in a majority and surely they
need fear no comparison OF the person
al of their leadership with that of the
opposition.
The speaker spoke of the last nation
al council OF the acknowledged leaders
Of the Republican party when Dorsey
presided, Beecher asked the blessing,
Ingersoll pronounced the benediction,
while Arthur then Vice-P President ad-
led TO the affair by his presence, who
was now, by the grace of Guiteau, Pres
dent of the United States. Dorsey
was quoted as being the executive Off
GER OF the Republican party and when ,
they came toinQuire into the leadership
II the Republican party in Delaware
jhey found that it had It's centre in
Washington, that the leaders here were
ships of the old block, ETC., sent into
Delaware to do little kmissionary
work. (Laughter). He spoke of repre-
and apportlonment In various
states and said that the Republicans in
Delaware would make
one vast district of no conceivable shape
20 include the Democratic voters and
yive all the rest to the Republicans.
He did not think Harrington, Lohand
and Fisher would be for a free ballot |
and fair count. He ridiculed the posi-
lion taken by the Republicans on the
question of civil service reform and
;eform in gep eral, and graphically de
Icribed the late Major Phipps and the
almshouse jobbery in Philadelphia,
which was quite am using to his hear
,ra The speaker closed by paIiug a
;ribute to Anthony Higgins, when he
said that he did not think he was q !
rue Republican as compared with the
actions of the party leaders. NIr.
Hensel then closed amid cheers by
q sweeping Democratic
victory throughout the country in No
Vember.
As the hour was late when Mr.. Lore
.ook the stand, his remarks were very
brief, as he stated that DelawaIep people
we're unaccustomed to late hours and
20 he would not deJain them but would
meet them all again before November
and the speaker retired after warning
;he Democrats to do their whole duty
md that in Novem ber there would be
Waterloo for their opponents.
John O'Byrne, Esq., being present on
jhe stage, loud calls we're made for that
gentleman 70 speak, but he declined by
saying that if he once began he would
10 TX on until an unreasonable hour. Some
one in the audience sang out: 'Go
on" but Mr.. O'Byrne was decided and
stated that he would meet them before
November, and said he had little in
terest in the coming election AZ he did
not want to see half his farm taken
away by taxation and would at the
proper time give some of few reasons
why he supported the party he had al
ways voted for.
The Band then played a lively air
and the meeting adjourned.
