You all know the Infamous story. Do not
think Mr.. Dick Harrington and Mr.. Fisher
and Mr. Lohand are sincere when they ask
for free ballot and fair count. don u

When the devil is sick the devil saint would
be,
But when the devil is we'll the devil saint is he.
And that is the way with Mr.. Dick Harring-
ton and his friends. Mr.. Dick Harrington
is sincere like Mr.. Jay Hubbell. He was ap-
pointed on the Civil Service Reform Com
mittee In Congress, and as member of the
National Committee he proceeded to levy an
assessment of two per cent on the salary of
every Office holder to keep in power the
party the people want to turn out. Zap
piause. Why | could tell you some things
that would open your eyes, how Hubbell is
extOrting blood money, going down into the
laborers' tin dinner pail and robbing the
orphan Of bread. ! could tell you of how,
for greed and cold .blooded oppression, he is
surpassed by Mr.. Tom Cooper, of Pennsyl-
vania. There was woman IN Philadelphia

Mr.. Dick Harrington and Mr.. Lofland and
Mr. Fisher are in favor of Civil Service Re

DICK HARRINGTON AND ECONOMY.
The platform of the Delaware Republicans
declares them to be in favor of public
economy. This may be, but 1t is not IN the
line Of Republican policy elsewhere. Mr..
Harrington, as l understand him is a
member Of the Republican party and like
all Delaware Republicans, member Of the
Arthur party. Let us see how Mr. Harrng-
toms faction acted in Congress. Under the
lead of Robeson they held the most extra
VACANT reign the country ever knew. Robeson
has been renominated because as he says
'every true Republican is my friend"
fear that my friend Anthony Higgins is not
true Republican. [Applause.] They
want economy In Delaware do theyl have
heard this evening with astonishment that
the cost of running this State was $50, 600
Why In the county where live, which has
$3.50 Republican majority, it cost that much
TO run the poor house and jail. In Penn
sylvania 1t costs more than $4,000 to fold
paste and send off the public documents.
The printing alone costs S200, 900. Great
goodness Dick Harrington had better emf
CRATE. Lofiand will find better field in
Harrisburg. Fisher had better leave the
State and he will swim like an apple
Laughter. l have seen the supplies
bought for Harrisburg and have seen forty
four shaving mugs for senators at $40 q
dozen. ID my county, corkscrews and
Bibles were bought for members of the
Legislature. What they did with the cork
screws Ged forbid me to say. / suppose
they traded of the Bibles for something
more useful to them. There is not a State
10 the Union that can make as good an ex-
hibit As Delaware does. And Mr.. Dick
Harrington talks about economy
Look at some of the municipalities where
men expelled from the Legislature for
bribery are cent back agBIn. Where men
graduate from the penitentiary to the Legis-
lature, Look in Philadelphia at what was
done In that grey stone building on the right
hand side of the railroad as you ride into
Philadelphia. That is the alushouse, and

were preparing 20 steal the cellar from
under the building. On account of these
things the people of Pennsylvania are going
to elect Democratic Governor this year.
Nh. HARRINGTON AND TAXATION.
In Delaware Mr.. Dick Harrington, Mr.
Lofand aud Mr.. Fisher claim that there is
sn oppressive system of taxation because
you hold Il as q safeguard around the ballot
We have The same system in Pennsylvania,
and no honest man thinks 1t oppressive. In
Lancaster on election day hunted a Re-
publican tax collector for hours, but he was
bid 10 the Office of Q political boss issuing
bogus tax receipts to Republicans all day
long. In Lancaster county, where the
Democratic OK was gorcd never heard Mr..
Dick Harrington sympathize with US.
After paying high tribute to Delaware's
goyernment, Mr., Hensel concluded elo-
quently, and three cheers were given for
him and Pennsylvania Democrats.
A brief speech was made by Mr.. Lore and
John o'Byrne, ESQ.,, Of New York, who sat
on the platform, was called upon but owing
to the lateness of the hour he declined to
make a speech. He promised to address
the Democrats at future day.
