lie came here to speak OF the political ques-
tions of the day freely and frankly. We
can congratulate Mr. Monaghan, the
Democratic war horse of Pennsylvania,
[applausel on the outlook in his State and
can give him the assurance that the Demo
cratic ticket will sweep the State
of Delaware, [applause] for there
Is no such word as 1ail for the
true Democracy in this campaign. The
Republicans themselves cannot meet their
bosses, and the machine and the Dover
Ring, which was driven from Washington
will not get into power, The State will be
in the hands OF safe and true men. Think
of a leader to take control of this State who
is charged with the most infamous of
crimes and against whom the indictment
still stands. Next Tuesday I hope New
Castle, the banner Democratic hundred,
will turn in good report (Cries OF we
wil.) The success OF the Democratic party
is assured. 49,,
Hon. Robert j. Monaghan, of West
Chester, Penna., was then introduced. In
opcuing he made an eloquent allusion to
William Penn, who first landed in Delaware
and then In Pennsylvania, and through
whose acts Delaware and Pennsylvania were
| intimately connected. The Democratic party
has followed William Penn's advice upon
| good government, and it has lived to it
closely.
lie contrasted the record of the Republi-
can party with that of the Democratic party,
and said the Republican bosses wanted to
| get into power to fill their pockets and leave
| the State in debt Ohio, he said, had been
| redeemed from these plunderers. New
York and Pennsylvania will respond TO her
| on next Tuesday. The day of Judgment has
come for the Republican party. Applause
| The State of Pennsylvania, for the first time
| In twenty years, will go Democratic, and
will give 10000 majority. Mr.. Monaghan
went into national issues in detail, and
spoke with great eloQuence, creating much
| enthusiasm.
Major B. T. Blggs was then introduced
| and made a speech which created much
laughter and applause. He had come not
to call the righteous but sinners to repent
| ance. Now is the time to seek Democratic
salvation; the way is open for you. The
Republican party, he charged, wanted to
get into power to get into the
treasury. The Republicans could not
get into power, and the State
would give a larger majority than ever be-
fore, and New Castle will give an increased
majority. He rideuled the "New Constittl-
tion;n take the negroes out of the Republi-
can party and they have not got a corporal 6
guard. In view of the fact that
negroes were voted by the custom
house officials, etc., like slaves he questioned
| whether they exercised freeman's right.
He warned his hearers against mixed
schools and said they would surely come as
IN all other Republican states IL the Dover
Ring got into power. Abiding to the
attempt to purchase voters the speaker said
| the Republicans could not buy Della
ware and could not buy the votes OF
Dclewareaps, The Democratic candidates
he said, were the men with good principles,
like A. b. Cooper, Purnal j. Lynch and G.
c. Stockley. He predicted glorious victory
for the Democratic party.
The meeting adjourned ut 1890 O'Clock.

The Democrats OF Stanton held rousinp
meeting last night, and the enthusiasm wat
intense. DR.. Swithin Chandler presided
and music was furnished by the band.
George II. Bates, Esq, was the first
speaker and entertained his hearers with a
clear, concise, and truthful view of the sit
uations He said We were now at the close
of an exciting campaign, the real import o1
which was, whether the people should main.
tain in its present position the party of faith
honesty and capacity, or to give over the
reins of the State government to the Repub
licans and yield to them because of thell
senseless and causcless cry for change, as
q change was in no way needed.
