Democratic official, and there never will be |
while YOU have such a class of men In |
office. do not say this will not be the case |
under Republican rlle, but you must judge |
the party by It's actions elsewhere. We
have candidates In whom the utmost conf |
dence can be reposed As to our candidate
for Governor, let me say word of Charles
G. Stockley. tApplause.] In intellect he
stands high, In business he is a leader. He
was sent to the Senate in 1873, and became
the Speaker of that body and while there
his acts speak louder than aught can say
| for him. will only say, that taking the
Governors from Ross to Hall, he can only
reflect credit and honor upon that great
| galaxy of noble names
In the case of Mr.. Lore, what need is there
/ for me to say anythingl [Applause.] He
stands among the highest In wilmington.
| His talent and industry have hput him among
the leaders of the bar. lie certainly is able
| to represent Delaware In the lower house of
| Congress with credit to the State and to the
able minds who have preceded him. In
| 1850 gentleman, who had been for long
/ tune clerk In the Secretary of States Office
in Washington, then 80 years old, told me
that though Pennsylvania by birth,
| one of the proudest things TO him was
that Delaware had list of Senators
not equalled by any other in the Union. If
you think we have lost anything since that
| time refer you to the elder Bayard and the
younger Bayard. [Applausel And to the
elder SALISBURY and the younger Salisbury.
TAppause. Our Senators have kept Della
wares flag to the fore in the Senate. have
said our old time delegation equalled the
Senators of any other State and so does our
delegation of to-day. [Applause. We
have tonight to ratify something else than
the State and county ticket. There is some
thing else with which we have to deal.
saw on this point that If the Democratic
county ticket is elected 1t will be in favor
of the return of Eli Salisbury to the
United States Senate. Applause and
cheers believe this will add strength to
the ticket. In conclusion all | have to say
is that believe the New Castle Democrats
will finally ratify on November z, when we
send Charles G. Stockley to Dover-not to
the Executive Mansion, wish we had one
Charles b. Lore to Congress and Eli
Salisbury to the Senate of the United States
Applause.
SENATOR sAULsBuRY's SPEECH.
Senator Eli Salisbury was then introduced.
His reception was enthusiastic. AS he
| stepped forward loud cheers broke fourth
and he could not speak for several minutes.
He said
Mr.. President and FelloaC Citizens ! come

Although defeated we would renew TN
