In speaking of Civil Service Reform
10 the speaker expressed very stron,
o views. He spoke of his visit to thi
% city two years ago, when he laboreC
: with his constituents to lift that mar
y into office who is now still In death. A
~ man of profound convictions In the
! handling of public questions. He then
. !. spoke of how, when he (Garfield) was
q made President, had done what every
u one of us would have done, used the
70 great offices to reward political service.
!, You know what the Senate Is. 1t is one
: = Of the grandest bodies in the country,
e for In them Is vested the power OF
National Administration and to confirm
all the nominations of the President,
But In that Senate, some OF these
Senators resigned because the President
, put men in office for the purpose of
paying his own debts, wheu they
, wanted to put men in to pay their
debts He then pointed out how the

, field, and he appealed 10 tho men Of
Delaware In the memory Of what this
thing had been, to rise up and trample
. out this system, for the purpose Of po.
littoal patronage. Let both parties
stand together and redeem this country
from the Doli tics which has brought
this terrible evil aud wrought this ter
rible wrong. Applause. He thOn
asked them which party they dared to
trust with the issues Of the near future
and to lift the government up to free
and honest one and that 1t might be as
pure and white in its politics as it was
In its liberty and its name. The future
is orowding rapidly upon us. The old
and solid South is giving way. From
far Florida there we're tidings that
without dispute the Republicans would
carry her northern counties.
West Virginia had spoken, and from
Texas mutterings were heard. Here
in Delaware the solid South yields aud
breaks beneath Jour feet Applause. I

cannot forget, let us forgive the past |
and welcome every man, whether he |
waved the red or blue, and 20 forward
with the object in view OF making this
purer and more glorious country. Hell
spoke of the Republican party being
the most glorious and most resolute
| that ever stepped on free soil. In
speaking OF the two great Republican |
States north Of US as being weakened
by long success, and torn by dividing
factions, he said that while they were
wAvering there came the young men
OF the new South to take their places.
Let Delaware-where quarrels. we're for.
gotten and old rivalries put aside-let
Delaware lead this column and teach
New York and Pennsylvania how to
win common battle against common
foe, by standing together for the better
and purer purposes of the new Repub-
licap party. He congratulated them
in advance on the victory he believed
they would gain and took his seat amid
loud applause for Harrington" and
"Higgius."
