Mr.. Fisher was loudly applauded, and
when quiet was restored, said that he
how twenty years ago
when he was put on the ticket much
against his will, and Sussex and Kent
burdened as they still are with bour.
bonism went against him, how the Be-
pubiicans of Wilmington gave him six
hundred majority, and elected him.
He was glad to see the young blood
that was infused into the party In this
city, and he only wished that he was a
young man again, be would take the
stump and proclaim in every part OF
the State Representation according to
population. There are wrongs that the
Republican party propose to remedy,
aud to remedy in the shortest possible
time. He was opposed to one man In
Kent county being equal to twenty or
thirty men in New Castle county.
Kent county has but about twenty-five
thousand population, yet she is repre-
sented in the Legislature by ten men,
while Wilmington with her fifty thous-
and inhabitants has bnt one represen-
tative in the Legislature Of the State.
This is one OF the wrongs that the Re-
publican party proposes to remedy, ana
if they obtain the power will call a con.
vention as soon as possible, that will
give the people new constitution
based on Justice and equal rights to all.
Another thing that needed reform is
our judiciary system, 1t Is too heavy
and expensive.

Courts, where man was charged With
stealing an armload of wood, and

and to get favorable recommendation
for 1t he gave some to an ole hun
ter named Tommy Peasey. The old
man took it and went on q
cunning expedition, and when in
q few days after he returned, and
was asked by the store keeper about 1t,
he said 1t was very good, but most too
slow, and told how that every duck
and muskrat on Jones creek, knowing
him to be dead shot always fell as
soon as he raised his gun. He said that
he saw a muskrat and raised the gun,
and as usual the animal dropped but
nevertheless he fired.
He then rowed his boat over to the
place, and IS he stopped to pick NJ
his game, the load came flying up and
knocked him end over end. The speak

ocrat party, it always gets about doing
thing after it is accomplished.
The Democratic party never torgets
apything neither does it ever learn any
thing. The Democrats say that they
are in favor of giving the people anew
constitution, but according to the way
they propose to do it, it will be GeA'
