Not more than two hundred persons
attended the German Democratic meet
ing at Institute Hall, last evening.
John Grine1 was elected president of
the meeting, aud large number of vice
presidents and secretaries occupied
seats on the platform. Louis Schade,
the editor of the Washington Sentinel
and the orator of the evening was in-
troduced by John K. Bradford, Esq,
in short speech. The main gist Of Mr..
Schade's speec was directed against
the temper ance movement and the Re
publican party, who had given aid to
the passage of local option laws which
would deprive the German people Of
one of their liberties. The speaker
said that he was glad there were enough
men In Ohio to assert their manhood
and the Germans had won q glorious
victory.
After dwelling at length on various
topics, the speaker warned the Germans
against voting the Republican ticket
for fear of their rights being taken
away, but advised them to vote the
Democratic ticket because that party
had defended foreigners from the at
tacks of the Know-Nothing party and
now stood up between them and those
who assailed their personal liberties.
The speaker then referred to Mr.. Har"
rington's career and said be had come
here for the express purpose of using
| hi tN,A Inn tn
elected to the United States Senate and
after speaking at considerable length in
this strain the speaker took his seat
amid applause.

Fl. Bates, ESQ, being called upon made
short addresses, the former denouncing
the appointment of United States dep.
uty marshalB on election day and warn
ed his hearers against intimidation on
Tuesday next. After both gentle
men had spoken q few minutes the
meeting adjourned.
7 OPEN AIR MEETING.
A Democratic meeting was held last
evening at Fourth and Monroe streets,
which was presided over by John 7
Dickey and attended byseveral hundred
persons. Many who came to hear Ex.
Congressman Biggs speak were disap.
pointed as he failed to put in an appear
ance. Hon. William G. Whiteley was
then introduced to the audience and
proceeded at once to defend the assess
ment laws, claiming that it was easier
to vote In Delaware than in PennsylvA'
mia, New York or Rhode Island. The
majority ofthose who complain of these
laws, he said, were those who had late
ly taken up their residence in this State
For their benefit he said the walking
was good as far as Linwood, which
would lead them beyond the State line
and 1t only cost sixty cents to get tc
Philadelphia,
These remarks were greeted with ap
plause and laughter, after which the
speaker spoke of General Woodford's
letter 10 John O'Byrne, Esq, charac-
terizing it as nonsense, and closed the
subject OF the assessment laws by say
ing that those of Delaware were as fail
as any IN the Union. The speaker theI
referred to the tariff question by saying
that high tari Fl took money out of the
pockets of the working man and put II
in his employers, and that If the higt
tsrlff continued wages would decrease
but if the Democratic party were only
given a chance to lower the tariff the
wages would most assuredly advance
The speaker said he was in favor of re
ducing the tariff 10 the low eSt rate tina
would raise revenue sufficient 10 ruI
, government. Thespeakers then quotet
nun ber of figures to substantiate hi
argument and closed by urging hi
hearers not to heed the Republican
watchers, deputy sheriffs, police ant
, United States Marshals on election day
Tut vote their sentiments without fear
The next speaker introduced wa
Hon. Z. l.. Martin, who, after few
preliminary remSrks, said that tn
, votes of the laboring men kept tn
Democratic party In power for seventy
. five years and brought it back int
power again after fifteen years of Re
a publican misrule. He argued that tn
= Democratic party was the friend of tn
laboring man and that its distinctly
feature was cheap government anu low
duties. He attributed the panic of187
= to Republican extravaganza and tina
p prosperity had been restored by Demo
\ cratic retrencbment and economy.
Mr.. Martin quoted Mr.. Hastings a
saying "Let Europe have the trade O
|. the world if we have the monopoly Q
A the home Market" and pronounced
a ridiculously absurd, by saying that tn
a prices of corn, beef, etc, were regulates
' by the prices abroad. He then pre-
ceeded to denounce the wretChed Repu
7 lican party and while dwelling on thi
9 subject, the attention of the crowd wa
a drawn to a free fight which was In
augurated close by, and for time b
had but few attentive listeners, an
closed his remarks by denouncing tn
Republican party and its leaders
, considerable length.
