Daily Republican., 1882-09-13

ment In vindicating the cause Of Re.
publicanism, nor am here to pronounce
any euloGy upon our candidates.
Albert Curry Is too well.known as o
representative Delaware farmer to need
words from any man Of liberal educa-
hon, broad, though consultative views,
he represents an element in our Stae
of which Delawarians have always been
proud.
Mr.. Hastings is your own son, he is a
fair representative Of that intense ener-
gy and business capacity which have
made your city known not only In
every part of the world, but upon
every railroad in the country, nor have
/ any eulogy upon the Republican
party. As Mr.. Webster proudly said
Of Massac husetts, "There she stands, be-
hold her,"
1t Is the party that has struck the
shackles from four million of human
beings, and demonstrated to the world
the capacity Of free people for a free
government.
HDelaware, blest with situation, eli.
mate. proximity ID markets, sees mag.
ni6oent stream of energy and wealth
pass beyond her to the borders of the
west. Why? Because the Bourbons
have built wall of prejudice which
repels foreign emigration and foreign
capital. The time has come when we
must break down this Chinese wall and
let the people of the east and of the
west cone to develope that which ma
turo has made ready to our hands. /
believe that the building of the Della
ware railroad was not of greater
advantage to the people of this State
than when the electric wires shall flash
through the world that this State is
redeemed from Bourbonism, broken from
the solid South, and has connected her
self, through her State Government,
with the progressive ideas of the North.
ern States.
Then your large plantations, half
cultivated, will be turned into small
farms which will support hundreds of
families who will pour the results of
their industry into the lap of your city
and you In turn will grow.
feel that the united efforts of Re-
publicans will make the 7th Of Novem.
Der the grand ratification of the people
for Curry and Hastings.
Henry G. Conrad, Esq, was then In.
troduced and said: 81 want to an
nounce here at the beginning that am
here to contribute by every means in my
power to the success of the Republican
of Lincoln and Garfield, to do your
duty" Continuing the speaker said
that he knew the candidates for Cover
nor and member of Congress woTl, and
they we're fully competent to fill the po.
sitions to which they had been nomina-
ted. A Republican Governor was elec
ted in 1860 and Republican Congress-
man was elected in 1872 and the Repub.
lican party proposed in 1882 to elect
both Governor and Congressman. He
! said that the time had come for a
change. He fully endorsed the Repub-
lican party.
He said the State Constitution OF fifty
years ago had out-lived itself and there
was o call for reform in the judicial
laws Of the State and reform in the
present assessment laws which were
born in sin. He thought the Demo-
Gratis we're as much behind the age as the
old State Constitution adopted in 1929.
The time has come when the people
should be allowed to look into and in.
quire about the condition Of the banks
in which the farmers are asked to de-
posit their hard earnings; Out Jhis right
is denied them by Democratic Leg
| islature The time has come when
provision should be made for every
child in the state no matter whether
they are black or white, to receive an
education.
The time has come when the law pass
ed by Democratic Legislature, which
says to the poorest class among us, II
you don't support your own schools your
children can 60 without an education,
shall be expunged from our statute
books. Tho time has come when the
present assessment laws, which were
born in sin and conceived in iniquity,
shall forever be swept away. But !
will not dwell upon them, you all know
them. l feel the day is drawing near
when all these reforms shall take place,
and we shall have just and equitable
laws. He said that he was there as a
Republican, and was ready TO devote
all his time and energies to the success
of the party.
Beniah Watson of Dover, was intro
duced and said that he did not know
after what had been said that he could
say much more. We have met here to
ratify the nomination of tho candidates
and he would only appeal to their
honest convictions,
He arraigned the Democratic party
as antagonistic to the best interests O
the State. He charged 1t with imped
ing the action of the general Govern
ment during the war. He dwell
scathingly upon the distractions PLACED
in the way of Republicans getting upor
the assessment list and paid glowing
tribute to Judge Bradford for his decis
ion in reference to the assessment laws
He ridiculed the idea that Mr.. Stock
ley and Mr. Lore represented a party
of progress and urged the Republican
party to put their shoulders to The
wheel and night the battle through.
Fred. Eden Bach upon being called
for, came forward and said 1t is nov
nearly two years since we last came be
fore you to plead the same cause tina
we plead tonight.
He warmly eulcgized the Republican
candidate for Congress, and compared
his loyal record during the dark day
) of the Republic with that of some b.
might name who had to be taught les
sons of loyalty by the rabble in tn
street. He spoke Of the business energ!
an1 activity Of the State and of the tet
ters placed upon her progress by tn
Democratic party. He referred to tn
arch rebel who has been representa-
) this State in Congress for the last fou
years. He charged that the whole gov

to preserve the Democratic power
! Every Democratic office-holder in thi
! State, from the Governor down, bu
who has during his term of office, com
mitted some outrage to advance the In
