contradiction. MIR. Higgins read the
records of the Court in the Given case,
and the bill of exceptions filed by his
counsel, which showed that Msssrs.
Bayard, Whitelsy and Gray denied the
right of that Court TO interfere with the
collectors, no matter what they did.
That was the Democratic doctrine, that
allo we'd eleven or twelve collectors in
this county to keep the Republicans
from nominating any officers except
for the Legislature.
The speaker reviewed the arguments
before Judge Bradford in the United
States Court in reference TO the assess
ment laws. Mr.. Gray and Mr.. Bates
contended that an assessment list was
only list of those who should pay q
tax, which he had contended that 1t WAS
a list or registration of those entitled to
vote. Neither will it do for the Demo-
crats to ask to be forgiven for their ac-
tions In the past in reference to repre-
sentation according TO population. Mr..
Bayard tal said that he had urged
increased representation when Kent
and Sussex were Whig, and New Cas-
tie Democratic, hut the speaker had
urged for increased representation when
Kent and Sussex were Democratic.
The only reason the Democrats are in
favor Of increased representation at
present, was because New Castle coun-
ty went Republican two years ago;that
has forced them to it and the best way
to secure 1t now is to repeat the reme-
dial dose.
Mr.. Higgins was followed by George
Elliott, who opened his remarks by
saying he had ceme as a voter of
Brandywine hundred, to have q plain
talk with the voters of the Eighth ward,
because he IS q citizen of Wilmington
felt an interest in their welfare
He spoke of how under a protective
tariff, 30 many within the sound Of his
voice were enabled to own their own
homes, and he bad no doubt many of
them were happier in their little two
story four room houses surrounded by
their families, than some of those who
live in their fifty thousand dollar man.
sionS.
Mr.. Elliott said that all this had
been brought about by the policy of the
Republican party, that protected the
American workiDgmen. The speaker
then spoke of the condition of things in
European countries where free trade
exists, and asked how 1t was, if free
trade is Of 80 much advantage to a peo.
pie that 30 many million Of working
people came 10 this country with its
high tariff every year? and they not
only come here, but they stay here, and
are prosperous and in short time own
their own houses.
Mr.. Dean spoke last night and
changed from his old topic the Niger,
to wool, and the speaker hoped that
none of the worktngmen in the Eighth
ward had allowed him to pull the wool
over their eyes. He then reviewed Mr..
Deans arguments in favor of free trade
and showed their @consistencis. Mr..
Dean had spoken about a corset monop
oily up in Connecticut, but neglected
to say anything about certain match
monopoly right herein Wilmington
that Senator Bayard keeps under his
protecting wing.
In conclusion he urged his hearers to
vote for Mr.. Hastings, rs by sending
him to Congress they would be SURF
of having a man there that would ad'
vocate their interests, and see, that as
far as he could prevent it, nothing
should be done in Washington, that
would interfere with the interests Of
workingmen of Wilmington.
When he closed NJ. j. B. Sheppy
was introduced, and said that although
he was ret q public speaker he would
almost think that with the issues Of thu
present campaign The dead would rise
and speak.
There has been SO much calumuy and
slander by the Democrats during THU
campaign, that he wondered that the
spirit of Andrew Jackson did not get
out of his grave, and say by the eterna
this must cease. You have heard @
great deal about tho ship New Consti'
tuition, and Mr.. Gray who seems tt
have particular antipithy to that ship
has told you that 1t was stranded in thu
sands of Sussex, well filled with ben
zine inside and out, but he would llk'
Mr., Gray to inform him what chance
benziue would stand among the Demo
Gratis of Sussex county. The Republt
cans are determined to win in this con
test, and it is net the Democratic dol
that we are after; it is the flea. Th
Democrats promise, II continued IL
power, to give US the reforms we neet
and demand, but in his opinion Bob In
gersoll was about as suitable to teach
i Presbyterian Sunday School as tn
Democratic party were to inaugurat'
reforms of any kind; nothing OF tn
kind can b. expected from them; the!
were too much like one of their leaders
Uncle Eli, fossiles of past age l
YOU want reforms you must look TO TN
Republican party for them that Is TN
party that struck the shackeIs IRON
four millions of human beings and In
terested them with the rights OF citizen
shin. L.
You need not expect anything from
Uncle Eli, to be sure he ID pledgeu
work for the interests Of the people, bu
with him the people conelst OF th'
Salisbury family.
Mr.. Sheppy continued at some length
and made several telling hits agalns
tho Democrats that convulsed his audi
ercs with laughter, and were Loudly
applauded. He also gave numoer u
convincing arguments why the work,
/ ippmap, no matter what might be hi
cotor or his nationality, should vott
4 the Republican ticket. Wheu he closec
the president DECLARED the meeting ad-
journed.
