Republican party intend to get control
of the State by buying votes In Sussex
and tonight they have their canvass
ers busy at work in that county. Thes'
oanvassers have three poll lists, one is
marked Republican, second Demo
crat and the other doubtful, and oppo
site 10 the names on this list is marked
the amount in dollars and cents they
are doubtful. He appealed to his hear
ers not to support men who would So
cure their election by such means, and
said that in the eye of the law, the man
that received the stolen goods was
as bad as the man who stole them
When Stockley is elected he will not bt
the Governor of any one man, but hC
will be the Governor Of the State.
Then turning to Mr.. Lore he said
"Mr. Lore congratulate you on your
nomination, and 1t will be q pleasure
to me to introduce you to the next Con-
gress."
He said that he knew, and the peo
pie of Delaware knew, that the integri.
ty and honor of this state would be safe
in the hands of Charles B. Lore.
James l., Woloott, Secretary ofState
followed, and said that If there is any
advantage in ratification meetings the
Republicans had the benefit of it, as
they had held two ratification meetings
already. The convention that assem-
bled at Dover was only called to ratify
the nomination that had already been
made in the room Of hotel in the City
of Wilmington. What a spectacle II

bargain to secure his nomination.
This is no idle Campaigl indee d, the

the Democratic party done that the con

be withdrawn. ! answer nothing has
been done and the records show it..
When the republican party talk about
Reform they utter an untruth and they
know it. The people who advocate
revolution should guarantee the truth
of what they say. The smallest
amount of the reformation will be fraud

reform. Look at the District of Colum.

such state that the Congress of the
United States had to interfere, are now
before you and were here the other
night talking about reform.
| Another thought occurred to him in
reference to the mixed schools as they
were advocated from this platform the
other night. Now i'll had but one
prayer to make would pray that they
might be stopped from making the ten.
der hearts of little children the point
upon which they can turn their ragged
edge into power. The Republicans
have no sympathies with the interests
of this State and keeping this in mind
it becomes the duty OF every citizen to
contribute all in his power to the sue.
cess of the Democratic party.
Chas. b. Lore was called for and said
see before me at least 1900 citizens OF
Delaware, either by birth or adoption,
and l know that to them the honor OF
their little State is as dear as the apple
of their eye. By the Republican press
and speakers we would he made believe
that our people are not enlightened.
Now let me tell you that he had
worked in the ranks of the party from
one end of the state to the other and
he had always found the farmers as
intelligent, the mechanics as skil'fu ,
the women as virtuous, the children as
pure and the honor OF the State held as
high as that of any other. Other States
might have broader expanses of terri
tory and greater resources, but none a
people purer, nobler or better than the
people of Delaware. Such she is at
the present and in the past her repre-
sentatives in the Continental Congress
were the peers of the nobleSt and
brightest in the land. After referep CO
to the Bedfords, the Ridgeleys, the
Bayards and the Saulsburys, he said,
that Delaware has been represented by
men of eloqueLCe who could speak
words that would burn into the hearts
of the people. No representative Of
Delaware had ever come back to the
State smirched with crime or with pub
lie money clinging to his skirts.
He asked If the men whom the Re
publicans sent came back thus pure
and supposed the case of Bayard and
Salisbury being left at home and a Lot
land or q Watson sent in their places,
and then asked the audience if they
would feel as safe ,as now. Mr.. Lore
said he was only speaking of what
might happen if the lightning should
strike the Republican party and knock
it out of its total Generalization. The
Democratic party is: grandly organized
in the whole three counties and victory
must perch upon her banners. He be-.
lIeved i'll equal and exact justice to all
men.
He said that he would esteem it a
high honor to tread the same halls that
have been trodden by the illustrious re-
presentatives of this State and that he
went to Congress at the behest of
his fellow citizens he would do his
duty according to their will and in ac-
cordance with the best interests of the
State II he could do this he would con-
slider that his life's work had been we'll
and nobly done.
Mr.. Lore was loudly applauded and
as he took his seat was presented with
large and handsome bouquet. AttOr.
ney- General Gray delivered brief but
ringing speech, saying that the Demo-
cratic party was the party of Delaware;
the party of her poor men; the party of
her soil. The republican party offers
no protection to the wife of an honest
laboring man when the party behests
require hor sacrihce. He accepted the
definition of the Bourbon party as a
party that never learned anything or
forgot anything, and said the Demo-
cratic party had never learned that les.
son of corruption which should bring
blush of shame.
He eulogized Messrs. stockley, Lore
Bates and Cooch pronOuncing them
clean handed Democrats and challenged
inspection. After cheers for the can IL
dates had been given at the call of Mr..
Gray he read an announcement that the
Democratic committee had secured In
stitute Hall for the campaign and that
it would be opened on Tuesday night.
Hon. Thomas N. Williams was then
introduced. He did not claim he said
