SENATOR BAYARD
was introduced amid loud and contiu
ued applause. He prefaced his re
marks by saying, that as he understood
1t, they had met together in an entire
unofficial way to got counsel in our pO-
ltiCal duties. Delaware, he said, GOV
efs but small territory and her gov
ernment is simple, but it is just as dea
and valuable to US, as well as every
Thing that touches her welfare, az h
any other class Of man. Here is oul
nome, ,Ourihterests are concentrated her
and now how shall we deal by them.
In whose hands shall we trust them
what better laws do wei need ? vi
trae we have but a small territory, bu
1t has as large and hOnored 3 history Il
any State in the Union. He then spOk
ol The material interests Of the State
1ae condition of the finances and th
Slale,s credit. Is there a Blot on til
states record? 1t is a simple, bu
true, fact that there is not in all thl
0fOad Union State with u lower de b
Of smaller tax rate than Delaware
winch Is mainly due to the intelligenC
anO good sense of its citizens. Tn
power OF redeeming the debO is kept i
sEe tt hal0s of the State, which is some
