Inc IOuuR Mtu Oiub
rousing rally in the Opera House last
The house was crowded and the stage was
handsomely decorated. Hanging shove It
In giant letters of evergreen were the words
''Stockiey and Lore" On the stage sat
many prominent people and the audience
was largely composed Of the young Demo-
cratic voters Of Wilmington,
John ]. Wood called the meeting to order,
and on his motion Harry Emmons, Esq.,
was made chairman, and q great many
young men vice presidents and secretaries.
Mr.. Emmons in assuming the chair In we'll
chosen and earnest words gave thanks
for the honor, and spoke Of the great
issues involved in this campaign. He
then introduced James L. Wolcott,
Secretary Of State, who spoke
for about 20 minutes with much earnest
ness. He discussed State issues In q general
way, speaking of the high credit Of Della
ware at home and abroad and saying that
this showed that her interests were ip good
hands. The men who wanted TO govern her
were those who bad shown themselves 70
be utterly unworthy of confidence. Their
leader had asked not long ago from this
stage where would the names of Senators
Bayard and salisbury be hundred years
from hencel will tell him where his name
will be In that time-safely enshrined In the
criminal records of the District of Colum-
bia. Secretary Wolcott took up the ques-
tion of mixed schools, and argued that there
was a tendency in the Republican party
toward them and they would surely come
in case of Republican success I'm Delaware.
Senator Bayard then introduced the Hon.
William Pinkney Whyte, Mayor of Balti-
more, in q few well-chosen and eloquent
words. The endorsement was warm and
the crowd finally got on its feet and cheered
when Maryland's honOred son stepped be-
fore the footlights.
Mayor White spoke in the most hattering
terms of Delaware, it's people and its re
nowned Senator. The name of Bayard
[applause] would endure as long a. the
Republic should last. 1t was associated
with all that was good, and true, and
patriotic in our history. The speaker
warmly applauded any movement which
looked to bringing young men forward "a
politics, and commended the young Demo
Gratis of Wilmington for what they had done
and were doing. There had been but
little party politics of late, but he
was in favor of party, and believed that all
matters of national nature could be prop
erly conducted by party and within party.
The speaker with rare eloquence went ON
to relate the attempts of the Democratic
party to get into power since 1872. In that
year if the voice Of Bayard had been fol-
lowed the Democratic party would not have
gone for Horace Greely. He reviewed the
several campaigns and dwelt at great length
upon that when Iilden was elected, but the
office was stolen for Hayes.
He urged that Delaware should be kept
where she is now. All National and State
issues were In favor OF the Democratic party
being In power. Don't let her lose her
Democratic lustre. Don't let her 60 about
in an uncertain course like this land
ship / have heard people ridicule. The
favor and credit of the State and the sterling
worth of her representatives were dwelt
upon, and after paying high tribute to Mr..
Bayard for his position in the National
Congress, particularly that on the currency
question and the river aud harbor bill, he
declared that Maryland would be true TO
the great cause, and that he had no reason
to doubt that Delaware would be In the old
column.
SENATOR BAYARD's sPEEcH.
Calls were now made for Senator Bayard
and responding he said:
Fellow Citizens I have come here to-
night to have a pleasure which I have en-
joyed-the privilege of introducing the
honored gentleman who has just spoken
and of hearing him. did not come here to
make speech and am not prepared to do
it, but it may be well for me to call atten-
tion to the matter of local issues involved in
this campaign, as did when / last spoke
here. At that time felt It my
duty to warn you against men who have
taken the Republican party by the throat
and attempt to govern this State through It,
l spoke to you plainly. / could not help
but do this-it was my duty. What told
ysu then was stated candidly and honestly.
I fho 20
from having such rulers as you will have If
the Republican party succeeds, at the same
time gave the facts and the records. Has
there been any denial of the truth Of
my assertionsl Not word and nearly q
month has passed. The record grows blacker
still. Look at your papers to-day, and
imagine what will be the result If the men
who want to lead get the leadership. Was
there ever any thing whispered in this State,
the Attorney General OF this State had ac-
cepted bribe TO acquit a murdererG Look
in your papers to-day and see what other
people have DONE" s@s fa4.
The speaker then went on to draw q sad
picture OF what the State would be were 1t
placed in these hands. After referring to
the corruption Of the city government of
under Republican admiDis-
tration and Phipps' stealing of $75, 900 a
year, tHlCc Ms ulucu as IL Cost 70 run INT
State Government of Delaware, he said the
people were right in breaking it up.
Mr.. Bayard repeated his challenge
to any one to give the name, date
and itemized facts concerning any default
ing Democratic officials in Delaware, The
Democrats did not want general charges.
They had been charged with defalcations
and the accounts had been published and
found square to the dollar. Purnal j.
Lynch had been charged with defalcation,
but his books were open. If they
can be proved against the Demo
Gratis they will confess themselves
unworthy of confidence. Mr.. Bayard,s
statement that he might meet the audience
again before the election was greeted with
applause but he said he had other audiences
to address in other parts of the State and
might not be oble to speak here again. After
again warning the people against the men
whose records were published in the daily
papers of yesterday, Mr.. Bayard closed with
the statement that he was confident of
success.
The meeting closed with enthusiastic
cheers for Mayor White, Mr.. Bayard and
Stockley and Lore.
