commenced by saying that in the great
states Of the Union, honest men were
coming into the ranks Of the Democrat
party, and In the State of Ohio there
had been q complete revolution. In his
opinion the States Of New York and
Pennsylvania would soon fail into line
aud be turned toward the morning.
In this campaign the Republican
party have forced State issues upon the
people of Delaware, and the speakers
of that party are now telling the people
how bad the Democrat party have gov
ernsd this State, and that they shoald
not be permitted to continue in power
any longer. They charge that those
who represent the great party that has
governed this State for years, are no
longer to be trusted with power by
their fellow citizens.
He said that these charges were un.
true, aud would not stand proof, and
proceeded to compare the Democrat
administration in Delaware, with the
Republican admin istration in Pennsyl-
vania, where in Philadelphia alone,
Phipps had stolen $4,000 annually for
a number of years.
Mr.. Gray continued at some length,
and referred to the dafalcation of an
official in this State which he said cost
5000 to find out.

Esq, who said that he had just return.
ed from down the State and scarcely
felt able to make a speech; still he
would assure his hearers that all the
omens were favorable in Kent and Sus-
sex for Democrat victory.
Mr.. Lore spoke for short time and
whom he took his seat, loud calls were
made for George Fl. Bates, ESQ who
finally responded, but said that he
would have to be excused from making
any lengthy remarks as he felt COM
pletely worn out, and If he had given
away 10 his feelings, he would have
been In bed instead of being on that
platform. After referring to the pros
poets down the State, and ridIcuhnG
the ship Constitution, he closed by
urging his hearers to come forward on
the 7th of November and vote the Dea-
ooratic ticket,
Ignatius @. Grubh, Esq, was the
last speaker and he confined himself to
a review of the address of the Hon.
N. B Smithers at the Opera House on
Friday evening. He admitted that
Mr.. Smithers had said q great deal
that was true, but had overlooked a
great deal more that was equally true.
He had forgotten to mention in his
speech the fact that in 1875 John r.
Cochran had introduced into the Legis'
lature of this State measure provid-
ing greater representation for New
CASTLE county.
After Mr.. Grubb had closed his re.
marks the meeting adjourned with
three cheers for the Democrat ticket.
