The danger consists In the Republican inten-
tion of altering all our laws and adopting a |
policy foreign to the feelings of the |
people Of Delaware. ! need not be |
palmer. understand at their ratification |
meeting the other night one speaker said |
that the party must open the free schools to |
white and colored children alike. They |
desire, 1t seems, to legislate for class and |
not for the whole county. The Republican |
party has used the taxing power until it col |
| lects 81 900, 900 of revenue, and If 1t gets
| control 1t will regard the taxing power not
| for the public interest but TO promote private
interests. What have they done with the
money in Congressl At the last session of
Congress $78, 900 900 more was spent than
in The forty sixth Congress, leaving out of
the question the pension and deficiency bills,
and the appropriations just made are not all
| that will be required, as there Is a deficiency
bill of $25 ,000, 900. But this is all have to
say tonight end abruptly because have
consumed too much time already. At some
future time In the campaign, If the OppOr-
tunity is afforded, i will discuss these mat
ters more fully with you. thank you for
your kind attention. Applause.
MR.. PAYNTER's SPEECH.
The next speaker was John II. Paynter of
Georgetown, and, on being introduced, he
said
Mr.. Chairman and Fello0 Democrats: |
beg leave to congratulate our party upon the
large gathering and enthusiasm of the
Democrats ON this most auspeious occasion.
beg leave to congratulate the Democratic
party upon the nominations that have been
made by the State Convention for the Offices
of Governor and Representative in the Con
gress of the United States. Applause. /
beg leave, Mr.. President, to congratulate
the party on the harmony that exists ap-
plausel and the disposition to march up
solidly In one solid phalanx for victory, and
elect Charles G. Stockley and Charles b.
Lore. AppIauBe. The party was never
in better condition TO fight than now.
There are all-sufiicient indications that in
November we will achieve victory OF
which we may be proud. / came here to
give you the good news that Sussex is
!, more thoroughly Democratic than ever in
the campaign of 1882. [Applause. ! know
different reports of dissension have been
I spread, and know they are untrue, so far
as the Democratic party is concerned. Ihave
been In Sussex, have come through Kent
and have come to New Castle to-day, and
! everywhere find the outlook most cheer
ing. The party was never In better condi-
tion to meet the black Republican party
than now. This canvass is an important
one. This meeting is more than a mere
| ratification. In Delaware certain principles
: are at stake, and the men who sit before
/ | you as our nominees are the exponents oi
those principles. We do not want change
as some people ask. Who would change from
the Democratic party to party which want
