County.
LEwES X ROADS, Oct. II, 1882.-Our
good ship reached this place at noon.
As usual The people had preceded her.
Owing to a long and unnecessarily
tedious journey to reach Georgetown in
time for to nights demonstration the
boat lay here only while the crew and
horses were fed. Here we tested Sus-
sex county hospitality. Mr.. Cannon
fed speakers, crew and horses, in his
own house and stables, In all about %
men and IA horses-and no charge
This was one of the best meetings for
work that we have had.
The people who came were Delaware's 3
own yeomanry-hOnest as gold. They
came in OK carts, in farm wagons, on
timber wheels, or foot; the men came,
the women brought their children to
seq the ship their parents tohear the
gospel preached. They saw they heard
they approved. The men asked ques-
tons and were COurte1usly answered.
They shook our hands iu parting, re-.
grettully, sayiuk this is a new kind of
politics Democrat never told us
these things, ali Of which we can read
lily believe, but light comes and re-
demptiOn is at hand.
Speeches were made by Beniah Wat
son, Roberts, Judge Fisher aud James
Penniwell. The boat issIill trim. We
have an eagle, blue hen and coon,
and these being of Republican order
dwell peacefully together. Our crew
are all well ard in the best OF spirits.
GEORGETOWN, Del, Oct. II, 1882
Our tim ntIle ship has just entered
the public square; the scene is one
n"ver to be forgotten, cannot be des-
crhed and can only bO remem bered.
The rush OF rockets, the flare OF lights,
accompany the music of three bands.
AS write the people are in an ecstacy
OF joy; there are people dancing on the
stage and in the rear of the crowd
women are dancing and all over the
vast crowd are expressions Of joy.
Mr.. Woodford, Mr.. Hastings, Mr..
Harrington, Mr.. Penniwell, Mr.. Rob-
erts and Mr.. Watson made speeches
and the people chsered to the echo.
Citizens Of Georgetown toll me that the
numbers and nthasiasm Of this meet.
ing have never been exceeded here. 1t
was perhaCs equaled in Milford one
week ago, but the situation makes it a
scene of far greater beauty. There is
ample room, the people are not crowd
ed in 50 narrow place-the lights and
shadows have longer ranges, the trees
in the square give an additional beau.
ty TO the scene. 1t would be invidiOus
indeed to compare or judge between the
men who spoke to this crowd. Upon
no platform, in no State, has there been
a better policy advocated or more earn
est aud eloquent advocates. Mr.. Hast
ings' earnest practical methods are
winning for him hundreds of friends.
1t is folly to oppose Mr.. Harrington
in this State. Aside from his being
Republican who believes in the princi-
Piles of his party, anxious to apply them
to the government of the State, he is,
these people believe, the leader under
whom the Republican party is to sue
ceed. They have come to know that
Democracy is a fraud and are looking
to eur party for an era Of good feeling
and prosperity. Mr.. Curry is with the
ship. Judge Fisher leaves US for .
short time. Mr.. Watson will leave us
Tomorrow for few days, but other re
cruits are promised. Major Lohand
joins US to night. Il.
