After being Greeted with a storm OF
applause, Mr.. Lore began by saying that al
though feeling unwell, he wanted to meet
his Wilmington friends face to face and
talk freely and honestly of the campaign
There had been such wide range Of cues
tions, all OF which had been SO thoroughly
discussed that he hardly knew what there
was of interest TO say. He spoke of how the
Democracy had stood shoulder to shoulder
In the past through all the trials and on
preston of the war and still stood solid for
the liberty of mankind.
To be Democrat now is to belong to a
party who is now rushing on to victory on
| November to settle the most corrupt party
] in existence. The Republican party seemed
to believe that the mechanics and working
| men were children and wanted to feed them
on milk. A fragment of the party, three
men, were running the whole thing in this
| State.
| He then explained the matter of protec-
tion as the Republican party taught and
understood it-a protection that protected
| the capitalist, who, while making so Der

men only about one-tenth of that amount.
Tariff, as Mr.. Hastings understood it, was
the putting Of the labor of many into the
| pockets Of the few.
| lie then gave the derivation of the word
| tariff, which came from the name Of little
| town in Spain, Tarieffa, commanding the
| entrance to the Mediterranean. There,
years ago, the Moors had control and col
lected toll from all vessels that entered the
| channel. If tariff means protection to
workmen he would favor it. The Republi-
cans say 1t means high wages and money
enough for the worlimen to lay something
by. But the panic of 1873 proved different,
and the mechanic was getting paid less than
he was 20 years ago. 1t is not the tariff
which protects the people. 1t is the in
born skill, brain, head and hand work of
the American mechanic. Throw him on the
prairies and he will make for himself a home
in the wilds and the wilderness.
He dwelt at some length upon the subject,
and declared that tariff means protection
for American capitol and free trade for
American labor. Capitalists were not work
ing for their employees but for themselves,
He then took up the matter of Stalwart-
ism, giving the minute details of the origin
of the term "Stalwart" and what it meant.
He told how the honest element of the Re-
publican party in New York repudiated
Folger because, while being a good and up
right man, he was nominated by forgery and
fraud. In Pennsylvania, too the Independ-
ent movement had sounded the death knell
of Cameron, who represented the Stalwarts
there.
He concluded by saying that victory was
in the hands Of the Democrats, and success
on Tuesday meant Democratic president

OTHER DEMOCRATIC RALLIEs-AN OLD
FASHIONED DAY AT SMYRNA. |
The Democrats Of Upper Kent county, |
Saturday, rallied in genuine, old-fashioned |
style, and treated the town of Smyrna to a
that fairly astonished the in |
habitants 1t looked like a revival of the |
campaign spirit of "A, and old residents
declared that nothing like It had been seen
for years.
Visitors began to flock into town at an
early hour, and by IL. o'clock the main
street was cleveriy crowded for several
squares. About 12 the procession started,
and the cavalcade moved over the principal
streets, to the great admiration of the spec
tators. 1t was a unique and interesting
sight. First came about 125 horsemen, who
rode well and displayed a fine
riders were gaily decorated with
flowers, evergreens and small flags. They
were followed by line of wagons and car
riages, extending for quarter of mile, all
trimmed up in holiday style and some of
them carrying suitable political notices.
The school question, as now agitated In
politics, was made a prominent feature of
the parade, and one wagon, containing
three or four imitation colored children
seated among others whose skins were un-
touched by burnt cork, was labelled as an
Illustration OF "Our Schools Under Republ-
IAN Rule, while the next wagon, filled with
/ merry lot of youngsters, among whom
,olored children were not to be found, car
led a banner on which was inscribed, "Our
schools Under Democratic Government
No Mixed Schools for U.s."
Two bands-the Diamond State of Mid
lletown and the State Capital of Dover
furnished music for the parade, and per-
ormed acceptably. After marching through
he principal streets the procession dis
landed. Among the cavalcade were large |
delegations from Kenton, Clayton, Leipsic, {
md the neighborhood adjacent to Smyrna. {
In the afternoon at 3 o'clock, meeting c
vas held on Main street, the speaking being

'myrna House. Colonel Henry Clay Doug
ass presided, and an audience of about 500
oters listened attentively to q speech of 4
wo hours duration by Hon. Thomas F. .
'ayard. The balcony of the Smyrna House /
vas crowded with ladies. Mr.. Bayard a
poke OF Delaware's high credit and honest s.
referred to the corruption that &
revaled in the Republican politics of New p
hampshire and other States, alluded to the &
igantic almshouse thefts in Philadelphia,
nd dwelt at length upon the personal and
olitical character of some of the chief
,aders in the Republican party of Della
are. IL
He alluded particularly to the indict-
tents pending against the Chairman of the
epublican State Central Committee, and b
eld that men of such character were not fit a.
} be entrusted with the political coutrol Of "
n honest and honored commonwealth. Mr..
award also referred to Stalwartism and it's B
vii effects upon the politics of the country, il
nd closed with an earnest appeal to his 81
carers to go to the polls on Tuesday and h
ote to keep the State government in the n
