Daily Republican., 1882-09-13

this campaign. 1 am with you hearth
ly and sincerely, for am profoundly
attached to that great organization,
which has done 30 much for human
liberty and civil government.
believe that II we remain united We
will be successful, and that after the
7th OF next November Delaware will
take her proper place with the Republi.
can states, and start on o newer and
brighter career of prosperity. l now
have the honor to introduce as the first
speaker Levi O. Bird, ESQ.,: Mr.. Bird
said, Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen,
Ladies' aud Gentlemen, once again Re-
publicans OF Delaware, you are called
upon to struggle in behalf of those
principles, the establishment of which
has become q necessity for the very
form of government under which we
Hive. Here on this 18th night Of Sep
tember we loin hands and vow with
Gods help, that we will never give up
until Delaware is rescued from Demo
cratic misrule, and takes her proper
place in the Republican line.
Shoulder to shoulder and hand In
hand let US go on and never rest or lie

where 1t belongs. A Republican VIC
tory was never 80 nearly within our
reach. There never had been In the
history of the Democratic party a time
when 1t was go utterly demoralized.
1t can be read on the oountenances Of
every Democrat you meet on the street.
This is no one mans campaign; it is q
campaign Of prin0iples-thes same prin.
ciples for which the Republican party
have been battling since 1856. Let
every Republican in this hall, no mat
ter what his opinions or his prejudices,
work to achieve success, and after that
they can quarrel about offices as they
wish. Our success will wipe out the
most Infamous set Of laws that ever
cursed the statute book. Many Re-
publicans like to call themselves ire
formers.
There are several kinds of reformers
but they all want to get into the Dem.
ocratic party and don't know how to do
il; now don't let US have any refoTmers
this time until after the 7th of Novem-
Der, when we can shake Curry by the
hand as Governor Of Delaware, and
Hastings az our Congressman. Victory
is very near, and II we fail this time it
is the fault Of the Republican party.
Victory is In the air, you can see 1t In
the face Of every Democrat you meet on
the street. The whispers of the little
election in June, have struck terror in
their ranks we have laid aside the
Democratic police who dubbed and
drove the honest voters from the polls;
YES, thank God, we have laid them aside
This In no one mans campaign, it is a
fight for all, o fight for principles and
we ask for its success so that we can
wipe from the statute books the most
infamous laws that were ever known.
We will not rest until after the 7th!
day of November, when Curry is Gov
ernor and Hastings in Congress. Every
platform in the Democratic party for
the last twenty years was a false and
fraudulent lie. 1t was party that
had pandered to every vile taste and
that stopped at nothing. 1t had trailed
its principles In the dHst for the sake of
the Jesuit proverb, the end justifes the
means. We present to you for Govern
or an honest farmer, o tiller of the soil +,
a man who has been in several State
conventions and at least on one occasion
chosen an elector from your State.
The speaker eulogized Mr.. Curry and
said that he was one of the best farm
ers in the State of Delaware, and he
would make as good a Governor as he
was a farmer. In speaking Of Mr.
Hastings he said, thank God we have
not chosen lawyer for Congress, we
don't want lawyers in Congress, so we
give you q man who has helped to build
up Wilmington and make her what she
is. q thriving, industrious city, a man
of the class that fed the children of
laboring men by thousands and thous-
ands, and who had made the name of
the city celebrated by land and sea, as
thriving, industrious, prosperous Will
mington. We do not want lawyers In
Congress, far from 1t, though he had an
apple out that bag himself.
Have you heard from Maine the
Democrats said they could carry the
State by 10000 majority. but the news
has come, and 1t Is the first knel OF the
death of the Democratic party.
The Democrats said that Blaine could
not carry Maine, they also had said
that Wales should not be Mayor Ol
Wilmington, but their boasts are false
for Blaine has carried Maine and John
P. Wales is Mayer of Wilmington. This
is one Of the most premoniTions Of the
victory in store for US on the 7th O.
November, and you can depend on mt
to aid and assist with all my energies
in seccering that victory. As Mr.. BirC
took his seat, the band played thu
Star Spapgled Banner and Yankee
Doodle.
