McLane,. Turner, @. II. Gibson and
Major w. 4. IStewart. Senator Thomas
r. Bayard, of Delaware, was the guest Of
Col. Edward Lloyd at Wye,and was escorted
into town this morning by q number of
farmers In their carriages, with hags and
banners flying. Another Democratic array.
with banners, came in town IN wagons from
Iunis Mills, numbered by hundreds. A
dinner Of roast beef, hams, vegetables, coffee,
bread and butter, etc., was served on four
long tables on the green, and from 10 to2p.
IN. was devoted to dining. The news Of
Latrobe's election in Baltimore was received
With satisfaction by Democrats. Col. Samuel
Wetherel presided, with John Mason and
numerous vlce-presidents.
General Bradley T. johnson spoke before
dinner, making and effective argument. He
said he was sure the Democratic party will
effect the reform demanded by himself and
others, and he well knew that no other
party than the Democratic party can be-
looked to for reform at all.
Senator Thomas r. Bayard delivered q
long aud able address. He said the reputa-
ton an interests nf the State of MARYLAND
were never better sustained on the floor of
Congress than they had been by Mr.. Nc
Lane. Nor did the state ever have more
faithful and honorable Representative than
Mr.. Roberts. They are well-appproved and
tried public servants, as is also Mr.. Turner.
The Democratic party, he said, starts ON
the firm foundation OF high and honest pri-
vate character In It's candidates, without
which you cannot move a step In safety.
The executive of State ought to represent
the free, unfettered voice of the people, and
will do SO If Mr.. McLane is your Governor.
But looking at Virginia, he warned the peo-
pie OF other States against letting their ex.
ecutive fall TO the representative of the will
of the federal executive. The Republican
party freed the colored man only as q means
to keep the party in Office. He knew no
poorer, meaner, baser hypocrisy than the
Republican party's treatment of the negro.
In the South handful of adventures
skinned the cream for themselves and left
the skinned milk for the colored man and
brother. Can they show single Office OF
honor and profit held by q citizen of the
colored race In Republican STATED Every
statement made by the Democrats of the
absurdities Of the City Rights bill has been
sustained by the Supreme Court, every
judge of which was appointed by Repubii-
can President. A Republican Governor
elected in Southern State will be a pro-
counsel of corruption. In Virginia the
President has shamelessly struck hands with
the party which has brought her to shame,
It is not enough for the Democratic party 70
prove the Republican party is wrong; it must
prove the Democratic party is right. We
must offer q sure guarantee that the
peoples interests will be safe in our hands
before we will be entrusted with
power. Not one act of the Democratic
party in It's 10 years of power has been de-
claTed unconstitutional, but dozen acts of
the Republican party have been so decided
by the Supreme Court. There is trouble
brewing for the manufacturer, capitalist and
working man when the markets, not Of the
whole world, but of the United States only,
are open to the manufacturers of this
country. 1t is said that when British India
is ribbed with railways, as it eau be by
capital, wheat from India can be laid down
ia London 1t 25 cents a bushel. What will
then remain for our farmers to do but to
burn their grain, as they once did their corn

Mr.. McLane followed in an exhaustive re-
view OF the claims of the two parties on the
people of Maryland.
