with witticisms, which brought down
the gathering. The powers Of the
State were held up In such q manner
that the blind could almost sac through
the intricate partisan machinery by
which the government Is run. He
despaired Of looking for any desirable
and needed reform except through the
Republicans. Mr.. Nields' speech was
heartily applauded and enjoyed.
Mr.. Bach then introduced John Pill
ling to respond TO the toast, "The Con.
stitutional Amendment" saying the
best sermon ever read is that an hon
est man is the noblest work of God.
! Within the last ten days the Demo-
cratic newspapers and politicians of
this city made the astounding revela-
tion that man may be TOO honest to

newspapers and politicians were any.

were Hunkers," for instance, or
''barnburners," or greenbackers, or
indeed anything but Democrats, they
would have perhaps vital conscious

"Ah God, for man with heart, head and

Such a man Is going to respond to the
toast-"New Castle County and her
Rights"
AS the tall form of Mr.. Pilling arose
to reply, tremendous applause followed,
and was continued for some time. Mr..
Filling said that for the last few days
he had been made the target of the
Democrats all over the State. He said
he had been at the head of the New
Castle County Republican Executive
Committee In the late disastrous cam
paign, but he was as ardent Republi-
can AZ ever. The principles Of the par
ty were none the less true that they had
not been indorsed by majority OF the
votes.
His motto was, be true and 20 ahead
take no other man $ rights but main
tain your own, Mr.. Pilling said the
letter recently issued caused howl
about the constitutional amendment
|of the State. This amendment
gives 70 New Castle County eleven
Representatives and four Senators, and
and to Kent and Sussex Counties each

is merely trick. He has been cbarg.
ed with giving the Republican party
away. If the truth gives it away, i'll
ought to have been given away long
ago. New Castle County, outside OF
Wilmington, has as many honest votes
and as many honest faces as Kent.
The Democratic papers tell US that
we had better take it, for half loaf
was better than no bread, but if tariff
tinkering is to be carried on many peo-
Pile would have to go with half a loaf.
MIR. Piliing severely criticised Mr.. Bates
action in the late Legislature, when he
said IN reference " this amendment
that " 1t is not my funeral, and will
not preside at it,"
The tariff, Mr.. Pilling said, would be
the cardinal principle Of the next Presi-
Dental campaign. The time he thought
had come TO settle it, and at some length
he dwelt upon the advantages of pro-
tective :ariti, closing with an appeal TO
the young men Of the Club TO stand
firm In the principles of the Eepubli-
can party and to maintain their ina.
lienable rights.
Henry G. Conrad, Esq, being intro

Henry +. Pickles appropriately re-
sponded to the toast: 1.-THE city of Will

Red, White and Blue" the audience
joining in the chorus.

In behalf of the guests, Mr.. Stone
thanked the Young Mems Republican

pleasure that had been experienced.
After which the banquet broke up with
three cheers and tiger for the club.
