- An Ignorant and Brussi Race "
The only hope Of the Republicans
in this campaign is in their appeal to
the feelings and instincts OF an igno-
rant and brutal race A gentleman
who was present gives the foregoing as
the exact language used by one OF the
| speakers at the Democratic meeting
held in the Opera House on Friday
| night last. The language WAS 80
severe and harsh that it made deep
impression upon his mind and he says
he knows he is not mistaken in the
exact words used.
The speakers OF that evening were
Hon. Charles B. Lore and ex-Secretary
of State James l.. Wolcott, of Dover.
The language is not chargeable to Mr..
Lore and therefore it must have been
Mr.. Wolcott that made use of it. Just
what low and brutal race is referred to
by Mr.. Wolcott is not stated and we
are left 10 conjecture. IL he meant the
colored race which II has been the
pleasure Of the Democratic party to de-
fame upon every public occasion, his
remarks are inapplicable, for it is he
boast of the Democratic party that the
colored voters are getting their eyes
open and in increasing numbers they
are voting the Democratic ticket. At
any rate it is quite certain that the
nominees of the Democracy in this city
are smiling very graciously in the d.
rection of the colored vote in this cam
lpaign.
This being the fac, then, no Demo
cratic lnaa L hn nd a.,
alton as intelligently as Mr.. Wolcott
does, would be 80 indiscreet as to apply
the language quoted to the colored
race. Then what race could he have
alluded TO 1t is almost incredible that
he alluded to the English race or the Ter.
man race, because they hold about the
same relation to both the Democratic
and Republican parties that they have
always held. What race then could
have been meant? We know of but
one more race of any considerable &C
count in numbers that go to make up
he body polite of our country, and
that race is the Iris. As there IL u
large Democratic detection amongst the
Irish voters who have always heretofore
i taken their politics of the straight
Democratic character, does it not seem
