Democratic Meeting.

A fair-size audience met at the town
Hall last night to attend the first Ouo-
lie Democratic meeting held here Z ur-
ing the campaign. The meeting as S
organized by appointing Robert Hi. l
chairman, John VanGasken and ID. j.
Cummins also occupying seats on the
stage. The Smyrna Cornet Band fur
nished music for the occasion.
The first speaker was L. Irving
Handy, Of this town. He spoke for
topics incident to the campaign, espec-
tally the unpleasantness that had ex-
isted in the party ranks and the pro0a-
BILE wandering of some to the new
party, with a tender appeal to them
to remain in the old fold. The ad-
dress contained some clever expan-
sions of sentiment and literary pyrO-
technics, but was hardly up to the
speakers efforts on scholastic occa-
sions. Perhaps be felt, like Mr.. Biggs
said cf the preachers, that the fore
front of the political hustings is not the
place for a teacher of our public
schools.
Chairman Hill introduced Major
Biggs as the next governor of Della
ware. Mr.. Biggs commenced with a
tone of tenderness, for he went back 10
1854 when he made his first Democratic
speech in Smyrna, or, aS he persists III
calling it, Smyrnee, and a glance over
the audience showed him that a large
part of those he mingled with then are
now numbered with the silent dead.
| Leaving this he took up the rise and
progress of the Democratic party and
/ traced it to his candidacy for Governor
! We cannot attempt to give a synopsis
! of the speech in the briefspac we have
to allot to it, for it covered almost
! every conceivable topic in national and
State politics, dropping one almost as
soon as it was touched to take up
another He, however claimed that
to the Democratic party was due the
| great prosperity of our nation and
| through it we had also harnessed the
lightning and made it mans messen-
ger through the telegraph system, aud
had also obtained the telephone and
electric lights. He was opposed to
the tariff and in favor of free coinage,
can almost say" said he. unlimited
coinage" He claimed for our State
the best government and the greatest
freedom from taxes, and held his
party up as a model of all that was
virtuOus in politics. Mr.. Biggs' strong
points with large part of his audience
were his scripture paraphrascs and apt
campmeeting expressions, and manner
of putting them. There is nothing
cold, nor stiff nor argumentative about
Mr.. Biggs, and if he does not lead his
hearers into the profundites of poltica
economy, he does not put them tC
sleep. The meeting closed at half-pas
nine o'clock. nobody mad and al
either entertained or amused.

his homeward journey to San Fran

gence and observation, and while he
was enjoying himself in renewing old
acquaintance and making new ones
he was at the same time giving pleas

prcvements, but in interest and inclina-
tion feels a stronger allegiance to the
Occident.
