campaign was a greater success, If posi-
BILE, than the one of the week before. On
Saturday evening every nook and corner
of the auditorium Of the Opera House
was crowded with persons anxious to
hear the orators. and they remained until
nearly II o'clock, listening attentively to
every word that was said. And the audi
ence was as solid looking set Of men as
could be gotten together. There were a
number OF ladies and here and there a
oolored person. A few minutes before
s o'clock the officers of the meeting filed
on the stage headed BY Register Nc
Whorter and II. G. johnson. A few
minutes later a whirlwind Of applause
denoted the appearance Of the speakers
of the evening, Hon L. B. Vance and
Hon. T. f. Bayard. The applause had
scarcely subsidized when the New Castle
delegation which had come over in a
special train, arrived, headed by Captain
George w Eckels, Prothonotary Maxwell
and State Treasurer Herbert. The whole
party was waving bandanas
II. G. Johnson, secretary Of the County
Executive Committee, read a long list of
4he officers Of the meeting, headed by
the Hon. Charles B. Lore. Mr. johnson
introduced Mr. Lore who said Il thank
the meeting that it has chosen me to pre-
@ide over it, and am glad that am pre-

that eloquent Senator from North Caro-
lima, Hon Zebulon b. Vance
Mr.. Vance was greeted with genuine
Delaware Democratic reception which him
dered him from beginning to speak for
some minutes In few minutes he had
the hearts of his hearers. His easy CON
versational style, his frequent witty out
groupings. and his fund of anecdote filled
his audience full of enthusiasm and good
humor. He opened his address by saying
i am happy to stand before such a mag.
nifcent audience TO plead for what / be.
lieye to be the best for our country -Four
years ago after twenty four years of Re
publican rule and misrule the American
people determined that they wanted a
change. Like so many others with long
lease Of power their leaders prophesed
all manner Of evil They said that the
doctrine of secession would be establish
ed If the Democrats came into power and
that many Of the states Of the south
would have to be furnished with night
keys, so they could 20 in and out at
pleasure. They said slavery was inevit-
able and In my state some Of the old
darkeys after the election asked the
privilege Of selecting their own mast,

The greatest question before MS is the
question Of taxation. What Is taxationq
y Is the means by which despotie row
ernments oppress and good governments
protect their people. When tyrannieallv
used u IS the right and duty Of every cit.
lzen to protest. When / earn a dollar
and put Il IN my pocket. no one but the
government has right to take it from
me, but If the government takes one cent
more than Il needs, that government is
tyiannicai.
''fhe second principle Of taxation Is one
any man outside Of the penitentiarv will
agree with Namely, that this taxation
should be 50 levied and the taxation upon
citizens 50 adjusted that those the most
Rbie 10 pay should pay the most. and
EgAl0se the least able 10 pay should nav the
least. The protection that enables men
to put money in their pockets is robbery
nnder the form of law. When this taxa
hon is levied purely for revenue. let them
take Il and make the most of it. This
government is putting every month
