pose of the last campaign 60 reduce the
tariff on things vital There was not
word in the Fisheries treaty on the tariff
question, and yet in Canada the papers
teemed with the news that there was a
private agreement to take off the tariff
ON coal, lumber and salt. In a little
while appears the Mills bill; the pledge
may not have been given, but there is the
thing that gives substance to the report
The Democratic party has broken all of
its promises to this country. There is
not even little Cleveland baby. Great
laughter and applause. For the good of
the party there should be one and If
there was, / would be afraid to speak of
the outcome Of this campaign. Laugh
ter have been in New Y Yors, silent
observer.of current events. New York
politics control to a great extent politics
in this country. The people of this
country are dead in earnest thinking
about measures not new. For the first
time in many years There is closely
defined issue between free trade and pro
lection. When Grover Cleveland and the
old free trade bandana take snuff, all
free trade England sneezes and cries
huzzah The result may be uncertain. but
| lll venture the prediction here that az
the Democrats Of the great empire state
of New Y fork have put up n candidate for
governor that their candidate for Prosi-
dent is ashamed TO endorse, this will
give the state 10 the Republicans
Great applause. iii venture another
prediction: Old Virginia unites her
promise TO those Of other states. As a
man who has seen the daily change from
| Democrats TO Republicans, who has
watched from New York, free from the
excitement Of the campaign. / tell you
Virginia is going Republican. [Uproarious
applause
God grant that the people Of Delaware,
in this time of our rejoicing, may have
chance to get registered Applause
hope the political millennium viii come,
when the people Of Delaware viii respond
TO the demand for justice aud every quail
| flied citizen will have at least one lawful
vote. l thank you most heartily and
sincerely for your greeting and partic-
ularly hope and pray that little Delaware,
in the coming victory Of the Republicans.
may join the hosts Of the successful.
Mr.. Wise concluded his speech amid
loud and long continued applause. Led
by the chairman the assemblage gave
three cheers for John s. Wise and the
band played the "StGr Spangled Banner. ="
Then there were calls for Treat, and Mr.
! Higgins arose and said After having lis
tened to the eloquent Virginian, ! think
we are entitled TO some part Of the credit
Of having taken a foreigner to our
bosom, Of having listened to the call Of
the southern county and yielded to their
call At your request | introduce TO YOU
a man once Of Maine. but now Of Sus-
sex"
Mr.. Treat was greeted with applause.
He spoke nearly half hour, saying in
part Before next Saturday night, the
camp fires Of Sussex win be burning all
over the county" The speaker said when
he first visited Wilmington the business
men Of the city told him that Sussex was
a good place to buy corn or to 60 shoot
ing, but now there We're churches and
schools and scores ofnewsboys crying the
daily papers. He described the Sussex Of
1860 and said Look at SUSSEX to-day
with her schools, products, truck, vege
table and berry patches, and fruit trees
all developed and inspired by the protec
tive system founded by the Republican
party twenty-five years ago.
