For thirty years they have ruled AMI

Of the Democratic party OF the State
WAS aoaIhinR and his remarks were met
Win repeated applause. He looked
hack upon the record OF Democratic
rule and showed how Justice had been
administered.
For twenty years. though many were
| guilty Of murder and deserved hanging
not white man had been hung, until
recently they hung poor orAzy fellow
who had no friends and wanted to be
hung, but whenever black man was
suspected Of crime he might ~ well
come In and lay his heAd upon the
block, he Was sure 10 90 anyhow. Mr..
Bach then made comparison between
the two candidates for Congress, In
which the present Democratic candidate
WAS held up In y Ridiculous light. He
paid deserved tribute to the MAipe

tonished the country with what puok
and energy could do. Wilmington, be
said, Was full Of these enteTprisiDg Yam =

business OF tie State, and there 10
nothing left TO the Democrats hut this

After music by the band Rev. J5nA
than L. Willis was introduced and WAS
received with prolonged applause. The
audience expected . treat from Mr.
Willis and they Rol II. MT. Willis said
some Democratic soribbleE had reiaIred
to him As the preacher in Politics I"
he did not know that because be was 0
Q minister he had no standing as = oiti
gen under the law. He WAS born under
that Dag, and he paid taxes, being the
owner OF considerable real estate. he
had proved his devotion 10 that hAy by
his services on the battle field. He felt
Is II he had some rights In this country,
and he felt like bounding II as the Irish
man bound II, on the east by the Rising Z
6uH, on the north by q procession OF
equinoXes, on the west by the aurora
boreAlls and on the south by the Day Of
Judgement, this WAS his country. He had
stood upon the topmost peak OF the Al
leghanles, by the roaring Niagara, upon
! the seAshore, and with most inlmitAble
Ruah Of eloQuence Mr.. Willis declared
that this country Was his, and for that
country he proposed to speak. In his
eloquent flight Of oratory he pictured
| the formation Of this Republican party
In 1855, Its irlumpbs until 1884, when
Il was exiled for . short season, but
next Tuesday, In 1888, 1t is to be en-.
throned by the election OF Harrison and
Morton. He then showed the ground
upon which the Republican party stood
a. opposed to the Democratic party.
Referring to the Prohibition party he
said he had been invited by . PrOhi
bltlonist 10 debate the temperance ques,
tlon as between the PTohibltloniBts nRd
In D lblioanE, but had declined on the
ground that II the Pr0hibltionist made
q An argument tha. WAS likely to atteot q
voters opinions he had nothing to draS
men 10, aud on the contrary II the
speAkor made such an argument there
would be nothing to draw from.
Mr.. Willis then proceeded to deliVel
one OF the Ablest and most eloqusn'
speeohes made during the campaign
upon the tariff, the main question q
issue between the parties. Hlsremarkl
created the greatest eDthusia'mI ap,
plAuse after applause greeting him. Anc
hIs illustrated aneod0ieB kept the Audi

tends, he said, that this country shoult
be q government Of the people, by the
people aud for the people. He charged
his hearers 70 do their duty, and see Il
