THE CONVENTION OPINIONS.

nominated it's ticket. Il has been nomi-
mated in no spirit of bitterness towards
any Democrat or any portion of the
Democratic party. The convention which
named 1t, contained many Of the most
conservative and judicious men in the
btate-men dominated by no motive save
the desire to insure the success OF the
Democracy and the welfare Of the whole
people. The delegates to the convention
prohted by the advice of an unusual
gathering OF representative men, who
came to Dover for the purpose of consult
ing for the common good. As the result
OF this full conference and free exchange
of opinion, the convention unanimously
nominated MIR. Robert j. Reynolds for
governor, and MIR. John w. Oausey for
Congress. 1t adopted platform which
fully states the position Of the Demoo-
racy in this campaign. The candi-
dates stand squsreiy upon that plat
form, and appeal TO tho whole party
for support, How can any man who be-
lieves in the liberty loving principles of
the Democratic party refuse support TO
ticket thus made? It was not fractional
convention-they are not faotional candi-
dates. A convention OF such representa-.
tive Democrats meeting in such spirit
makes new epoch in the history OF the
party, an epoch in which factions should
be unknown and In which every man who
supports Democratic principles shall have
equal standing in the party. NV. Reynolds
properly emphasized this view 10 his ad-
mirable speech before the convention at
ter his nomination. The lines are formed.
All Democrats stand shoulder to shoulder
facing the common enemy. On to victoryl
WILL BRING BACK OLD MAJoRITIEs.
Easton tAId.) Ledger, Dem.
The Delaware Democrats met in State
convention on Tuesday and nominated
John w. Oausey for Representative in
Congress and Robert j. Reynolds for
| governor.
| 1t is uuquestiorably ticket that will
bring back this year Delaware's old-time
Democratic majority. MIR. Oausey, the
congressional nominee, is as true and
purs man, and as consistent and ser
siceable Democrat, as can be found in
any state. Faction In Delaware cannot
furnish Demo cratio voter who will not
vote FOR John w. OluSey. He has kins-
people In Talbot, the sons and daughters
OF the late Dol. William Hughlett being
his first Cousin.
Robert j. Reynolds, the nominee for
governor, is o leading Delaware farmer,
business man and incorporating Dem
ocrat. Thomas g. Reynolds OF TALBOT is
his brother, as are Luther M. Reynolds
and William Reynolds of the Baltimore
bar.
The Lager sends congratulations to
the Democrats of Delaware on Tuesdays
good work.
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
Smyrna Times, Rep.
tion in the primary election for the choice
Of delegstas ON Saturday in Kent county
and the unpi6dged condition of those OF
other counties, with q disposition to
abide by the choice OF Kent, made the
selection of MIR. Reynolds for governor
and Mr.. Oausey (who was identified with
him in interest) for Congress an easy
thing on the FIRST ballot, and with an ap.
parent show of the utmost harmony in
the conve ton. The above named gen.
tlemen are strong politicians, and will
lead vigorous campaign. Just what
course the more determined leaders Of
the defeated faction will take has not YET
come to the surface.
OBJECT OF THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY.
Now York World, Dem.
Mr.. Bayards platform, which was
adopted by the Delaware Democrats,
may be taken as true statement o the
object sought to be attained by the Re.
publican party. II has been aud is the
purpose OF the Republican leaders to fix
themselves In permanent control OF the
taxing power of the government and to
use the public money as party cam
paign fund. It was to accomplish this
that Reed suppressed the House Of
Representatives and usurped its func-
tions, and that the Force bill and the
Tariff bill were conoooted. And II any
thing defeats the plans of the conspira.
tors it will be jealousy in their own
ranks.
Middletown Transcript Dom.
The platform adopted by the Demo-
Gratis in Delaware In convention assem-
bled on Tuesday last is bugle. blast to
the voters Of this State which will reyer-
berate between Brnndywine and Balti-
more hundreds from now until the polls
close in November. It is bold and az
gressive and sets forth in strong terms
the grievances the people OF Delaware
have, or ought to have, against the Re-
publican party. The line of battle ia
marked out with q strong hand and the
earnestness and force with which the
issues the people are confronted with are
presented, will not fail to interest and
arouse the most apathetio, Every man
and women in Delaware should take the
time to read this platform. They will be
we'll repaid. We make special appeal
to the women of Delaware, who have
worked day by day as hard as their hus-
bands and yet have found debts atill &C.
cumulatinR, to read this platform and
then discuss its chief features with their
husbands. It deals with three great
points, viz: che one man power in CON
greHs, the Force bill" and the Mckinley
Tariff bill. 1t is put in plain and earnest
language and cannot fail to interest and
instruct. Men and women OF Delaware,
read and consider this platform and the
reasons for the general financial distress
will be apparent to you. When you reach
this point vote accordingly. u
The Democratic party has nomi-
mated strong and popular State
ticket capable of winning by a good,
ntrong majority. We are not only bound
by the action of the convention to sup.
port that ticket, but we are expected to
nominate @ county ticket which will add
to. rather than detraot from, the strength
OF the State ticket. Here in st. Georges
hundred we Will nominate candidate for
levy court commissioner. Let us nomi-
nate man who is interested as a tax
payer, man who will add strength to
the ticket. We are not called upon at
this time to nominate Representative so
let us nominate a good man for the only
county Office we are expected to fill. No
man has right to demand ANYTHING
