A TALK BY DELAMATER.
About 7:3O o'clock Mr.. Delamater and
his friends drove to Choral Hall, where the
business of the day was to be consummated
by an address from the Senator followed by
a reception. The hall was tastefully deco
rated, and enlivening music was furnished

$50 people were present to receive the vls-
itor, an assemblage which was subsequently
increased to about 200, among whom was a
goodly sprinkling of ladies and children.
The aspirant for the chair at Harrisburg was
introduced by Senator Anderson in few brief
remarks.
Mr.. Delamater on rising was received with ap-
plause. He spoke for about 70 minutes and
apparently, under difficulty, as If suffering from
a cold. The Senator travelled over the beaten
track of the questions at issue. He touched
upon Republicanism in this State. and oplned
that citizens were as strongly welded to the
tenets of the party now as In the past. He re-
viewed his political career, and expressed a
hope that it was such as would enable citizens
to accord him their support he,
ferring to the charges which he said
had been made by his enemy. the Democracy,
concerning his position as candidate for the
Governorship. Mr.. Delamater sald that he rep
resented not the will of any one man, Dut the
will of the Republican party as 1t found ex-
preston at the convention at Harrisburg In
June last taking occasion to repeat this state
ment little later by remarking that 1t was

of one man. He was Representing the Repub-
lican party in his own man; representing he
publican ideas and the glorious traditions of
that party, which had achieved such great
things from 1861 down to the present time"
TARIFF AND THE BALLOT.
The Senator had little to say about the
tariff bill, and observed that farmers would
benefit by Its passage by receiving portion OF
the 500 0O6 900 paid every year to foreign coun-
tries. He dwelt on the system of balloting
known as the Australian system. remarking
that its adoption would dispense with all trick
cry and effect desirable result in free and
honest voting. He was glad to meet them, and
would shake hands with them before leaving
Mr.. Delamater was applauded from time to
time, principally by his more imm edlate sup
porters. Senator Anderson then said: You
will please advance along our side of the hall,
and after making the acquaintance of the Gov
ernor, pass out Or rather not pass out. but
pass down the other side" The guest OF the
evening then shook hands with those present,
and after a short time had been spent in chat
ting and exchanging views as TO the outlook,
the assemblage broke up.
The visitors returned to town by the 9:3O

sembled to meet Senator Delamater would have
been larger, but that a wedding of particular
interest was also beng celebrated last evening

probably to see how the land lay. They saw.
