fostering one kind that another may be


The agricultural community believe
that they have been misrepresented be-
fore the house of Congress, for by taxing
tin plate the Mckinley bill has made it
improbable, to grow tomatoes Now
agriculture is the backbone of every
other industry; and when it Is crushed,
all others are bound to fall. He then
produced catalogue of pictures of the
various farm implements. and after con-
trasting the prices paid for them In the
United States, with that paid In any
other country he continued, Mr.. Rich.
ardson is in favor OF maintaining this
tariff on canned goods; he maintains
that you are entitled TO pay robber
tariff for the benefit of a few manufac-
turers, and yet he calls upon you to elect
him, and he hopes TO carry the state with
the aid of Doodle AS an instance Of the
way in which Republicans manipulate the
party machinery, whenever they get into
office let me mention Sussex county
There. the Democrats form seven-teaths
of the population, but through a mistake
the Republicans got hold of the reins, and
as a result,a Democrat will not,be permit
ted to occupy place in either the grand
or petit jury. Give them chance in
New Castle county and the same state of
things will result. He then paid a
tribute to Mr.. Reynolds, whose principal
virtue he declared was kindness to the
poor, and finished by expressing hope
that when the election day came around
the Democrats would be found to head the
poll with substantial majority.
Lewis @. VANDERBILT was introduced
and addressed the meeting as follows:
GENTLEMEN AND FELLOW CITIZENS:
+ The Ia, bn 1,at aal

| can say that while may not kow all
Of your names, yet those faces belong
to men | meet with in every day life
Many Of you are my personal friends and
men before whom | would not stand and
advance anything against their IN
terest | tell you now, and / speak
candidly, you are called upon to meet
the most momentous issue that has con
fronted you since the civil war.
The enemy has made an inroad into our
ranks and we are called upon as citizens
and men, to prevent them from repeat
ing their victory.
The issue this fall is only preliminary
to that which will follow two years
hence. when you will be called up N to
exercise your birthright at the Presi-
Dental election and the man who now
gets the first blow has won more than
half the battle. Delaware has always
been reconized as Southern State, but
the Republican party by an accident, has
broken iato your line When Senator
Higgins was elected, the enemy rejoiced
and from Philadelphia to Boston he
was Toasted, toasted and idoized, so
much 80 that it surpassed his widest
moments of anticipation. In the intoxi-
cation of the moment, no doubt Mr. Hig-
gins believed himself to be
hero, but the Republicans were
not thinking of Higgins, but Of the fact
that they have made an inrosd on the
Democratic states of the South. From
this until election day let you all employ
your time In impressing your opinions
upon those who are doubtful, those who
have not fully made up their mind as to
the ticket they will vote, and leave those
who have always been Democrats alone.
Then | am confident that when November
arrives Reynolds and Causey shall head
the poll with triumphant majority.
The Next Governor.
. Mr.. Reynolds, on coming forward, was
: received with loud applause. He said:
