DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT NEW CASTLE.
The Opera House at New Castle was
crowded with large and enthusiastic
audience, Saturday night, VIXEN the Dem
oorRts OF that Democratic stronghold
gave a warm welcome to Robert y. Rey-
nolds and John w. Causey, Democratic
candidates for governor and representa-
tive in Congress.
The meeting was called TO order by
! State Treasurer William Herbert and was
organized as follows:
Prosident--ThomaB Holcomb, Esq
-presidents-John II. Rodney, Esq.
David Mccoy, David Heyd, Hiram K.
Borie and James B. Toman.
Secretaries-L. E. Eliaaon and w. j.
Ferris.
Mr.. Causey spoke first and told the
meeting, in practical way, how the
Tariff bill affected the farmers OF this
State. Mr.. Reynolds followed in briei,
pleasant address. Both were warmly mp
plauded.
Hon. James L. Wolcott of Dover was
next introduced and spoke for nearly an
hour in an effective manner. He held in
h discussion Of the effect of protective
tariff, that there was something radically
wrong when men engaged in msnufaGtur-
ing pursuits could make millions in
dozen years or less, while want and desti-
tuition prevail TO such an extent among
the working people throughout the lun-
try. The lRboring man gets no protec-
tion in his labor, but is foroed to COM
pete with the most degraded pauper labor
of Europe.
George II. Bates, ESQ, of Wilmington
in an earnest plea for solid support of
the entire Democratic ticket spoke as
Democrat who believed in the necessity,
in this country, otag yernment by party,
and who, for 20 years had voted the
Democratic ticket without scratch. He
also reviewed the outrageous discrimina-
tions in the Mckinley Tariff bill, show
ing how it touched lightly upon silks,
velyeta and other Injuries, while the
many articles that are necessary to the
household of the workingman arc taxed
~ ID arta Nv Rot az
dress was listened to with close attention
and received the hearty applause Of the
audience. When he concluded the meet

HOW ANOTHER TIE WAS AVOIDED.
The tie that occurred in Mill Greek
hundred, on Saturday, September goth,
between Richard q. Buckingham and
Philip Chandler, for the Republican levy
court nomination, each receiving l67
votes, was settled by another election
Saturday afternoon. The same candidates
were In the field and the election was not
only holly contested but was very close,
Buckingham finally winning by the mar
row margin of two votes. The vote was:
Buckingham, 2O6; Chandler, 2V5.
In this connection an interesting story
ia told, which shows how mere chance
prevented the contest from resulting in
another tie. Saturday afternoon q Mill
Greek hundred Republican called on DR..
]. W. orumbaugh Of this city, and on
taking his departure casually remarked
that he believed he would go out and
vote at the nomination.
"who ia your man ?" inquired the doc
tor.
The visitor replied that he really had
no choice, and expressed his Willingness
to vote for the candidate the doctor might
select.
The doctor did not care to settle
the question, however, and suggested
that the indifferent voter determine
his choice by tossing a penny. He
agreed, the coin Tipped in the air
