Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1892-10-27

The Opera House was filled Tuesday
night to listen to All address by Senator
Gray upon the issues Of the campaign.
A company Of mounted Cleveland and
Stevenson club members from Elan,
Delaware county, and from Brandy
wine, numbering some 40 men who had
just ridden in, arrived at the Opera
House after the speaking had com
menced and were given seats on the
platform. The bright red and blue
uniforms of the horsemen gave bril-
liant effect to the stage.
Chairman Willard Salisbury of tho
county executive committee introduced
the speaker Of the evening. In SO doing
he said. ...
hsiiowcitiscas, Ladies' and Gentlemen:
Eloquent lips from other states tell how
Dclaware's SONS will tell YOU how we, u
free people. are in the midst Of a struggle
for our liberties.
Besides the local issues of Force bill
methods. and the venaity and corrup-
tion in the Republican bodies that have
fastened themselves upon this county and
this city, tariff issues. to me, seem tame.
Here we have the ignorance Of the State
banded together and differed and led by
inscriptions politicians who care nothing
for the welfare of this commonwealth or
this community, and have no interests in
it's welfare. In this city a Democratic
City Council leaves balance in the
treasury Of 10000 which one year of Re,
publican mismanagement dissipates and
with an increased tax rate the first year Of
Republican rule leaves Il deficit Of $4,000.
lAPplanssl p.o,,,,io,n a. Court ,rios
to bankrupt the county and ruin its
finances by refusing, until compelled by
the courts to collect moneys due IT, and
defauiting in its interest, while it cXpends
thousands of dollars in useless law suits,
and by jobbery, denounced even by one or
two of the honest members of its own
party, in open session, it loads unnecessary
burdens on the county, while it seeks to
drive corrupt political bargains in award
ing It's contracts.
CORRUPT POLITICAL JOB.
denounce the Washington street bridge
scheme ms d corrupt political job, and |
predict should Republican success he as
sured in this state the million dollars hc-
cumulated in our State treasury by honest
and economical Democratic management
will soon become "A prey to greedy ltepub-
!ican strikers, who are now lighting for
that stake. Cheersl.
Eellow-citizens protect our little State by
your votes on next election day. love its
child played among them; us Il boy its
broad level street sheS Of field and orchard
were then my home; and as man | feel
proud as | trend the granite rocks of
Brandywine to know that our people,
firm as that granite, sturdy as the oaks
that grow above it. have stood up for their
rights and liberties, and that outside OPP
preston has never made them finch or
has dishonesty controlled them.
You will hear tonight from one who in
the national Congress has well fought and
won one great fight for your liberties.
detain you only to announce the speaker
of the evening, Hon, George Gray. Loud
cheers
SENATOR GRAY's SPEECH.
AS the senator stood up to speak, the
Opera House orchestra mingled the
strains of maryland, My Maryland
with the ovation that greeted Delaware'S
favorlte senator.
The speaker commenced in low
sympathetic tones, the meaning Of
which quickly developed themselves ii
most pathetic feeling and thoroughly
appreciated reference to the bercaye
ment of President Harrison early yes
terday morning.
Senator Gray spoke in effect as fol
