OF the Campaign.
The German Republican MACS meet
ing In German Hall last night was a
grand success In the numbers present
and in the spirit and enthusi SIN mani
tested. The meeting was held under
the auspices of the German-Americun
Republican Club. The hall was very
handsomely decorated with flags and
bunting and portraits OF Harrison and
Reid. The hall though not crowded
was comfortably filled 0nd three
tourths OF the audience were German
Americans.
The presiding officer OF the evening,
was Edward Geldenberg, the Presl.
dent OF the German-Amer Repub-
lican Club, and with him upon the
platform Were Daniel Dohl, Charles
Yetter, Charles Scheu, Frederick l..
Bach and others.
The orator of the evening was Jo-
seph Brucker Of Chicago, ILL.,, editor Of
the National Stats Zeitung. The in.
PRODUCTION of Mr.. Brucker by Presl-
dent Seidenberg was received with
rounds OF applause, and after they had
subsidized, Mr.. Brucker in German ex-
pressed his pleasure at meeting such
large audience OF German merican
citizens In Wilmington.
Mr.. BrucKer. launching out into the
question OF the day said that q party
must be Judged by tho way in which
1t treats the issues of the nation. II
1t acts thus ami so nine times out of
ten, then tire nine acts are those by
which the party must be Judged. The
Democratic party docs not want the
mirror OF the past held up before its
eyes. II does not wish to be remind
ed OF Calhoun and the nullitiers; Of
Its conduct In the early sixties; of its u
unwarranted action on the resumption
OF specie payment of its part In the
greenback movements OF the arch
traitor Jefferson Davis; OF its cart in
the tariiT movement, or any otner i'm. !
portant movement in the past twenty
five years.
You will never hear a DemocratIc
orator speak of the actions OF his par-.
ty in the past twenty-five years: youl
Will never hear a democratic organ.
praise II. 1t is because they are
ashamed of the past. The party has
played sorry role in national affairs,
They cannot point out one single net
of theirs which marks an Important
period In the country's history.
On tho other hand, said Mr.. Brueker.
the hearts OF the Republicans are full
OF Joy IN memory of the deeds of the
Republican party from Lincoln down
to Harrison. The Republican party
has nothing to conceal, nothing to bel
nshained OF, nothing TO apologize for.
The Democratic party is negative

Mr.. Brucker then went on to show
the great advantages of the McKInleyI
