w. w. Cooper, John Montgomery, Chris
TOPPER White, Thomas Iolcnmb and b. Il.
Lancaster. The hall was filled with en-
thusiastic Democrats. Chairman Phillips,
who introduced the speaker made n neat
address. Mr.. Woolley's remarks, which
| dwelt briefly on the registration and cleo
| ton laws Of Delaware, thetariT and Force
| bill, aroused much enthusiasm, and he
was frequently interrupted by loud and
continued applause.
He said that it was the first duty of
| tNtIy l'tulbCTit W StI TbSiSbtTtu anu tnG
| next duty was to see that his neighbor
| was also on the qualified voters list. The
new law was passed for the sole purpose
| of promoting honest elections and the
| purity Of the ballot and Democrats do not
need fear this year repetition Of the das-
tardly acts Of the Republican machine in
i Wilmington during the election of 1850,
when it WAS proven that as high as II
negroes voted from one little house i'll a
| negro quarter. In reference to the Me-
| hinley bill he stated that il was supposed
to change the wages of the country in
favor of the workingman, but in not one
instance have the protected industries paid
their employees more than was paid before
the passage of the bill. The Force bill
WAS denounced i'll the hitterest terms.
The passage of il simply meant that the
| voters OF Delaware or any other state, had
not intelligence or honesty enough to con-
duct an election, but, If necessary, a per-
son from Illinois or some other far away
state could be sent here to supervise it,
That is the law for which Delawares Re
publican Senator voted and for which the
hnnored Democratic Senator voted against
and sincerely trust that every Democrat
here tonight will do his part toward re-
turning MIR. Gray to the United States
Senate
Mr.. Handy followed. As political
orator he has always ranked high in the
minds of the New Castle people. His ad-
dress was fully up to the standard and the
enthusiasm he created among the audience
proves conclusively that he can hold the
attention of his hearers as long rs any
other political speaker that has ever been
heard here He said that the Democratic
party was in the best of shape throughout
the State to-day, and Delaware would I'M
doubleday cast her vote for the Democratic
standard-bearers Cleveland and Stevenson.
He reviewed the work of the Republican
Levy Court aud scored the doingS of the
| partyin the county and State In reference
to the Mckinley bill, the speaker clearly
proved to the audience how it protected
the few which are the Republican mil
lionairc capitalists. and left the many, the
dnwn-trodden workinEmen, to take care
Of themselves, and every wageearner in
this country certainly votes against his
own interest, his home and his Oppor-
tunities when lie votes against Grover
Cleveland. He related many funny, but
pointed anecdotes Of how Republicans had
been cheated and fooled by the fraud OF
protection, which makes the rich richer
and the poor poorer. The race question
in the schools was well defined and h
J predicted that Republican victory il
, Delaware meant that both white ant
, black children should attend the SAM
schools, AS they do in every Republican
, state IA the union. The address closed witt
. a glowing tribute to Grover Cleveland ant
= prophecy that he would once more hole
the reins Of government.
At the close of the meeting committee
. composed of James Il. Toman, John II
> Lambson and William W. Cooper was ap
pointed to select five delegates to til
: National League of Democratic Clubs
which meets in New York city this week

the Young Mems Democratic Club of thi
city: James b. Toman, b. f. Lancaster
| II. W, Herbert, ii. Holschumaker and J
u. Phillips.
