ed with deafoning applause, which

congratulated his fellow Republicans
that for four years more we will llvel
| under the wise administration OF
| President Harrison" Applause re
douhled.l
When Harrison was first nominatedl
he was comparatively unknown, butt
| he has been found to fulfill every re
qulslte, and the bark OF state will be
| under no unknown pilot. The augu
ries are suspicious that we will have al
Republican Congress in both houses
aud that the country will continue to|
have the gracious fruits Of the Mckin.
ley bill. We belong to a party that
believes In looking to the interest oil
our country. We believe that charity
begins at home. We are not afraid to
put in the forefront of the battle PRO
lection to American industry andl
labor"
II congratulate tho Republican,
party OF the State OF Delaware, county
| of New Castle and city of Wilmington
| for the fight IL has made in tho last
two years. 1t mas fought for a chance
to stand up and he counted and 1t has
gained IL. l congratulate you upon
the prospect that this state will cast
Its vote Tor Harrison and Reid. EN-
thuslasm.l That il will send to rep
resent 1t an eloquent, worthy and
honest gentleman, Jonathan S. Willis,
to succeed the man who misreDre-
sents 1t. l congratulate you that the
augurieS are suspicious for carrying
one or both OF the lower counties.
LApplause.l
HIGGINS SCORES RAYARD. -
Senator Higgins referred to the In.
famous tax collection laws OF twenty
years ago. and said what n Disgrace
upon the man who framed them, what
badge OF dishonor they were.
1.-The walls Of calumny and vitupera.
ton have been east upon me by the
Democratic press. l have made a
statement in answer, to these attacks.
and so far as those papers go l have
nothing furtherato say / have stood
such attacks before and / can stand
them now. But an attack has been
made upon mo from a man who stands
| high In the Democratic party OF the
State and who has held high station
In The nation.
mo President of the United States
who has ever had lin as secretary of
state will be fool enough to have him
| again. lie Will never represent Della
ware in the Senate again. When n
think that this man drew up that por.
| ton OF the laws to which | have re.
| ferred by which our people were dis.
franGhised, when l think how this man
used the patronage OF Grover Glove
land TO influence votes In the Della
ware Legislature in the contest for the
senaturship when think Of his other
outrageous acts, / come 10 the con
clusion that he has not in this com
munity the moral StdtHr, that would
Justify a reply from me-
[ApplluSe, long continued
After the applause died away three
hearty cheers were given for 8lr. Hig-
gins,
Hugh G. Browne was then introduce
ed In response TO the cry Of his name
Mr.. Browne said tho black llnger of
British free trade lowering over tho
coast was as bad as the black finger of
the Aslatic cholera. Shall tho Ameri-l
can citizen vote for the admission of
that plague that will turn our busy
cities into grass.grown narts? IL re-
mains for the people to say whether
free trade which means ruin TO Amerl-l
can industries, shall exist.
When Abe Lincoln was nominated It'll
meant that labor was to be uigniiled |
The Republican party is the only or
| ganization that ever recognized thel
worth of labor. The record of theI
Democratic party is against the mani
who earns his living by the sweat of
| his brow, 1t has insisted that labor
must be cheap. and cheap labor meansI
cheap men.
One example Of the insults to the
workingmen of the city OF Whining
4 ton Is right on Market street.
All are familiar with long lines OF
men standing along Market street
from the tax office. Dlckey Will not
sit in the evening, and he knows that
workmen cannot some at other times
without loss. We talk about freedom
under the stars and Stripes, but right
here in this state we have for years
been cheated and defrauded OF thu
right to vote.
The Republican party has every.
thing noble In its history. He com.
pared the parties to two maidens.
As the eagle screamed at the triu mpl
of the homans. 80 let 1t scream to
morrow at the triumph Of the Repub
licans OF Delaware. He admonsiheC
the people not to he scared or bull
dozed by circulars issued by q Demo
cratic chairman, for they would b
backed up in every legitimate acti on
Ma yor Stansbury J. Wiley said lie
publican success means the trump
fof the Mckinley bill. the triumph OF
an honest dollar, the triumph OF
American labor. The Republican party
does not beg for its rights. but do
mands them. Every man who has
right TO vote should insist upon hi
right, and l propose to have some
thing to do with that morrow.
Mayor Wiley said he had received 0
letter from friend in Louisiana say
ing If Delaware goes Republican for
Gods sake telegraph me-" Governor
Mckinley said II Delaware goes Re-
| publican he will give us chrome and
the major wants to wire him tonight
to send 1t. Republican victory means
