The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-08-19

din ring In many essentials from any
that had been held In the State for
many years before. In the first place
a strong component part was the large |
number OF earnest young men who |
had never before taken an active part |
in the politics OF the State, while at
the same time it was most gratifying
TO see 80 many OF the old silver haired
veterans present who had never finch
ed in the face Of battle, he 1t for them
or against them. since the Democratic
usurpatton commenced more than
thirty yenrs ago. While the aged have
not lost the spirit OF the cause, the
young men have caught the true Re-
publican spirit and are as determined
to carry on the great fight for State
reform and purity In elections until
victory shall perch upon their BAN
ners. The meeting of the State Re.
publican League tho night before the
invention was most excellent idea.
/ was as 1t were the eve before the
battle and gave the Republicans all
opportunity OF getting into most ex-
client frame Of political mind that
gave tile convention to follow good
spirited start off that showed no war
ming to tho close.
Another and more notable incident
that added to the interest of the occa-
sion, was the entire absence OF un-
friendly feeling amongst the dele
gates. Factional differences were
things not known nor thought about,
aud peace aud harmony marked the
proceedings from tile beginning to
the ending of tho convention, yet in
oil that was said and done there was
the manly determination exhibited of
party contendlng for the sacred
rights that had been dishonesty held
from them for II long series of years
Another thing noticeable is the spirit
and determination of the resolutions
that were passed. They We're no un-
meaning tumble and play OF words.
but expressed the honest convictions
OF q wronged party and of honest
men. Not Il resolution was passed
that Is not strongly endorsed by the
history OF tine past and actions Of tho
DenocINtic party Of the present. The
administration of President Harrison
is endorsed iii the strongest language.
There was no hesitation in endorsing
IhI Mckinley tariff bill ana showing
that under it already labor was better
paid than ever before, that The prices
for living were less, and that the
prices FOX produce had increased.
There was no installing the hearth
ross with which an honest dollar, be II
either gold, silver or paper was en-,
dorsed, and the deepest disgust and
contempt was exhibited for the wild,
cat state banks recommended in the
Democratic Chicago platform. Reel
procity, the lIandmttden oil projections
was uppinuded, and protection tC
American shipping that would be
boon Tor Delaware was heartily com
mended.
In state and local affairs the resolu
tons speak out in no IL nIneaning para
graphs. There is no installing til
heartiness with which the need OF
constitutional convention was SO
forth and the demand made for III
