stands upon the principal so admirably enun
a. eiated by President Harrison, that every dol
lar. whether of gold, silver or paper, mnst b.
i made aud kept as good as every other dollar
It believes that the only cure for the ills nov
/. arising from the monetary condition of tn
r commercial world is the full restoration o
silver as money metal, which can be accom-
plished only by the joint action of the ma
= tons. and not by the isolated free coiuaec
OF silver by the United States alone, and We
express the sincere hope that the inter,
national conference called by President Har.
rison will arrive at a safe solution Of this
t most serious problem.
RIVERS AND HARBoRs
5 We believe in the liberal exercise of the
power ard duty of the Federal Government
to deepen and maintain the rivers and har.
bors Of the country: that no object for the
use Of money raised by taxation is more
just and wise, and we recognize the large
Interests OF every portion Of our state therein
because ofthe character and location Of our
rivers.
We also trust that by the election of
Republican Congress we NAV secure the
enactment Of the Frye" Tonnage Shipping
Dill WHEREBY american shipping relieved
from the present discrimitiou created by
the subsidies granted by foreign countries
to their ships, may be restored to the sea.
and that Delaware's peculiar interest Of
shiPbuilding may be promoted and ad.
vanced.
HARRIsoN's ADMINISTRATION.
We commend to the fair-minded people
OF the State, Of all parties, the wise, Judi
eious hrm aud economical administration of
] Benjamin Harrison Under II at all times
and in several trying episodes the national
nonor has been maintained and our national
prestige advanced. The laws have been
hrmiy enforced, the revenues honestly col
lected and expended, appointments to ofIiced
have been notably free from scandal. genuine |
economy has been maintained in all branch |
es OF the service, and now, Since a Demo |
ratio House Sof Representa- es has made /
larger appropriations than ever before in the /
history Of the country, we hear no more of
the cry "billiOn-dollar Congress"
With great emphasis we renew the de.
mand always made and never abandoned bv
the Republican party Of the nation. and al
the state OF Delaware for honest elections

tain It's character as a government by the
people, acting through an honesty ascertain
ed majority, and not government of a mi
noltyi an oulous oigarchY, maintaining il
sell IN power through force and fraud
We believe that the long reign of such
wickedness in all the Southern States as
well as IN the State of Delaware IS COMING
to its end, and not through the enactment Of
further Federal statutes, useful and valuable
as the one now on the books is but through
the revolt IN the states themselves of their
people against the Infamous state force laws
ana their worse administration. BY which
popular government has been overthroVn I
