Tonight Democratic wigwam is
to be opened and dedicated at Della
ware avenue and Scott street In the
west end of the Seventh ward, to the
uses OF the Democratic party. The
building is neat wooden structure.
capable OF holding several hundred
people and our Democratic friends de-
serve great credit for their enterprise
In building 1t. Amongst the speakers
announced to be present to make
speeches between the blare OF brass
bands, are Hon. Thomas L. Bayard.
Hon. George Gray, Hon. Charles b.
Lore and whole retlnue of the small
or fry orators OF the Democratic party.
On the other hand the masses OF
the people are expected to be there
and they no doubt will be in large
numbers. Amongst them will lie the
descendants OF various nationalities,
the American possibly predominating,
but In large numbers sure the Irish,
the German and the Italian.
The negro will be scarce, as the
hardest thing the Democratic party
over undertook was to convert negro
TO Democracy. Amonst the masses
congregated will be many tradesmen
and laborers. There will be- carpenters,
brick-layers, masons, painters, black
smiths, mill-workers, and indeed
men OF all trades. Many of them will
DO men who have left their native
lands and homes, where they could
not make wages enough to keep body
and soul together, and who have
come to this country to better their
condition because wages here, as a
general rule, are twice as high as in
European countries, and as another
general rule the cost of living here is
as low as in Europe. These men, as
another general rule, nave allied them.
selves to the Democratic party, which,
OF late years. has become impregnated
with free trade principles and is laud-
ed and praised by the free trade papers
Of England.
The free-traders OF England and the
Democratic party OF the United
States perfectly agree in antagonism
TO the Mckinley tariff. The free trad.
ers OF England want Grover Cleveland
or some other Democrat elected Presi-
dent of the United States, so do the
masses who will meet In the wigwam
tonight. The free traders of England
want to defeat President Harrison or
any other Republican who may be
nominated to be voted FOR next NoVcm
Der. SO do the Democratic masses who
will meet In that wigwam tonight.
Whatever the free-traders OF England
want, the Democrats who will meet
tonight want, and the mechanics and
both. Some of the free-trade paper.
OF England have been saying that The
only time an Irishmun WAS worth any
thing to England was wnen lie emf
grated to America and voted for free
trade by voting the Democratic ticket
These English papers knew wha
they were saying was true, beeaus,
thsIhnre it illustrated at every elcc
he Democratic party has NJ
loyal supporters than its lrisI
~1egions, and the free traders Of Eng
land have a no more loyal supporte
than the Democratic party of America
Now then, Messrs. Lore and tray ar
