DOVER, Aug. 30 The Democracy of
Delaware has named its standar rd-
bearers. They are Ebe w. Tunnel. Of
Sussex county. for governor, and Samuel
Bancroft, Jr., Of New Castle county, for
Congress- Notwithstanding the heavy
lighting done in caucus, there was not
even ripple In the convention to indi-
cate IL, and the nominations were made
by scclamstion. There has not been a
convention held in recent years in which
there was so much interest and enthu-
siasm manifested.
Called to order BY Handy
The convention was called to order at
2 o'clock by Chairman L, Irving Handy, of
the State Central Committee. In opening
he said that, Notwithstanding his defeat
for the Congressional nominal ion, he
was as much as ever a Democrat. and
would stand unfalteringly by its princi-
pies, no matter whether he were under
the rosy bower of victory or beneath the
willows Of defeat.
Ex Congressman. John Pennington, of
Dover, was made temporary chairman and
the committees on credentials, permanent
organization and platform. named by the
three caucuses were reported by the
county chairman aud ratified by the
convention.
Senator Lindsey's Great Speech.
The several committees retired, an d,
in their absence. Chairman Pennington
introduced Senator Lindsey, of Ken
tucky, who made a powerful speech in
defense of the present tariff bill and
those Senators who. by their. loyalty, Sc.
cured its enactment despite the obstacles
thrown in the way by Senator Hill and
his fellow obstructionists. The speech
WAS, in part, as follows;
"FRTEnDs AND FELLOW DEMocRATs:- =

Delaware too much for the cordial
reception have met with here to-day.

rassment superinduced by two causes
First, knew that l would speak to an
audience that had drank in words of
wisdom and Democracy from a long line
of statesmen that Delaware has given to
the country, whose names add lustrs to
| the list Of our great men, and will never
be forgotten go long as the people Of the
! United States adhere to the principles OF
Democracy. Then my colleague Senator
| Blackburn) had been here before me and
knew that he had excited expectations
of Kentucky oratory that I could ny no
means satisfy; ard, therefore.I felt, that,
do the best might, / could not leave
the state without leaving with the good
people certain sense Of disappoint
ment

embarrassment, and that is that an
here to speak of Democratic dissensIons
as well as OF Democratic successes For
though the first regular session Of (
Democratic Congress for many years hal
just adjourned, yet we carry home will

"The great, crowning atrocity of clss
legislation, that we promised in Juns
1892 at Chicago. to destroy, died las
night at 10 o'clock, and to-day we liv
under the operation of the first Demo
cratic tariff bill that has stood upon ou
statute books in 3Oyears. Applause an
