Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1894-10-04

where the whole Democratic ticket was
endorsed by both the speakers and every
man in the audience. The attendance
was large and the enthusiasm un-
bounded.
The meeting was called to order by
John f. Campbell of the executive COM
mittee, who announced the following
officers: President, James Il. Toman;
!. Vice. President, Hiram r. Borie.
Y MIR. Toman, on taking the chair,
thanked those present for their kindness
and then introduced Victor b. Woolley
of Wilmington, who briefly alluded to
the howlings Of the Republican party at
their meeting held on Saturday night of
last week in the city of Wilmington. He
said this was the commencement of the
battle of 1894. He illustrated his re.
marks by referring to remark once
made by Napoleon, when asked which
was his greatest battle his answer being
1'My next. 1t is my future" Not less
Important is the election we are now
preparing for. This is the fight when
men can make important achievements.
He also said the party is going to work
together as unit, and the Democracy
of the State of Delaware is the hardest
TO lick in the universe" The party
which has made the greatest progress
and which has sent the greatest and
most learned men to represent our
wishes and look after our interests in
the Capitol at Washington.
A5 We have before us two good men as
our candidates, Ebe w. Tunnel for
governor and Samuel Bancroft, Jr., for
Representatives. Congress. Applause.
Continuing, the speaker said And on
the entire ticket we have good, tried
and true men, who will represent us
rightfully, fairly and justly" He asked
for an earnest support of the whole
Democratic ticket. Applause.
Taking up the Republican party it
was shown to be only for a few OF the
Lords chosen, and those few are the
j "boodle kings"
What would mean Republican
triumph in this State
1t would simply mean this Addicks
or Higgins.
And oh What a pair to draw to-
Who is Mr.. Addicks? He is man
who has no home mere. He is not of
the manor born. He is a lobbyist and
bidder for office, whose power lies in his
dollars only, and when he obtains the
same let Delaware drift into the UNI
known.
The Republicans cry hard times since
the Democrats have come into power.
And yet the Mckinley bill has been
repealed less than two months, and now
we hear of the wheels starting up and
work going on again with new vigor.
What had the Democratic party when
they started to take hold OF this govern
ment? They had nothing but several
acts, which, thank goodness, have been
repealed. The Treasury was empty and
debts hanging over us.
Chairman Toman then introduced
Mr.. John Biggs who said: 1t gives
pleasure TO look in the faces of these
Tired and true Democrats who will
bring the party to victory on the 9th of
next November Let me impress on You
the necessity of uniting and pulling
together. Then when the morning of
the 7th of November comes, the polls
may show such Democratic majority
~ that we all may be proud of it.
M Election day is u day when every
"A man considers himself an uncrowned
king. Why then should we not con.
slider what we are doing? Therefore il
behooves every man to give some time
to consider what is best for him and
his State and when he places his ballot
in the ballot box let his vote be one
that will do justice TO his conscience.
st 1t will be well for us to say on the
day of election that we not be held
under Higgins, Addicks or negro rule
simply because they cry hard times, ant
that because the Democratic party is il
power the Democrats are responsible
for it. If man has smallpox wher
the community is healthy then yor
might just as well say that the com
immunity is the cause of it, when it woult
!be unreasonable to say so, for the dis
ease is the man himself.
Look to our own State and then asl
where there is any better governed Stat,
in the Union? To whom are we in
debted for this if not the Democrats
party? Look at our schools and on
WI laws; are they not the best in the coun
4 tryP
& / must say in regard to Mr.. Bancroft
as would of Mr.. Tunnel, that he is
n man Of the highest attainments. MI
Bancroft has come into the party. Why
Because he has found the Republican
party to have gone SO far from the RICH
path that he has taken to the party VIII
~ will prove that they are the right one
in the right path.
Evan G. Boyd, your fellow-towns
man and a candidate for the Legisla
VI ture, is one OF the finest men and on
n who can be depended upon to represen
NJ the people rightly and honestly.
& Mr.. Carmichael is an upright an
~ strictly honest Democrat and is worth
A of the support of every Democrat.

speaker. He said: The Democrats ente
