States Senate, and supplementing them
with additional Senators from Demo-
cratic States, this work can be con-
tinued. We must have the House of
Representatives next year, and the
Democrats from Delaware may decide
whether it shall be Democratic or not,
We must have Democratic Senate dur
ing the next Congress, and the Senator
from Delaware may determine that.
lDELAwARE's ABLE STATESMEN.
Y II is. not my province or desire to
appeal to Democratic voters of the State
OF Delaware. You have been Democrats
almost back to the time whereof the
memory Of man runneth not to the con.
trary. Your Senators in the halls OF
Congress have raised their voices in
favor Of equality of all citizens before
the law when it was regarded almost
as treason to speak in behalf of human
liberty. No State in all the galaxy of
the States of this Union has better
right to be proud of the men who sat in
the Congress of the United States than
have the people of Delaware. And we
may say the same as to your Representa-
tiVes in Congress. 1t is true that your
statesmen have not been SO numerous
as compared with those of New York
and some of the larger States, but they
have been statesmen true in all the past,
as | believe they will be in all time to
come. Applause.
You hold your State convention to-
day; you select your Democratic ticket;
| you buckle on your armor for the fray,
and unless mistake, this crowd, on the
morning OF the election, as | turn my
| eye to the dispatches from the States,
shall be more than surprised if | do not
read that Democratic Representative
and Democratic Legislature have been
elected by the Democrats of the State Of
Delaware. Applausel.
| | am satisfied that your committee
are waiting to report. know that this
| convention is now waiting to complete
its work, and having tired your patience
and exhausted your good nature, de-
sire to thank you for your kind atten'
ton, and to say to you that take my
scat as spectator to the end of this
convention, and leave your State to
night for the purpose of going home
and telling the Democrats of Kentucky
"if you don't do your duty, Delaware
will take the banner from you in thi:
fight" Applause.l
thank you for your kindly greeting
voice, go onl go on and if you Dc
what think you will do IN November
shall consider this the best spent day
so far as l am concerned, of the goot

year of 1894, not because my presence
in Delaware was necessary to encourage
the Democracy of Delaware, but because
the Democracy of Delaware gave me re-

of Democratic principles

speech repeatedly, and when he con
cluded the convention gave him three
cheers.

After alluding at length TO the bene-
fits he thought would follow in the wake

THE SENATE NOT TO BLAME.

The bill, imperfect and Objectionable
as doctrinaires claim ii to be, breaks the
backbone of the protective combination
that has controlled legislation for more
than 80 years. The wooden schedule, if
il stood alone, might be regarded as a
most important victory in the line of
tariff reform. 1t may be, the Senate bill
does not meet the approval in all its
schedules, in all its sections and in all
its details, of Democrats, Populists or
Republicans. But if such test be
proper and reasonable one, then 1t is
certain no tariff bill acceptable to the
people has ever been enacted. 1t was
stated on the floor of the Senate lin
reply to question by your own dis
tinquished Senator Gray,) by one who
knows whereof he speaks, the Senator
from Texas (Mr. Mills), that this bill
more nearly approaches the revenue
standard than did the Mills bill of 1888,
and that the duties imposed are lower
than those proposed by that bill. Yet

SECRETARY SMITH TALKS
He Tells of the Georgia Election and Explains Why There Seems Such
 aPopulist Gain.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-Secretary Hokc Smith, who has just returned from Gsor- gia, speaking today Of the recent Georgia election, said: The state ticket has been elected by between 30, 900 and s5, ,ooo major ity. Itis manifestly unIair to compare this election with the state election in 1892, when Governor Northen received major ity of 6S, 009. Then the republican state convention declined to indorse the popuiist candidates aud failed to put out any candi- dates ot their own. The colored teachers convention indorsed Gov. Northen. Gov. Northen therefore was not opposed by the republicans, but on the contrary was supported by the majority of them. Inthe presidential election of 1892 both the re- pnbiieans and populists, had tickets in the field, aud the democratic majority was 3S, = GOO, only 5000 more than the majority In the recent election. Al This year the republican state convention indorsed the popuistss and the arepublicans voted almost solidly for thelr ticket. It is but fair that the comparisons should be made with the democratic majority in the preside tial election. This shows difference of only 5000, and be- lieve this will be accounted for by the light vote boiled. It is an interesting fact that the state committee did not spend $2000 in the entire campaign. It is noticea 1ie that no reduction Of majorities took place in the districts where the fight was conducted with platform defending sound cur rn

Grasped an Idea of Our Size.
 Comedian William F. Hoey once en- countcred a distinctly ingenious British CT. The comedian formed his acquaintance during ono of the Lucania's incoming voy- ages, and the two brcakfasted in New York together.

 ''Yes, my brother, explained the Eng lishman. I've two here. Harry lives in San Francisco and Charlie in Chicago"
 But you'll be back for dinner2" face tiously quizzed Hoey.
 The Britisher took him seriously "Sure for dinner il not for lunch, " he answered And, accompanied by the actor, now thor oughly alive to the humor of the incident, he found himself few minutes later in the line of ticket buyers in the Grand Central depot.
 An excursion ticket to San Francisco, stopping at Chicago station on return," he ordered
 The ticket agent put about quarter of mile of pastcboard under his stamp pound Ing it for minute or moro, thrust it be- fore the explorer and expectantly awaited payment.
 ''When does the train go?'' asked the Englishman.

 "How much is it?''
 ''One hundred and thirty-eight dollars and fifty cents. ''
 ''Whats' tho Englishman gasped. '"How far is it?''

 ''Old Hoss'' was right behind to catch the falling form, and, as he guided the half fainting Englishman back to the cab, whcro he snuggled helplessly in corner, tho single exclamation escaped, What countryl''-New York Times.
