Hcmphill's Band discoursed some
merry strains and then Chairman Feukcl
arose and made brief Introductory adj
dress. His reference to the candidates
evoked loud applause. He closed with
introducing Branch II. Giles.
Mr.. Giles was received with very
warm applause. He reminded hisaudi-
ence of the good work accomplished by
the German Democrats Of Wilmington
in 1892 cheers.
The Republicans, he said, now tell us
that that Overwhelming Democratic VIC
tory was not one Of sober thought and
that now in 1894 1t will be reversed.
Mr.. Giles spoke of the great Demo-
cratic principles of personal liberty and
of the franchise. He condemned Re-
publican Protection as fraud. There
should be a tariff for revenue only, for
defraying the expenses OF Il government
economically administered.
The speaker then rehearsed the i'm
portant legislation accomplished in the
brief time the Democratic administration
had opportunity of rectifying Republic
can blunders.
Mr.. Giles made IN eloquent appeal to
his audience TO follow the liberty loving
and independent iutuitions of their his
toric German ancestry, whose love OF
popular equality first inspired the
nations of Europe in the paths of
national freedom. The principles of
Democracy alone maintain those teach
ings and insist on equal rights and
opportunities for all, with class fayors to
none. Loud cheers.
He closed his address in another APP
peal TO the Germans Of the city to re-
peat their successful work of 1899 in
vigorous effort for the election of the
Democratic ticket in this city. Loud
cheers.
Chairman Fuekel then introduced DR..
Joseph II. Senner, Commissioner OF
Immigration Of New York.
The appearance Of the orator of the
evening evoked the heartiest applause
from his fellow countrymen.
DIR. Senner is an intellectual looking
man, stalwart, and rather of the college
professor style.
He has an easy but terse and vigorous
style of oratory which seemed immedi.
ately to take with the audience. He did
not exert his voice In the least. But
every word was heard at the farthest
end Of the hall.
His references to the absurdity of the
Republican claims of protection to
American labor, which DIR. Senner
emphasized with pointed sarcasm
elected repeated approval. The audi.
ence cheered his references to Cleveland,
and in turn to Bayari, Gray and the
Democratic candidates whose names
were applauded frequently.
The speaker paid special attention TO
the tariff Inconsistencies and to Cover
nor McKinley's reckless arguments in
itsfayor.
DIR. Senner was constantly cherred
throughout his address. The comment
upon it last night was that it is the
finest political Grafton ever delivered in
German in this city.
Victor B. Woolley was then intro
duced by Chairman Fuekel.
The speaker expressed his extreme
qualification over the evidont fact that
the German Democrats arc entering so
heartily into the campaign. With such
honest and intelligent corporation with
the city Democracy, the party might
well be sanguine of results.
He was reminded of the saying of the
late Chief Justice of this State that the
Democrats of Delaware arc the easiest
people in the world to be scared during
u campaign. But they are the hardest
to beat.
He spoke of the seriousness of the
present election. The questions at stake
are such rs to call for the aid of every
German Democrat in Wilmington. The
Democratic party of Delaware has
always sent to Washington men of in
tegrity, honor and intelligence. The
speakers reference to the names of
Tunnel and Bancroft was the signal
for quick and loud applause all over
the hall.
In the previous campaign, when the
speaker and his friend, Mr.. Giles, as II
committee from the Young Mems
Democratic Club, asked the representa-
tives of the Young Mems Republican
Club, whom they met in conference for
that purpose, for aid in bringing out
the vote for Il constitutional convention
the Republicans neither attempted nor
accomplished anything.
