Chairman DIR. Springer next intro
duced the Hon. Edward L. Martin of
Seaford. Colonel Martin is great
fayorite with Wilmington audiences.
His fine base voice is just suited to the
needs of mammoth Democratic out
door audience such rs that of Saturday
night at Fourth and Market streets.
Colonel Martin wondered why the
Republican party of Delaware should
go outside the State or from among their
own citizens to lnok for man TO repre-
sent them in the halls of Congress.
Why is it they have to import ii man
for Senatorial h0nors? Democracy, the
speaker said, is by no means dead in
the counties of Kent and Sussex. The
truth of this will be fully proved next
November There arc some men in
Wilmington, the, speaker understood,
who oppose Samuel Bancroft because
he was once Republican Now, gem
tlemen, how many Democats were once
Republicans. LCheers.l They left the
party because they honestly judged its
principles to be wrong and they came
over to the party which, in their Judg-
ment, held the right principles.
Ebe w. Tunnel is strong favorite
not only with Democrats but with Re-
| puhlicans. 1t is rare that you see such
candidate presented to the people oi
this State. Loud cheers.l
Sussex county, gentlemen, is not IL
the market. The Republicans may senc
all the money down there they please.
IL may turn up easily here on the hare
ground, but it don't go when it strike:
our sand. [Cheers.

all that it was possible to effect unde
