l.. irving Handy Addresses a Spirited
Democratic Gathering at Milford-Sen-
ator Gray mt Dover.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
MILFORD, Oct. l0.-The Democrats Of
Milford hundred Kent county, and Cedar
Creek hundred, Sussex county, held joint
meeting in Dorsey's Hall last night. The
meeting was called to order by j. 0. Truitt,
member OF the county committee, who
proposed the following officers President,
DR. Nathan Pratt; Vice-Presidents, S. n,
Cray, William n. Powders, Philip Griffin,
George c. Abbott, N. X. Stayton, Hon.
John w. Causey and S. G. Fisher; secre-
tary, George Reynolds.
DR.. Pratt introduced State Chairman l..
Irving Handy as the orator of the even.
ing Mr.. Handy spoke for an hour and Il
half, and the audience gave him unflag
gins attention, and emphasized his points
by frequent and heaity applause.
He called attention to the dignity and
Importance of the sovereign act Of voting
The Democrats enter this campaign with
the confidence of victorious veterans
They have made good use Of the power
entrusted to them two years ago. Not
only was the Force bill made impossible
Forever by Democratic triumph. but every
vestige of the old Federal Election law has
been removed.
The Mckinley bill was repealed in a
months shorter time than it required the
Republicans To enact it. The new tariff
put in its place is good tariff. 1t has re-
duced burdens at every point. Under its
provisions, business leaped to its feet and
started on new career of prosperity.
The Mckinley tariff reduced prices SO
low for all a farmer has to SELL and made
them so high for all he had TO buy that the
farmers were ground to powder. Their
| purchasing power was destroyed, and their
poverty was one great cause of the panic.
No Democrat ever promised to make
wheat $l.25 a bushel. That is simply d
| Gratis did promise to lift burdens from the
farmers shoulders, and that promise has
| been kept
In closing he asked the voters to strike
blow for their own interests. Strike not
| with sword or spear, but use Il weapon
with Il little wooden handle and smaller
rubber blade; and the place to strike is the
little square beside the plow, the emblem
Of Nle Democratic purity on the official
ballot.
The meeting was pronounced one of the
best ever held i'll Milford.

LITTLE GREER POLITICS.

Democratic Meeting = The Handsome
Democratic Band Wagon : Trying to
Get Out the Mnrvii Organ.
Special Correspondence of Gazette and journal
LAUREL, Oct. 24.-The Democratic
campaign was regularly opened yester-
day by a rousing meeting at Ralph's
store. Laurel Military Band dispensed
music and addresses were delivered nv
Hon. W. II. Boyce and Prof. w. w.
Knowles, superintendent of public
schools for this county.
Before leaving Laurel the band gave
a sercnade in front of the Laurel House
and their selections were rendered in a
mastery manner. To-day there will be
meeting in the afternoon at Bethel
and big meeting and free oyster roast
| at Grays Branch at night.
The new band wagon was not used
yesterday, as the paint was not thor
oughly dry, but it will be put in use to-
day and will be on the road every day
except Sundays until the campaign
| closes. 1t is indeed thing of beauty"
and by comparison casts deep shadow
upon the muoh-lauded Republican
wagon. The entire work, including
gliding and landscape scenes, was exc
cuted by Laurel artisans and artists.
The Republicans expect to open their
regular campaign to-day with meet
| ing at Frankford. Their committee
! have been out to meet every south
bound train this week, to receive their
musicians, who are said to have been
| hired in Wilmington, but up to last
night they had not arrived. 1t is now
reported that they came to Laurel on
the might line
The Republicans are discouraged.
| There is not the same confidence in their
| manner that was evident earlier in the
campaign, but their old bribery schemes
arc still being tried at every apparent
opportunity, and there is an earnest
