DOVER, DEL, Oct. 23.-The Dover opera
house was crowded tonight with enthusi-
astic Democrats. who gathered to greet
Hon. Thomas f. Bayard. United States eni-
bassador to Great Britain. Mr.. Bayard
was greeted with tumultuous applause. He
made a lengthy speech. in which he scored
the Republicans and their policies. Speak
ing of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. surplus and
the coming into power of the Republicans
In 1889, he said:
Instantly there was enacted, upon the
demands of the influences that controlled
their party, that control their party to-day,

American industries-the Mckinley tariff
bill; and then a bill urged on by the same
principles by those who owned the mines
OF silver and were interested in their de-
