The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1895-05-18


Ono hundred young Republic OF this
city attended the meeting In the Buildsrs'
Exchange Last night and formed them-
selves into an organization which has for
Its object an active work in the coming
city campaign. Permansnt organization
was not effected however. but the organi-
cation will be Oh Tuesday night Of next
week.
James keenan, was chos en- chairman OF
the meeting and he called upon Hugh @.
Browne. who stated the OBJECT OF the
gathering. which was tho forming OF an
association entirely separate from the
ward clubs and to formulate plan OF
practical action between now and June 1.
Mr.. browne said there was certain po'
lltieRl Influence among young men which
there was not among the older politicians
and IL was this particular influence which
Is needed 10 be exerted at the present
time.
william S. Hilles followed Mr. Browne
Ia speech which brought forth much en-
thusiaem. The Republican party he said
10 day has better prospects for success at
the polie OF the country than 1t Las had
tor years. The work depsnds greatly.
although, upon the young voters. 80 from
the beginning he heartily endorsed the
object OF the meeting. In Delaware II tho
Republican party would take advantage
OF It's present opportunities Its futu re
would DO brighter than 1t has ever been.
All parties have an element in them with
out which they would be better.
Tho Democratic party bae 10. OF men
1t has been trying for years to GUST. They
are only In the party for what they get
out OF II and not for Its principle. OF the
principles OF the party they are ashamed.
Yet there are some honest Democrats but
even these have fear OF Democratic rule.
The politics of Delaware have become
corrupt, and the speaker told the young
men to nlwnys ehun the class where the
corruption existed. Honest and decent
politics arc wantad and more so In Della
ware than any state In tho Uuion. Then
will come true political success and this
should mean moro to the young men than
those who have always worked for that
which Is right
Horace Greeley Knowles In openi nR his
address said there seemed to lie a lack of
opportunity for certain clsse OF Repub.
ileane TO exercise what inclination or abili.
~ they possessed for political work and
the forming OF the organization was to
bring Just those men together. The mem
bers OF the Young Mems Republican Club
aud other ward organizations was partly
restricted in both number aud qualitica
ton, but tho proposed club would leave
no barrier to the young Republicans or
the city.
with only certain principles the party
can nope to succeed aud these principles
II exercised at this campaign will show
themselves In elections for years to come.
We have met with more advsfsities than
perhaps any party has been subjected to
III SO short period. But we should not
be discouraged. When Judas IsGariot
betrayed the Christ 1t did not put an end
TO Christianity; when benedict Arnold
proved traitor 1t did not discourage the
early Americans. SO with Delaware Re-
publican politics. Her principles are
right ind true and before them bribery
treachery anu characterization must bow.
His speech was the last one. MIR.
Browle then nominated the following ex-
ecutiye committee:
James keeuan. George W. Sparks. James
Kitchens. Alton q. Pyle. Horace Greeley
Knowles and Thomas Greer. MIR. Knowles
nominated Hugh G. BROWNE, and his
name was added to the list.
The committee nftefward held meet
ing and male MIR. Brown presli ent
and Mr. Knowles secretary.
IL Is expected that when formed the
organization will number one thousand
young men.
