The municipal campaign opened last
where the City Democratic Association
met for the purpose of organization. By 8
O'Clock the big meeting room was crowded.
1t was remarked by numbers of the old
campaigners that 1t was the largest or
ganization gathering seer for many years,
1t was enthusiastic throughout. There is
no doubt of the interest taken by the
Democrats of Wilmington in the outcome
of the approaching campaign.
Chairman John z. Dnnahoa called the
meeting to order a little after O'Clock. In
his address, which was very brief, he com
mented on the large number present us II
most gratifying indication of the interest
taken, He then stated the purpose of the
meeting to be for organization of CITY
Democrats for the coming campaign.

| lie said in effect = have nn hesitation
! IN expressing my opinion Of the 3llt.uua
! for the GGming campaign. While Wuat
| not say anything that might tend to dis
! courage our party. yet | think. were til,
| Republican party without the tuctiplla
| disputes and divisions that feni Il last
| now believe we wOdlu lhtSe . uard tlmt
to win victory. But since the Rcpubllcar
i party is in power and that that power has
I been won by corruption. especially IN S.Is
! sex county, the condiMnna and reSuit'
| that have developed have tended, nt
4 doubt, to dishcarten thoroughly III,
larger share of tine Republicans. TIM
| has been intensified still more in til
4 fact that the representatives of til
i party at Dover have demonstrated the
| thorough inability to reap the benefits o
| their victory and elect a United state
/ Senator. The better element OF the Re
| publican party, many OF them indie
, pendents, have become Disguised Will
| their leaders. Then again. We find til,
party hopelessly split up. Considering al
these things | think we may take heart
For these reasons the prospect for us i
bright. What We have to do is to noninat
clean, honest men; men belonging To III
faction; men whom all Democrats car
vote for. Gentlemen. if we do this ant
see to it thar all those who have right Il
vote, poll their votes, and that we poll
full vote. think we will win at the com
ing election (Cheers.)
