The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1896-10-16
MR. GORMANS ADDRESS
TO a Monster Democratic Meeting
in Maryland's Metropolis.
DEN0UNCEs THE GOLD DEMOCRATS

made in this city for many years. Tho
enthusiasm was intense, and Mr.. German
was received with Il perfect storm Of cheers
| when he appeared upon the platform with
| United States Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, who took the place Of Senator
| Faulkner on the program, the latter be-
ing unable to attend. 1t Is asserted that
last nights meeting was second only in
! point of numbers to that which greeted
Mr.. Bryan few weeks ago in the same
| place. In his speech Mr. German said in
| part:
1.-THE great mass of our people are at
tached to their government, and they
would not tolerate any acts by individ-
uals or by parties which would tarnish
the honor of their great government. l
lay down the general proposition that no
matter which party controls this govern
ment the Union will be maintained, its
purity will be preserved, and any party
who would act otherwise would be .abso-
lutely obliterated.
Let no voter suppose for moment that
either of the great parties stand for sim
gle idea. If he attaches himself to party
it must be because, in the main, that
party's doctrine suits his ideas of the con-
troll and management Of public affairs.
eve advocate the election of Bryan and
Sewall But we do not support them
simply because they are the regular nomi-
nees. We represent them because they
represent the great principles for which
the Democratic party stands. If there are
any, and am told by the public prints
that there are some who have formerly
been with the Democratic party but who
now prefer Mckinley to Bryan, let them
go in peace.
II treat all the men who support Nc
Kinley and Hobart or Palmer and Buck
ner as first and second degree Republic
cans The first are the supporters of Nc
Kinley, who have the courage of their
convictions, and honor them as Ameri-
can citizens. The limping, hating, hesi-
tatlng, cowardly fellows who go only half
way can have no respect from anybody.
There are two branches Of boiling Demo-
Gratis in Maryland, one that hasa commit
tee of seventy and the other that has a
committee without number. The one sup
ports Mr. Mckinley outright, and the
other follows that poor old ticket that was
nominated at Indianapolis
"Now all of these Republicans and the
men that l have described charge the

more than they abused jefferson and

has outlived all of its traducers and elected
