ANY PARTICULARLY STRONG
POINTS AGAINST THE GAS MAN.
Levi c. Bird, Robert G. Houston and
John c. Higgins were speakers last
night at a big assemblage OF regular
Republicans at the Auditorium. 1t was
an enthusiastic assemblage, composed
mostly OF Republican clubs, and every
good point made by the speaker was
enthusiastically and continuously
cheered
Mr. Bird was the first and principal
speaker. He began by outlining the
issues of the campaign, stating first
that he wished particularly to talk to
Democrats, as the Republicans would
all vote right anyhow.
After discussing the money question
In all It's phases, from a Republican
standpoint Mr.. Bird took occasion to
denounce j. Edward Addicks in very
strong terms, ,amongother things saying
that the support of Addlcks was not
Republlcanism but Addickssm.
William II. Foulk was the chairman
Of the meeting, and on the stage with
him were Mr.. Bird, Robert G.. Houston.
regular Republican candidate for Con-
gress John G. Higgins, regular Re-
publican candidate for governor; e. T.
Warner and Richard Patzowsky.
In part Mr. Bird said
There is not a man with a dollars
worth OF property who did not breathe
/ freer when the Chicago convention ad-
| journed It's action was almost like
the firing upon Fort Sumter. It was
new for the Democratic party to speak
OF overthrowing the highest court OF
| appeal in the land
A new element was recognized at
Chicago. the element of Altgeld OF
Debs, OF house burners, OF communists,
OF socialists. OF bomb-throwers. of an
archists, OF Populists. William u.
Russell. that magnificent young man,
left that convention for his home to
lay down his life for lost cause
Democrats, are you willing to join
hands with Altgeld2 Who is this man2
Think who he is When blood flowed
In Chicago, when women and children
were being cut down and property de-
stroyed, and the president OF the
United States sent Federal troops to
queli II, he was denounced by Altgeld
and the Chicago convention. Are you
/ willing to accept the leadership OF
Tillman, who prides himself on stir
ring up sectional memories? DO you
want Debs? III Bryan were elected
president. who would be his advisers?
! What voice would Gray and such
! Democrats as he have? DO you hear OF
= Morgan or the other leaders OF the
e Democratic party being with Bryan2
|. Altgeld and Tillman are the leaders.
r and If Bryan Is elected they will be his
a advisers

they belong. Stand lOng-haired
r whelp, with his arms going, on the
Z corner and he Is for Bryan. Show a
/ man who is always prating Of taxes
and never pays any, he is for Bryan.
! A man who is in favor of disorder will
not vote for Mckinley.
There Is but one Republican party
In Delaware. and that party is the one
which nominated these gentlemen.
Messrs Higgins and Houston, as its
candidates for governor and represen-
tative In Congress.
There Is another party that calls it.
self Republican. But it is a one mans
party. Two years ago the Republicans
carried this state and controlled the
/, Legislature. A Republican senator was
, needed, and Republicans prayed for his
election. Addicks said: IF l cannot
be elected, no one shall" The various
, elements united and offered him Colo
Z. mel Dupont, an honorable man with an
b honorable name; a man whose grand

and who himself fought for her But
l. he said no. Yet there are Republicans
i'm this state who are seeking TO elect
n ticket to send him to the Senate. Are
you going to make the qualification for
b that office that a man must have
7 money. A party built on such foun-
= dation will rot and fall. What would
John NJ. Clayton say? What will you

e United States2 Are you going to lei
i: people point at the senator from this
% state and say: He bought his way
here" This cannot be. There is an
army OF men whom money cannot buy
(, There is too much manhood to permit
