Now Peter ]. Ford has taken the stump
for the Democrats. After seeing the hor'
nets nest which they had stirred up, that
astute and free silver fog horn shouter,
| John f. Salisbury became frightened and
| got several of Peters most Intimate
| friends to coax him to turn In and help
| save the stats from the wicked Republi'
| cans. He spoke at Willow Grove. on
Wednesday, night and will speak at Fred
| erica tonight.
The Republicans down in Kent and
| SUISSE counties are working like beavers,
while tho Democrats are taking very little
heart In the coming contest Money for
| one thing Is lacking, there never was less
| OF this necessary article in any campaign
In Delaware before.
Thomas v Cooper senior editor Of the
| Media American and Charles Emory
| Smith addressed meeting of Republicans
At Chester, last evening.
John Wanamaker made one of his char
acteristlc speeches at Kenneth Square, Pa,
last evening. He said President Cleve'
land had stood like granite against the
freq coinage Of silver. Private business
has been stopped, banks broken, railroads
| have gone into receivership, enterprises
failed and our relations with foreign pow.
ers have been disturbed in time of no
| war, petilence OF famine. What's the
| NATTER
The trick of some men calling them
selves Republicans would put the devil to
shame. They are beyond the comprehen.
sion of any decent respectable men, and
they are being done by men who would
have the community believe they are re.
| spectacle members Of society. We will
publish some Of their tricks and names IN
u few days II they do not cease their Of
| fensiveness.
1t is hard to please everybody when
writing for newspaper One man says
his say another man tells you the opposite
| is the right thing to do, while athird don
know his own mind.
Martin Burris can tell you what disrep.
table tricks some of the Democratic Of.
| aciala are up to. They would put the
heather Chinee to shame.
We can't see how Hugh Browne and
| General james II Wilson can both be
Chairman of the Republican State Central
Coinmittee?The General Is rather otfcous
He is now ex-Chairman, and Hugh is
Chairman, But still some people like to
cling to greatness and the General is one
| of them.
Levi G.. Bird wants to get off as one of
the delegates to the Constitutional Con
| ventiOn and suggests the placlug of Will
lam S. Hills name in his place.
| Mark A. Hanna, has sent over his
signature In a letter addressed to Jonathan
| s. Willis.
That he (Hanna) has made no pro-
misses of patronage in Delaware to any
| body. That the loyalty of Republicans In
Delaware will not defeat, the great cause
for which every one is striving and sacrfic
| ing 81 much That he has tried to be
fair and honorable to all Republicans,
and proposes to keep so to the end
Congressman Willis, John II. Hoffecker
and Walter Hayes addressed Republic
can meeting at Middletown on last eve
| ming.
Wecan see what the Gas Company has
got to do with Addcks or his so called
methods In other words it is root, hog
or die.
Congressman Willis in the Republican
| Democratic paper last evening says; That
he has never favored free silver coinage,
and does not favorit, and does not expect
ever to favor it, except on basis Of an in
ternntional agreement, That he stands
| on the platform adopted by the Union
Republican party at St. Louis, in June
last. But with all this the Congressman
knows that with two Republican tickets
in the field he can't expect to be reelcct-
| ed in November. Shoe fly don't bother
! me.
Senator George Gray very respectfully
declines the honor Of representing the
| unterriiea Democracy as u delegate to the
| Constitutional Convention. which will he
IN session at Dover during the next session
! Of Congress. The Senator can not neglect
| his Senat oris.l duties to help frame Il new
| State Constitution. He ends up hts letter
of reclamation with, with reverend assur-
ance Of any appreciation of the honor of
the nomination herewith declined. re-
main yours very truly, GEORGE GRAY.
The whole reason Is thought that the
| Senator was afraid of being cut and there
by defeated at the polls in November
| This Is his whole reason in nut sheet.
