ciscd the idea OF taking the young man in
stead of an experienced man II doctor
| were needed for your sick child said MI
Spruance, you would get the experienced

accomplished, aud asked the audience
"Will you turn in AND help us to do itF'
Immediately a storm of noes" werc
fusion regned supreme. Mr., Spruance,
a!drossing the men, said:
Ii your master was here he would put a
ring in your noses and keep you quiet;

feckor and Willis, and Mr.. Spruance was
unable to make himself heard.

to the back of tho hall while Mr. Houston
attempted to speak Fred f. Bach who

on the stage with Mcssers Dennison and
Elknton, but Mr. Bach could not restore
order, The band started to play but stlll
the noise at the door was the loudest ana

noise were elected and the meeting pro-
cecdcd.
The writer Is Union Republican and
states freely that the conduct of the men
on Saturday evening was Of such ma
ture that the leaders should be arrested
and fined for disorlcrly conduct. If when
the Union Republicans held their mass
meeting in the Wilmington Opera House
certain politician hired band to dis
turb the meeting, such IN action was not
sufficient to warrant Union Republicans
to disturb meeting here when Ge entered
III all.
When ball il rented for Il meeting then
the promoters Of that meeting should Sc
cure u special constable to preserve order
and the first person who would attempt
to disturb the proceedings should be im-
mcdiatcly arrested
Free speech rights must live in
this state.
Men who would disturb meeting such
as that held on Saturday evening would
be mean enough to 90 into the Democratic
camp and defeat il possible the election Of
county officers
Tho wrier cannot stand by such men
when they act disordcrly and will never
consent to cut IL regularly nominated can
didute Such men as Rettow Kelley,
Finn and Wright are tho men every Re
publican in New Castle county is in duty
bound to vote for in November. The Re-
publicans want the county officers and it
is tho duty therefore of each Republican to
vote for and try to secure Others to vote
for the men nominated by a majority Of
the Republicans Of this county.
We want Horace q. RettGw to be Re-
ceiver Of Taxes to succeed John L. Dick
cy. Wo want George ID. Kelley to be
Comptroller and we want William II.
Finn and we arc going to get him, too,
to be the next Sheriff of New Castle
county. We want former New Castle
man, j. Thomas Wright, for Coroner,
and we must vote for each one Of them to
land them successfully. Down with dis.
order and down with disScnsOn.
