THE GREAT MAN BACH HOLDS A
CONFERENCE WITH THE RESI-
DENTS THEREOF.
Fred Eden Bach paid a visit to New
Castle last evening. There was moth
ing of a political nature in the visit, It
being merely one OF inspection.
Tho buildings in some parts OF the
city are out of repair, and the fences
are in a most horrible condition.
His excellency was escorted to Will
liams street by a trustworthy lieuten-
ant, who pointed out the broken places
In certain parts of this classic locality.
lt was proposed that a little love feast
would be In order, and the colored
faithful were drummed up and directed
to meet in a commodious hall In the
above mentioned street
A colored orator, Isaac Anderson,
made a very pathetic and touching
speech upon the present campaign, and
OF the terrible strait the Republican
party in the State of Delaware has been
brought to by set of unprincipled and
selfish men who had even forced their
electors upon the party much against
the wishes of the same.
He wound up by begging his hearers
to be careful and stamp the eagle upon
election day until they knocked the tail
feathers out of IL.
Refreshments were then passed
around to steady the stomachs of the
audience before the next speaker took
the boards and on the metaphorioal
toes of the Union Republicans.
The next speaker was He himself.
Mr. Bach planted his right foot so
solidly upon the spruce pine floor that
the picaninnies of Williams street
thought some of the neighbOrs had got
ten hold of another piece of loaded fire
wood, and that 1t had sent another
stove to the scrap pile.
The building trembled and the kero-
seno lamp sent up rings of smoke into
the rafters like an overloaded locomo-
tive on a still Winters day.
He spoke, and a silence fell upon
that throng as II the Death-Angel had
eyerspIead it with his wings An anna
teur game of crap in one corner was
discontinued for the time being.
He reviewed the cereer of the Repub-
lican party in this state at length-how
Higgins and Bird had fought each
other until there was but q remnant OF
party left. so small a remnant, that
at one time no ticket was placed in the
field: but all this was for the future
| good Of the party-a sort OF purihca-
tion measure. AS it had seemingly
worked so well in the past it could not
, but be beniicial at the present time.
Some good and pure Democrats in
Sussex county had been endorsed to
insure Republican success. A man
from this city who is making a fight
FOR the Office of sheriff by the name OF
Toman must not be voted for under
any considerations. Even the good
/ Democrats of New Castle county woul
/ not support this man.
The regular Republicans are sure o.
| winning this fight as they are certain
Of the support of several thousan,
Democrats in Wilmington who will no
support their ticket for reasons bcs
known to the speaker.
There is good reason to believe tha
even Toman will withdraw in favor o
Finn. After q few more pointed re
marks and a summing up of a mos
| beautiful majority for the regulars, tn,
meeting came to a close.
a reward of twenty-five cents ha,
been offered for the arrest and convic
tion of the person or persons who tieC
