Chairman Horace G. Knowles-Gen-
tlemen, we are gathered here this even-
ing in the interest Of winfield S. Quig-
ley for postmaster Of the city Of Will
mington. We have invited Col Henry
A. DUPONT, the recognized dispenser
Of Federal patronage, and Henry G.
Morse, his close friend and personal

Aide-toi, ct le Ciel t'aidera. Avise la
fin. Ce monde est pleih de fous. Ce
nest que le premier pas qui
coute. Chacun tire de son cote. Chapeau

amere, mails son fruit est doux Lais-
seznous faire. Les ahsens ont toujours
tort. On connait rami au besoin.
Francis S. Bradley-Horace. II you
were to come out in Ninth ward and
make a speech like that the boys would
think you were cussin' them and drive
you away with stones. OF course, un-
derstand little German and can catch
the DRIFT Of what you are saying, but
there are others here who have not had
the same educational advantages that

gentlemen, we are here this evening
not as the Republican First Distric
Committee, but as individuals. A

Mr.. Morse have been invited to com
here and listen to reports from the va
rious wards. We must boom Quigle

know what a lasting shame ii woul
be TO have Washington Hastings sue

anything you may say or do. 1t is a,
occasion which justifies anything Yo
