Clothed with the right OF elective fran
chise, on the Sth day of November,
VIII ich comes on Tuesday next, you will
be called upon to exercise the highest
duty of citizenship. Upon your action
depends the control OF the next House OF
Representatives of Congress. Every
vote for Republican will be an endorse
ment of the Republican policy and an
approval of the record made by the last
Congress.
The Republican party has come to be
the agent Of the trusts, the great corpora
tions, and the great banks. The truth OF
the statement is borne out by the public
records of the past thirty years. Since
the close of the Civil War every demand
of the money power made OF Congress
while under Republican rule has been
substantially complied with and every
demand OF the people substantially de-
MED.
Vast sums of money have been wasted
in eytrayagant contracts given ont to
special favorites or to corporations which
make political subscriptions; and when
speculations have been discovered the
records containing the proof have mys.
terionsly disappeared after reaching the
/ War Department
pected to investigate these wrongs and
bring the guilty to the bar of public
opinion and to punishment. II the war
revenue bill is to be repealed, If taxation
is to be made more equal, if the power
of the trusts and the monopolies is to be
checked, candidates who oppose TIE Re-
publican party must be elected.
The very foundation of the Republic
is being sapped The money oligarchy
is in the saddle; they must be unhorsed
or we are lost. We therefore call upon
every honest voter regardless of party
affiliations to go to the polls on Tuesday
next and help save the Republic. Duty
calls to us. Patriotism appeals to us.
Let us once more have government SO
administered as to bring equal rights to
all, and to give exclusive privileges to
none. Let the decree go forth, that
henceforth ours is to be government
not by, of and tor the syndicate and
trusts, but of, by and for the people. OF
the twelve million voters in this country
more than eleven millions are vitally
concerned in the accomplishment of this
result.
Let their voices be heard in thunder.

The ticket presented to the voters Of
Sussex county, by the Democratic party,
this fall, is clean, able and honest from
top to bottom. There is not man or
the ticket who has not the confidence o.
the community in which he lives. Near

The guarantees of freedom are indeed
ancient in Delaware. They date from
the first colonial settlement. Plymouth
Rock in Massachusetts, and Swedish
Rock in Delaware, represent kindred in
cidents in American history--the guar
antees of freedom were given them. The
fight which began at Lexington Greer
and Concord Bridge was in defense o
these, alike, in Massachusetts and Della
ware-the shots fired there and hearC
around the world were heard here-anC
the fight, sweeping over Delaware soil
reconsecraed it with the blood of human
sacrifice. Delaware belongs in the val
of human progress. In all the grea
movements of American history he
heroes have marched with the first. an(

wide. In justice, generosity and pro
gress, her failures have been at home
Here party spirit has strained the an

fight is on again-the doctrine of human
equality has been denied, the guarantee

been overthrown, and every pollin
