Democratic Meeting That
Turned Out to- be q
Free Silver One.
UPON A CANDIDATE
Numerous Democrats Dis
gusted at the Treat
ment GiyenThem.

Numerous Democrats who wore invited
to hear the speech Of Joseph W. Bailey Ct
Texas, Friday evening, at the BiJou thea.
tire, went away because they were denied
the right to take seat in the Auditorium
Of the theatre. They refused to 90 up
stairs III the gallery and left the theatre in
disgust. There was plenty of room and
nobody need have gone away in huff. In
fact thoy did not miss much except the
selections Of the First Regiment band
whicha helped to keep up the dropping
splri5' of those present. 1t WAS a Demo.
cratic meeting with u silver lining aud
from tho surface II looks as II the enthuel-
asm had dropped out this campaign In our
city. The Democrats are making tho ssr-
most plea for the ro-elcotion of l. Irving
Handy that he has made such good Con.
gresham; that he should be re-eleotedyto
another term in Congress without any op.
position. But the matter Of fact Is that b.
doed not represent his party. At least th1
Is what the Gray anu. Blyard Democrats
say and they are nowise backward In sa1-
Ing SO either. -A-sSIe
The Journal of Thursdays issue stated
that Congressman Bailey was the DsneA
cratic leader In the National HOUSE ~
Representatives,. 1.-The is then they hsSH
almighty unsafe and poor leaderi Is all "
have to say about him after hearing his
haranguo Friday evening.
The Journal says that he (Baileyl has q
national reputation. Perhaps so had Dom
mis- kearney OF California who led tho
riots in that city several years ago So
had Debs of Chicago Railroad rio. fame
who was sentenced to jail for not oteying
the order of the Supreme Court.
The speech consisted Of a eulogy OF Con.
gresham Handy, an attack on tho admin
stration and the prosperity that followed
free silver as pictured by him. In fact the
Republican party was pictured as repre-
senting all Of the Ills Of the day and the
Democratic party all Of the progress and
prosperity that America has experienced
in the last twenty years.
We are pleased to see that the civil SCR
Vice is to be abrogated in the Internal
Revenue service. That it has oeen tried
and found wanting and for this reason
alone tho President will modify tho same
this month.
As at present determined, upon the or.
dor will affect upwards Of 6,0D places. II
will include deputy Collectors Of Internal
Revenue who are authorized to becoHs
acting collectors actually serving in that
capacity. There are at least two thousand
of these deputies
Even the office of Collector Of Port VIII
come under the ruling so 1t Is said. We
should think as chief and special Deputy
Collector W. A. Conegys who took Will
liam II. Films unex plred term could I'M
der this order bs removed Mr.. Ccmesys
has made good and efficient offi,sr but
no better than Mr. Finn whom 6onatSS
Gray had removed to make room forA
Democrat under the Cleveland adminis:rE
ton.
A communication has been received d
this office stating that Judge Edward q
Bradford has not registered. This aiSa
matter that alone concerns Judge HradS
ford and not the REPUBLICAN,. We hn
always thought every good oitizen irrss
spsctlvs OF party affiliations wouli take
the trouble to got registered and then tsts
III November Every Republican vote Will
be needed to carry the State for tho Re.
publican ticket. Postmaster Hugh c.
Browne and William Michael Byrne wess
attentive listeners to the speech OF Com.
gresham John w. Bailey Friday evening:
They occupied the upper box to tho left o.
the stage in tho gallery. They attracted
nearly II not as much attention from the
audience as did tho speaker.
The Every Evening is dumb MS an oyster
on the chances of Congressman Handy's
re-olectlon to Congress.
Said we'll known New Castle Demo-
crat to the writer, Il saw an attack upon
candidate Blakely in the Every Evening,
which think was entirely uncalled for.
l don't know whether tho paper Is Deny.
ocrn,ic sheet or not but even the attack
was II mean and cowardly ono on the
grounds thoy have put it. Every man has
his friends who are moro ready.to rospact
an injustice than anything else sand il
AIN not mistaken thoy will resent the at
tack in this cnso by voting for him, and
against his opponent, Tho district Is .
Republican ono and the attack made upon
him looks like personal one, engineered
bv tho owner OF the paper who resides In
that district.
