DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE PASSES
RESOLUTIONS SATURDAY. NIGHT
SCORING TINE GOLD BUGS"
AN enthusiastic meeting OF the
Democratic League Of Delaware was
neld on Saturday evening, at which
resolutions were passed condemning
ihe actions OF the gold men OF the
state and country.
The meeting was called to order at
O'Clock by President Huriock, and
the session lasted for two hours and a
haH. Only members OF the organiza-
dons were admitted, and the reeolu-
uons adoVted were passed amid much
enthusiasm.
They declare that the issue Of the
Democratic party in 1900 viii be the
same as in 1896. That the people in
the state and nation are taking notes,
and that those who want to be counted
loyal then will net be able TO explain
their disloyalty now.
In referring to the Democratic mem-
oers Of the present Legislature the
resolutic cns say;
1.-THE Democratic vote in the Dela-
ware LEGISLATURE cannot elect a SEN
ator at this session, and st is mere
folly to entertain the hope that it can;
but It can and is performing a more
serious office than that of bestowina
a mere personal compliment. In be-
slowing it's favor to men now, it is in
effect committing the party TO meas
ures and policies in the future which
those men represent It's members
should cast a vote for no man now
who is not IN entire sympathy
with the issues which their party is al
ready committed to, and is sure t,
sustain again in 1900"
The resolutions were signed by D
W. Forrest. w. E. Bromwell, Georgv
.C. Morton. committee on address
Charles S. Hurlook, president, and
.P. Doherty. secretary of the league.
