DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL
DOES NOT KNOW
HOW 70 RUN CITY
Declared William s. Hilles at a
Republican Meeting
Last Night.
STATE TAXES NEVER REDUCED
Democrats Have Not Taken Off 6
Cent in Thirty Years, and Yet
the Roads are of the
Worst and There are
Few Public Works.

| The Democratic party was given q
Ililles in an interesting address at an en-
thusiastic meeting Of the Simon Wolf
Republican Club held at Eighth and
Orange streets last evening He de-
elared that Bryan did not know himself
what the Democratic party stood for;
that eight years ago he was Il great
free trader and in 1896 took up another
free idea, when lie discovered free silver,
and the very idea scared every man who
had business interests of any kind.
He said imperialism was merely a
catch word to capture votes.
He stated that the coming election was
of the utmost Importance to this State;
that there were more offices to fill than
ut any two previous elections. In this
county there are seven offices on the
State ticket For the first time Il clerk
of the peace and IL prothonotary are to
be elected by the votes Of the people.
All this he said means the taking Of
the State ont of the control Of the Dem
ocrats where it has been for thirty years
and turning it over to the Republicans.
The Democratic party he asserted had
no object in this State other than the
personal ambition OF certain of it's mem-
hers. who would try to carry the election
by some means and divide the offices
afterwards. The Republican party says
every man counts for something and has
the right to have his vote counted.
He declared that during the thirty
years the Democrats had been in power
they had not taken off one cent from the
State taxes and vet they claim to be the
party of economy. The taxes are hea-
yier and what is gotten for them.
Delaware has the worst roads and
fewer public works than amy State
north of the Mason and DiXonS line.
He declared that the Democratic
mayor and Democratic council of this
city were running it in such Il way that
if they Kept ii MP the city taxes world
