urine that was instilled into US? and
yet what are the Republicans doing
now? They set up this government as
absolute rulers OF Porto tlcO. Not only
that, but look at the condItOn in the

worse than in Porto Rico. There may

will be free, but it is an impossible

They are too far away"
Senator Bacon then proceeded to
score the Republican party saying that
the car OF Russia had no more power
than had the president of the United
States in the Philippines. He declared
that the Republican party denies that
it intends any Imperialism in the
Philippines, but that Providence had
forced them upon us.

only put down that Delaware will give
her votes for Mckinley and Roosevelt,
but / would like him to put down the
majorities which she will give. / also
want him to put down that shoulder to-
shoulder the Republican party is going
to redeem Delaware. We Will elect John
Hum and the rest OF the ticket. We do
not know what il is to have an honest,
stalwart Republican governor serving the
whole state. The Republican party will
never forget or forgive the man who

ticket"
Horace G. Knowles was the next
speaker. who said in part:

and then said:
MY friend, reter ]. Ford, is still harp
ing on good government. He says he will
appoint honest men TO office. He does
not say anything about registration Off

"Elect my friend, John Frick for we
want the coroner to hOl- an inquest on
the Democratic party" said Mr.. Hayes
in conclusion.
Mr.. HUM was introduced and he said:
"All the speakers since Mr.. Wolf have
said the ground was so covered there
was nothing left for them to say. What
is there left for me? / would ask you 60

free silver fallacy cut of sight. This is
the greatest nation Of the earth.
Whether it is to remain so depends upon
the election Of the Republican candi-
dates.
Il have not heard n speech this cam

ton as that OF Mr.. Wolf He spoke ia
his own people. whom we have been
taught are the chosen people Of God
. They are a commercial people and they
win not assist in bringing upon the coun-
