Mr.. Short in his speech said: You
and are interested in politics in this
state. | was born a Republican /
never voted but one straight ticket in
my life. and am sorry now that /
voted that straight. | believe the time
has arrived in our country's history
WHOM we want to vote for men more
than Tor party men. The time has come
in this state when we should vote for
party, men not put up to ride on the
neeks Of the people, but for men put
lup as private citizens.
4 II believe honestly tonight that one
thing sure is to come to us in this state
II the republicans win. II the party
is going to win it will be at the next
election, because the private citizens
are going to drive out of each faction
those who are going to rule or ruin.
We have to say to these men: You're
not going to have your way We are
the voters and we will have our way
When you love your republican party
enough to lift your voices and say
lyou'n have to put ticket in the field
levery honest republican can and viii
support, you will gain the greatest vic
tory ever won by the republicans in
this state.
III / We're yod. and these faction.
Ibid not stop their foOling, ! would cal
a convention OF honest republican,
from one end Of the state to the other
make a ticket and have no mans collar
lon my neck Then we would fill every
Office, from governor down to dog
catcher Say to the men in the Legis
: lature, You are to elect two senators
two republicans, and don't you show
, lycur faces back in your district unit
/, you do elect senators.
Il am ready to vote, and to vote will
the honest republicans of this state
and say TO the factions: You go t.
4, lGuinea,' and we will fill every office il
the state. / say to you: Vote and COM
to my church.
Mr.. Richards advocated harmony il
] his speech He said. referring to tn
registration law in this state
!. You know how democratic officer
, sat at such hours and such places a
, they saw fit, and how republicans hai
( to form in line and fight their way in
< doors in order to have the privilege o
B casting their ballots on election day
B while at the same time tax receipt
. we're carried to Democrats in thei
J. homes. Now we have q law unde
= which both parties have TO do tn
e same thing-to get registered. Their
can be no obstruction placed in tn
way as against republicans compare
with democrats.
why is this law to the interest {
. Republicans. Because republican voter
, lhave been educated to use every effoI
. to acquire the right TO vote. II the rs
T. publican party fails TO win in the ne,
. campaign and the democrats are su,

. to draw? If the democrats control
/. majority of the Legislature and elel
= the governor, who has the right I
- veto, the natural inference is that the
:, will attempt TO repeal this law that
J, may operate TO the interest Of I'll
e democratic party.
"The republicans have a good soil
: majority in this state. and we may il
fer that the democrats would atteml

franchising the colored voters. as h;
. been done in some other democrat
d states.
such a thing as that is Of far great
importance TO the republican party Il
III its future than any question of Off
III or position. II seems to me that su,
Id a contemplation must impress us tn
en- the republican party must bend every G
u fort to carry the state.
I'VE will have honored William NJ
Kinley as our candidate for presider
(Great applause). And that splend

toral votes of Delaware TO them?
am sure we shall AS said before,
NV must bend every effort in 1900 to p
