DeIaware's Democratic Candidate
for Governor Warns the pcopIc
Against the Usurration of Corpora
tiOns-RousInR Speeches Before an
Enthusiastic Audience at Deimar.

DEIMAR, Del, Oct, 11.-DeImar, which
is on the border of Delaware and Mary
land, was flied last night with people who
had come to give reception to Peter J.
Ford Democratic nominee for Governor,
and TO hear the issues of the campaign dis
eussed. The meeting was held on large
lot near the Methodist Episcopal Church
Eben Lowe, one of the oldest Democrats
in the neighborhood presided at the meet
ing. When he told the audience that Bry-
and and Ford would be elected the crowd
gave vent TO wild cheer. As Mr.. Ford
faced the crowd the band played Hail 10
the Chief
Mr.. Ford. in part, said; For this gener-
Gus reception on the part of the Democrats
of Delmar and Little Creek Hundred I want
to express my sincere appreciation. 1t pre-
sages that The citizens of the Hundred
are returning TO the Democratic fold and
are determined to restore this section TO
the proud title by which she was so long
known from one end of the State to the
other-the banner Hundred of Democracy
And why should this not be so? Has any
farmer, laborer merchant or citizen any
hope to achieve or ends to serve by re-
manning follower of the Republican par
ty? If he thinks so he has but-to make an
intelligent and impartial review of the
situation to be convinced beyond doubt
that his hopes are delusions and the ends
are but snares
Republican orators are shouting 10 you
from the housetop about Mckinley pros
perity. Take it literally my fe1Iow-citi-
Zens; 1t is Mckinley prosperity. but not
national prosperity, Mckinley and the
allied trusts have undoubtedly prospered.
The trusts have prospered on Government
favoritism and Mckinley has prospered on
trust faYoritism.
Now, the leaders of what We might
aptly term the trust party are trying to
juggle the plain citizen of this country
into believing that he is the fellow who
has prospered and that these trusts are
SO patriotic and benevolent that they love
the plain citizen. that they are just going
10 contribute twenty-five millions of their
earnings TO keep him prospering four
years longer | point out to the farmer
that he pays more for the wire for his
fences. the nails and hardware he uses
in his buildings the sugar and groceries
he eats. the clothing he wears. and the
oil and coal he burns, while the prices of
his products have not advanced, put in
most instances are lowered.
They control both ends OF the scale of
prices and they mark yours down as fast
as they mark theirs up. ] ask you low
long you think you can endure this pro-
cess. 1t is only matter of a little time
until it viii reduce the people of this
country to a condition beside which the
ancient feudal system of Europe was as
an infant compared to devouring mon
ster. You not only must buy of them
and pay the prices they demand, but a
great mass of our American laborers
must work for them and accept the wage
they offer or become traElps and Vaga-
bonds on the face of the earth.
Our experience refutes the Re.Jub'ican
assurances of prosperity due 10 them. If
the patriotic impulses of cur peoI1e have
not been blunted, l believe the verdict in
November Will be not only that the Re
publican party has been guilty of prs
pering trusts and impoyerishing labor
but of attempting to destroy the Declara-
ton of Independence as the creed of
American citizenship and of running a
war abroad and the Government at home
in defiance OF the Constitution and laws
of our country.
THE four years of Republican rule in
the nation have not only exhibited TO
Seu the birth and federation Of poIiei=s
