William s. Hilles at Large Meeting
at Eighth and Lombard Streets
Said He Was Not Afraid of
100000 Soldiers and Re-

of the Civil War
Quietly Dispersed.

Republicans from all parts of the
west side of the city gathered at the
large open air Republican meeting which
was held at Fourth and Rodney streets
last night. Music was furnished by the
philharmonic Band and addresses were
made By David j. Reinllarlt, Henry C.
Conrad, John Hum. nominee for COVER
nor, Frederick Il. Bach, Custom In
spactor ut Havana. Cuba and Major A.
NJ. Hancock Of baltimore. George Rom
mel was introduced by Samuel Allen as
chairman Of the meeting and he in turn
introduced Daniel Reinhardt who was
the first speaker.
Mr.. Reinhardt said III | was to speak
to you three weeks from tonight | would
congratulate you on the victory that
am most sure you will win on the 9Th of
November. | want to tell you now
about Il still hunt which was made two
years ago by Mr.. Bryan and his follow
crs." The still hunt Mr.. Reinharfr ex-
planned was for an issue for the present
campaign. AT that time there was
plenty of prosperity, the Harlan& Holl-
ingsworth Company had eleven contracts
for ships and they didn't have any under
Cleveland's administration"
MIR. Reinhardt next spoke of the
treaty with Spain whereby we got pos
session of the Philippine Islands.
He said: While that treaty was be-
fore Congress Mr.. Bryan went to WASH
ington. On the day that the treaty was
adopted there We're II or is Democrats
who voted for it, where only four had
voted for it before. Mr.. Bryan boosted
openly the next day that it was he who
got it through. In 1896 Mr.. Bryan told
the people of Kansas that il Mckinley
was elected they could never pay up
their mortgages. Last year there was
an exposition out i'll Kansas and among
other things exhibited was two car
loads Of paid off mortgages.
AT Albany the other day Mr. Bryan
said that the Republican party is a
party for the money. Mr.. Bryan, him
self, for -Four years has been employed
by one OF the largest trusts in the coun-
Try to make speeches. | don't know but
4 he has saved any money from his
Speechmaking it is probably in mort
cages or bonds"
MIR. Reinhardt concluded his address
by saying that the people of the conn
try put confidence in McKinley's admin
istration. II know Il man who has three
large contracts with the understanding
that they are to be cancelled if Bryan
is elected
Henry G. Conrad who was the next
speaker talked on both the national
issues and the local.
MIR. HUM was next introduced and
was loudly applauded. Mr.. Hum said:
while | have been in Wilmington |
have visited IL number of the machine
shops and everything seems to be pros
porous. The people hau a trial of this
thing during Cleycland's administration
and Bryan il lie is elected will be worse.
Frederick Il. Bach; Collector of Gus
toms at Havana, Cuba, made an inter
esting address. Mr.. Bach said: II came
1880 miles to vote for Mckinley and
even more especially the State ticket. 1t
is more important to us that Delaware
should be carried than it is for the
United States to be carried. The efforts
to turn the man who works against the
man who thinks and the man who is
making his fortune against the man who
has made his will fail
Major 4. NJ. Hancock of Baltimore
also spoke.
An enthusiastic meeting was held at
Eighth and Lombard streets last even
ing. about 1000 peopde were present.
Seth ii. Feaster presided and called at
tenton to Il speech made by Hon. Thorn
as f. Bnyard in the nited States Sen
ate III which he said: 'rhe way to make
Il silver dollar was to put enough silver
iii il dollar to make Il dollar"
Major a. NJ. Hancock of Baltimore
was the first speaker who said in part:
1.-The Democratic National Convention
assumed to do what no other convention
ever did. 1t assumed to make someth-
ing paramount. The greatest platform
thar has ever been given to man was
that which was proclaimed from Mt.
Sinai. There was nothing paramount in
that. If there is one paramount issue
in the Democratic platform it is not i'm
perialism. There is not a man in the
United States who believes that an en-
pre is going to be built Silver is the
only paramount issue.
MIR. Bryan on September at Zanes-
vile, Ohio, said the Democratic party
stands where it did in 1896. On Oc-
tober II at An Arbor, Mich, Mr.. Bryan
said we are in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver ut the ratio
of 16 to L.
William S. Hilles then spoke princi-
pally on State issues. He said in part:
Il do not come from distance to speak
to you. We We're told in 1896 that cer-
tain things would occur if Mckinley
