Ia very much interested in the campaign,
and the success Of the Republican party, as
It deyolves upon the people to say by their
votes on November 4ih whether De aware
shall remain in the Republican column or
be turned over TO Democratic rule. He
held that the Republicans can win this fail
and are not ready to drop monkey wrench
In tile old threshing machine. They intend
to make the State permanently Republican.
He announced Tint through some mis-
carriage Of the programme Congressman
MCCALL of MASSACHUSETTS,, who was scheduled
to speak, had not arrived. He introduced
William Michael Byrne, the Union Repub-
lican nominee for Congress.
Mr.. Byrne regretted that Congressman
Mccall had not arrived. bit said he would
endeavor to regale his hearers with few
thoughts by the next Congressman from
delaware. He said IL was the first time he
had asked for the support of the people al
an election, but this time he asks that they
delegate him. by their votes, to carry the
message of little Delaware to the national
Congress.
He. said he hoped no man would approach
the ballot box on his behalf with other than
this highest and purest motives
he said he would tell his hearers ''Whnt
VIC should do in Delaware" The first duty
is to keep the State of Delaware Republican.
The next duty is TO elect two Republican
United States Senators, and the third duty
y that the people of Delaware should send
William Michael Byrne to Congress. Il
believe" he ctsatinued THAT have struck
q popular chord in this last remark
He took up the various reasons for his
assertions. Taking up the Cuban question,
he said the great American Republic is to
be commended for its work in bringing
about free and Independent republic in
Cuba.
Mr.. Byrne defended the Republican tariff
Policy. He thought 1t creditable that in
the present state of unrest. thsrs is no evil
dence OF social uprisings. Labor is not
arrayed in hostile effort to down capital,
az without capital labor would be without
opportunities. Labor would be UNEMPLOYED
we're 1t not for capital. Labor must not
antagonize capital. They should go hand
IN hand. Neither has organized capital
right TO Cypress labor. 1t must be under
stood that the peace and good order Of the
community must be maintained at all times
and the coal baron5 must understand also
that the military arm of the government is
not to DO used as an auxiliary to crush out
labor. II the government protects a union
OF capital how can anyone assail labor when
1t organizes for mutual benefit.
II am sent to Congress" he said, 81

nierce.
Referring to the colored race he said /:
I'VE expect to keep in Delaware TINT
equality Of race that forms the keystone of
American liberty" He said white Ameri-
cans would never dominate colored Anieri- !
cans in Delaware. He advocated system |
of manual instruction for the coiored race,
to make industrial trades people out of |
them, He commended the colored race for |
their bravery and valor in defending the |
American flag.
sidered the second duty of Delaware Repub- |
licans, the election of two Republican !
Senators. He said while he was begging |
for votes to elect him TO the lower house in |
Congress he wanted 10 eco two Senators

sible; II not, two Democratic. He did not
want another era of do-nothingisn.
He said there wac some fear that his own
ambition for seat in the lower house of /
Congress would not be grutitied.
