the control of the State from the
faction-torn Republican party
Delawares Democracy rallied to-
day in Il big meeting at the Peo
pie S Theatre here, and with splen-
did enthusiasm opened Il cam,
paign by which it is intended tc
sweep the State and send two
Democratic Senators to Washing,
ton.
The principal speakers were ex'
Senator Richard II. kcnncy and
John +. Saulsbury. A number
of the old-timc leaders were present
but the meeting was made up
principally OF young men who,
seeing splendid chance to attack
the divided Republican party, arc
eager to devote their energies to
the most vigorous campaign ever
known in the Diamond State,
having full confidence that they
will restore the Commonwealth to
the Democratic column.
Proceeding the popular meet
ing the State and County Commit
tees held short meetings i'll the
theatre to perfect campaign az
rangcmonts. he public meet
ing was then organized by the
selection Of ex-senator kcnney us
chairman and DR.. George W.
Flcasanton. of Sussex, secretary.
On taAing the chair Mr.. kenne y
sall
Gentleman, ] accept this honor
with much pleasure because | feel
til t this meeting means some
It means something to the future
honor and history Of Delaware
because here, to-day, begins Il
fight to overthrow corrupt rule and
to led en- the State of Delaware
to its SOVEREIGN people.
We hayc heard Il great deal
about the Democratic party Of
Delaware being divided by liz
ternal dissensions. | say to you
that all Democrats Of this Stat!
are together and together for Il
purpose. Iou may read what is
said about IL lisorganizcd party
from an unfortunate lead
ership in the past; but the Demo
cratic party is together standing
upon the principles Of that great
est Of all apostles Of Democracy,
Thomas Jefferson. Aud thelo
never was Il purcr JcIlrrso'lian be-
lief and practice than is found
,mong the Democracy Of the
State Of Delaware.
We believe that the trucst III
crest OF the people have been and
llwavs will be subscryed by the
Democratic party. Look at your
States history; there never was
government more successful y al-
ninistcred. Compare" it with
omc of the ridiculous Republic |
AN failures that have been made |
ircc they began to get into con-
loi by right OF purchase.
Look and let your minds dwell
pon the city Of Pl ilalclphia, 50
ear to our doors and our marts,
nd examine for II moment into
he government Of Pennsylvania,
Il under Republican control. What
mochcry Oh liberty and indie
cn1cncc. How long would u
;uty live III Delaware did it SO
pprrSs and outrage the sovereign
ropln? Can it De said that
cnnsylvania is now Il State Of
rc people?
Tie Democratic party is made
y of the great masses of people,
lr people who are the producers
their daily bread. Democrats
g poor; they arc poor in Dcla-
are hrcnuSr they are honest. |
|lev believe in honor and the ad
instrAtion Of fair government
ore than they believe in srli-au-
nccmrnt. Who can deny that
clich men Of the country belong
the Republican party because
at is the pa,t'' Of the high pro-
tive tariff, and the men who
AXE and up hold II high tariff
.uwn full well tliat it comes from
9 pork, Is Of the workingmen
this country and goes to build
the colossal fortunes Of the
ii men.
The Democratic party Of ta-
Y is giving its life-b lood just as
| the people OF America over
0 years ago when they foun ded
asylum here, that all people
ght seek to enjoy life, liberty
4 the pursuit Of happiness. Can
Il afford to sit still and let us !
away from this?
We cannot afford to sit down
l let this great fight run itself.
Hess we arm ourselves and -,
