FOUR BIG MEETINGS HELD
LAST NIGHT.
00L. WHITELEY AND MR. MARTIN.
Two Meetings In This City, One In New
Castle and One at Stanton—The Fourth
ami NT on roe Gathering.
A large Democratic mass meeting was
held iu the open air at Fourth und Monroe
streets last, night Which
Hon. William G. Whiteley of this city and
Hon. Edward L. Marlin of Sussex county.
A crowd numbering nearly 1,000 persons
was present and the meeting wua culled to
order by J. Frank Bull, Esq., on whose
motion the following officers ol the 'meeting
were chosen :
Prcsldont—J. T. Dickey.
Vice Presidents—Conrad Mauz, Charles
Fredericks, Michael McGrath, Patrick Ham
ilton, Benjamin Jones, Patrick Monaghan,
Frank Moore.
Secretaries—Peter Giuder and Frank
Jones.
Col Whltcly was the first speaker, and
after speaking in a general way of the good
government and high credit ol our State, he
said he had conic to discuss the tariff ques
tion, Hut before doing so he had a word to
say about the assessment laws and the
schools of Delaware. The schools of Wil
mington will compare with those iu the
cities ol Massachusbutt», which Republican
orators so delight iu holding up as a model.
The schools ol the Stute are wisely managed
and are as good as those in most of the
States. Sometimes the speaker was iucliutd
to think Wiliniugtoii'» schools too good,
that is that they had too many studies und
foreed the children too much.
The s(>eakcr turned his attention to the
assessment laws, and alter alluding to the
geuerul abuse oi Republican speakers said
the ccdsus would effectually dlsjioso of this
charge of disfranchisement. Delaware
rated eight ln llie proportion of voters aud
Inala citizens over 21. Indiana, Ohio,
Florida, South Carolina aud lour other
States arc higher. In Delaware the per
centagc is 80. In boasted Massachusetts it
but 35 and in Rhodo Island it is 38. In
Rhode Island no foreigner cun vote unless
he is a freeholder. Colonel Whiteley went
into the subject of the
laws * at
that under them
lose his vote if he attended to his duties
as a citizen aud paid his tax. He showed
that they were fairer than any other State,
ami that it was easier to vote under them
tlian to vote in Massachusetts, New York,
Rhode Island, and other States. The com
plaint of these laws usually come from pet -
pie who conic here from outside. The walk
ing Is good to Liuwood, if they don't like
us, ami if they have DO cents they can move
to Philadelphia, In his letter to .lohn
O'Byrne, General Woodlord says he spoke
in Delaware because the assessment laws
interfere with the education of children ! I
>uld like to know how this can be.
Col. Whiteley then took up the subject of
the tariff and argued that the tariff should
be lowered in order to raise the wages. He
sttid that high protective tariff makes the
rich richer and the poor jioorcr. The
speaker declared he was no free trader in
t iu matter of having no tariff, but he
in favor of having a lower tariff. The pro
tective system
manufacturer
been protected ever since, until now
have the highest tariff in any civilized nation
the globe. The speaker showed that the
wages were lower ami the cost of living
higher than in 1800, and on this head quoted
the New York Times. This paper, said the
speaker, is a leading Republican paper, and
Is called a irce trader. There arc others of
that city who ure free traders ; they are
editing a high tariff journal in this city.
[Laughter.]
The opening of foreign markets were
urged. The "home market" plan is a hum
bug. It will answer as long as you don't
•rstock it, hut do that and you will have
wages going down, strikes raging, and mills
stopping. Wages in England are getting
higher, and the broad commercial spirit Is
doing it. Colonel Whiteley related
versatlon he had with Dorn Pedro v
was in Wilmington. Dom l'edro would buy
nothing in America because nothing which
was made in Brazil could reach American
markets, owing to the high system of du

fact that prevents us irom having

Shipbuilding was next dwelt upon, and
the people were shown how the American
merchant marine had been broken down by
the laws of Congress. American ships cau
uot go to England and engage in the carry
ing trade, because they would return
empty, aud owing to high import duties on
certain materials, such as coffee, etc., our
home shipbuilders cannot compete with the
builders upou the Mersey aud the Clyde. On
this head a letter from William G. Gibbons
of the l'usey & Jones Company was read.
Alluding to Mr. Hastings' last speech
Colonel Whiteley spoke of his view
Bessemer steel. Mr. Hastings had said that
the amount derived from its manufacture
under protective laws went iuto the pockets
of the laboring men. This is not true, and
to show this 1 will again quote the census.
In 1880 tlie average workers in* Bessemer
steel averaged $400 per year, and the iron
workers $450. Bessemer steel maker»—there
lOln the United States—paid
$64)00,000 to laborers and made $15,000,000
prollt, and the iron workers paid outït»,
000 000 to laborers and made $1,000,000
profit. This shows where, under Mr. Iiast
tiW high protection, the mouey for Besse
mer steel went. Col. Whiteley showed how

was then introduced, and was received with
amdausc. lie had rode, he said, 100 mile»
and had broken two engagements to apeak
in Wilmington, and had come weiii'y, and
with his voice almost gone to tell the people
of this city some truths as best lie might.
Tho speaker alluded to the distinguishing
features of the Democratic party to be no

tcrests of the whole people and a rigid
honesty and economy in Government, lie

He soon paid his respects to Mr. Hastings
by takiug up Ids sweeping assertion made
last Saturday night ''let Europe have the
trade of the world, the United States would
have cuough in her home trade." He asked
what would happen If America didn't send
her beef and grain to Europe i Europe
governs the price of grain. Hive us but a
home market and what will be done with
the surplus when Indiana alone can raise
enough corn to supply the United States, and
Delaware alone can supply oue-half of New
England ? There never was a more absurd
proposition uttered by any mau than this
one of Mr. Hastings. The speaker called to
mind the time when the United States with
lier guns shotted and poluted at China's
cities compelled her to give us a market.
This man would have us build a Chinese
wall around our country ! The proposition
is worse than absurd—it Is wickedly so. The
speaker characterized the
of prohibition, which will
buying and selling where, you .want to.
A leading manufacturer of Massachusetts
in Congress, said he wanted a duty so high
that there can be no importation at all ol
the articles he makes—just so does Mr.
Hastings. The difference between the duty
and wlmt articles are Bold at goes into the
manufacturers' pockets.
The speaker alluded to the attempt to
charge Know-Nothingism, etc., upon the
Democratic party and said N. B. Smithers,
George 1\ Fisher and James R. Lolland, the
Secretary of State under the only Know
Nothing Governor Delaware ever had, were
all Know-Nothings. They had passed the
Maine liquor law and Mr. Smithers had
drawn it. lie defended the uuiform
ballot law as necessary to stop
bribery, corruption, coercion and intimida
tion. lie sjKikc of his course in Congress and
told liow the Republicans had defeated ids
bill lor the relief of American ship build
ers. He spoke in biting terms of the lead
ership of the Republican party, ami stttd if
a Harrington succeeds & Saulcbury, a Hast
ily, with high protective notions goes to
Congress, and a Fisher and a I.olland suc
ceed to the judiciary, you, and your children
may never sec the disgrace wiped off the fair
name of the State.
The meeting adjourned with cheers.

1. C. Grubb, Eeq., was the first speaker.
He came here to speak of the political ques
tion» of the day freely and frankly. We
cun congratulate Mr.
Democratic war horse
[applause] on the outlook in hi» iitatc and
give him the assurance that the Demo
cratic ticket will sweep the
of Delaware, [applause]
is no such word as
true Democracy in this campaign. The
Republicans themselves cannot meet their
bosses, and the machine and ; the Dover
Ring, which was driven from Washti.gton
will not get into power. The State will he
in the bauds of safe and true men. Think
of a leader to take c ontrol of this State who
Is charged with the most infamous of
crimes and against whom the indictment
still stands. Next Tuesday I hope New
Castle, the banner Democratic hundred,
will turn iu u good report. (Cries ol v e
will.) The success of the Democratic party
ie assured.
Hon. Robert J. Monaghan, of West
Chester, Penna., was then introduced. In
opening he made an eloquent allusion to
William Penn, who first landed in Delaware
and then in Pennsylvania, and through
•ts Delaware and Pennsylvania were
intimately connected. The Democratic party
has followed William Penn's advice upon
good government, and it has lived to it
closely.
lie contrasted tho record of the Republi
can party with that of the Democratic party,
and said the Republican bosAes wanted to
get into power to fill their pockets and leave
the State in debt. Ohio, lie said, had beeu
redeemed from these plunderers. New
York and Pennsylvania will respond to her
on next Tuesday. The day of Judgment has
come for the Republican [»arty. [ApplauseJ.
The State of Pennsylvania, for the first time
in twenty years, will go Democratic, aud
will give 20,000 majority. Mr. Monoghan
went into national issues in detail, and
spoke with great eloquence, creating much
enthusiasm.
Major B. T. Biggs was then introduced
aud made a speech which created much
laughter aud applause. He had come uot
to call the righteous but sinners to repent
ance. Now is the time to 'seek Democratic
salvation; the way is open fôr you. The
Republican party, lie charged, wauted to
get into power to get into the
treasury. The Republicans could uot
iuto power, and tho State
would give a larger majority than ever be
fore, and New Castle will give an increased
majority. He ridiculed the "New Constitu
tion;" take the negroes out of the Republi
can party and they have, not got a corporal's
guard. In view of the fact that
negroes were voted by the custom
house officials, etc., like slaves he questioned
whether thev exercised a freeman's right.
He warned' his hearers against mixed
schools and said they would surely coine a?
in all other Republican states if the Dover
King got into power. Alluding to the
attempt to purchase voters the speaker said
the Republicans could pot buy Dela
ware and could not buy the votes of
Delewareans. The Democratic candidates,
he said, were tho men with good principles,
like A. B. Cooper, Purnal J. Lynch and C.
C. Stuekley. He predicted a glorious victory
for the Democratic party.
The meeting adjourned ut 10.30 o'clock.

OEOROE n. BATES, AT STANTON—
SPEECHES BY JOHN B1UG» AND UAllltY
SHARP!.LY, JÎBQR8.
The Democrats of Stanton hold a rousing
meeting last night, aud tho enthusiasm was
intense. Dr. Swithin Chandler presided
and music was furnished by the band.
George II. Bates, Esq., was tho first
speaker and entertained ids hearers with a
clear, concise, aud truthful View of the sit
uations. He said wc were now at the close
of an exciting campaign, the real import of
which was, whether the people should main
tain .in its present position the party of faith,
honesty and capacity, or to give over the
reins of the State government to tlie Repub
licans and yield tô them because of their
senseless and causeless cry for a change, —
a change was in no way needed.
The prosperity of the State at the present
time was alluded to. It was never in a
better condition. The farmers had had full
returns of their harrest, the banks were full
of money on deposit, and business in the
Sheriff's office was so dull as to be the cause
of much coinplaint. It was difficult, there
fore, to see what there was in this time of
prosperity to give even à color to the absurd
demand for a change.
The Republican platform was dissected.
In it there wps a cry for a free ballot, and
yet tbe same party were Illustrating their
notions on that subject by going over the
county and swearing the negroes, who form
a very large portion of their party, to vote

he should be careful not to use them. A
fait count by the Republicans was ridiculed,
their records at elections where the ballot
box had been polluted and the grand steal
of 1870 w ere referred to as examples of Re
publican Inconsistency in fair counting.
The Democrats, on the other bauu, had
always favored a fair count, as was shown
by their action two years ago in 41 e muddle
caused by the ignorance of the Republican
inspectors of the Eighth ward. The Demo
crats scorned to take advantage of the situa
tion at that time, and always made a bold
and a hard fight at the. polls, and did not
want to revise the will of the majority.
The cry for retrenchment ai.d reform
was ridiculed in coming from such men as
it did. Retrenchment would he necessary if
the want-to-be bosses got their hards in the

the conclusion of which he intioduced
Louis Sahade, Esq., editor of the Washing
ton, I). C. Sentinel.
Mr. Schade stated that he would take a
text for his speech : Help your Irnuds and
defeat your enemies. (Applause.) He
would show them who were their friend-»
and who their enemies. Ho then gave a
sketch of tlie history of the Democratic
party since its origin. lie claimed that the
old love of that party for the emigrant
really called it into life ; that the indigna
tion which the alien ami sedition laws had
called forth amongst the more progressive
people had placed Jefferson ill the Presi
dential chair, aud that the first act of the
Jeffersonian Democracy was the repeal of
those obnoxious laws and a reduction of the
period of naturalization from fourteen to five
years, just as it had been fixed under Wash
ington's Administration. He then spoke
of the noble fight of the Democrats against
the Know Nothings, the final overthrow oi
the latter and their new appearance as the
present Republican party. For a time the
latter had concealed its innate hatred
against the foreigners,«but long continued
power had revived the old feeling which
•v found vent through their onslaught on
personal liberty, ami the advocacy of
tyrannical prohibitory laws. The foreign
born citizens were now coolly told, as re
cently had been shown in the Western
States, to go whence they had come,because
they would no longer demean themselves to
support that party which allowed them less
liberty than the Czar to his serfs.

THE »ALLOT LAW.
Opinion of MeasrJ. Gray ami Spruance an
to I ta {Operation.
In answer to nuirt#rous inquiries as to the
scope of the uniform ballot law, and an im
portant statute bearing upon the election,
the f oi 'owing has been furnished for publi
cation :
Since some misilinderstanding seem? to
have arisen respecting tbe provisions of the
"act to provide a uniform ballot for election
purposes," the undersigned, after careful
consideration of the same, state the follow
ing as their opinion upon eertafh matters
concerning which inquiries have been made:
1. The act prescribes the size, and pro
hibits any marking of a ballot upon the
outside or inside otherwise than by printing
or writing of the names of those voted for,
and of the office to) which those voted for
ure intended to tU chosen, together with
the name of the party to which a majority
of those voted for l|>elong.
2. The act, however, does not prohibit the
names
erasing or scratching of any name
from a ballot, even though no name be sub
stituted for any name so erased or scratched:
hut a name may, or may not be substituted
for a naiuc scratched or erased at the option
of the elector, afid such substitution, if
mad«, may be either in writing or by printed
slips, pasted over any name proposed to be
erased or scratched!.
8 A Laliot which contains the names of
more than two hersons for the office of
Senator in the General Assembly, cauuot be
counted as a vote for ßetiator, though good
us to the residue of the ballot; and a ballot
which contains the names ol more than
seven persons for the office of
JloprcscnUUiven in the General Assem
bly cannot be counted as a vote for
Representatives, though good as to the resi
due of the ballot. But a ballot which
tuins the names of fewer than two persons
for Senators, or than seven persons for
Representatives In tbe General Assembly, is
good h » to those voted for.
4. Only one person can be voted Tor from
each hundred entitled to a Levy Court
Commissioner, though it is not obligatory
that, a ballot should contain the name of a
I didate, from each hundred entitled.
H. A voter I» entitled to vote for any one
more of the officers to be elected without
voting for the others.

LAST STALWART MOVE.
BE
HOW FOLGEN WAS TO
ELECTED GOVERNOR.
A SCHEME HIPPED IH THE BUD.
the
Illegal Voters by Thousands Placed
Registration List iu New York City— Ar«
rests to be Made.
New York, Nov. 1.—Thousands and
thousands of illegal voters have been placed
on tbe registration lists. It is the last card
of the Stalwarts to elect Folger. The
scheme lias been discovered and to-inorrow
a long list of indictments of parties engaged
In the fraud will l>e sent to the grand jury.
For the last six weeks District Attorney
Mc Keon has had a large force of Pinker
ton's detectives at work gathering facts in
regard to contemplated election irauds and
especially In respect to illegal registration.
Each of the men so employed has made a
daily report in writing of all that he has
learned on the subject. The results are of
a startling character, showing systematic
frauds of the grossest kind on the part of
some of the Republican managers. The
amount of false registration has been enorm
ous. ''Colonization" lias been practiced
on an extensive scale, troops of alleged
voters having registered from cheap hotels
and low lodging houses, where they have
never stayed more than a few nights. In
some c
becn "doctored," or so filled with fictitious
names as to indicate that the
lug from the place have acquired a legal
residence in the district. Tramps have been
given a local habitation and a name and the
same men have been registered at a number
of different polling places. The heaviest
frauds hage heen committed in the Seventh
Assembly district, where Mr. Van Cott is
prominent in Republican politics; in the
Eighth district, where Jobu J. O'Brien,
Chief of the Bureau of Elections and Re
publican candidate for county clerk, is the
Republican manager, and in the Sixteenth,
where "Mike" Creguu and "Barney" Bigllu
arc the leaders of the Republican forces.
A MARS OF EVIDENCE COLLECTED.
According to Assistant District Attorney
Allen a mass of evidence has accumulated
against the perpetrators of the fruuds. Dis
trict Attorney McKeon, he said, gave
orders at the beginning that all cases of ap
parent wrong doing in connection witli the
election should be investigated impartially,
without any regard to party or persons, but
the reports of the many detectives employed
showed that all the Irauds in question were
perpetrated in the interest of Republicans.
The good faith of these reports was borue
out by the fact that the Pinkertons were
Republicans and that their detective bureau
general, a Republican con
cern. It was well understood that
some of the Republican leaders,
while openly giving up their cause
as lost, were privately boasting that Folger
would carry the State and O'Brien be elected
County Clerk. Mr. Allen said that he be
lieved the immber of names now fraudu
lently registered as those of voters was not
lese than 2(>,00u. Of this number, in his
opinion, not more than ten per ceut. would
be polled on election day, owing to the
measures taken by the District Attorney'»
Office, which would, of course, endeavor to
keep out. the Illegal votes entirely. Fraudu
lent registration or an attempt to commit it
was itself a felony, punishable by imprison
mt for not Jess than one or more than
five years. As many eases as possible of
"colonizers" and "repeaters," with Jhe bar
room keepers, landlords, etc., who were
their instigators, would lie prepared aud
given to the grand jury to-morrow.
BUYING UP INSPECTORS.
Mr. Alien said that on cleetiou day it
would be a very risky thing for auy
attempt to cast a vote to which he was not
entitled, although in some of the districts
the inspectors, as well as voters, had been
bought Ly the conspirators. Piukerton'6
men would he stationed in and about all
the polling places, and as their identity
would be carefully concealed, and as many
of them had already secured the confidence
of ward politicians, no man would be said
iu attempting any violation of the election
law. Mr. Allen added that evidence had
been secured strongly implicating certain
candidates for office in the Irauds committed
or attempted, but it was not considered ad
visable to make the facts public at present,
as the District Attorney did not wish to be
suspected oi attempting to influence the
election.
"We are preparing a list of cases," said
District Attorney Mclveon, "that will star
tle the city. I had no idea that this
villainous system of colonization could have
beeu carried on to such an extent as we
have discovered. It seems to have flourished
in former years w ithout any attempt having
been made to cheek it. We have struck it
now, and you will find thatmostof the ring
leaders in the frauds will be in State Prison
before I am through with them. I gave
ample warning to the Police Commissioner»
of my intention in this respect, and yet the
offenders, evidently relying on the immunity
enjoyed in former years, treated the matter
with indifference, supposing that they
would, as usual, be shielded from the con
sequences."
An officer says : It is our intention to
have same of Miem railroaded to Bing Sing
before they can have un opportunity to vote,
while as regards the others, whom it will be
impossible to try iu tne interval, we will
hold them in heavy bail. In this way we
w ill at all events succeed in making such an
example that the people of the city may rely
on an honest vote this time.
