THE CAMPAIGN.
TBE DEMOCRACY AROUSED.
Speeches by Georye Gray, Esq., and
Wm. G. Whiteley.
The mass meeting of the Democracy held
last evening in open air at the comer of
Sixth and King street, was one of the larg
est. political gatherings ever seen at this
corner, and there mast bare been at least
three thousand persons present. Tbe meet
ing was called tobrder by Jamea W. Ware,
and the following offices were elected. Dr.
C. Elton Buck, President; Vice Presidents,
Ralph McCall, August Hilger, Samuel N.
Cooling, Alexander J. Hart, James Murphy
Thomas W. Blanken, James Bradford, A.D.
Cbaytor,James Kennedy and David Hughes;
Secretaries, Merrls Taylor and C.D. Crutch
field.
The President introduced George Gray,
Esq., of New Castle, amid loud cheering.
In commencing his address be said be would
not speak to the prejudice but to tbe reason
of the people, and he then made particular
mention of tbe lnflamaratory address of
John W. Furney at New Castle,
contrast with that gentleman's speech, be
pursued a most genteel chivalry in political
debate, and asserted that he would not say
a word to wound the feelings of those who
differed from him, but would endeavor to
persuade them to do right, because he
thought he was right, and to urge that the
country should be brought back under
the control of an honest administration,
with honest men to displace rogues, happy
homes in place of guant want,
believing that we are right and will
succeed
right, God forbid that we should succeed.
He further stated that he would speak of
that of which no Republican speaker would
speak, and that is the Constitution, for
there is such an instrument. He did not
come to speak of a new gospel, but of tbe
old doctrine of the Constitution. The
Federal government formed by the States,
fer the States,Is our servant,not our master,
and is so considered by the Democratic
party. We do not. believe in reposilig pow
er without limitation to any one.
The doctrine of do unto others as you
would be done by is tbe doctrine of the
i! Democratic party. In the formation of the
Federal government all rights not delegated
by the Constitution were reserved to the
States. Among the powers delegated to
the Federal government was maintaining
the army and navy, to prevent foreign in
vasion and domestic insurrection ; main
the Post Office De
Houses and patent
Mon.
and in
mill
if
we are not
talnlng and supporting
partment and Custom
laws.
It is reserved to the States to regulate
who should vote, and who should not vote,
at the time of the elections, police powers
&e. The Federal government at Washing
ingtou should not forget that they are our
servants and not our masters. This Mr.
Gray made simple to his audience by happy
illustrations.
He made allusion to Grant, Taft and
Robeson as our servants, and said they
should not be ullowed to take from us,h
the rights which they have never been
delegated power to do. He said Taft used
the money of the Custom Houses to dra
goon a great section of the conntry,
and for which the people would call him to
aDcount, and stated that the Republican
party was not ODe that respected constitu
t tonal lew, and repeated the words of Thad
Steveus "To h—1 with the Constitution."
The Democratic party, he stated, had been
often accused by its enemies as one closely
allied with the late confederacy. This he
disclaimed and stated that when the Demo
cratic party come into power not one cent of
the rebel war claims would be paid.
A singular fact that in Philadelphia,
where thousands of Democrats were de
prived of the right to vote by illegal regis
trations, no armed soldier, nor deputy
marshal is to be seen at the polls, but if a
negro Republican in the South, stump his
toe, the armed hand of the government is
thrust out to see that no black man is de
prived of his vote, and if possible to prevent
a fair election. He trusted that no maD,
black or white, would be deprived of his
vote In the State, and a fair electiou was
all that was asked by him or his party.
We don't want Pennsylvania or Massachu
setts to say how elections shall be conducted
in Delaware. Fair play at our elections
is all that is to be desired.
If Mr, Tilden iB elected we shall not ask
him to right wrongs in Philadelphia. The
Republicans would make South Carolina,
Mississippi and Louisana a howling wilder
ness rather than loose the,Presidential elec
tiou. The laws of South Carolina, as now
made, are for the protection of Republicans
but uot Democrat s. Laws should be for tbe
protection of the whole people and not of a
class.
In the South In everyJState where the
Democrats are expected to be successful
armed troops are sent to the polls. If Mr.
Taft has the right to send six soldiers to
one of these election polls, he has the right
to Invade the State of Delaware. If he
has the right to send troops to Hamburg,
South Carolina, he has the same right to
send them to Schuylkill county, Pa., where
outrages equally as great have been com
mitted. If Gov. Tilden is elected Presi
dent, I will not be willlug to give him un
limited powers, or one half, that Grant
grasps at. In the Southern States the Re
publicans have turned all social laws up
side down, the negro on top. The negro
legislators of South Carolina voted them
selves $11 a day with white pages to
bring them ice water. The Southern States
had no right to contract a new debt as they
were left Impoverished by the war, still fifty
thousand dollars of South Carolina bonds
have been sold in New York city at fifty
cents upon the dollar and that fifty cents
stolen. Can it he wandered that the whites
of the South are united in favor of a good
government, without a united south every
Southern State would be Id a like condition.
If the South at the close of tbe war had be
ing an agricultural district, and had been
allowed to form and attend to their natural
products, a demand would have
been made upon
facturers of Wilmington
mechanics would be employed instead of
bring in Idleness. He urged ail to vote the
Democra' Ic ticket to day, an 1 concluded his
remarks amid loud applause.
Hon. Wm. G. Whiteley was then intro
duced, and made a speech denouncing
Grant, Cameron and Taft, who bad aet
themselves up in opposition to all law. He
had nothing to say af alnat Hajea.he beUered
our manu
and our
him to be honest, he made s good Governor
and a good officer in the field, but opposed
him because he was a piece of tbe same
cloth, if not a chip of the same old block,
and would be surrounded by the same had
Influences as Grant. A party that had
bad a Cabinet minister impeached.
Another awaiting trial, the administra
tion connec'ed with the whiskey and other
rings, there must be something rotten in
Denmark, If the army had been sent to
fight Sitting Bull and not to the South, tbe
nation would uot have lamented the death
of the gallant Custer, nor saw Generals
Terry and Crook going into winter quar
ters in summer time for fear of being
whipped by a handful of Indians.
In South Carolina, a State that Is under
'Republican control, tbe Legislature consists
of 57 whites and 98 blacks, of which
eighty of the
read nor write. Before the war the station
ary for one session of tbe Legislature cos'
but $400; but since the carpet bagger has
controlled the State the cost for stationary
alone has been from $16,000 to $25,000 a
sessisn. All this with 80 negroes who can
not read nor write.
Of all the State officials only two pay
one cent of taxes. *»
The Governor pays nothing to Treasurer
pays nothing to the Commissioner of Edu
cation, pays nothing to the Leut. Governor
pays $15 and the Comptroller pays $1 total
$16. Nothing like this can be found in any
other of the 38 states.
In 1873 the expenses of the Legislature
amounted to $291,000, not including the
public printing which amounted to $333,000.
which is in excess of the great State of New
York.
Before the war the tax levy was $500,000
in 1872 the tax levy was $2,7000,000.
The bonds of the Slates of South Caroli
na and North Carolina, who have been
under carpet, bag rule, bonds sells for 15
csnt 6 on the dollar, and the bonds of Louis
iana will bring nothing, but the Democratic
State of Georgia bonds are at par.
The speaker then reviewed Secretary
Tafts orders, and stated that Hon. Wm. B
Mann, of Philadelphia, had stated in a
speech in Philadelphia, that they- (tht
military) were traveling north, and the
same thing would be enacted in tbe north
ern States.
Secretary Taft was executing a law de
clared by the Supreme Court of tbe United
States to be unconstitutional. Tbe enforce
ment act under which Mr. Given was tried
and fined, though Mr. Bayard, Mr. Gray,and
himself had tried to convince Judge Strong
that tbe law was unconstitutional; he a'
that time could not see it, but had since that
time delivered the opinion of the Supreme
Court that the law was unconsti
lutlonal and null and void in every partlcu
lar.
Col. Whiteley concluded by urging upon
all Democrats to vote to-day, which would
be the initiatory step in this State,and would
be answered by Indiana next Tuesday, and
by the whole country in November.
With three cheers for Tilden and Fen
dricks, and the whole ticket the meeting
adjourned.
