DEMOCRATIC l RALLY AT THE
CITY MALL.
An Overflowing Audience - Stirring
Speeches by Men. I. C. Grubb and Sam
uel Toumtend.
Mhe Democratic Mass Meeting called for
last eveniog at the corner of Sixth and
King streets, owing to the bad arrange
ments caused by market furniture being
piled up in its vicinity, waa held In the City
Hall In the presence of an audience that
extended out Into the street. The meeting
was called to order by Dr. Howard 0. Ogle,
Who read out the following as the officers
of the evening : President. Charles O'Neal,
Esq.; Vice-Presidents, First Ward, Henry
Biyer, Second ward, CharlesCannon,Thlrd
ward, James McGlincbey, Fourth ward,
Augustus Tea Wedges, Fifth ward, James
France, Sixth ward, John Horty, Seventh
ward, Charles E. Dubell, Eighth ward,
Dr. GOorge W. Chayter, Ninth ward, John
McSorley, Ten'll ward, Jacob D. Jacobus ;
Secretaries, George Murphy, Bernard Mc
Guire, W. H. Stewart, J. E. Land and
R. Groves, Jr. 11
The first speaker of the evening waa Hon.
I. C Grubb, Secretary »f State, Mr. Grubb,
in commencing his argument took hold di
rectly of the Issues of the day and explained
them to his audience with graphic effect.
The leading theme of the first of hia argu
ment waa to show of what the Republican
party of to day consists, its exact status Id
political honesty and the material differ
ences between the Republican party of to
day, and what It was at Its Inception. The
party organization of to-day, said the
speaker, la run only to the advantage of the
unscrupulous measures of its managers. It
Is no more the old Republican party than
night la day.
It has been seized by a claaa of men who
have repudiated the principles of Sumner
and Adams. Its loss of respect caused
Sumner to leave the Senate broken hearted,
and caused Charles Francis Adams to desert
it and join the Democracy. The old mem
bers of the party have all left It and become
Democratic, (a voice In the audience, and
Dan Dougherty); yes that Irish orator of
brilliancy and renown.
He said the old party bad fallen into the
bands of tbe Mortons, the Camerons and
Butlers of the new party. Instead of civil
government It has given military govern
ment,and instead of measures ef peace they
have given us measures of war, and instead
of a free ballot they have given us the bay
onet. The one man power Is rife in this
country. This situation is alarming but it
is not overated. He spoke of the situation
of South Carolina, aad said that our duty
was plain before us to check a party which
has been more potent for evil than for good'
. It has made this government a by word
and a reproach. It has made itself a stench
in ths nostrils of the people. It comes to
Its own members as a dishonored party, and
to you Republicans they extend an invita
tion to join a party to which you never gave
your love. ,
He then compared the two parties and
said they were before the people upon their
own merits. Every tub must stand upon
its own bottom, and the honest sentiment
of the people judge which most deserved
support. He spoke of the promises of the
Republican party to the South at the close
of the war, none of which had been fulfilled.
Of their promises to establish - a safe finan
cial basis that would bring to the people
prosperity, and aBked how well they had
kspt the promises made the*. They had
• ■one everything to foster and encourage war.
He spoke of the desire of the South for
peace, and how the people had thrown down
their arms at the close of the war, and aak
ed the terms of admission to the UnloD,and
bow they had been treated by those desiring
to use them for political power. He allu
ded to the enforcement act, and to Taft's
unconstitut ional act, which our able Senator
Bayard, had repeatedly lifted bla voice to
protest against, and how It had been follow
ed up by flooding South Carolina with
troops.
He did not wish to say anything harsh of
President Grant, that could not be justified,
but be firmly believed that Grant kuew be
lied when he signed the proclamation issued
by Chamberlain, and he received the con
detonation of the whole country for this act.
He would not rest it upon his own say so,
nor upon the say so of Gen. Wade Hampton,
but he would upon the clergy, scholars and
prominent officers of South Carolina, who
protested against it.
He alluded to the debts that the Repub
lican party had heaped upon the South, and
bow it effected the North, for when they
cut the South off from us, said he, they cut
off the most Important market In the land,
and In this I appeal to your own interests ;
for, said tbe speaker, no place has suffered
more by tbis heavy taxatlou to the South,
and stopped their business, than Wllming
y
ed
ton.
I have been informed by a member of the
firm of Harlan and Hollingsworth,'that they
have been compelled to discharge from
their works since May 700 men. He then
alluded to the large trade that had been di
verted from tVllralngton, and how the work
ingman. capitalist, and ail alike had been
made to suffer by it.
Mr. Grubb then reviewed tbe promises
made by that, party In the platforms of their
different National Conventions, Dot one of
which he said had been fulfilled. He show
ed the tyranny of the government over the
Ssutb, and bow these people had showed
their loyalty upon more occasions than one.
He alluded to their patriotism and challeng
ed its disputation. It was conceded by all
to be an effective argument, and Mr. Grubb
concluded amid great, applause, and was
frequently interrupted in his remarks by the
same.
Mr. Samuel Townsend was the next
speaker. He spoke of the Interests that
were at stake in the next election in the
State; what we had to gain by success and
what we had to lose by defeat. He then
took up the general issues of the campaign
and dissected them carefully. He showed
the errors of the Republican party, and
showed tbe line of battle for the Democracy.
Mr. Townsend was warmly applauded.

The driver, meanwhile, clung to tbe

•J Democratic Enthusiasm—Stirring
Speeches and Parades.
Delaware City, Oct. 27,1876.
Friday was a gala day with the Demos
racy of thla place and vicinity. The people
came In droves from the count ry and adjoining
towns, and at 8 o'clock the steamer "Jersey
Blue'' came from New Caatle with three
hundred men and a line brass band. After
a parade three-quarters of a mile in length,
the large crowd assembled around the
speakers stand and listened to able addresses
from Senator Eli Saulsbury, George Gray
and Dr. George Troup Maxwell of New
Castle. A. M. Biddle was made President
of the meeting, Fred. Brady Jice-Prealdent
and Thomas Bird Secretary,
MR1TIN0 AT ST. OEOROS'S.
The meeting of the Democrats of Red
Lion Hundred at thla place on Saturday
evening last was a success in every partic
ular. Their line ball was crowded To its
utmost capacity. The meeting was called
ro order s> 8 o'clock, and William Mullln,
Esq., of Delaware City, wae elected Presi
dent, S. B Sutton, Esq., Vice President and
C. H. McWborion Secretary, alter which
Hon. James Q. Vallandlngbam of Ohio was
introduced as the drat speaker. He enter
tained the audience for an ho«r and .a half
with ons of the moat powerful speeches that
it has been the privilege of this neighbor
hood to listen to, delivering aledgs-hammer
blows on the misdeeds of the present admin
istration that cauaed some of its moat ardent
supporters to wince under his scathing chas
tisement.
He attacked the strongholds of the Republi
can orators, exposing their Ignorance In the
assertions that a Democratic Administra
tion would pay off the rebel debts, demon
strating that such a cause could only bo
pursued by a Constitutional amendment.
This speech throughout abounded in elo
quence, moderation and sound reason, that
commanded the closest attention of all pres
eat, aod elicited rounds of applause.
James H. Myers, of Virginia, was the
next speaker Introduced, who delivered an
able argument.
The meeting was the moat enthusiastic
affair that has been held in this town for
many years, and clearly shows that the
Democratic freemen of Red Lion have gone
to work In earnest and intend to roll up a
majority on the 7th of November that will
send glad tidings to her sister hundreds.
