A Name for Foes in The Wilmington Post
In a verbose tirade the Wilmington Post laments opposition leaders lacking a clear label and rejects "demoocrat" as a misnomer. The piece mocks Democratic defiance, argues for a strong, sonorous new name, and blasts political figures who stall naming the opposition while urging voters to push for Impartial Suffrage and party realignment across Maryland, Pennsylvania, and beyond. It rails at the press, praises Republican leadership, and notes efforts to ratify the Fifteenth Amendment amid regional resistance and political maneuvering.
