GfThc Cecil Dem ocral last week pub
'Ishcd AN n"dI"sh'ng and downright lie,
and our duty to notice it, is our apology
for doug so. It's lies and ISLANDERS must
be cortradicted, and we have to do il. and
we intend hereafter TO do it with all our
might.
But to the lie. We extract the follow
ing sentences from its leading editorial:
"1he Wig Caniidate for Gorcrnor.-
The Wings, who SO often preach to the
people about lhcir honesty, and de
she To relieve the "dear pcople,n from
their difficulties, have selected a candidate
for the office of Governor, who identified
himself, by conspicuous advocacy with
the policy, which has placed Maryland
IN her embarrassed state"
"Can you then, TAX PAYERS, give
your support to man who has been, and
is still one of the leaders of the party who
has saddled the State with debt, which
bears upon her energies likean incubus.'
Now that is an outrageous lie. Mr..
Pratt, as is known to loco(ocos in this
town who were i'll the legislature with
HIM, was the untlring opponent of the
eight million bill. lie was known as the
great leader of the opposition to 1.-THE
people know it, and the Journal of pro-
ceedings show it, and the man who as
serts the contrary is as notorious fool
as he is a li~. Things must be called
by their right names.
aSNow, "out of their own mouths
VIII we condemn them" Here we give
extracts from the AIIeganan of last Sat
urday, paper published in Cumberland,
Allcgany Co. After referring to the nom
'nation of Mr. Pratt, it says:
ellis opposition to the completio of
the Chesapeake aud Ohio Canal, to the
coal region, is as notorious, as the fac,
that he was a member of the Senate of
Maryland. In 1899, lie voted against the
Bill to finish the work in every shape,
and was then recognized as the leader OF
the opposition"
"The opposition Of Pratt did not stop
here-an effort was made to get up an
extra session of the Legislature, in order
that something might be done. There
was meeting for this purpose in Prince
Georges countv-Mr. Prat's residence.
Mr.. Thomas, the present Governor, at,en-
dad that meeting, and addressed it in Eror
Of the CandI-urglng the necessity of i'm
mediate help from the Legislature. Mr..
PRATT MADE A SPEECH in OPPOSI-
TON, and the meeling refused to sane,
ton the call Of al e4tra session.
"Mr. Pratt says he was opposed to the
Eight Million Bri''-and he might have
sad the zone Million Bill" too"
Here then VIZ show you two loco pa
pears at sword points. We have not time
sor farther remark this week.

wing rally at West Chester, on Thursday
iteHt, saa anotker at Wilmington, on the
t5th inst. Great speakers are to be a,
