The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1851-11-15
THE TOPICS OF THE WEEK.

during the past week has been the re-
suit of the late election in Cecil. 1t is
conceded on all hands that the wings of
the county have done remarkably we'll
we'll so far as regards the county itself,
and well compared with the rest Of the
State; for while some of the Wing coun-
ties have been electing Opposition mem
bcrs ofthe Legislature, Cecil has elect
ed two Wing Delegates.
The voting in some Of the districts
presents a singular result, and shows
that the former party lines were not
very strictly adhered to. In the 1st
District, for instance: Mr.. Neazev beats
his opponent 1855, while Mr.. Wilmer
has only 80 maj. In the 2nd District
Mr.. Harris, wing, has al maj. over Mr..
Pennington, while Mr.. Wilmer falls SO
behind Mr.. Miller. In the Bird District
DR.. Mitchell has $50 ma on the one
side, while Mr.. lamar has 81 on the
other. In the 4th the voting was more
regular, but even there Miller has 2i7
over Wilmer, while James Mackey has
but 11S Over Doct Carter. In the 9Th
Janney has 267 maj. over Nandiver, and
lamar but over Bussey. In the 9th
Janney beats Nandiver 50 votes, and
Wilmer beats Miller Is, while on the
Commissioner ticket Taylor, Opp. beats
Barnes, wing, 1876. Vandiyer beats
: Janney in the 7th 100, Wilmer at the
same time beating Miller 1914. These
results, looked at with the partizan eve,
are very singular, and we think they
betoken the approach of the time, when
party nominations for local Offices, will
fail in their power to bind voters to any
particular ticket.
Much condemnation is bestowed on
the Bird District, in regard to its vote for
, Clerk and Senator, particularly the for
mer. 1t is but too true that several of
: the most active and influential Wigs
supported DR.. Mitchell by their votes
and influence; but the wings of the Dis
trict should not be censured in a mass
on that account. All districts are liable
to such calamities In 1913 the first
district gave Mr.. Janney but q maj.
and lost him his election. 1t would be
as wrong to charge the wings of that
district en- maSse with that result, as to
make the same charge against the wings
, of the Bird District in regard to the late
vote Tor Clerk. In both places and in
both instances, we are induced 10 believe
that the heart of the Wing party was
sound.
f Let us analyze the vote: In tie 1st
, District 312 votes were cast for Clerk
the vote on the general ticket shows
Mr.. Veazey entitled to II maj; lie re-
crives 100 above that; or 50 of the OPP
posite party to G3 who stuck to THEN
ticket. BY the same test the Opposition
majority is shown to be 81 in the 3rd
which DR.. Mitchell exceeds by 205; or
receives 10l whig votes to / IS who vote
the ticket. Thus, considering their
own respective districts, Veazey slightly
, beats Mitchell in his inroad into the
other party.
This one thing is held to b. settled by
the result:-that, although, Messrs. Yea
zey and Wilmer are beaten, they have
shown themselves strong men, and there
I is scarcely doubt that in another triaI
-; they would be successiul-the districts
that have been remisS, vieing with eacl
: other to do them justice, as the 1st thi
S time did justice to Mr.. Janney.
