prospects of the American ticket con-
tlnue to brighten, and there are but few
now who entertain doubt of its success.
The high character and fitness of the
candidates on that ticket, recommend
them to the favorable consideration of
the people of the county, and we expect
from the voters a rousing majority in Cecil
VIM. H. Purnell, for Comptroller of
the Treasury has won the highest praises
from financial men for the able manner
in which he has conducted the Finances
of the State. The State taxes are now
reduced from % cents to 10 cents in
the 500, and in two or three years
more under the management of Mr..
Purncll that tax will cease altogether,
Edwin II. Webster, the candidate for
Congress, stands so far above his opponent
in all the qualifications for that station,
that his majority in the District, must
be very large. He is in favor ola proper
tariff, which shall afford due protection
to our working men and manufacturers,
while Mr.. McIlenry takes the locofoco
ground against tariff and against pro-
lection.
Mr.. Scott, the candidate for State
Senator is known to be one of the very
best men in the county for the place he
is faithful, energetic, prudent and able
man. No fair man will presume to say
that Mr.. Heckart is his equal in fitness
for the Senate. Scott is one of the
people and is certain of a heavy vote
from their hands.
Then look at our candidates for the
House of Delegates they stand among
our best and most deserving citizens
tit men to represent the integrity and
industry of the county. Voters! if you
have not already examined the delegate
tickets, of the two parties, do so at once.
All have an interest in these matters, and
good judgement ought to be exercised.
In regard to States Attorney, enough
has been said. The people have had the
opportunity at the courts during the
last year to see that Mr.. Jones is one OF
the most competent and unexceptionable
officers in the State.
Joseph Wells, our candidate for Sheriff.
is a prudent, sober, careful and indus
trious citizen; always attentive to his ow,
business and to any business he has charge
of. If he is elected Sheriff he will be a
faithful and diligent oficer-true to
himself and true to all the trusts reposcd
in him.
Our candidates for County Commits
sioners are among our most intelligent
and reliable citizens they are men Of
property and as much interested in an
economical administration of the affairs
Of the county as other citizens. They
deserve the votes of the people, and are
sure of a strong support.
Messrs. Haines, Miller and Sluyter,
for the Orphans Court, are thorough
business men. The two former are well
known to the people of the county. Mr..
Sluyter, we believe, is new man before
the county, (he has been elected in his
own district,) but he is one of our most
careful business men. We arc informed
by a Judge Of the Orphans Court that
in the various relations of Administrator
Guardian, &C., he has been one of the
most correct and prompt business men
ever before that court.
Our local candidates in those districts
where nominations have been made, are
stated to be good men for the places for
which they are named and so, with a
good, reliable, capable set of candidates,
we 60 before the people, and shall rest
contented with the judgment they shall
pass upon it.
