Our Ticket.

of the Republican State Convention occu-
pies so much of our available space, that
our room is limited for remarks on the
ticket which the Convention has placed
before the people of the State, and for
which their suffrage is asked and claimed
on the score of merit, sterling qualities
both socially and politically. The State
under the administration OF such officers,
would again be started on the high road to
progress and financial prosperity, which
have fled our borders since it has been sad
died with its present Copperhead incubus
Mr.. Tome is too we'll known in this
county to need any Introductory remarks
in this place. He came into this State
from Pennsylvania forty years ago, and
settled in Port Deposit where he has ever
since resided. By his rare financial ability
he has become the wealthiest man in the
State outside of Baltimore. Mr.. Tome
filled the important position of Chairman
OF the Finance Committee of the Senate
when the State was under Republican con-
troll, and was acknowledged by both parties
to be decidedly the ablest man in the Sen
ale in that respect. Our State is just now
wofully in need of just such ability to
bring it out of the slough of debt and tax
alton into which it has been plunged by
Democratic misrule.
The Baltimore american says:
"Mr. Lawrence J. Brengle, the candi-
date for Comptroller of the Treasury, is
one of the best known men of the western
section of Maryland. He has occupied
several positions of honor and trust at the
hands of his fellow-citizens. On several
occasions he has represented his county in
the Legislature. Some years since he was
President of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company, and has frequently been a
member of the Board of Public Works
under the Constitution of 1850. Mr.. Bren-
gle is now President of the First National
Bank of Frederick city. He is largely
interested in the many works of internal
improvement now being developed in
Western Maryland. He has character,
capital, and the industry and capacity to
use both.
"Hon. Alexander Randall, of Anne
Arundel county, the nominee of the Con-
vention for Attorney General, filed this
important Office during the first two years
of the administration of Thomas Swami,
having been elected on the same ticket,
but was subsequently excluded from Office,
before the close of his term, by the adop-
ton of the new Constitution. He remain
ed true to the Republican party during all
the exciting times that followed. Previous
to the war Mr.. Randall was an Old-Liue
Wing, and represented his county on sew
eral occasions in the State Legislature. In
all the public positions he has filed, he has
been distinguished for purity Of purpose,
devotion to the interests of the State, and
regard for the rights of his constituents
AS lawyer, Mr.. Randall enjoys high
reputation throughout the State"
With such ticket the Republican party
can claim the suffrage of the honest, up
right and intelligent men of the State as
right and duty which they owe to good
government.
Let the Republican party Of Cecil sup
plement their State ticket with county
one of equal merit and fitness, and we
enter the contest against demoalized and
utterly defenceless party, arraigned before
the people as guilty of every political crime
known to the annals of Democratic trick
cry; and with such overwhelming advan-
tages on our side we can appeal to the
sober second thought of the people for
their support and we predict the appeal
will not be made in vain.
