THE NOMINATING CONVENTION.

By order Of the Executive Committee of
the Republican party, the call for Primary
Meetings to take place on Saturday next,
is published in this issue of The Wing. 1t
will be seen that the call is for the election
of Delegates for both County and State
Conventions. To place No. men in NOM
ination for the Offices seems to be the pre-
vailing sentiment of the people, who have
become tired of mere professional politi-
clans. The fact that good men in office are
of vastly more Importance than good laws
with dishonest men to administer them is
apparent. 1t matters not if angels made
the laws, if just and intelligent men are
not elected to carry them out, they will
avail nothing. This being understood, let
none others but mon who will pass muster
morally, socially and intellectually, be Sc
leetsd by the Convention which will meet
on Tuesday the Goth, at Elkton. But in
order to secure this class of ticket, which
is sure to win, while no other will, the peo-
pie must attend the primary meetings and
send their best representative men as dele
gates to the Convention. Begin the work
right this Fall and the Republican party is
bound to clear out the Augean stables Of
Cecil, which the Elkton ring have filled
knee deep with party filth. The New
York Tammany ring was never more cor
rupt in its palimest days under Boss Tweed,
than tho Elkton ring at this time.

The Wear and Tear OF Life.

ties Nervous weakness, dyspepsia affections of the
liver disturbances Of the bowels healache hypocon-
dria and monomania among these distressing fruits
1t therefore, of great importance that persons whose
minds oppressed with heavy business responsibilities
harassed by family troubles, excited by speculation
perplexed by multiplicity of enterprises in any
way overtaxed OF overworked should keep up their
stamina by the daily Of wholesome tonic. Thous-
ands Of persons thus crcumstanced enabled bear

which prone to attack the body when debii-

power with which this incompatible tonic endows the
system and the vital organs. At this season.
when the heat is evaporatng the elements of strength
from every pore, nvIgorant is absolutely essential
to the safety and comfort of tho public and required

1t is tho standard remedy.

ELkTON rs. CECIL COUNTY.

MIR. EDlToR:-l am informed that our
party is to have County Clerk, Register,
Sheriff, and Clerk to the County Com
missioners all belonging to Elkton, per-
haps it will all be right to make such NOM
nation and perhaps not.
l admit that Elkton has not had her
share of the important offices of late, but
who is to blame, surely not Elkton men.
Now in the first place cannot see any
thing unjust about nominating man in
Elkton for Office No. 1, who has always
been true to his party and has suffered his
name to be put in nomination for the good
of his party when there was no earthly
chance for his election.
But the candidate for No. 2, how about
him, when did he become Democrat, has
he not had the office six years already9
think the party should now give that office
to some Republican, provided he will pro-
mise to be Democrat so long they keep
him in office.
How about candidate No. 3. Iacknowl-
edge he claims to be from the 9TH District,
but is he really not an Elktonian or ring
man; how many men of prominence, in his
own party, openly avow that they will not
vote for him, if nominated?
In regard to Clerk to County Commits
sioners, that will lay with the Commission
ers to decide, the ring don't want Com
missioner from the 3rd District, that is to
be given some other district; and now they
are already secretly working to have man,
who is really an Elktonian, nominated for
County Commissioner, for the sole purpose
of having member of the ring appointed
Clerk to the County Commissioners, but he
is to be credited to another district for a
sham to deceive the party.
Now, if the ElIton men are to have all
the say in this matter, and are to nomi-
nate just such men as they please, then let
them nominate them, and let them elect
them if they can, if they are good men, no
matter where they are from.
But if men are nominated who are unfit
for the position, then I, with many others,
will not support them at the election.
Understand me; if they are good men
and fairly nominated, no matter if every
man of them is from Elkton, will use all
Of my influence to elect them.
AS the Editor very wisely remarked in
an article in late number of the Demo-
crat, we do not want the party defeated
for the sake Of pleasing few hacks.
IT. ~. f.1 r.
our County organ is conducted by man
who is acknowledged by all to be a perfect
gentleman, and worthy to fill any station
in the land, and we are satisfied that he
will not uphold nor encourage in the paper
anything that will be injurious to the good
old Democratic party; but will expose all
frauds that may be attempted to be forced
upon the party by designing man.
