The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1877-03-10


Mr. Fulton'S article of Monday, intense
as it is, really is its least objectionable
feature. 1t Is true that the article in
question is not free from the charge Of
wiliul misstatcmcnt. That it bctravs
narrow and prosrrjptive spirit, wei! cal
culatrd to disturb and irritatc, rather
than to conclliate and pacitv antaron-
istic party interests. That it gives fresh
encouragement to snperservceab|e party
followers in widening instead OF closing
the breach between prominent Republic
can leaders That it adds fresh fuel to
partisan fires which, but for such IN
timely supplies, would have long ago
burnt themselves out For these rea-
sons we dcprccate this and all similar
performances In the struggle for in
tlucncc, and the contest for place. lu,tv
blows may be mutually given and re-
ceived apparently without effect. But
the body of Maryland Rcpublcanism
will remain PROSTATE at the feet of its
misguided champions Why not rather
build up, by Cancellation and concession,
the fabric Of the party. rather than de-
stroy it by partisan bitterness and per-
sonal prescription?
In the same issue III which Mr. Full
ton declares war upon one section Of his
party in Maryland he congratuatcs the
country at large upon the auspicous
inauguration Of Coy. HAYES. in view
Of prospective national prosperity and
peace President Hayes proIfers the
olive branch. Why cannot Mr. Fulton
proftahlv initiate him, and with the
potential means he has at hand, by iudj-
cious methods. smooth the way to final
Republican success in MARYLAND? i,

contrary to every conviction Of reason
and sound judgment, we wiIlfully re-
fuse to recognize the necessities Of the
party situation, and foo!ishlv waste the

substantial political ones. From the
dav that MIR. CresWcll first set his foot
! upon the do0r-sill of the Post-oilice De-
partmcnt as its presiding officer. he has,
until this hour, upon every question

MIR. Fulton the fullest consideration
! He has recognized his influence and
ability as a journalist, his prominence
as a leading Republican, and has al

We do not assert that he has always
succeeded in satisfying Mr., Fulton.
Nor are we disposed to speculate disa-
