THERE used to be twenty-six letters
in the alphabet of the English language.
But since Mr.. Woolford recently com
posed another, we have twenty-seven.

The Democrat" 1t may not be so,
but it looks selfish.
THE CECIL DEMOCRAT says: some
Of tie main features Of the Workungmen' $
party is total disregard for anything decent
or respectable" Are Republican work
ingmen willing to assist, directly or in
directly, a party of which THE Demo-

GREAT drops of sweat stood out all
over the local Democratic managers a
few days ago when they heard that one
of their candidates for County Commits
sioner was Grading off" their candi-
date for sheriff The peace of the
household is not yet restored. "They

The French Ministry is disposed to
do any thing but admit that it was re-
jected decisively by the people at the

rather hard to "face the music" We
know, but then there would be COM

the dancers would dance Be kind
enough to get that fiddle in tune.
WHEN a Democratic candidate meets
a working man on the road. he calls him
friend and brother. When working man
