THE Democrats don't like Judge
Davis independence SO much as they
did.
The Democrats are evidently nerv-
Gus about some parts of the county
ticket.
THE DEMOCRAT of last week char
acterizes the Workingmen's movement
as Communism"
The party of pllage, arson and rev.
olution, is what The Cecil Democrat -
calls the Workingmen's party.
GENERAL MCCLELLAN has been form
ally entered for the race in 1880. Happy
thought to give him plenty of time.
THE House Of Representatives ad-
iourns occasionally to assist at horse
race or some kindred form of innocent
amusement.
THE most beautiful feature of the
extra session is the unanimity with
which an adjournment for two or three
days is voted.
THE Southern men are easily distin-
guished from the Northerners, in the
House of Representatives. The South
erners all respond to the roll-call by
saying Y-u-r-r"
WHEN the thoughtful patriot read
Tuesday morning that Congress had
adjourned to 60 to horse-race, he en-
claimed: "Thank God! The country
is safe for another day.
"THIs letter from Comptroller Wool
ford, explaining the removal of Colonel
Miller, is good thing to hold on to,
but bad thing to let go off," says the
editor of "The Democrat to himself
as he recollects the remarks of the man
who was clinging to the tail of the in
furiated tiger.
WASHINGTON is uncomfertably crowd
ed with statesmen who expect to be the
next candidates for the Presidency,
and there are plenty more scattered
about the country in Governors chairs
and on Judges benches This great
and glorious Republic will never go to
ruin because of the modesty of its sons
THE Republican Worktngmsn have no
disposition, we are convinced, to assist
the Democratic clique of Elkton or its
nominees. If they will reflect for a
moment, they will see that Republican
votes for the Workingmen's ticket are
votes against the Republican party aud
aid the Democracy. They reduce the
Republican vote, while the Working
mems ticket cannot possibly be elected.
THE editor of "TEe Democrat" has
laudable ambition to represent this dis
trict in the next Congress. Some one
has been cruel enough to hint that he
fails to publish Comptroller Woolfords
letter, because he fears to incur the dis
pleasure of certain gentlemen whose
assistance he desires in the contest for
the nomination next year. People should
endeavor to avoid this habit of limiting.
Sometimes there is no foundation for it
sometimes there is.
"DIsTREss has taken the place of
comfort, poverty the place of plenty"
said the blatant Blackburn, on Mon
day evening "The Republican party
is responsible for it all" With equal
reason and force, a philosophical Dem
mykrat out West charged upon the
Radical Administration at Washington
the curse of both Colorado potato bug
and Kansas grasshopper. The anathe-
mas of one are about as sensible as
those Of the other
REPUBLICAN WoRKINGMEN of the
Fifth District 1.-The Cecil Democrat
in its last issue spoke of you as the
