Because we believe it to be the duty of
Il conscientious journalist to keep nothing
from the public that it ought to know
concerning the political and business
records of those who are asking at their
hands offices of responsibility and trust,
we have not hesitated to discharge our
obligation to the public during this can
vass. We are we'll aware, of course, that
our criticisms of aspirants to Office, in
several instances, were not relished by
the gentlemen who were their subjects.
The truth never is palatable. In no in
stance have we disregarded it. Nor have
we been inspired, in any case during the
campaign now closing, by any personal
or unworthy motives. We have attacked
no man personally. That any man should
feel it SO, is the fault of his public record
and claim to popular support, not ours
We have, during this canvass, maintained
before the people what we conscientious
ly believed to be for the best interests of
the county. We leave the issues of the
canvass with them, disavowing any per-
sonal feeling of unkindness towards those
whom we have opposed, and should the
result be againt us, will accept it in good
faith and join hands with every man in
Cecil county, whatever be his political
opinions, in forwarding the common in
terests of the people of Cecil county and
in promoting the general welfare of our
people.

THE LOCAL OPTION DODGERS

1t surprised no one to see the names of
VIM. (?) King, c. w. Wilson and Adam
Peoples prcftssedl local optionists, attached
as a tail piece to an anti-Local Option,
Democratic campaign document, in the
last issue of The Cecil Democrat. No
one, of course, accuses either of them Of
being the author of this freshest speci-
men of the political Jeremy Didler. The
only wonder is, that self-respecting men
can allow themselves to be made the
plant tools of partisan leaders. The
document in question shows the mettls of
the men. Perish morality, temperance
and religion; let chaos come again if
Democracy be in jeopardy. That card
is a pitiable instance of the weakness
and inconsistency of human nature, and
as years accumulate on their heads will
prove constant reminder to them how
partisan prejudices dictated an act that
their consciences cannot approve. We
envy neither of the gentlemen their posi-
ton before the people of the county, in
which they have allowed Mr.. Touchstone
to place them.

DON'T MIND THEIR GUNS, GEN

Readers of the history of Barnaby
Rudgc" cherish lively recollection of
an old female, Miss Miggs by name, who
betrayed, when the rioters approached
the house she lived in, moro hysterical
concern for her virtue and reputation
than all the young and pretty women put
together. When she was asked what
was the matter, she answered distract

ton of being speedily abducted, or al
least kissed, she fell on her knees and
began to scream very loud, "What will
become of me- Have mercy, good gen
tlemen, OH my sex's weakness" Yet
when the rioters did attack the house,
and the master OF it took his gun to de-
fend the door, Miss Miggs thrust her head
out Of the attic window and, for reasons
of her own, cried to the crowd, Don't
mind his gun; I poured mug of tabls
beer right down the bar.el." History

Our local Democratic leaders made a
terrible parade last week Of the name of
the State Treasurer, who, by virtue Of
his high office, was to smash into smith
Greens, at Odd Fellows Hall, on Satur-
day night, every erp0se of Democratic
extravaganza made by Republican speak
ers and writers during this campaign. Mr..
Barnes Compton came. But he wisely dis
missed the whole subject of State finances
by referring his hearers to An advertise
ment in that Democratic luminary, the
Baltimore Sun. The fact Of the matter
was, that Mr.. Compton had prepared a
few burning words on the hackneyed
Democratic theme of States Rights, with
which to harrow the souls of his sympa-
thetic hearers, and outside of which he
was afraid to trust himself. The State
Treasurer's stomach was too full of Sena-
tor Groome's wine and terrapin, a phys
ical condition manifestly unfavorable to
a discussion Of an empty State treasury.
We owe the Treasurer some obligation,
certainly, for his delicate appreciation of
the eternal fitness of things. A Ring

and Ceres elbow at his board, harangu-
ing the empty-pocketed and empty-bel-

of those inconsruous spectables smack
ing strongly of Tweedism. We cougratu-
late the Hon. Mr.. Compton that he was
too self-respecting to attempt so disagree

How does the Democratic party of
Cecil treat the fishermen of Cecil who
try to earn their daily bread out of its
waters9 They passed an infamous law
prescribing them as class, and last week
posse conitatus under the lead of a
Democratic constable, pounced down
upon eight nets and two boats, which,
under the authority of this law, they
now deprive their owners of as hostages
for the imposition Of an outrageous fine.
Fishermen of Cecil county should show
their party masters that they have some
rights that they are bound to respect.
They can now do it by voting against the
Democratic Legislative ticket. Let them
send men to Annapolis who are their
friends, and the friends of the poor man
both on land and water. No fishermen
can refuse consistently to vote for Enoch
Haines and Jones.

r. c. THACKERY, Esq, addressed Re-
publican meeting at Rising Sun, on Mon
day evening last. The public hall was
crowded, many bein. forced to stand.
The band gave good music and all things
passed off pleasantly and with profit to
the cause. One individual at the door
seemed to be in the interest of "Briscoe'
and persisted in hurting out his name to
the annoyance of the speaker. Mr..
Thackery spoke over an hour in one con-
tinuous strain of logic and cloquence.
His mastery of the subject convinced
many of his qualifications, his expert
snce and ability for the position he is a
candidate for. He abused no man or set
of men. The people appreciate good
logic and upon merit, aside from other
influence, he made many votes. Robert

On Tuesday next you will go to the polls
to vote for those men who, in your opinion,
are worthy of your support. In regard to
the party with which you will vote, OF tho
men whom you will support, have moth
ing to say; but to one point all men, who
have the interest of the county at heart,
must be alive-be sure you rote a ticket for
Local Option. The Democratic delegates say
they will work on this question as directed
by the ma srity; the Republicans are pledged
Internationally. The Democratic tickets
will have on them "For-AgainSt Local
Option" and the Republican tickets "For
Local Option" If a Democrat is in favor
of law allowing the citizens to vote on
Local Option, he will scratch out against,
and his vote will count for this measure.
If Republican is in favor of the law, he
will leave For Local Option untouched.
Those opposed will scratch out the word for
on the Democrat ticket, and the phrase For
Local Option on the Republican ticket. Let
every thoughtful man see that his vote is
recorded on the side of morality and tenn
perance. If ticket shall fall into your
hands without For Local option on it,
write it on with pencil, and it will count tho
same as if it were printed. Vote with what
ever party you please, but vote for Local
Option. Let no citizen who wants taxes
reduced, the young saved, the erring re-
claimed, fail to vote on the right side of this
great moral question. This vote, of course,
will not give us the law against license, but
it will direct our delegates to make a law SO

ton of "license" or "no license" next

A GORMAN DODGE.

Mr.. Germans Democratic agents in
Cecil county are endeavoring to persuade
Republicans in the 9Th district to vote
for the Democratic candidates for the
Legislature, because they are friends of
Mr. German, and are telling them that
Mr.. German is Greenbacker. 1t is a
first-class dodge. Now the fact is that
Mr.. German is pronounced hard-money
man, and it is due to his efforts that the
Democratic caucus of the last Legisla-
ture did not declare in favor of the Sill
yer bill. Mr.. German openly protested
his hard-money principles from his seat
in the Senate, yet his agents in Cecil
county, to catch every breeze that blows,
represent him as soft-money man when
they think vote can be secured in his
interest. To such shifts as this are the
5x4 managers driven in Cecil.
