No fact distinguishes the Republican
party from the Democratic more strongly
than the recruits each is receiving
Judge Tourgee, in his speech at Chicago
last week, stated this clearly, as follows:
"Did you ever notice the fact that young
men never leave the Republican party?
Never. Just look over the whole list of
men who are claimed as converts by the
Democrats year after year, and you never
find young men among them. Corpses.
corpses! going into the Democratic grave
yards, seeking that eternal home of the
useless dead. But whenever you find a
man coming from the Democratic party
to the Republican he comes with full
veins: he comes with life before him:
he comes with hope chock full of days
works. 1t is this which makes the dis
tinctive characteristic between the two
parties. Forward is always the Re
publican battle cry. AS you were the
order which rings along the Democratic
line. The one lives i'll the present and
for the future. The other like Il buzz

Republican Meeting at Cumberland.

The Republicans of Allegany county
had grand mass meeting and torchlight
procession in Cumberland, on Wednesday
evening, at which speeches were made by
Hon. NJ. c. Urner, candidate for Con-
gress and III. X. Torbert, Esq, of Elk
ton. The Daily Ners of that city in Civ
ing an account of tho meeting says:
After spirited music by the Queen City
band the chairman introduced Henry r..
Torbert, Esq. OF Cecil county, who was
greeted with tremendous applause. Mr..
Torbert spoke for over an hour and a
half and as he is rapid speaker got a
good deal into the time. He got on the
best terms with his audience in two min
utes by telling a couple of funny stories
in his funniest styles. He brought down
the house by saying that he was IA Dem
ocrat-in 1850. Unlike his friends, Ben
Butler and John W. Forney he had. how
ever left the party to stay. lie reviewed
at length the record of the Democratic
party, making the most telling hits,
which brought down the house. and for
some time kept the audience in roar of
laughter Very few left the hall during
his speech, and when he closed at lO:45
he was given rousing cheer. Mr.. Tor
bert's effort was one of the best campaign
speeches heard here for many years and
we trust we have not heard the last OF
him for this fall.
At the conclusion of Mr. Torbert's adj
dress the meeting adjourned with cheers,
and the regrets of all that the hall had
not been five times its size that all who
desired to attend might have done 50.

LET the workingmen of Cecil county
understand the issue. The Democrats
want tariff for revenue only. That
means that the only object of tariff legis-
lation is to raise revenue. OF course the
lower the tariff the greater the revenue
the greater amount of money obtained.
The interests of our manufacturers and
workingmen are not considered at all.
Protection of home industries is entirely
overlooked and disregarded. This always
was, and still is, the policy of the De-
mocracy. 1t is free trade. With the Re
publicans the opposite policy has always
obtained. They regard protection 10
american industries, and the building up
Of home industries, as the primary object
of all tariff legislation. This is the old
American SYSTEM for the advocacy of
which the free trade South punished
Henry Clay by defeating him for the
Presidency. Let Cecil mechanics con-
slider what their true interests are in this
issue between Garfield and protective
tariff on the one hand, and Hancock and
free trade on the other.

The Banquet of Crow.

There is legend of a king
Who from his head would lift his crown,
And doing SO hal dropped his ring,
Which by crow was gobbled down.
My legend beats that old one hollow,
Which all who read will soon admit
In that, the crow ring did swallow;
In mine, the Ring did swallow it.
My legend says, King Arthur gave
y feast, and had brave knights around,
And all We're bright and jolly, save
When naught but crow to eat was found.
At table head there sat the King,
And at its foot his hcnchnan Fred:
Between We're those who fought the Ring,
But to the banquet had been led
a crownless King was seen apart
With heavy weights his feet beside
For William, being pure of heart,
Twas feared he upward soon would glide.
When lids were raised they saw but crow,
Each dish containing that black bird;
| Then Al and Herman groaned, and oh
The curses loud and deep heard.
But if they cursed, they tried the thing,
Though once or twice they seemed to Sicken:
At last they picked each leg and wing,
And swore they tasted like young chicken.
Since then they knecl before the King,
And daily eat their dish of Grow,
Claiming such diet is the thing
TO make Il party thrive and grow.

Under protective tariff New Jersey is

A tariff for revenue only would at once

DELAWARE ELECTION.

At the Little Election " in Delaware,
ON Tuesday, the Republicans carried New
Castle county, and made large gains in
Kent and Sussex counties. The Repub-
lican have strong hopes of elccting their
candidate for Congress, and giving the
electoral vote of the State to Garfield and
Arthur. The workingmen of Whining
ton are being aroused to the danger that
threatens their interests, and are going
to vote with the party that has always
legislated with reference to the welfare
of the whole country.

THE ELECTION IN CONNECTICUT

The returns show the adoption of the
Constitutional amendment by majority
of 5000. SO towns are Republican, 56
towns were Democratic, SO Republican
and 4 divided. Thus making almost a
reversal of the former status. This is
the first straw pointing to the result of
the November elections.

THERE is tremendous Democratic
