The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1883-07-14

Elkton Republican lieutenants Of DEM
ocratic boss have already commenced in
the columns of paper (7Ae Nens), whose
editor has been lifelong Democrat, the
publication of their yearly series of
anonymous letters, purporting to come
from different localities in the county,
but all manufactured, in reality, in one
office in Elkton, and pretending to voice
the sentiment of the Republican party of
the several localities.
In these letters men who are Infinitely
superior to the authors (of whom there
are two, one Republican. the other a
Democracy, in every quality that goes to
make up true manhood. are denounced
and vililied and held up to public con-
demnation, their motives aspersed, their
purposes deliberately misrepresented
their acts maliciously distorted and their
characters violently and wickedly AS
sailed.
To the authors of these letters no
statement, however false; no allegation,
however Infamous, seems to be too ex-
treme for theii dyspeptic and splenetic
pens.
All this political literature, weekly ill.,
ficted or to be inflicted on us, has, how
ever, a reason behind it. IL Is part Of the
ConstaJle 1lan TO capture tie Republican

That it will succeed, cannot believe.
Certain it is, it will meet with ignomini-
Gus failure, if the honest Republicans of
Cecil county, Thus forewarned, will fore
arm themselves; and when the prouer
time comes, will select their best men to
represent them in the County Conven-
ton.
The gentlemen who have been and will
be again, assailed have not seen proper
to make any public answer to the dia-
tribes thus. periodically. launched against
them, nor am | aware of their intention
in that respect. ! am not their represen.
tative. and | do not speak in their behalf.
They are. when occasion demands, album
dainty able to defend themselves. To
