The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1885-07-25

Jones, ST., who for years has been a
representative Republican of his sec
ton of the county. Like majority of
the Republicans of the county we do
not enjoy the honor of personal &C
quaintance with the nominee, his politi
cal activity in the First election district
having only recently brought him into
public notice. 1t is presumed, how
ever, that the necessary work of the
campaign will take him outside of the
narrow limits of the political circle
within which he has heretofore confined
himself.
The convention we think has made
an excellent selection in the person of
SAMUAL NJ. JOHNSON as the candidate
for the Sheriflalty. He has always been
a consistent Republican, and is univer-
sally respected and esteemed as a man
OF character and probity. He is far
mer by occupation, and among his fell
low farmers of the Fifth district no one
is more respected personally than he.
For that important business place of
the people, the County Commissioners
office, three gentlemen have been
selected against whom no shadow of
reasonable objection can be urged.
WILLIAM T. BYE, of the Fourth dis
trict, is in every sense a good citizen,
man of quiet demeanor, deliberate
judgment and excellent business quail
fications.
JOHN c. MCNANEE, his associate on
the ticket, is one of the prosperous and
successful farmers Of the Fifth district.
He is the worthy son of an equally
worthy father, the late VIM. McNamee,
a recently deceased member of the
Elkton Methodist Episcopal church, in
which he was for many years respected
and influential. John c. McNamee is
as good business man as there is in
the county. He has the ability and
the sense to manage his own business
successfully, which we regard as the
best recommendation for the office for
which he has been nominated.
WILLIAM I. BRADFORD, of the Sec
ond district, whose name completes
the commissioners ticket, is a member
OF the highly esteemed Delaware family
of that name, but who for a number of
years past has been resident of this
county. His record is that of man
of principle and decision of character.
He is recognized in his section of the
county as an intelligent, and influential
farmer, courteous in his intercourse
with Others and esteemed for many ex-
cellent qualities of hand and heart.
If the Republican and conservative
voters of Cecil county shall be fortunate
enough to send JOHN r. BOND to the
Senate of Maryland, they will have a
representative there who will honor his
county and state. There are few bet
ter read men in Cecil than Mr.. Bond,
Intelligent, cultured and scholarly, we
regard his nomination as in every sense
an excellent one. Besides, his business
record as one of the we'll known Cecil
firm of Bond Brothers, eminently quail
ifies him for Legislative position,
which, supplemented by his literary &C
quirements, render his mental equip
ment for such position as complete
as could be desired.
For the House of Delegates three
gentlemen have been selected, each of
them worthy of cordial support.
CHARLES w. WILSON is a successful
mechanic of the Sixth district. He
stands high at home as a man whose
word is as good as his bond, aud who,
if sent to Annapolis, has character
enough to resist any amount of polit-
ical bribery. We should like to indulge
the hope that Mr.. Wilson will reach
the state capital, for in him Cecil would
have creditable representative.
HUGH r. CAMERON is another highly
respected citizen and a resident in
the Ninth election district, who
through long life has shared the
respect of his fellowmen. A man of
sound judgment and good sense, who
would honor his county if elected.
Mr.. ROMAN TAAIaIANy, the youngest
man on the ticket, is a self-respectng
gentleman, native, we believe, of Har-
ford county, but now located at Cecil
ton, where he is at present engaged as
a teacher. He is a courteous, intell-
gent and we'll educated man, who
shares the respect Of the community in
which he is best known.
HENRY NJ. NICoLs, nominated for
county surveyor, is especially qualified
for this position. He is thoroughly ex-
perienced professionally, and is a gen
-leman of intelligence and respecta-
oility.
As previous to the nominations we
harmony among the Repub-
leans Of Cecil, now that they are be-
ore the people we bespeak for them
he support their merit entities them to.
