The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1886-09-25

The Republican Second Congressional
District nominating convention met in
Baltimore City on Thursday. Townsend
Poole placed John r. Bond, of Cecil
county, in nomination, }. Thompson
Frieze, of Hartford, seconded the nomina-
ton and Carroll and Hartford counties
having no candidates rendered their votes
to Mr.. Bond Mr. Bond who was pres
ent declined the nomination. He was
requested to reconsider by Hartford, Car
roll aud Baltimore delegates but persis
ted in his defamation. Mr.. Frieze, of
Hartford, then nominated Hon. VIM. M.
Marine, of Hartford, as the old Republi
can war horse. He was nominated by
reclamation and accepted the honor i'll a
happy speech.
Mr.. Marine is citizen of Hartford
county and practices law in Baltimore
city. He has been the nominee of his
party for prominent offices more than
once, including the clerk of the Court of
Appeals and Congress. He is a good
speaker and is personally popular. He
returned from European trip few
days ago and his nomination Tor Con-
gress was thrust upon him. Notwith.
standing his unsuccessful fights hereto
fore with the democracy, MIR. Marine is
one of the strongest men in his party.

THE action of the grand jury at the
term of court now IN session in ignor
ing the indictments against VIM. Henry
Webster and VIM. Cole, both colored,
charged with the killing of white men is
not one to be passed by without COM
mendable notice. 1t was well known
to those who were acquainted with the
facts of these cases that the slayers
acted in pure self-defence and one was
not only defending his person, but his
family and homestead against the lnva,
sion OF a drunken man who had NAL
treated him. This action shows an adj
vance in the consideration of the equality
before the law OF the white and the col
ored, man in practice, which has been
held for years in theory. Who can doubt
but that if this negro Webster had killed
McNelly under the same circumstances
twenty -hve years ago in the First cleo
ton district of this county, he would
have been lynched without even an in
quiry into the facts of the case. Yet
this week a grand jury finds rightly that
the colored man was not blamable for
killing the white man, while defending
his person and his home.

4 WORD TO MIR. BOND.

Al have never been identified with either
faction in our county, but one of them
has thought it wise 70 serve notice on me
that they were not with me, and, there
fore. | cannot peril the success of the
ticket, and must decline
The above language is reported by
the Baltimore american as having
come from Mr.. John r. Bond of this
county in the Congressional Conven-
ton on Thursday We beg leave %
correct what we believe is Mr.. Bonds
misconception of the situation in this
county. Mr.. Bond as the Republican
candidate for the State Senate in this
county last fall, fully aware, that the
Local Option issue then was a pending
one, committed himself squarely to the
Liquor interest of this county, Demo
cratic and Republican alike, and as
being in favor of the repeal of the pres
ent Local Option law. This error of his
in antagonizing the Temperance classes
of Cecil, and in identifying himself
with the Whiskey classes,was the straw
that broke the Camel's back. But for
this Mr.. Bond would net then, nor would
he have been this fall antagonized by
any organized element of his party
THE WIG opposed him s0Ir/p on
this issue. Personally it and its editor
were kindly disposed towards him.
Tney are still SC. and had he been nom
mated on Thursday for Congress, would
have cordially supported him, the issue
of prohibition in our judgment not be-
ing involved in a Congressional con-
test. He can accept this assurance or
reject it, just as he sees fit. But he
should not attribute to other causes
unweIcome results solely the result of
his own injudicious attitude on an i'm
portant public question which is now,
and was last fall, very close to the
hearts of the best people of Cecil.

Our NOTION OF A STORE.
Not the building-the men
and women and boys and girls
the Observation-Disclosures
last but not least the mcr-
chandise.
The building comfortable,
big enough, full of light and air,
the parts adapted to seeing
things that have to be seen to
be sold, and for touching things
that have to be touched. If it
be a beautiful building SO much
the better; noble, better yet;
but use before beauty and dig
nifty. The advantage of archi-
tectural grace in a store is to
predispose you toward the mer-
chant and merchandise. That
is a secondary matter. Saving
of work, which is saving of time,
comes first; all sorts of work.
1t tells in the prices; and prices
they are the test in a store.
Accommodations: places to sit,
wait, meet, talk, rest, eat, drink
and be merry; whatever is done
between business-place to
leave ones parcels of course.
One of the handiest institu-
tons of our generation is the
general store in the city. 1t diff
fers from the country store in
size-it is big enough to deal
in all sorts of things that go
we'll together; in nearness to
source Of supply-nearness
nowadays isn't measured by
miles-it can buy of the maker;
in versatility-it can gather and
use experts in every sort of
merchandise;in facilities-itcan
provide the means of doing
everything quickly, easily, we'll
and cheaply; in taking respon-
silbilities-it can say to the
maker-thereis no one between
them to hinder: my things
must be right, am pledged for
them 1t can say to its Gus
toner: My things are right,
| know the maker, | guarantee
them 1t can say for its ser
wants, its statesmen and packers
and cartmen and common car
riers: MY things are to good
to be wasted by their neglect,
my reputation too important to
be impaired by their indiffer-
ence, they must do their work

As the experience of every farmer in
Cecil county amply attests, the cost of
necessary fencing is a serious item of
expenditure. As bearing on this sub

special attention of the farmers of the
county to communication in the
''People's Column from a committee
