The undersigned Republican County
Executive Committee hereby give no.
tice that on
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18th.
there will be held at Elkton Harrison
and Morton Mass Meeting. Each dis
trlct IN the county is requested to send
delegation with band of music to
represent the district in the procession.
All the delegations from the several
districts will DE formed into one general
procession after arriving at Elkton and
will parade through the town. The
Republicans Of each district will have
charge of their own delegation. The

nent speakers of National reputation.
We give this notice at this early date
that all districts in the county may have
ample time to make their arrangements,
etc. This will be one of the largest
meetings ever held in Maryland, and
we hope that the Republicans of each

Harrison and Morton Club in the
county will receive from the under
signed Committee in due time pro-
gramme showing the details of the

Senator Frye's Speech at Ode
Fellows Hall.

By universal consent the Republican
meeting at Odd Fellows Hall on Sat-
urday night was in point OF numbers,
in enthusiasm, and in the character of
the speeches delivered, one OF the most
successful political gatherings ever wit
messed in the county. The oldest men
of the present generation of voters can
readily recall the magnetic eloquence
of many gifted orators who during the
trying hours of the rebellion stirred the
patriotic hearts of our people, but it is
doubtful whether those of the younger
generation, have ever had the oppor-
tunity of hearing an ADLER or more mas
terly presentation of national issues,
than Senator Frye's clear cut and con-
vinclng argument on the tariff. What
greeting more timely or more appro-
pirate, could the victorious Republicans
of Maine send to their political brethren
of Maryland, than the eloquent speech
of her giftedSenator, and who better en-
titled to present him, than he, whose
able ana consistent advocacy of Re-
publican principles has honored the
State of his nativity-Jno. A. J. Ores
well. The common cause in which
Republicans are engaged the main
tainance of our present industrial sys-
tenn, involving as it does the great labor
interests of this country, has no ADLER
champion than he who spoke to US SO
forcibly on Saturday night. Himself
the son OF New England mill owner,
and devoted through long years to the
study of the economic questions that
underlay our National Industrial sys-
TEN, Senator Frye in presenting the is,
sues of this campaign, brings to his aid
an intellect well versed in the logic and
principles of protection, and a mind
we'll stored with wealth of facts, upon
which to base his argument in its de-
fence. We take it, that every one Of
his hearers on Saturday night was all
attentive listener. No man unless he
we're deaf could be otherwise, and we
appeal to every man who heard Sena-
tor Frye to say, whether the conclusion
to be drawn from the facts and figures

heresay or taken from books, but col
lected and collated by him personally,
and bearing directly upon the classes

tainance of our present protective
system1
What presentation of this subject
could 60 straighter home to the hearts
and minds of every working man who
heard him than the recital of his obser-
walton and investigation of the condi-
ton of labor in foreign countries7 He
did not learn this condition, he did not
acquire these facts at the tables OF
dukes and lords, but in the novels and
cabins of England and continental

Col. Lang i'm EIktOn.

Col. Theo. f. Lang our Republican
candidate for Congress made a very
excellent address before the Harrison
and Morton Club of this district on
Friday night of last week. 1t was Col.
Lang's first appearance in this county
since his nomination, and the impress
sion he made upon all vino had the
opportunity of meeting him was, an
exceedingly favorable one. His speech
was replete with good sense and torci-
ble illustrations of the benefits to the
workingman of our protective system.
He was unusually happy in enforcing
his argument by well-told and pertinent
anecdotes, and the good humor which
prevailed throughout his audience at
tested the fact, that although making
no claims to or tory, ye he mas learned
the secret of putting himself IN sympa-
thy with his audience. Col. Lang
opened his speech with short histori-
Cal review of tine history of protection,
showing that ii was a doctrine taught
by the fathers of the Republic, and that
to it, the country largely owed is
wealth and prosperity. That it secured
to the workingman of America such
standard of wages as enabled him to
secure for himself and his family all the
comforts and many of the luxuries of
life, and that under its benifcent ad
vantages he had attained measure OF
respect as an individual, and an inhu-
ence as a class, nowhere else attained
by those who depended upon their labor
as means oflivelihood. He answered The
common but fallacious assertion of the
free traders that trusts were the inevita-
bic ou:growths of high tariff system
by showing that the greediest and most
conspicuous monopoles OF the day
which robbed the people of their sub
stance, were manipulated, owned, and
controlled by prominent Democrats,
such as the Standard Oil Company at
the head of which is Senator Payne of
Ohio trusted adviser of the President,
the coal combination at the head OF
which is VIM. L. Scott, of Pennsylvania,
and that the Presidents Cabinet adj
wiser Secretary Whitney himself owes
his colossal fortune to a similar COM
bination, all OF which trusts and pools
handle and control commodities un
protected by tariff.
We regret that we have not the space
to devote to longer notice OF Col.
Langs speech, but hope that before the
ca mpaign closes he may be able to re-
visit Cecil, and extend his personal &C
quaintance with its voters which his
short visit last week SO auspiciously
began.
