The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1889-10-05

AS In courtesy bound we have read
carefully the latest editorial utterances
of our contemporary of the Cecil Demo
c,at upon local politics, and while we
have always been impressed, and in
many instances astonished by the gran
duer of his rhetorical figures, we have
been no less often disappointed at the
pauclty and poverty of his figures, par
ticularly when attempting to illustrate
the mathematics of the County Com
mis,ioners' office. For instance he
recently submitted an exhibit, which he
intended, or at least hoped, would i'm
press his readers with the idea that the
taxpayers of this county had been &C.
tually blessed with lower rates of taxa
ton under Democratic than under Re-
publican rule. And yet when inter
preted by the light of recent political
events in the county, but one conclu-
sion can be drawn from the premises
laid down by Mr.. Cruikshanks, and that
very astonishing one, viz, that the
Democratic party had been defeated in
Cecil county in 1887, because its con-
tinuous administration of county affairs
had been by comparison with that OF
the Republicans a more economical
one. We don't assert of course that the
General intended in his mathematical
fight to formulate this proposition, bu,
it is exactly what ne did do, else had
his figures no significance whatever.
Now it is fact beyond argument,
that the present Republican board of
County Commissioners was in 1887
elected by an average majority of 2I2
votes in this county. That at least is
matter Of very recent political history IN
Democratic (2) Cecil. Now we repeat
that IN view of that election, he only
conclusion to be drawn from the Demo
cyat'S exhibit is, if it was true EXHIBIT,
that his party was defeated because
it yaS economical, or by making as the
editor of the Democrat asserts, lower
rate of taxation than was made by Re-
publican boards of commissioners.
Now was this the cause, could this
be the reason of his party's loss of this
county IN 1872 On the contrary, was
it not for totally different reason, viz,
that his party had grown reckless in
management, and had become careless
and extravagant in expenditure Were
not those great brincibleS the editor of
the Democrat talks about, just as active
political factors ID the breasts of Cecil
Democrats then as they are now1 And

Designing Democratic politicians
have recently made very studied at
tempts to excite some kind of race
trouble over Mr. Frederick Douglass
movements, by all sorts of ridiculous
stories of the refusal of naval officers on
account of his color to accord him the
honors due American Ministers. But
Mr.. Douglass has not only sailed for
Hayti on Government vessel, but has
received the customary salute OF fifteen
guns in his honor, with the last echo of
which we might we'll wish there mad also
the last feeble effort to stir political died
prejudice over the color of a mans
skin.

yet tor good and sufficient business rea-
sons there were enough Democrats liv-
ing in Cecil in 1887 10 subordinate prin-
ciples TO the question to the relative per
sonal qualification of candidates in the
public demand for better, more eco
nomical and safer administration OF
county affairs. And yet in view of these
facts, to use a harsh word, our cotem
porary from the pressure of present
party emergency in the county, unwit-
tingly gives the lie TO what his party did
two years ago.
Now we showed we think conclu
sively last week, to any fair man al
least, by figures taken from the records OF
the commissioners office, that this Skoze
of lower rate of taxation under Demo-
cratic management Of the commissioners
office had been a deceptive one, ana
that to make that Shozg for political
uses and ends, heavy deficiencies had
been carried from year to year, amount,
ing in the aggregate-including the
bonded debt-to the large sum Of
S72, 396.oI.
Under this unpromising condition o.
county affairs, the present board Of
commissioners in response solely to the
demands made upon them by then
fellow taxpayers. and not in any sense
by their own act or seeking, accepted
this to the people most important but
to them most thankless office. They
have, in a business sense, brought order
out of chaos in that office by such ar
administration of its affairs, as COM
mends them to all classes alike of oul
voters.

TACOMA, Washington, Oct. 2.-It is too
early to predict the result throughout the
State, but enough is known to warrant
assertion that the Republican majority

is very badly mixed, particularly in the

be over fifteen.
