: There must be something radically
wrong with a Democratic Ticket, wher
an Elkton newspaper, which floats q
Democratic flag at it's forepeak, mis-,
names five out of nine of it's party's
nominees.

party has set the glittering prize of the
sherifalty, only to dazzle and disap-
point him3
And then who is MERRITT MCNAMEE,
whose middle name has been so sug-
gestiveIy ignored1
And lastly what has become of J.

That ticket made even The Ce6l
County Meas the Would-6e Dem0cra-
tic organ come up "gloggy. In
it S first issue after the convention no
editorial word of commentator ap
pears, while in its local department
it confesses the weakness of the
nominations, and placed at the head
of its columns ticket that had not
been nominated at all. In fact, ii
named in one portion of its issue a
certain A. L. Boyd, as its candidate
for Sheriff, and in another J. A.
Boyd; in one, Thomas Pearce, as its
candidate for the House of Delegates
and in another Joseph Pearce, and
gives as its candidate for County
Surveyor, Samuel T. Hindman, when
7. Frank Hindman was really nomi-
mated.
Which ticket does it support any
how? Ifthat interesting journal hopes
to gain the favor of 1.-THE youngsters, "
it must swallow the doses offered it,
with less visible nasuea, than that
with which it took it's first dose.

travagant party administration. 1t IS
upon this class of men that the Demo
cratic party has heretofore largely drawn
for candidates in Cecil County. A, B
and C have been elected to this place
or that, because they were available to
ID, E and +, who were manipulating for
the time the politics of the county, and
A, B and c were available solely in the
interest of clique and faction. Re-
view the history of Democratic politics
in Cecil County for the past ten years,
marked by the biennial recurrence of a
most emblttered factional contest for
local supremacy, and note how few
have been chosen for important public
offices who were selected because they
were pre- eminently qualified for such
positions. Indeed il can be truthfully
asserted that qualification was entirely
over looked in almost every instance,
the managers and local leaders, relying
Upon their conceded majority in the
county to secure the election of men
in the interest of their clique and fac
ton. History repeats itself in the case
of the convention of Tuesday last. The
leaders of the Young Democracy have
failed to profit by the experience OF
their elders. 1t would be difficult to
demonstrate in what measure or degree
they are, less unscrHpulous of party
power, or what Improvements mark
their party methods over those whom
they have displaced in party leadership.

1t might be a wise thing on the
part OF the youngsters" who noml-
mated the so-called ticket, to appoint
a committee to ascertain the correct

The returns of the vote on prohibl
ton in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, show
that the Amendment has been defeated
by larger popular majority than was
expected. In explanation OF this re-
suit the most satisfactory reason we
have seen is that given by the Philadel-
phia LEDGER which says, that the
Amendment was in very bad shape both
as to what it protested to express and
as to what it tailed to attempt to enact.
If it had been adopted the good people
of the Commonwealth might have found
themselves deprived OF not only the
Brooks Tavern License Regulating act,
but of all penal laws against the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors
without license, the sale OF such liquors
on Sunday, the sale to minors, to habit.
ual drunkards-and, indeed, every other
penal law on the subject and this con-
dltion must have continued several
months, probably for two years, posi-
bly, more. While there was provision
for the enactment of laws by the Legis-
lature to enforce the amendment, there
was no provision for the continuance
of existing penal laws IN the interim,
until the Legislature should enact the
new laws and how negligent or how
defiantly drsobedient a Legislature may
be in such case, if it chooses to be so,
has been signally illustrated by the re-
fusal of that body for many years to
obey several of the clear mandates of
the Constitution of 1874.
Well informed people were naturally
and properly apprehensive about this
but this most cogent deterrent was in
the influence Of those who believed that
the Brooks act, which was working SO
well, should have an undsturbed trial
for several years, and that it was sound
policy in this respect to let well enough
alone"

CHAwLES.

The sheriff racket" was well
worked in the Third "Deestrick" by
the Young Democratic Civil Service
Reform Association. Four mis-
guided champions entered the lists.
Jimmy Lewis played right royal
hand, and laid out King early in the
first round. As the play closed.
there was so much merit (Merritt)
in him, that Jimmy knocked his last
opponent Lee Ward, only to be
slaughtered by his own friends from
the Fourth 'Deestrick. 1t was a
mean trick towards so plucky a
champion.

The young Democratic leaders must
be sorely pressed for material when
they &C to Delaware to select delegate
to represent Cecil County in State
Convention. More than a year ago,
MIR. VIM. Ward well known citizen OF
the First district, moved to Wilmington
with his family where ne IS now keep
ing house, being engaged, as Real
Estate Agent and Conveyancer with
MIR. Tohn NJ. Miller also resident there
under the firm of Ward & Miller. Yet
MIR. Ward was selected on Tuesday as
the head of the State delegation.

We have no disposition to indulge
merely personal criticism of the candi-
dates whom the Democratic conven
ton has just presented to the voters of
Cecil County, but their public records
and their individual qualification for the
positions for which they have been
named are fair subjects of comment in
the public interest.
Although some little time must inter
vene before the Republican ticket can
be selected, yet popular sentiment has
already indicated the re nomination of
the present Board OF County Commits
sioners. As conscientious and capable
public officers they have made splen-
did business record. This fact the tax
payers of every class throughout the
county recognize. When they assumed
the duties of their office, they found an
accumulated floating Indebtedness OF
nearly, if not quite, thirty thousand dol
lars against the county. This indebted
ness had not been incurred by any one
Democratic board which had preceded
them, but had been contracted by sew
eral successive boards. This debt OF
the county, accumulated since 1884,
has been discharged in full, out of the
levy for last year-ISSS-and that be-
fore the expiration of the year. 1t
| compelled an additional levy of twenty
cents to do it, but it has been done
and the lew for this year will be only
seventy cents on the hundred. In view
of the business capacity exhibited by
this board and the economic method:
which it has adopted in this important
office of the people, we assert that the
| Democratic convention by its nomina
tons of Tuesday, has practically con-
ceded the reelection Of tile gentlemen
zOho now fill that office so creditably to
themselves and their party, and SC
proftably to the people.

Hanamaker's.


PHILADELPHIA, Monday, June Il, 1889.
You may think you know
about Wanamaker's, you who
have been here and wandered
through its broad aisles and
made use of the many helps
to your comfort always at your
command. And you do, as
visitors see it. But you don't
know the store unless you
know how we'll it can supply
your wants, from a pair Of shoe
laces to the complete furnish
ing Of a house, without your
ever leaving home. Visitors
see little evidence of the buying
constantly being done by the
thousands and thousands Of
people who cannot come to the
store, and possibly never will
come. But it goes on all the
time-quietly, systematically.
Most of the machinery is out
of sight. All that is visible is
the number of skilled shoppers
going from counter to counter,
and from department to de-
partment, selecting, matching,
chooslng-hlling with the ut
most care the written orders
from out-oftown customers.
That is the side of Wanna
makers tor people out Of town.
When you come to Philadel-
phia we want the store to be a
home to you. When you are
at home we want it to be at
home with you.
Hence the General Gaia
logue.
We've told Of it before.
Can'ttell of it too often-if you
haven't it in the house.
The book is large I92-page
quarto, telling clearly and
briefly Of the goods of the store
and their prices; giving pictures
wherever it can. 1t is SO ar
ranged and indexed that you
can find any article in an in
slant. And you can have it by
sending a postal card with your
name and address plainly writ
ten.
YOU can then write for what
you want easily and with
knowledge, and be served as
if you we're here buying in per
son.
