ELKTON, MD, June 1S,-The first
county convention this year in the State
was held here to day by the democratic
party. The convention was called to
order in Odd-Fellows Hall by George w.
Cruikshank, a member of the county
central committee. He referred
to the fact that. while Cecil was
Democratic county, owing to factional
discord all the county offices but one
were in the hands of the Republicans
He counseled harmony, and said that on
the action Of the convention depended
the future welfare Of the party. Mr..
Sutton declined the Office of permanent
chairman and ex Senator Levi r. Mearns

to agree on candidates the doors were

the first ballot receiving 2S votes to 10

tion.
Mr.. Writ is a we'll known lawyer of
good practice. He graduated at St.
Johns College, Annapolis, in 1872,
studied law and was admitted to the bar
in Baltimore, where he practiced for some
years. finally removing to Chicago. He
subsequently returned TO Elkton, where
he has since resided. He represented
the Second Congressional district in the
national convention that gave President
Cleveland his first nomination. He is a
fluent and forcible speaker, and has been

Suffrage Free From Tax.


Philadelphia Times.
The suffrage amendment to the Consti-
tuition was adopted yesterday by very
large vote. The politicians of both par
ties were for it for their own selfish pur-
poses; the political dead beats and
bummers were with them, and the great
mass Of good citizens let the issue 90 by
default.
Well, there was vastly better way to
avoid the Doodle tax system for mendicant
or Indifferent voters by making it imper.
ative for every citizen to appear in person
to register and pay his taxes; but that
was too manly and too patriotic for
modern politics, and suffrage and sover-
eighty were cheapened and degraded to
enable petty bosses to handle voters who
don't think the right of suffrage worth
25 cents year to support government
that protects their persons and property.
There's no use crying over spilled milk.
and untaxed suffrage is now an integral
part of our Constitution, with every
prospect of good stay.

THE election of w. f. Chandler as
United States Senator on the promise to
turn out 3s members of Congress from
the South is an evidence Of bad feeling
in New Hampshire towards the Southern
states. The Southern states have been
forced back into the union but still they
are not to be allowed equal privileges
with other states unless they can be
forced into the Republican party.
Chamberlain maintains that the states
are not in the union unless they vote the
Republican ticket.

IT would be rather odd If 1t should be
shown, after all the talk and all the Sc
crecy and all the expense, that City
Councils Legislative Committee was
really responsible for the passage of the
rider to the q street bill. The absence of
the members OF the committee from
Dover at a critical time-the day the bill
was passed-seems to shift the responsi
bility TO their shoulders. At least that Is
what one man In Wilmington said TO one
Of the reporters yesterday. Morning
News.
1t has bsen the object Of the Republi.
cans to try to shift the responsibility of
every fraud and crime to the Democrats.
That is the only defence the News can
urge, for the evidence in this case shows
that this G street bill is In the hand
writing Of Charles H. Maull, Republi-
can legislator. who has been rewarded
with an office by Senator Higgins The
Republican machine partisans seem abso-
lutely incapable of shame. Every
time they cry fraud, perjury or
chicanery of any kind the guilty ones
are in their own ranks and generally
they are in high positions. Within a
short time the stolen Twelfth ward as
sessment list was brought in by Mr..
Bach The forged tax receipts were found
in the hands of Republicans and Mr..
Phillips, the distinguished negro poll
tician who gave out the forged tax re-
ceipts. has decamped In short, when
ever the Republicans come out on the

their possession.
