The consensus of opinion among the
leading Republicans, and this view was
heartily concurred in by all the men,
bers of the State Central Committee,
was, that the main object of the cam
psign, and to this the most energetic
efforts of the managers will be directed,
will be to capture the next Legislature.
Assuming that such an event will hap
pen, and it is by no means unlikely to
occur, should the full Republican vote
be brought out in November next, the
friends of tour distinguished gentlemen
one of whom has already served his
State in both halls of Congress, as we'll
as in the Cabinet of President Grant
John A. J. Cresswell, will urge their
claims for favorable consideration. The
other three members, James A. Gary, a
rich cotton manufacturer, who employs
hundreds of operatives, and has always
been most liberal in contributing when
ever money has been needed for party
purposes Thomas S. Hodson, present
State Senator from Somerset County,
and very prominent candidate for the
United States District Attorneyship, and
Louis E. McComas, the present able
representative from the Sixth District
of this State in the Lower House OF
Congress. Either of the gentlemen
named, will, if elected, serve his con-
stltuents in a manner which will reflect
credit alike upon himself and his State.

Tile Meas occasionally strikes the
vein of common sense and, by way of
encouraging it, THE WHIG occasionally
quotes what The Meas has to say. But
as rule, Tile Meas is so "razzle-daz-
zled," so mixed, jumbled up and con-
fused that The WING and all other
level-headed journals have to give 1t

Our b0Acy-a new policy.
The new Autumn things are
crowding in upon us hourly
for the present let them care
for themselves. You'll find
them.
ust now our talk is on a
new feature for the opening of
a season. We call 1t our
September Limited Sale.
The limitations are:
First. Space. With all the
vastness of the store we can
only give to the special Bar
gains that are in this sale the
required room for a Limited
Period. The new things may
wait a little now, but you
wouldn't be pleased were they
not prominent soon.
Second. Time. From the reg
ular business now pressing
hard upon us we cannot divert
attention very long. The ebb
and flow of the merchandise of
the seasons is a movement
quite like the tides. Occasion
ally there is a freshet. This
is a freshet, a,hood-soon over.
1t must be to give place to the
regular proceedings of the
stufs and things. Hence Lin
tied by Time.
Third. Quantities. All
things in this Limited Sale are
at prices very far below value,
and of course Limited. They
cannot be replaced. You get
them by unusual conditions.
Somebody loses more or less
heavily on each item. Men
may be mostly FOOLS" but
they are not gone SO clean daft
as to continuelosing Indefinitely.
Hence an end in view to the
biggest lots.
And that's the why of the
title:

Whatever agreement or disagreement
may exist in the Republican party, it is
certain that the Democr cy of Cecil
County is not happy family. The
outward appearance of that aggregation
of the unterrifed may be peaceful and
serene, but, beneath the surface, the
watchtul observer may catch many
gllmpses and hear many sounds indl-
cative of unrest.
The only hope of those of the Dem
ocratic managers who sincerely desire
Democratic success is in quiet cam

no contrasting of records, no discussion
of facts, no great public interest aroused
in the matter of State or County adj

said of the internal condition of the
Democratic party.
Without any aggressive display, they
seek to tide over the weeks that inter-
yene between this and that fateful No
