made with Democrats as with members
of their own party. In other words,
that they have transacted the road bust
ness OF the County strictly upon bust
ness principles, looking to the securing
the best man to do the work without
regard to his politics. This strictly
non-partizan course, we have heard II
asserted, may cost them a few votes in
their own party, but which as we have
this week heard conservative Demo
crat assert, will be more than over
come, by the increased votes cas-: for
them by Democrats less partizan than
yourself General. When you talk about
party standards General, do you not
know that the uniform practice of your
party in Cecil, has been to dispense all
party favors big and little to Demo
Gratis exclusively Precious few plums
OF patronage have fallen into Republl-
can baskets, under Democratic Admin
istratlons in this county. Come Gen
eral, you must be fairer and more
impartial chronicler of recent political
history in Cecil, would you have US
respect your editorial utterances.

Only two years ago the people of
Cecil County elected Board OF County
Commissioners on non-partisan princi-
piles and the moment these gentlemen
got into office they discovered that
they were partisans, represented the
Republican party in county affairs, and
that the Democrats, who really elected
them, were public enemies. In other
matters this model board has done
neither worse nor better than its Tenn
ocratic predecessors, but in no case has
1t risen above party standards.-Cecil
Democrat.
Allow US to contradict you politely
General. We assert what we know to
be true, when we say, that no recently
elected Board of County Commission
ers has been so thoroughly non partizan
as the present Board. In fact, they
have in the administration of the bust
ness Of their office been so undiscrimi-
mating, that complaint has been heard
from certain Republicans, more radical
partizans than they are, that in the
management of the roads of the county,
a Democrat stood just as good chance
of recognition as themselves. Instead
of treating Democrats as public enc
mics as you assert, we declare, that the
record will show that quite as many
contracts for Road Repairs have been

We think we remember many ex-
travagant promises about the low taxes
the Republicans would give US. Last
year the tax rate was 100 cents. This
year it is 67A cents. Average for the
two years S358 cents-not a very low
rate after all.-CecH Democrat.
Don't be impatient General. After
our good Board of Commissioners are
reelected this fall, and they have got
from under the load OF accumulated
Indebtedness piled on them by success
sive Boards elected by your party, we
may reasonably look for the very low
rate of taxation, which Republican and
Democratic taxpayers alike pray for.

Figures That Tell.

Our amiable contemporary the CecI
Democrat was rather prolific IN politi
cal squibs last week, the most of which
were harmless little political shots which
don't hurt those they are fired at, and
make the fellow who fires them feel
good. If we come right down to the
serious business of the present campaign
and the issues involved 1t, but one
statement made by our contemporary
last week would seem to require refu-
tatlon, and that was the assertion, that
last year the rate of taxation in the
county (under Republican rule) was
higher than it ever was in twenty years
of Democratic rule. As it IS material
to the issue that the people should
know exactly why this was so, and the
reasons for which, we of course cannot
reasonably expect the Democrat to
state, we give place to the following
communication from a prominent bus
mess man, as extremely pertinent to
the issue
The Cecil Democrat, among other
political squibs IN its last weeks issue
asserts some things and queries about
others. 1t says the taxes last year were
higher than under twenty years of Dem
ocratic rule, but ignores the reason why
and adds, "the Democratic boards of
County Commissioners built new
Court Horse, an Insane Asylum and
many excellent bridges" but forgot to
state the reason for the high taxes last
year which was, that the pr sent Board of
County Commissioners had to provide
and pay about forty thousand dollars
on account of said buildings and bridg-
es, and l presume they think it cause
of sincere corgratulation that they have
not had expensive buildings and bridges
to build, in view of the other RESPONSE
billties thrown upon them. ] notice
however, in their Annual Statement that
they provided and paid for seven new
School Houses last year, and have made
provision for four this year. These
therefore may be considered as being
equally adapted to the public veal as
those noted by the Democrat, and 1t is
satisfaction TO know their successors
will not have to provide for their pay
ment, by levying upon the people.
The Democrat admits there has been
a saving in expense in mending roads,
but adds that this is owing to the excel
lent condition in which they were left by
their predecessors. Comment upon
this is unnecessary, as the public know
as to the correctness of this statement.
The Democrat then says the Com
missioners levied $1,000 more last
year than was needed. By comparison
of levy with that of former boards, find
they were not more liberal in their pro-
vision for the public needs than their
pre- ecessols, but the fact IS, the surplus
OF last year represents the savings in
number of accounts, list OF which l
have been kindly allowed to copy from
the Commissioners books, and here

The really great business of
the Autumn begins this week.
The Dress Goods show their
heads like Spring crocuses,
and quite as beautiful, all over
the main floor. The old state
ment can be made again, only
more SO, namely: You may
search the shops of London,
the grand magazins of Paris,
the large stores of New York
or Chicago, and yet you will
not find an equal choice of
Dress Goods with that which
we will show this season. They

are placed on sale rapidly.
Already we can bewilder you

The editor of the Democrat treated
his readers last week to an elaborate
editorial upon PRINCIPLES Us. Men. If
this be the key note of the Democratic
campaign in Cecil this fall, is not the
logical conclusion fair one, that the
personnel OF their ticket is not as strong
as they would like it2

principles not Men" cries our Dem
ocratic contemporary.
What does this mean2
Why simply the re-affirmation of the
old and pernlcious doctrine, that the
worst man on our side is better than
the best man on the other side, that
stale and deceptious maxim OF partizan
politics, under which corrupt party
leaders have from time immemorial
rallied their subservlent followers. The
intelligent sentiment of both political
parties has long since repudiated it,
and the personal qualification and fit
ness of candidates for public office has
come to be proper matter of general
inquiry. The mere stamp of party
regularity isn't enough to carry incom-
petent candidates through. The re-
cords OF both parties in Cecil County
snow this,
