Tne following lo,ger nom Dr. X, I.
Makali to tie Baltimore SUa On the iso-
spouslbihsy Of County Members was
published in the issue of Wednesday last.
Two years ago the Hon. Geo. Cotton
said on tho floor of the House of Dele
gates, "Dr. Mackall is a man OF inteiii-
geuce, but is mere tyro in politics.,
and the honorable msmber from B!iti-
more city was certainly right, at least III
the second clause of his declaration. L
assuredly am a tyro in Cotton politlcs'
aud hope to remain SO to the end OF the
chapter But, as little versed as l may
be in practical politics, it impresses me
as very peculiar that yourcity politicians
should appeal to the county members TO
let them take care of city politics, as
they alone can know what the city needs.
l had always supposed that Baltimore
city was part of the state of Maryland,
and that county members, although igno-
rent of the ways and by-ways OF city
politicians, had some interest IN city eiec-
tious. If my memory is not at fault your
city delegations, both in the Senate and
House, made very earnest appeals 10
county Senators aud Delegates during
the session of 1888 to come to their aid
on the famous Belt bill, and again when
a new iceboat was needed for your haroor.
The city has its own government, and
with that the counties do not purpose
interfering. But as the city is, politically,
about one-half of the State, electing three
Senators, one fifth of the members OF the
House of Delegates, two members OF
Congress, and making parts of two other
congressional districts, l am Justified IN
out very large, interest in your city
elections. A little leaven leavens the
whole loaf, and if the city elections are
leavened with machine made yeast fear
there will be big loaf OF unpalstable
bread for the people of Maryland. All!
why do these non tyro gentleman hight SO
hard for she dear old city and it's immuni-
ties? Why do they SO dread imposing
upon your voters tried and proved
ballot law, and yet are so willing to accept
a law no mortal man ever heard of until
far to seek. They are afraid, honestly
afraid, OF the tried and proved, and want
their county friends TO let them try and
prove hybrid, cross between thou
shalt not steal" and put money in thy |
purse"
Let your city members take note: The
Democrats of Maryland demand of their
representatives full redemption of their
party's pledges, ana will be satisfied With
nothing less Their honor as yell as
their political fufnre il at stake. and they |
will not subm +. TO the prostitution Of
the former or the en.iar Erring Of the lat
ter. They know the S ate is ID m'cratic
on an honest vote, and they will not
longer carry the charge Of their enemies
that they maintaii thew political supre
macy by fraud II Baltimore city is now
republican, it h*s becclnn 30 by the in
famous policy ana practices OF machine
politicians, and the time has come for
the counties to take their honor and in
terest out of your city siums, and save
themselves and the Safe by saving the
CITY from its misrepresentation. Yours,
respectfully

Cecil County Agricultural
Society,

The new management has taken hold
energy that the arrapge,nerts for the
fall Fair are well under wav. Their first
aim was to get it on good financial
basis The liens on the grounds have
been put in na@eabie shape and the
accumulated debts of several years have
been paid oft. In accordance with the
resolution passed at tho stockholders
meeting. at which the present board was
elected, the privilege of free admission
and free exhibition heretofore accorded
to stockholders has been taken away by
the managers which will add very con-
siderably to the revenues.
The aim will be to make the coming
exhibition on October T. 8, 0 and 10 more
attractive than ever before both by the
general and special premium lists and
the variety and extent of exhibits. In all
the departments the premium lists have
and The premiums restored to the amounts
of 1883. In the cattle list the grade
premiums are restored and judiciously
arranged herd premiums are offered. A
new feature in all departments will be
special premiums of money offered by
friends OF the Fair in this and other
states. Besides this there will be many
attractive special premiums offered by
advertisers in the catalogue.
An attractive feature will be special
displays by the various oranges of this
and other counties.
An effort will be made to have on ex-
hibition displays representing every in
dustry III this county, including paper,
iron, wood, stone, leather, woclen, cot
ton, etc. goods. A new attraction will
be a dog show in which some fine ken
nels will be displayed. The racing list is
to be formed in such way as to create a
home interest because of races arranged
for our county horses. In the machinery
and mechanical trials also plans are being
digested for excellent displays. The
board will meet again on Tuesday next.

Charged to the Rum Traffic.

John Howey Coe, lately prosperous far
mer, living with an amiable, intelligent and
highly accomplished wife, is now closely
guarded prisoner in a rhurderer's cell in the
Jail at Morristown, n. j., awaiting trial for
wife murder. Coe only went on an occa-
sioual spree and at other times kept per-
fectly sober, and was a shrewd and success
fnl business man. On the evening of the
3lst of January, 1889. Coe went home very
much intoxicated. The next morning a
neighbor calling early at the Coe residence
was Mortified on discovering the murdered
wife lying at the foot of the staircase, and
her husband in a state of mauldin drunken
ness, sitting near gazing with apparent I'M
concern upon the naked and lifeless form.
The brutal killing of Walter McAllister,
young brakeman on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, was the crime for which Thomas
Cole vas recently hanged. McAllister was
only % years old and the murderer was
under 30 In his con esson the condemned
man explained that he committed til. deed
while intoxicated. At the trial this was his
only defense Since his arrest he has con-
stantly suffered deeply from rsnorse.
The recent dam burst near Prescott. Ari-
ma, by which between 40 and 50 people
lost their lives in single hour, might have
been harmless, but the messenger sent to
warn the people stopped in the first saloon
by the way and soon got so drunk that he
forgot where he was going or what he w:.s
going for.
So murders in one month.

A Fatal Shooting at Port De-
pOsit.


S. F. Craig shot and fatally wounded
Thomas Worrick at Port Deposit on Sum
day last about noon. The shooting took
place in building known as the Old
Hollow Schoolhouse now occupied by
Craig.
Worrick who Yves considered rather
dangerous when under the influence of
liquor came to Craig's home and asked
permission to stay all night. Craig re-
fused, telling Worrick that he was afraid
of him. Worrick told him his hand was
sore and could not hurt him but Craig
still refused to let him in. Worrick made
the remark that Craig should regret it as
long as be lived. After they talked some
more Craig let Worrlck in and they slept
together. Worrick left in the morning
but returned about noon. Craig was
reading paper at the time.
Worrick Immediately after entering
took exception to something Craig was
reading and struck Craig with his fist,
knocking him up against the door. and
immediately drew knife. Craig grabbed
a gun and fired, the whole load taxing
effect in the right side below the ribs.
Craig was only about two feet from Wor-
rick when the gun was fired. Dr.. w. IL.
Noble and DR.. r. G. Crothers were i'm
mediately sent for and dressed the
wound. 1t is impossible for Worrick to
recover. Craig is from Baltimore where
he has family. He gave himself up,
and was brought to Elkton jail Sunday
afternoon.
Mr.. Worrick died on Monday. Craig
on the same day through his counsel, w.
| T. Warbuton waived hearing aud was
committed to Jail to await the action of
the Grand Jury at the March term of
court which meets on the 18th inst.

The Peoples e nlun u.


1t has been announced, in late issue e
the Cecil Democrat and Te-nunounced in the
Midland Journal, and the fact severely and
ably commented up0n, that license petit
ton has lately been sent to Annapolis
signed by "A number of men of " HON the
public believed better things until this hour.
1t is not strange that several of these men
have strong letniugs toward the whiskey
traffic, as it is "A we'll known tact that their
fathers commenced life away down, even
at the foot of bhe social ladder and elm bed

doing good and not harm to his neighbors.
He who said of His followers. "By their
fruits ye shall know them,'' and blessed
are the pure III heart for they shall see
God" Can any man with a pure heart
kneel and, with clean hands uplitted to the
throne of a just God, pray that this unmiti-
gated curse of licensed rum traffic be
again fastened upon The people of Cecil
County?
What if the desire of these men, as ex-
pressed in that petition be granted and the
first victims demanded by this Moroch
whom they have helped reseat upon his
throne, be those of their own households?
What if he enters their doorways and sits
by their hearthstoue and with agonized
hearts they behold him fastening ON the life
blood of their offspring?
One name on tie whiskey petition de-
serves special notice. IL has stood for years
at the head of the educational system OF this
county.
If il is the honest belief of this gentleman,
that morality and religion will be increased
by placing grog shops side by side with our
educational institutions he has a perfect
right to his belief, but will he be supported
in it by the moral and religious sense of the
community? 1t SO God help the morality
and religion of Cecil, County.

the letter purporting to come from the
"Sons of America" and compared them

state committee, and have no hesitation

were written by ono and the same per-
son. The evidence furnished by the
documents themselves is clear and I'M

vince any one Of their authorship. The
name of the clerk in question, who is
innocent of any discreditable part in the
transaction, is in our possession and will

THIS Is THE POINT.

Republicans who desire to see free and
fair elections in this state, who believe
it dangerous to establish the precedent
that county canvassing boards may
throw out returns that do not suit them
who believe that when court orders a
vote counted that mandate must be
obeyed, who believe that state canvass
ing boards cannot eliminate, who believe
that the humblest workingman is as
much entitled as anybody else to have
his vote counted as cast-all such repub-
licans can have but one choice. They
must vote for William Writ Dixon. The
republican platform endorses specifically
every act of Hall and Jack and the state
canvassing board; it denounces Gov.
Toole as usurper, and justifies every
act in the great conspiracy. Thomas II.
Carter accepted the nomination on that
platform and his election would mean
the endorsement Of all those acts. There
are democratic canvassing boards in
Lewis and Clark, in Silver Bow and in
Deer Lodge counties. Do you think
those boards will have the right to
throw out returns this year? That is
the question that comes right home.
Avote for:.William Writ Dixon is vote
for an honest man and an honest count.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1890-11-03

resentatives; it means the endorsement
OF political self-advancement at the ex-
pense Of broken promises and the miners
Of this great state; and it means the
endorsement Of s'smartness" that does
not stop short Of the violation OF the
freeman's most sacred right Of the bal
lot A vo.e for Dixon is vote for in
tegrity, for unimpeached and unim-
peachable honesty, for plain, straight
forward dealing, for every interest that
Montana holds most dear. 1t is a vote
for home, for wife and for children. 1t
is vote for fair election and fair
count. These are the issues before the
workers Of Montana. If tomorrow
they choose wisely, Montana shall yet
rear her head, free from the shame Of
fraud, proudly in the sisterhood Of the
Union, and the name Of Dixon shall be
emblazoned on her banners as her deliv-
erer
