Honorable Democrats assert and
charge, that the Commissioners office
was W Iked in the interest of the
young Democratic bosses, and ITS
power applied To the uses OF a clique.
The young bosses answer, that
"Willram Johnson is a slaIw'rt."
Prominent Democrats assert and
charge, that bargains were openly made
by the young Democratic bosses nv
which the primary in one distinct at
least was set aside, the people denied
the privilege Of voting, and the die
gates selected by two or three self
constituted leaders.
The Young bosses answer, that
James L. Graham makes "mOst
eloquent speeches on the tariff"
Leading Democrats asst, that
veteran Democrats who were IN fact
the choice of majority of the party
for official trusts, if fair expression of
sentiment had been permilted by the
young Democratic bosses, were de-
liberately turned down by the recent
So called Democratic convention, at
the diclation of the young bosses, IN
order to give place to boys and raise
recruits who are merely the puppet. of
a ring
The young bosses answer, "that Mr..
Austin l.. Crothers is brother Of
Charley Crothers.
Leading, influential, and honorable
Democrats assert, that the convention
which nominated the SO called Demo
cratic ticket was ga rump convention, p"
packed by the young Democratic
bosses, and it's nominees are therefore
not entitled to Democratic support.
The young bosses answer, that the

I'm C. and General c. har-
angued a handful OF their party
brethren at Odd Fellows H Ill in Elk :
ton on Wednesday evening. They
spoke to beggarly account of empty
benches, large number of prominent
Democrats of the town and district
being conspicuous by their absence.
There was no defiant ring of victory
in the tones of the takers of the
evening, and the solemn atmosphere
that pervaded the Hall, was an effec-
tual damper upon the enthusiasm Of
even the small boys present. Hark

Another Reason Why.

The Cecil County Meas almost
succeeds in keeping its face straight
when it asserts that there was lover
reaching at the Republican pri-
maries."
The task It is engaged in is en-
tirely harmless, and no one ought to
begrudgeit, the happiness @ it seems
to derive from it.
But while it is bent on this sort of
pleasure, we invite. its serious atten-
ton to the following unique and al
together interesting example OF
"over reaching at primaries.
A Democratic primary had been
duly called, and the people of the
Eighth election district under the
leadership Of Mr. James T. Graham
had assembled at the place APP
pointed, intent on overthrowing the
power of the Crothers Ring. At the
eleventh hour however, Mr.. Gra-
hams representatives terrified and
panic stricken by the display of
Crother's greenbacks, struck their
colors, put their necks under the
Crother's yoke, and meekly signed
and sealed what is perhaps the most
remarkable document known to
Cecil politics, and copy of which
we now present to the people OF this
county

COMMENTING upna the present boss
ridden condition Of the Democratic
party in ,ilis Safe the Baltimore SIN
pertinently says "The honest people
OF Baltimore are at present disposed to
be no more patient under the iron rule
Of the democratic bosses and rings
than they would be if subjected to the
same ignomlnious treatment by repub
lican bosses and rings. In fact, as
democrats, they resent the scandals
which affect their party and discredit
its management and impair It's useful
ness more deeply than they would

lican regime or administration.

WoN'T the taxpayers Of Cecil
county, outside of all partizan ques-
tons, serve their interests best by
voting for such men as County Com
missioners as will prove the best
business men in that position, men
who will administer the affairs of the
people as judiciously, carefully, and
economically as they would their
own private affairs
This is the class of men to which
Messrs Dean, Pyle and Cameron,
the Republican nominees for the
Commissioners office belong, and for
that reason we believe they will be
elected to that important business
Office of the people.

II view of the fact that the Re
publican ticket, as everybody knows.
represents all clements of the Re
publican patty, and of the further
fact that it was nominated by a con-
vention composed of representative

effort of the Meas and the Democrat
to create factional divisions within
the ranks of that party are as Mrs.

The Carpet idea came from
the Fast. Solomon had Car
pets-a Legendary silken Car
pet among them that would
convey him and his court any
where at will. But the Carpet
star moving westward has
fixed its Empire in America
and its court in this city. 1t
is claimed that a single ward
in Philadelphia produces more
Carpets than all England.
Be that as it may we started
in some years ago to give thi:
city a real Carpet Store. The
work is accomplished as our
corps of Carpet Knights
true knights Of sales, will show
you if you challenge them.
1t is not invidious to tell
you the well-known truth that
the great-ereateSt-stock of
Carpets is assembled here.
No business remains at a
permanent point. Failure to
progress is decadence. That's
commonplace, but important
we know it, yen know it.
Hence no backward steps
here. We open the Fall sales
with all the new Carpets of
each sort and in all grades.
The tendency just now is
toward low tones and soft
tints OF color. There is some
disposition for plain Carpets
aesthetic colors. The walls
and furniture will control
choice. Our duty, now that
you are opening up the home
again, preparing for the do
mestic comfort and social life
of the Winter, is to tell you
that your Carpet questions can
be best settled here-and you
probably haze Carpet ques-
tons.
The prices are always the
least in the market. All short
quantities go to the Remnant
Room, a prolific spot, where
made-up Carpets and quanti-
ties for single rooms slip
away at a third off. Passe
styles are forced out the first
year and thus the stock is al
ways fresh, clean, novel.
Wiltons, Administers, Mo-
quotes, Velvets, Brussels,
Tapestries and Ingrains are
here in force, SO are Rugs
Smyrna Rugs (made in town.

Oriental Rugs rare and valu-

ONE of the striking differences
between the Republican and the So
called Democratic ticket is this
the one was nominated by a free
convention and is made up Of repre-
sentatives of every element OF the
Republican party ; the other was
selected by clique, was named by
packed convention, represents one
faction and one only OF the Demo
cratic party, and every candidate on
it bears the sign of the 1.-TWO
Charleys," and the Gloss of St.
John.
Hence the tears the Meas is she'd
ding.

THE revolt of the Democratic voters
against their "bosses" is general all
along the line, and is not by any means
confined to Cecil, Carroll, or the tier
of northern counties in Maryland. The
Salisbury Sentinel is the latest addition
to anti boss journalism on the Eastern
Shore, and its protector Mr.. Lemuel
Malone lite long Democrat announces,
that he has grown weary of boss rule
in Wicomico county, and will make
things lively there. So the righteous
IN dlgnation OF the people spreads.

Cigarette Smoking Increasing.

'Ihe laws against cigarette smoking"
said a member of one Of the largest firms
that manufacture that article, (which
forbid their sale to minors and call. in
New York at least, for the immediate
arrest of every youth under sixteen who
IS caught smoking them in public places,
have not had the slightest effect on the
cigarette market. Despite these laws
and the thunderings of the medical press
the cigarette business has grown steadily,
and the entire output of the factories to-
day is fully one-third greater than that
OF two years ago. Even if the laws
against the cigarette smoking minor
were strictly enforced, which they are
not, it would not at all influence the
trade.
'Ihe reason is found in the fact that
the average little boy who affects the
paper wrapped weed has only a very linn
tied capital at his command. As he buys
only the cheapest brands the big dealers
wont waste time in selling to him. He
rarely invests in a whole package, and
deals almost entirely with those queer
little shops in side streets where cigar
cites are sold in broken lots at the rate
of two for a penny. As you can easily
see, the entire suppression of this branch
of the business is not liable to exercise
much influence upon the trade at large"
