That Democratic Ticket.

HOET DEPOSIT, July 18Th, 1891.
| MIR. EDITOR As the Democratic ticket
has been nominated ard things have settled
sufficiently for one to judge closely, | ven.
| ture 10 send you "A few lines AS to some
dlabo zeal schemes that the successful fac
ton OF the party, contemplate perpetrstin (
| upon the people.
| As we all know, the convention WAS con-
! trolled by Senator John S Writ the War
wick of Cecil Democracy. Mr.. Writ secured
the nomination of a ticket for the house OF
delegates, which is comp 1sed of men who
are in every sense his personal representa-
tives, and who will respond 10 his call every
time, which is an Influential power the gen
tleman has long sought tn obtain. The
whole plan was conceived in bis interest
and carried through. all done hy his as.
sistance. The gentleman is prominent
member of "A certain Democratic reform
club in Baltimore, of which John X q.
Cowan, b. x O. railroad man is also a
member in high standing, and Mr.. Writ is
going to reform the State of Maryland in
the interest of the Il. * o. r.ilroad
w hat has this gentleman ever done for
the Democratic party or the people of our
county at large? As a modern reformer, he
has succeeded in deformiug the Democratic
party and he now has the county in his
pocket. preparatory TO carrying her off 10
the state convention, where, after 4 gre 1t
game of leap frog has been INDUCED in, she
will doubtless be disposed of in TIE wav
that will enable the Senator to make the
greatest leap without reg trd to the will of
people.
MIR. Writ travels over our county making
speeches on road mending, telling the
farmers who have been mending roads all
their lives that they should macadan,za
the roads of our county. The farmers know
that their roads need mending of more per-
manence than they have been given hereto
fore, but being already over burdened by
excessive taxation which Ihey IRE compelled
to pay in order that railroads may go scot
free, the public highways have TO be
neglected, even though they are not in
frequently impassabe So the speeches he
has made upon this very important subject
can avail nothing until we elect IA legisla-
ture from the rural districts of Maryland,
who have minds of their own and will act
as their conscience and Judgment may die
tate, which cannot be done as long as we
allow selfish leaders to run the politics of
our counties.
What a spectacle this ticket presents 10
the tax payers of Cecil county One caudi-
date for the Legislature does not own a foot
of land and we doubt if his taxes amount
to 81 90 per year. What interest has such a
man at stake ? None
To send the other two candidates for tie
legislature as representatives, of our county,
to iegislate in the interest of the people and
against railroads and monopolie-, will
prove as abortlye as the turning of shoe
upside down to stop the bowling of a dog,
or the throwing of boot jacis in the dark TO
still the singing OF cats For even though
they are property owners, they are honor
bound to Mr.. Writ and of course will vote
as he SHALL dictate, and when IA railroad at
torney leaps over the fierce the representa-
tives of Cecil will be advised by Mr.. Writ
who will tel them that hey had better
leap too, for here is where they expect to
gef their money back.
| warn all tue Democrats to beware of
this ticket which has been cooked up Tor
the sake of the spells. 1t is a well laid plot
To defeat Senator German. In a future let.
ter | will make plain the dishonest principle
involved III the deal made between j. L.
Graham and G. G. G., which was the Gun.
ming devise of an Elkton gentleman
GALLINACIOUS.
