/ is encouraging news from the Fifth election
district of Cecil county. This district has for
years been the stronghold Of the Republican
party in the county, and the large number of
workmen employed by the Mccullough Iron
Company was supposed to make it impregna-

slowly but surely there, and the many wage
earners in that district are beginning to see
upon which side of their bread the butter is
spread. They are tired of Republican prom
