The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1893-11-04
WILL THEY OOEDONE CORRUPTION

Whatever may be the result Of the
canvass which will close next Mon
day night, whether the intelligent
voters of this county will vindicate
the purity OF elections in Cecil, by
recording on Tuesday next their
emphatic condemnation of the
bribery of voters, and corrupt politi-
cal practices resorted to to secure
the nomination of the Crothers
ticket; or whether bribery and poll!
ical debauchery shall triumph at the
polls, the WING, in the words OF
warning and protest it has seasonably
sounded, will at least cherish the
satisfaction OF having performed its
conscientious duty to its constitu-
ency.
At this writing, every reliable
indication points to the overwhelm-
ing defeat Of the Crothers political
combination ticket.
Inc Dest sentiment OF the Demo-
cratlc party III Necll county cannot be
hoodwinked, brow beaten or cajoled
into the support of this ticket, the
history OF the nomination OF which
is written in the most humiliating,
d1sgracetul, and unblushlng use OF
money to corrupt voters ever known
In the political history OF the county.
What does the mere scr6a/ protest
against 6'16e1y and c0'rHbh0n, h000-
e9er I01u6Iy or sincerely expressed,
amount to, unlcSS tile force OF the
protest be Madc eBfcfl0e at tile Polls
on Tuesday, BY 0ofe against tile
ticket that represents this bribery and
corruption /?
That the WHIG's denunclation OF
the political methods that secured
the nomination OF the CrofherS ticket
Is temperate and does not exasgerate
