Quite the contrary.

MR.. MEALS PLANK DID 1T.

In the last national Democratic
convention an Impulsive reforme from
OHIO arose and started a movement to
table the moderate utterance on the
tariff, and to substitute something more
radical. He succeeded, and the plank
adopted contained the following:
We denounce Republican protection
as fraud, a robbery of the great
majority of the American people for
the benefit of the few. We declare it
to be fundamental principle of the
Democratic party that the federal gov
i. ernme1f has 20 constitutional power
to impose and collect tariff duties
except tor the purpose of revenue
only.
And, further on this platform de-
clared:
We denounce the Mckinley tariff
law, enacted by the Fifty first Congress
as the eliminating atrocity OF class
legislation.
The author of these vigorous decla-
rations was Mr.. Neal. He is the man
who tried conclusions in Ohio with
the author OF the Mckinley bill. The
last heard of him was that he was
Aburied under 90 900 plurality, and that
Iii was still showing ballots -B12t0.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

The Eighth district Of this county
afforded the best illustration on Tues
day last Of tic difference between foul
and clean politics.
Two years ago, when Mr.. Austin L.
Crothers was running for the States
Attorneyship, and with an alleged
Republican at his side, was allowed to
invade illegally the election precincts,
he carried the district by a majority Of
I42 votes.
This year, while deep laid plans
were laid to buy votes, an early discov-
cry spoiled the Ubiquitous scheme, and
on fair vote the district went against
Charles c, Crothers by majority OF
seven votes. All honor to the intelli-
gence and shrewdness of the true
Republicans and true Democrats of the
Eighth district.

THE OOLORED Y

THE OOLORED VOTERS STOOD TRUE
1t IS only an act of justice to the
colored voters of this county to say,
that in every district of the county,
they as class stood true to their prin-
ciples and their manhood on Tuesday,
with the exception of a few disrep-
tuable colored men who sold their
votes. When it is considered how
they were tempered with, and what an
organized effort was made by the
Crothers leaders to buy them by tempt
ing offers of large sums of money, their
loyalty to their political principles, and
their manliness, become the more
noticeable and the more creditable.
In the town of Elkton, desperate and
craftv effort had been made 10 corrupt
item with money - wholesale. Mr..
Crothers' organ the Cecil C0uuty Meas
had said edltorially that they could be
swayed either way by the "cold cash."
1t had termed them the prolatarlet-
the meanest, vilest, lowest class of citi-
zens-and the Crothers corruptionists
had acted upon the presumption, that
they were as black in character as they
were in color.
But these gentlemen who wear white
features were mistaken ln their game.
We know one case, where an old
black man Of this town, had ten dol
lar note pressed upon to vote for
Crothers and Boyd. But the old man,
black as he is, uneducated and iillterate
contemptuously refused the money,
replying "that a thousand wouldn't
buy him." The colored voters of
Cecil as class deserve honest praise,
for their manly refusal to diShonor
themselves by selling their votes. The
few who did dishonor themselves and
their race, are objects OF pity rather
than of Remuneration.

MR.. MASTERS GOOD VOTE.

Because Capt VIM. T. Master is a

iican besides, we feel proud of the
handsome vote cast for him in Balti-
more on Tuesday. Oar of the twenty
two wards in the city, Mr., Master
carried eight-slx more than were
carried by Mr.. Warfield, the fusion
candidate, two years ago. The heavy
vote cast for Mr.. Master shows that a
very considerable number of the people
of Baltimore have implicit confidence
in him, and were convinced that IN the
event Of his election, he could have
been depended on for a thoroughly
business like administration of mum.

THIS is THE LAST OF TEMPER.
ANCE IN CECIL COUNTY.

On Wednesday morning, Mr..
Charles c. Crothers gave every
intelligent and sincere Prohibitionist
in Cecil county ample food for
reflection, in the above sententious
language used by him to the Rev. |.
L. Wood of this town, in the pres
ence of two reputable citizens of
EIkton.
This declaration although of no
especial significance as the expires
sion OF the hope of Mr.. Crothers per-
sonally, and whose alleged election
to the Senate judicial canvass OF the
vote cast in this county on Tuesday
has not yet settled, yet makes EN-
phatic the fact, that the Prohibition
list vote of Cecil county on Tuesday
defeated Mr.. Haines for the Senate
and makes possible the realization
of Mr.. Crothers' prophecy.
The election returns of Tuesday
show that I22 Prohibitionists in Cecil
threw away just that many votes,
and which if cast for Mr.. Haines
would have given him a majority of
o5 votes, and returned him to the
Senate of Maryland.
Had there been any thing suspi,
cious or questionable in Mr.. Haines'
record on the temperance question,
radical temperance men might have
found some reasonable excuse for
not supporting him.
But while no mans record is
better known, and every possible
demonstration had been given OF his
completeZsympathy with the anti
saloon sentiment of the county, with
full knowledge that the saloon
interest of the county was solidly
organized against him, with unscrup
ulous leaders at its head, ready to
debauch and buy every possible
voter for his opponent, Mr.. c. c.
Crothers, yet Prohibitionists could
be found willing and ready to sacri.
flee Mr.. Haines upon the unholy
altar of the rum combination of Cecil
county.
Now comes a pertinent and timely
question-what claim can the anti
saloon element of the county make
upon Republicans next year, in the
face of the vote of Cecil Prohobi-
tionists this year?
When the temperance voters OF
the Republican party, whose reputa

That Republican office holder in
Baltimore, who has been coming to
this county for several years on the

ticket, and who repeated his perfor-
nance on Sunday last, may as well
understand that for all the future, lie is
O. marked man,
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1893-11-11
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

The same office to which the
people OF Cecil couny four years ago
elected Mr.. John S. Writ by ma
iority of seven hundred and forty
four (744) votes, Mr., Charles c.
Crothers now claims by an alleged
majority of twenty seyen votes.
What has brought about so sur
prisine a result in a county con-
coded to be Democratic by upwards
of five hundred majority2
Why has Mr.. Crothers not been
able to command anything like so
complimentary vote as that given
Wr. Writ
We need not search very far, for
the reason.
As in New York, Tammany meth
DDS have become offensive to reput-
able Democrats and have just been
repudiated at the polls, scarcely less
emphatic has been the silent protest
of the reputable voters of the Demo
cratic party of Cecil county, against
the open and defiant debauchery OF
the ballot, that was resorted to, to
place the Crothers ticket in nomlna,
ton, and the recognised fact that tile
same methods 7Uould be used TO secure
its election.
During this campaign, the WIG
put some emphasis upon the
fact, that it regarded the protest CT
the Cecil Democrat at the time of the
nomination OF the Crothers ticket, as
the expression Of the best Demo
cratic sentiment of the county.
When, referring to the unprece-
denied purchase o. voters at the
Democratic primaries practiced by
the Crothers element of the party,
the Democrat asked, "if the damnable
practice is to continue" 1t knew what
everybody else knew, that exactly
the same methods would be ed
10 in the attempt TO secure its cleo.
ton.
The sequel to that nomination
shows, the supposition to have been
we'll grounded.
The history of Tuesday repeats in
its disgraceful details, the Illuminating
story OF the birth of the Crothers
combination ticket.
November's political foulness has
naturally followed in due course of
season, June's ripe bloom of un-
blushing bribery.
There was an eternal fitness in the
bribery exhibitions of Tuesday,
demonstrating as they did, the depth
OF depravity that marks our politics.
Like Croker of Tammapy, Crothers
of Octorara, rules his faction by the
consent OF an organized band OF
public enemies. He is the imperator
selected by the pretorian guard OF
Cecil county law breakers, and their
asserting accomplices, who in ordin.
airy affairs pass for good citizens.
His political autocracy rests on
organized crime against the ballot.
Were it not for the saloon in
huence, and the aid OF the liquor
shops, where polical debauchery
recruits its ready subjects, where the
denizen of the "barrens" revels
in his political pollution, Charles c.
Crothers, as a Democratic leader,
would be impossible in Cecil.
The expression of Tuesday, means
thelprotest of the law abiding citizens
of Cecil county, against political
abuses of which Mr.. Crothers is the
exponent and beneficiary, and OF
which they have too long been
| tolerant.
Should he succeed in attaining d
seat in the Senate of Maryland, in
spite of the popular voice in Cecil,
he will have accomplished by foul
means, what ADLER men have only
sought by fair means.

be crowned with success, and the
courts will be invoked to punish the
pollutors of our ballot.
