Again he said, "Thesc thunder

RALLY EOR THE CAUSE.

rs will be seen in our report OF the
meeting held al Calvert On Thursday,
which was large and enthusiastic
assemblage of the opponents OF license,
resolutions were adopted looking to
organization for the fall campaign,
when the question OF license OF no
license will be again submitted to the
qualified voters OF Cecil county.
1t will be seen, too, tina! the rcsc
buttons are broad IN character anG
Catholic ia spirit. That they appeal
to every voter Irrespective of party,
church, race or creed, to use his right
OF franchise for God, home and human
ity. They ask every friend of peace,
order and sobrietY in Cecil county to
lay aside all differences of opinion as
to methods or plans in temperance
work, and taking a common ground
against license, to register their iulI
strength at the polls on November 9th.
The call for the meeting tor organ-
zatlon made in the resolutions, should
be responded to by every opponent Of
license in the county, and ge-AePe- to
see an early. thorough and effective
organization in-ee7sry district.
confidence and a lack of
organization lost the election of 1890,
and the opponents OF license, who
we believe are largely il the ascendant
In Cecil county, should not repeat the
folly of the last license contest.
We do not believe that money,
bribery and corruption can win iu the
present contest, and the intelligent,
order loving citizens of the county
should see to it, that their registered
majority against license Is large enough
to be emphatic.

The lamented Sam Randall was a pretty good
Democrat, but he never failed To stand by the
mining, mercantile and Industrial interests OF his
constituents, party or no party. And this seems,
also, to be the sum of Senator Germans ofienSe.
He is for Maryland's industries first, and party
afterwards - baltimore Herald.
If the Herald is correct, how does
it explain the following sentence IN
Mr.. Germans speech on Monday.
"He would say now, as he would
tell every Democratic senator privately
that no matter at what sacrifice to
state interests, the paramount duty OF
every Democrat was to keep the party
in power.

F MARYLAND Democrats end

If Maryland Democrats endorse
Presidents Cleveland's free coal idea,
it would be well for them to remember
that if coal goes on the free list, Can.
ada will supply Maine, New York,
Massachusetts and Connecticut with
fuel, and what that means in Maryland
is the loss of this trade TO our miners,
and those engaged in the coal industry
1t will be loss and big one too.
