Republican Meetings.

Republican Meetings.
Mr.. W. B. Baker, republican
nominee for congress in this district
visited ElktOn last week and made
arrangements to hold several meet
ings in Cecil and have a handshake.
The Campaign" is to open on the
18th, next Wednesday night at
Chesapeake City. Meetings will
also be held in Elkton, North East
and Port Deposit. There is no
mention in the program of Rising
Sun. Now that is a slight the Sun
had never anticipated. After the
professions, the mass meetings, the
torch light parades, the uniformed
marches, from the gray haired
grand-dad to the youth who had
not shed his milk teeth, all doing
honor to ''granddads hat" with
enthusiasm, and shou ting, and
richly caparisoned marshals on cur
veting horses, and the bands a-blow-
in. After all these manifestations
of no mistakeably true republican
ism, to get left-or to be left, is
worse stills enough to bring a
cloud over the face of the Sun that
wouldn't pass off till after the cleo
ton.
But we live in hope that Freddy
will visit the Sun. Freddy hasn't
any "barl" like Baker but he is
hefty as a buttonholer and baby
kisser. Besides there is a running
sore, great ulcer in the side of
democracy about the Sun that will
require all of Freddy's skill to heal
and he ought to hold two meetings
here to make good Bakers neglect.
These two representatives of the
two old parties which in all essential
parts no individual can tell (Which
from tother," ought to explain all
about what they propose doing in
future. The people know to their
sorrow what they have done in the
past.
Mr.. Baker is to have retinue
of satellites revolving about him as
he whirls through this part of his
orbit like the moons of Jupiter.
There will be G. Heber Clark of
Philadelphia, Charles L. Wilson of
Baltimore, r. G. Thackery, H. M.
Mccullough and VIM. j. Smith of
Elkton, and others are expected to
come in the field of the telescope of
the political astronomers, as the
great congressional planet, Baker,
whirls through the constellation
Cecil.
Now, Freddy, you see what you
have to encounter, when you come
revolving in the mighty orbit of the
second district. You will strike
the path of the meteor James and
Charles the morning star of demo-
cracy, and John, at present in
eclipse, and Reuben one of the fixed
stars and William whose light is
increased in periods of great politi-
cal agitation, and Austin who
revolves like Mercury very close to
the Sun of democracy, and Charles
the scribe whose orbit is excentric
and not well defined by theastronom-
ers. These stars are all in the con-
stellatiOn Cecil and when the
luminary Freddy, comes rushing
through this part of his orbit they
will all be attracted to him and
commence revolving round him and
much light will be shed ON Cleve-
landism, and Gormanism and tariff
reform all of which are but dimly
cOmprehended by the denizens who
inhabit this democratic plant.
Baker and his retinue of light
bearers will shed much light ON the
gold basis, national banks, the oil
trust the Vanderbilt railroad system
and the other systems, the Gould
telegraph monopoly and monopolies
galore, and how all these grand in
situations have made the country
so prosperous in 80 years that it
has produced the biggest crop of
the biggest millionaires and the big
gest crop of tramps, thieves big and
little, lawful and unlawful, suicides
and criminals in the same short
space of time the world ever wit
messed, and explain that this is
true "prosperityn and that it is all
republican prosperity too. Men of
Cecil, 'lend your ears"
