constant companion of Budd throughout
the campaign and it is not likely that the
Governor will forget him.
E. l.. Coinon of the Stockton Mail also
wants to be Harbor Commissioner, but
as his newspaper is an outspoken railroad
organ the Governor would probably hest
tate long time before selecting him.
Rudolph Herold. who has the backing of
W. w. FoOte and the rest If the Alameda
contingent, is not thought to have captured
the Governor so far. and Harbor Com
missionership is not his up to date.
1t is believed that W. L. Ashe will de-
velop into gravity candidate. He started
out as an aspirant for Harbor Commits
sioner, but is now gliding gracefully down
the slide. He modestly disclaims a desire
to be private secretary.
IF William L. Jeter, defeated for Lieu
tenant-Governor, would accept a place
Budd would be quick to yield him one.
Aside from his qualifications for office a
warm personal friendship 81 rang up be-
tween him and Budd while they were can
vassing the State.
John Marley, who Increased his repu-
tation as secretary of the central com nit
tee, is mentioned for either priyatesecre-
tary or Bank Commissioner.
Andy Clunie feels quite confident that
Budd will make him Registrar. and Sam
Braunhart is bad second for this place.
1t is more than probable that some dark
horse will outstrip both of these aspir-
ants.
Sam Newman is candidate for secre-
tary of the Railroad Commission, with
Commissioner Stanton backing him for
the place.
Al Murphy is out for secretary of the
Pilot Commission.
For positions on the Board of Health
there is the liveliest kind of struggle.
DR.. Marc Livingston. Dr. Luke Robinson,
DR.. Miner. DR.. Wendell, DIR. A. E. Blake,
DR.. Billy GaVigan and host of Others are
in the field. All of them want to be Health
Officer. bnt all of them with perhaps the
exception OF one Will get on the gravity
slide.
Major P. j. Harvey is after a place as
Port Warden, and it is thought that he
will get one Of the appointments.

LET US HAVE PEACE.

A prominent liquor dealer of Elkton has
asked the privilege of our columns for the
defence of the present license system, in a
communication which appears under the
above caption in our Peoples Column.
As the law under which the question of
license or no license will be submitted to
the people on November the 9th, constitutes
our voters the judges Of the situation in
the county, it is only fair and proper that
both sides Of the case should be heard pub
licly, and if any thing good can be said in
defence of the present license law, that a
fair opportunity should be afforded its
friends to say it,
Nothing we think is to be gained by
intolerance of opinion on the high license
side of this question, and votes against
license can be lost by iliberality and in
temperate discussion Of it.
We only notice cursorily the first point
sought to be made by our correspondent
that legislation on the liquor question is to
be addressed to existing moral conditions
of our people
No more deceptous and misleading posi-
ton can he taken on any public question
affecting the morals of society its peace
and good order.
The veIest rogue at large, unwhipt of
Justice, only asks to be let alone
Ni.s IriIna and ,-inlnt,r ~ la,
SEEKS such exemption from the corrective
and restraining hand Of wholesome legisla-
ton.
The doctrine of taking things as they are
would if generally applied, stop every
reformatory movement, put an end to
every progressive enterprise for the better
ment of the condition of society, and prac-
tically annul the work of every moral, and
religious organization,
If legislative reforms, municipal reforms,
social reforms, temperance reforms, or any
other beneficent movement in the interest
of mankind is to be made to squ,tre with the
existing conditions OF the people, there of
Necessity cdll De no advance maze III any
line Of good work.
Progressive effort looking to better exist
ing moral, political and municipal condi-
tons is the hourly demand in every COM
munity.
Cecil county is no exception to the gen.
eral rule.
We consider this point sought to be made
by our correspondent, as entirely fallacous
and absolutely misleading.
The license system needs to stand on
sounder doctrine than this, as foundation
on which to build its justification.
But the really important point of the
communication is contained in the quoted
language of Judge Stump in calling atten-
ton to the fact, thai at the recent Septon-
Der term of the Circuit Court for this
county-there was not single case ON the
criminal docket.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1894-10-20
BAKER VS.. TALBOT.

There is a manifest feeling of doubt in
the minds of local Democratic managers,
as to the ability of Mr. Fred Talbot to
carry Cecil county this fall.
And when existing conditions in the
Democratic party ranks are considered
there is very good ground for this feeling
of uncertainty.
\ political pointer or two pertinently
put will explain the situation.
In the city of Baltimore "Boss" Rasin
and the old ring managers, in Difference to
the pressure of general opinion in the party
ranks growing out of the passage of the
''pertidy and dishonorn German tariff bill,
have ''hedged" and knowing the strength
of the opposition to Mr.. German and the
sentiment in the state, haze gone 0Wtsidc Of
the Fourth Congressional District to find II
proper Congressional candidate in the per-
son of Mr. John X. Cowan. and have taken
him up, largely influenced by the fact, that
he is recognizedas Ne mast pronounced anti
G0rmaR Democrat in NarWnlm.
Now, if these managers in the Fourth
district, hope to pull Mr.. Cowan through,
because he is free trade Democrat, and
opposed to Mr.. German as the author Of
the stultifying C?l ''pcrfidy and dishonor"
tariff bill, how can they hope to see Tai
bolt pulled through in the Second district,
when he is to-day as close to and friendly
towards Mr.. German, as he ever was, and
if again elected to Congress- would as "a
practical and spoils-seeking' politician
sfaHd By Go,ptan anil the old ring, Just as
faithfully as he ever did
How can the Democratic managers, ask
intelligent Democrats in Baltimore who
are not Democrats for revenue, to vote for
Cowan because he is opposed to Germans
hostile attitude to the Cleveland Admins
tration on the tariff question, and at the
same time ask Cecil Democrats to vote for
Talbot, because he is not opposed to M.
GormaH's position an the trif?
This is the pulling question that non
spoils seeking Democrats are asking them
selves, and like all the world and the rest
of mankind, they do not see the plain
answer to it.
Besides, the difficulty is increased by the
fact, that Mr. Baker, Mr. Talhott's Republic
can opponent,i is an exceptionally good man,
a man who has carried Hartford, strong
Democratic county over the Stronppst
Democrat that could be put up against
him.
If Hartford county, Democrats so lately
thought Mr.. Baker good man to vote for,
why shouldn't Cecil Democrats now think
the same of him, especially when they are
asked to stultify themselves by voting for
Mr.. Talbot who really does not represent
them on present issues?

THE WHITE RIBBON ARMY.

\ prominent Philadelphia clergyman in
a recent address before the Women's Christ
ian Temperance Union said, ''that the
world looks to its women to redeem it from
the curse of drink; if left to the men, the
reform movement would be a complete
failure"
While this may be a strong statement of
the case, yet it is an undoubted fact, that
the women of the country are doing a great
deal more than the men to advance the
cause of temperance.
1t is true saying that ''the hand that
rocks the cradle moves the worldn When
the women of America are all enrolled
under the banner of the White Ribbon
Army, the victory over intempeance will
be won without a battle. The w c. T. e..
is making vigorous and successful efforts to
enlist them, and the ranks of the White
Ribbon Army is increasing alike in numbers
and in enthusiasm.

that we should again turn to Prohibition as
remedy for intemperance As has always
been the case, many will vote for Prohibition,
not satisfied that it even approaches being a
remedy, but simply because they are opposed
to whiskey.
They utterly ignore our past experience of
i'll feeling, turmoil. long sessions of grand
juries, heavy costs and no results.
Now Mr. Editor the voters Of this county
will be called upon. not simply to choose as
voters, but rs legislators Usually the voters
are limited to the selection of candidates for
Office which involves n simple choice of per-
SONS. But upon this matter they are called
upon to legslate, and should act accordingly.
Legislators should pass laws which will
square with the conditions of the people--as
they are and not as they ought to be.
Adopting this rule rs guide what will the
thoughtful voter do when called upon TO vote
in November
He may be over so much opposed to the
drinking of liQuor. hut this is not the cues
ton he is called upon to answer, hut on the
contrary he should say by his vote Whether
as thoughtful and intelligent citizen he be-
lfeves, in the light of experience and consid-
ering the cost and the probable results that
return of Prohibition would accomplish any
good to his county. The difference IN the
cost to the tax payers of the two systems Is
amazing and the peaceful condition of our
county under n license law admittedly defec-
t'"" is m absolute contradiction of all that
has been and is now being said against license
The language of judge Stump addressed to
the grand jury of our court, should be sufIi-
ctent TO satisfy those who have no means Of
Knowing that they should leave well enough
alone. He said. Something has occurred
this torn. which has never occurred for over
tw"nty-saven years Whom the criminal
docket was enrolled not n single criminal
cas-" was on w" docket The sessions of the
grand jury in Cecil county are the shortest in
any judicial circuit il MARYLAND.
There is a disposition among us Americans
TO resist enccoa"hmcnts upon our freedom of
action, and this feeling instead Of being con-
demned ought to he fostercd, because upon II
depends very largely the maintenance of our
free institutions. Any law which encroaches
unnecessarily upon the liberty of American
citizens will always be resisted by a large
body of people, And law which is opposed
by any considerable number of the citizens.
Will always fail of enforcement as we had
convincing proof in the past If there are de-
ferts in the present license law let them be
cured by amendment hut away with all sum
ptuary or stringent laws
Let us have peace. L. U. II. p.

THE POLITICAL STORM CENTRE

Once again New York is the political
storm centre of the country Her great
weight in the national balance and the
strength and diversity of the political forces
which always render the result of her cleo
lions doubtful up TO the last moment. COM
mand for her in every campaign the atten-
ton of the whole country. The election
which she is to hold about two weeks hence
will, to use the words OF Cleveland Hill
and other party chieftains on occasions like
this be the skirmish preparatory to the
great Eattle in the succeeding Presidential
election As she goes in 1891 so she and
the country are expected to 20 in 1896.
She stands, and has stood for many
years, as barometer by which the strength
of political parties Throughout the country
has been tested and the force and direction
of partisan currents and tendencies mea-
sured and marked out.
In many more elections than the general
public has ever dreamed of New York has
turned the scale. She gave the election 10
Polk and the Democrats in 1874 because of
the bolt Of the anti-saveryitas from Clay to
Birney on account of Clay's letter making
concessions to the pro-slavery sentiment on
the Texas annexation question. Four
years afterwards she equalized things by
polling heavy vote for Van Buren,, then
the Free Soil candidates knocked out Van
Buren's old party, the Democracy, in the
State and nation, and made Taylor. the
Wing, President.
In 1880 her q 600 plurality for Garfield
gave the Republicans the Presidency. She
gave the singularly small lead of only L.
0i7 to Cleveland in 1884 but, like Mer-
cutio's wound it was enough it served.
That narrow margin defeated the Republi
Guns in the country at large and put the
Democrats in power in the Presidency after
an exclusion of nearly a quarter of a CEN
tury. -Four years later. or in 1883, by Il
plurality of $4,000 for Harrison, New York
PUT the government in the hands of the
Republicans again.
1t is by her decisive influence in so many
Presidential elections that New York has
