HARMONIOUS DEMOCRATS.

Some of that Cecil county big ''C'' Com
bine type of harmony seems to have got
loose on Tuesday, and crossing the Susque-
hanna, struck Baltimore county like II
cyclone
After the work OF nominating a county
ticket had been accomplished by the Demo
cratic convention which assembled at Tow
son, Mr.. James Hamilton offered the fol-
lowing resolutions: That
1--WE condemn the course of our Maryland
Representatives in the Senate III thwarting
the will OF the people and antagonZng their
true representative, the President of the
United States in the financial and tariff lcgis-
lation recommended by the Chicago conven-
ton.
"And we hereby instruct the Senator and
members of the House of Delegates nomi-
mated by this convention to vote against
Senator German and Gibson for reelection
to the Senate of the United States, and in
favor of men who are in sympathy and accord
with President Cleveland and the Democratic
party
The resolutions, says the Sun correspon-
dent, frightened the convention so much
that it scarcely knew what to do. A great

FAREWELL RE-ASSESSMENT.

Now that the Democrats at the dictation
of Mr.. German, have nominated for Cover
nor Mr.. John L. Hurst of Baltimore, IL par
ticular friend of the sugar Senator's and
who was the pronounced opponent of the
Hayes Re-assessment Bill and along with
Mr.. Hurst have nominated Mr.. C. c.
Crothers of this county, for Attorney Gen
eral. who as the attorney of Il big corpora
ton, in that capacity so strenuously re-
sisted fair remuneration to the property
holders along the Elkton and Mddletown
railroad over whose lands that railroad line
is to run, if it is ever to run at all, the
property owning taxpayers of this county
and the State generally may as we'll bid
good bye to the prospect of a re-assessment
bill during this generation, unless they rise
up as they should, and defeat at the polls
by an overwhelming majority the Demo-
cratic ticket now before the people
In this connection it is noticeable fact,
that neither Of the Democratic Combine
Conventions held in Cecil had good word
to say for re-assessment, but studiously
ignored the subject, although conceded to
be by every intelligent voter, the over
shadowing issue Of the campaign.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1895-08-03

were ignored by the will Of the Senatorial
BOSS, whose despotic power, is to-day
more sovereign than ever.
In the face Of the popular Democratic
demand for the nomination of Senator
Hayes. plain uninitiated people will ask
with surprise, why, would the Senatorial
Car, after being assured of the strength Of
Mr.. Hayes with the people, still oppose his
nomination, and demand the selection OF
another candidate?
The answer is simple one.
Senator Hayes is a poor man, and had no
campaign 'bar'l' behind him, while Mr..
Hurst is millionaire, and will contribute
money by the tens of thousands for the use
of the Boss machine, 10 roll up major
ity in Baltimore, that the Republicans will
not be able to overcome by their maiorities
in the counties of the State.
That is the secret of Mr.. Hurst's nomi-
nation, and the hope of the Senatorial
Boss
But for once in his life he will be disap-
pointed.
We do not believe that the "Ring' cor
ruption fund will be large enough to buy
n Democratic victory at the polls this fall
Popular disgust with Boss Rule and
Machine" methods is too deep seated, to
be salved over with the base touch of cor
rupting campaign ''boodle."
The 'boys' in Baltimore, will have II
good time, and fairly reveal and riot in the
slime and filth of Mr.. Hurst's corruption
fund.-
But the honest masses of Maryland :
sons, cannot be bought, and they will
rebuke at the polls the corrupt attempt to
sell them out.
As Baltimore, is to be the battlefield of
the campaign, Mr.. Hurst nomination
plainly emphasizes the necessity of the
nomination of Mr.. Malster by the Rrpulli-
cans, whose strength with the honest
masses of Baltmores voters, cannot be
overcome by Ring rasrality, though well
primed with rich mans Doodle

ISN'T it Il terrible satire on political hon
o ;ty, that the two "Combinen organs of
Elkton should beIate the Republicans for
passing series of resolutions at thc4 re-
cent convention demanding fair elections
in Cecil, while a prominent candidate on
their angelic ticket was being charged
by the judges at his own primary, with
offering party brother who was opposed
to him, $40 to carry message from Fair
Hill to the Rising Sun, provided he took
another man with him, and started before

hubbub was precipitated in moment, and
the secretary in response to suggestion
from somebody in the convention, began to
call the names of the chairmen of the dis
trict delegations. Few responded, and it
appeared that in the confusion they did
not hear.
Mr.. Talbot pushed to the front and
asked for recess
Major George w. Iellott spoke for fair
consideration of the resolutions.
Delegates were shouting suggestions
from all parts of the room, and in spite of
calls for vote the chairman received and
put motion to adjourn, which was adop-
ted before n vote could be taken on the
resolutions offered by Mr.. Hamilton.

DEMOCRATIC DISAPPOINTMEN
Come let us hear from you.

The nomination for Governor, of prom
inent tax-dodger in the person of Mr.. John
E. Hurst, of Baltimore, at the dictation of
Senator German, is lame and impotent
conclusion to all the recent promises given
the people of Maryland on the re-assess-
ment issue.
There is no question, that an overwhel-
ming majority of the property owning
Democrats Of the State preferred Senator
Thomas G. Hayes, who was their logical
candidate for Governor but their desires
