"Thc ship of State can be saved not by put
ting an attractive figure head at the prov,
because this will never enable it to buffet the
Storm"
Truly said indeed, Mr. Raynor, for the
name of IA reputable gentleman of the
Elkton Bar, put up as figure head, to pull
"Combne' ticket through the primaries,
will not save the Democratic ship in Cecil,
with the boss at the helm.
RAYNOR APHORISM.
What right would | have to-day to select IL
member of the City Council from any ward in
! Baltimore and then expect the people of the
ward to ratify my selection? Who in this
r publican government of ours has ever re-
posed such power in any one, and what right
has any man to assume such power! To fSolutc
himself from public view, gather around his
presence cOtcriC of gentlemen who claim to
own the wards over which they preside, agree
upon municipal ticket. and then invite his
guests to wing their flight to Washington, so
that in the banquet hall of our distinguished
senator from Maryland they might consent
that he shall likewise name II ticket for the
State, and then expect II hundred Thousand
voters to be driven to the polls, like cattle to
the shumblcs, as II sucriiicial Offering in consc-
Grafton of this unholy compact. This is har-
mony within the party.
Spoken with the convincing force of
truth, Mr.. Raynor! What right has one
man, under this Republican government of
ours, to gather around his presence in an
office on North street in the town of
Elkt0n, a little coterie of chosen spirits
who claim to own the whole nine districts
| of Cecil county, and after naming a ticket
for the -, 900 people of the county, then
expect 5000 voters to be driven to the
polls, like cattle to the shambles, as a
sacriiicial Offering in conservation of the
unholy ''Combine' compact?
This is indeed harmony" (?) within
the party!
RAYNOR APHORISM
~ would lik" to know from you whCtheryou
conccdc the ownership of the Democratic
| party of this city and State to Mr.. Rasin and
Senator German. The party has never been
| conveyed to them 10y any instrument that can
| be found upon the records They have taken
possession of it, of its issues, profits and
! franchises, but they are only tcnaHts by
sutlcrancc and they are holding on simply
because you, the lawful proprictors, have not
| chosen to claim restitution.
As we'll, Mr.. Raynor, would every self

| the Democratic party in Cecil county has
| been conveyed to Senator German and
and Senator ~ Crothers, or whether they
have only taken possession of it, with its
assets, issues and profits, which they have
industriousIy turned to individual account
RAYNoR APHORiSM:
81 recognize the fact that parties must have
leaders and all of us are willing to follow
leaders if they are men of patriotism, of honor
and of party principle.
The people Of Cecil county recognize the

RAYNOR ArHORISM:
~ man cHn hca true party man without
being rthcra sycophnnt or II coward. and
that perfect freedom to do VIVA is right in
public place is worth more than the place itself
with all the honor that attends il.
There are plenty Of Democrats in Cecil
county, Mr.. Raynor, who are neither
sycophants nor towards and are good
party men besides, who resent the dictation
OF BOSSES of high or low degree, and exer-
else the perfect freedom of individual
action
RAYNOR APHORISM:
"You are the sovcrcigns, and | recognize no
master except the people of Maryland. For
quarter of IL century you have shouted
Long live the King" now, let its echoes die
and in its place take up the battle cry. Long
live the people. Let the martial sound
oe waited ana its swelling anthem spread from
heart to heart and home tn home and believe
that, rs the first inspiring strains reach the
ears of your opprcssors, that there will be
CONSERVATION in the camp, that the letters of
your captivity will he broken and that the
democracy OF Maryland will be free"
EXcellently well spoken, Mr.. Raynor.
The people of Maryland are heartily
tired of the domination of the political
Boss. They propose 10 take hand in
governing themselves in Cecil county this
fall. Republican rule has no terror for
them, and the WING believes that Mary
land in November next will take her
deserved place in the line of Republican
States, which in 1895 will swell the grand
National anthem-Long live the American
people.
