THERE is an overwhelming sentiment
against the leasing of the Fair Grounds to a
syndicate for the establishment of racing and
gambling in this county on the Gloucester
plan. Such an institution, as has been
driven out of neighboring states cannot be
fostered here, with its corrupting inuen-
ces, both social and political.

THE Democratic organs maintain a
Sphinx like stiffness concerning the ques-
tion of Mr.. Crothers' resigning the State
Senatorship in order to save the tax payers
the expense of a special election, that hc is
the nominee for Attorney General. This
of expense, and there is no reason for it,
except that Mr.. Crothers wants to he sure
of one Office before he resigns the other.
This is a sample of how our county Demo

As it cannot be supposed that the CcciI
County Ncws, the ''boss' own paper,
would utter a whisper against the "Demo-
cratic Ring" in Cecil County, nor could it
be expected to know of the existence of II
political autocrat in it's ranks, it is very
natural for that organ to grind out to it's
readers liberal quantity of Kilgorcan
humor when the ''boSs' issue is mentioned
by the WING. 1t doesn't require the
sagacity of a Sherlock Holmes nor the crit-
cal search of a Diogenes to discover the
existence of Democratic 'ring' in Cecil
county, nor is it necessary for us to spend
our time in looking for these evils in other
states when We have the same conditions to
overcome in our own county and state.

No Thanks to the Democrats

The last congress, to Its credit be
il said, passed several important acts
on the subject of pensions, directly
in the interest of the old soldiers,
aud against the Unlriendly policy OF
the present administration. One OF
these acts provides that six dollars
per month shall be the lowest PEN
sion for any form OF disability,
which means that all pensions less
than that sum will be raised to that
figure, and that the absurdity of
paying only two dollars month to
a veteran who has proved his right
TO a pension will cease TO exist.
Another act repeats the prohibition
against the payment of pensions to
non residents; still another author
ICES postmaSters to administer Oaths
i'm pension cases, thus relieving many
pensioners of the trouble aud eX'
pense of undertaking long Journeys
To secure their money. lhe most
advantageous of all, however, Is one
which declares pension to be
vested right, which means that pen
sions are not to be modified,
suspended or abrogated at the whim
of a commissioner OF pensions, or
for the promotion Of political ambl-
ton. 1t will never again be possible
for democratic administration to
repeat the outrage of arbitrarily
depriving twenty thousand soldiers
of their pensions; thirty days notice
must be given to the pensioner, with
the privilege of furnishing testimo-
nv 10 substantiate his claim, the
presumption of the law being in his
favor, and not against him.
Not one Of these acts was recon-
mended by the democratic president
or suggested by his ally, the
commissioner of pensions. Their
passage was compelled by the force
of public opinion, and they stand as
direct rebuke to this administra'
ton. Even a democratic congress
dare not resist the pressure of senti-
ment against a policy under which
50 many dependent veterans OF the
Union army were wronged out OF
the small sums accorded them. The
people were indignant, and some,
thing had 10 be done 70 appease
them and give assurance of better
regard for the rights of the soldiers.
II is true that the policy of this
administration is still mimic able to
the soldiers, but sop has been put
to the high handed outrages perpe-
trated in that relation, and Is a
significant recognition of the fact
that the will of the people must be
respected.

The board of county canvassers has
completed its work, but no material
change from the figures first announced
is made in the result. For justice of
the supreme court, Moore republican
polled 2i63 votes, his majority being
AS. For regents OF the university, the
republican candidates, Butterfleld aud
Hackley, polled respectively 243l and
2433 votes. The amendments were de
feated, the one to increase the salaries
of state officers by 1887 votes, and the
one relative to circuit court by 1926
votes. For county commissioner of
schools, futile, republican, polled 2l79
votes, Lemley, democrat, ~. TO
Arcadia belongs the honor of casting
the largest republican vote, 26S, Ithaca
second, 242. The largest democratic
vote was in Fulton, 80, Ithaca second

vote was SO, cast in st Louis.
