THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY
TICKET.

lHe SOillDliidtloll OiSttlS Ill tIis Couhpy
have been dreadfully distressed of late,
because-as they assert-the county Re-
publican candidates were not being weekly
weakly "whooped" up in Republican
newspapers
Now the fact is, that the candidates on
the local Republican ticket, could not have
been more seriously injured, than by the
publication of one-half the trash thrown
at them in print that the Combination
candidates have weekly had cooked up,
and thrown at them by the Ring organs.
In season and out of season, the angelic
not to say heavenly character of the
Democratic local ticket has been paraded
in type.
Invidious personal comparisons have
been instituted between candidates, while
insincere eulogy and hypocrtical cant, have
by turns been lavished on weak candidates
nd nausedm.
The conceded necessity for such chronic
buncombe, is the worst confession of its
weakness.
Good wine needs no blush anyhow, and
this eternal and everlasting "whooping"
up of the superior virtue of the Democratic
local ticket, has long since ceased to tickle
the ear even OF the warmest party hench-
man.
As the campaign draws to Close good
word in behalf OF the excellent men who
compose the Republican ticket, Is both
timely and pertinent.
There is not a name on the Republican
ticket, whose owner is eminently, not to
say prominently, worthy of the confidence
and support of the voters of Cecil county.
Than Mr.. Henry NJ. Mccullough, our
candidate for States Attorney, whose name
heads the local ticket, no man in Cecil
county is more generally esteemed or per-
sonally respected as a clean, honest citizen,
and whose excellent record as an attorney
at the Elkton bar, attests his skill and
ability, to capably perform the duties of
the position for which he has been named.
Mr.. Franklin NJ. Galaher, may not he
so obtrusive and aggressive a man as other
candidates for the sheriifalty have been,
but his merit, if modest, is no less real on
that account, and those who know him
most intimately respect him most.
Under quiet and unobtrusive demeanor,
Mr.. Robert Logan Christie, the Repubi-
can candidate for County Treasurer, carries
about with him, as many elements of per
sonal acceptability based upon the poses
sion of manly qualities, and special fitness
for the position for which he has been
nominated, unimpaired by personal habits
or daily association, as any man who can
be named for the County TIeasurership.
Than William J. Clark and John j.
Williams, our candidates for County Com
missioners two more correct and conscicn-
tious business men can't be found in Cecil.
Because William J. Smith is a bright
man Intellectually, of unimpeachable char
acter, popular personally and good
political runner" he has been singled
out for constant and persistent attack by
the combination organs.
He can discount the newspaper 'rot'
thrown at him almost weekly, and still
lead the highest man on the combine
by big majority in a Democratic county.
His running mates, Lewis T. Logan and
Webster White, are both intelligent and
correct exponent, of the principles that
underlie good citizenship, and their daily
practices are fully up to their professions
in all the walks Of life.
John T. Lynch, Alfred Kirk and Thomas
c. Bond are three exceptionally strong
men for the Judgeships of the Orphans
| Court. Every one of them is business
man of character and integrity, and so
recognized in their respective communities,
while no Young man in the county shares
IN IA higher measure the public esteem than
Wilmer j. Falls.
There is not a man on the ticket, who is
not unqualiiedly worthy the support of
the voters of the county, and not a man
who, when elected, will not faithfully and
capaby perform the duties of his office.
While fulsome praise will not heighten
their acceptability as candidates, neither
will invidious comparisons or unfair crti-
cism weaken them with the people, fact
which the vote they will receive on Tues
day next will fully attest
