Republican Parade al CeclltOn.

Mr.. EDITOR: Will you allow space in your
paper to give the public an idea of what the
Republicans are doing in the First district?
Thursday was Il grand day in the history
OF the community. The Mckinley Armor
Bearers OF Ceciiton, the Mckinley and Hobart
Club of Pond Neck and the Willis and Merritt
Club OF Warwick gave Il grand parade,
Music was furnished by the Eihton Colorcd
Cornet Band. There wore about 500 people in
the town to witness tho line Of march by 100
mounted men and about 50 vehicles Of every
description. That peace and good order pre-
vailed can not be saying too much. There
was not the slightest disturbance.
Those who participated in the parade
seemed to understand the rules of the clubs,
and camo with tho intention of enjoying
themselves and making the affair Il success.
Tho line Of march was formed at the hall
of the Armor Bearers and from there the
procession proceeded rs far as Cashes Corner
from whence they returned and went rs far
as Earlevllle. While the procession was on
the road u committee OF ladies and gentle
men were at worE arranging the hall to
refresh those who had participated in the
procession. On their return they found three
tables laden with meats and other food
which were enjoyed by the club men.
The speakers for the occasion were Revs. J.
G. Martin of Ceclton and A. A. Henderson
of Chesapeake City. Without doubt it is
reported that it was conducted on very
orderly basis, and the clubs are elated over
the manner in which the people in general,
white and coorod, made the parade asuccess.

President. Mr.. Bryan surely ought to be
happy, for the lecture platform will be far
less eXacting than the duties of the Office
to which he aspired would have been, and
he is undoubtedly much better qualified to
perform them. He will be drawing card
and there is little danger Of his breaking
down. His physical endurance was tested
to The utmost during the late campaign
and his record is unsurpassed. Bryan as
lecturer will be a success; as President he
would probably have been sorry failure.

was generally supposed that he voted for
Palmer and Buckner; but it appears that
at his polling place there were but two
votes for that ticket and two responsible
men have come forward and claimed that
they cast these. So Mr.. Hill must have
voted for either Mckinley or Bryan and
the question is, which? 1t is not likely
that it will be solved very soon,

MR.. EDITOR: AS Maryland has adopted no

common or coarse, no alien or foreign exotic,

and tastes of this State.
