The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-10-10

orCer IN few appropriate remarks, the
declaration of his confidence in the certainty
of the election of Mckinley and Hobart elicit
ing the hearty response of the audience,
which at this time numbered about 1900 per-
sons. Mr.. Perry nominated Mr.. II. H. Haines
as chairman of the meeting, which the audi
ence loudly ratified, the chairman announce
ing, that the name of no speaker on the bill
for the meeting had been put there merely to
d'G" but that every speaker advertised had
positively promised to be present, but that if
all so advertised did not succeed in getting to
the meeting there was already on the ground
an ample supply of able takers. Mr.. Hanes
then introduced Hon. VIM. b. Baker, of Har-
ford county, Congressman from this the
Second District of Maryland, and the Repub-
lican nominee for reelection. Mr.. Baker was
was received warmly by his audience in spite
OF cutting northwest wind that did not
blow gently on his cheek. He made most
excellent opening speech. There is an air of
sincerity and honesty about him that at once
pleases his audience. He proclaimed his
unquestioned confidence IN the election of
Mr.. Mckinley rs 1.-THE advance agent of
national and individual prosperity, and in
language and argument vigorous and telling.
but no less respectful to his political oppo-
nents he demonstrated the weakness and
fallacy of the Populist dogma of n flfty-three
cent dollar. Mr.. Baker always makes honest
and businoss-like appeals to his hearers makes
no weak attempts at oratory, but has n very
happy way of getting at the point OF the
argument by sensible talk and apt llustra-
ton. At the same time he gets at the heads
and hearts of his hearers. While he always
talks to the point, we have never heard him
speak as well as he did on Wednesday, and
the impression he made on his audience was
unmistakabe After his speech his audience
was in excellent humor for dinner, when Mr..
Haines as chairman made the announcements
for the day, and dismissed the audience until
1.30 p. m.
THE AFTERNOON MEETING
Upon rcassembling it was plainly apparent
that the crowd had increased amazingly. and
that during the dinner recess it had been
largely augmented by delegations from OK
ford, Pa, which arrived on special train,
and other points on the line of the 2. & b.
Central, and from Colora, Port Deposit,
Liberty Grove, Little Britain. Lincoln Not
tingham, Pa, and later from Aberdeen. Nd
The chairman announced Hon. w. b. Baker
Col. T. Y. Cooper, Hon. Charles Emory Smith
Editor of the Philadelphia Press, and ex-U.
). Minister to Russia, Judge Albion Tourgee
of New York, as speakers .or the afternoon
a torch light procession with Mr.. r. ]. Bald
win, of Chester county; Mr.J d. Ball, of Boston.
and other speakers in the evening after the
torch light parade. The look of disappoint-
ment on the face of the chairman, caused bv
the failure of Governor Lowndes and Messrs.
Wellington and Clabaugh to put in an appear
ance had passed away and he and everybody
else were happy.
