DEMOCRAT.
Port Deposit, Oct. 24th. 1901.
Mr.. Editor:

Port Deposit, Oct 24th. 1901.
Mr.. Editor:
Although much talk seems 10 be
going on now. and many writers are
passing opinions pro and con as to cause
ANA effect of present campaign in old
| Cecil | have not seen anything from
this section. so with your permission, i
| will drop you II line. Ii is not worth my
while to tell YOU that | am il Democrat.
You know who | am, and what | am.
You know that ] am not only Il Demo-
crat, but one of the old school class. !
| cast my first vote many years ago, for
one Of our old Democratic Presidents,
| and have voted continuously for that
party ever since. | have never held an
| office. and do not want one. | have no
near relatives that | know of who do
want office. Therefore ! am not a sore
head. But Mr.. Editor, | am not going to
vote the trothcrs ticket this time am
not going To vote for any moro Crothers'.
1T least any of those who belong TO the
| Eighth district family. For il seems to
| me that for twenty-five years, there has
| always been Il CrothcrS on the ticket and
| | am tired. And SO are the people | am
! sorry for some men who are on the BoSS's
ticket this time. They are nice men in
their way. Many of them friends of
mine. But they are in bad company,
and tn" people will SNOW them under.
along with the Boss For tn" Boss is
doomed. and he will drag the balance of
! ~" ticket Gown with hr., For they are
| traders. y friend of mine told me TO.
day. that DR.. Rams was offering NJ.
| Ferry friends over in the Sixth. -
trade McAllistrr for Austin. But Mr..
I"rry'S friends are not trading. because
they feel sure of his Grrlry - election.
I'm old Democrat of the Eighth dis
tl1cl, said To mo only day or two ago,
| that any farmer ana taxpayer who
would vote for y. l.. CrothrrS this time.
| was Il fool, because of the we'll known
fact, that with his election, thr Tome
Institute was to have Il continued OK
cmption from taxation.
So" by the Baltimore correspondent
/" the Philadelphia Record among other
things. that Hon. John s. Writ was OPP
l"Scd to Mr.. Crothcrs. because of his
! faiIur" 10 get tho nuri,nrtiur fer Judge.
Now this writer Gr he knew anything
| knew that this WAS an untruth, for Mr..
Writ did not want the nomination. and
| would not under any circumstances have
gone on the Bosses ticket for any office.
! Mr.. German will be unable to save Nh
'roth"rS this timc because he can never
reach the class of voters who will defeat
| him.
| Thr Boss and his friends were much
exercised over the failure of the Rrpuh-
| llcanS to make II Judicial nomination.
| ms may seem strange to mauy-but not
L" us. The Boss did not want Mr..
| Brown: but h" did want Mr. Hopper-
aui when Brown was nominated. the
t"NS wanted some Cecil county man to
90, tn" Republican nomination. that he
laI%h' trade Brown off l.r himself.
And now honest Democrats of OLD
cecil your duty is plain. Let us join
forces and defeat this tyrannical Boss.
II" Is unworthy of Your longer support.
IL" Is no Democrat he is simply in bust
ness for the Doodle He is as change
ahlr as the company he happens in. fog
ne Is Il temperance man among temper
ance people. Il whiSkey man among
| "hl"N"y men. He is u white mans
fl1rnd-a black mans friend. Il blue
man friend. Brown mans friend. or
any other mans friend when it suits his
purpose. But he wants their votes.
| Let us beat him and then sing the
doXology.
| Yours Sincerly
