accepted the invitation to attend. with
his staff the unveiling of the Cooch's
Bridge memorial on September Bird. will

caSions of state. The Governor. it is
said, regards this as an important state
event, and has insisted that all his staff
officers and some of the line officers be in
attendance. The memorial, which is
built by Il prominent Delaware society,

We. the Republicans of Cecil county.

scmblcd. do hereby pledge ourselves and
our candidates to tn" furth"ring of tn"
best interests of the citizens of this
county.
Recognizing the clcvating influence of
citizenship upon all persons without re-
gard to their position in life, or their
present or past educational advantages.
we deprrcatc the work Of the Special
session of the last Democratic Lcgisla
turc in placing upon the statute books of
the State of Maryland. the inquitous
election law. 1t is the deliberate depri-
walton of the rights of the sturdy mech
anic and honest farmer. who were un-
fortunate in not acquiring an education
in their youth. to join in the manage
ment of our State and County affairs,
thus saving to the authors of this in
famous law. the SpoilS of office. BY this
law. the "unalenablc rights" and ''the
consent of the governed" as guaranteed
by the Declaration of Independence. and
the Constitution of the State of Mary
land, are held in defiance. We affirm
the proposition that the voice of sturdy
manual labor is far more preferable than
that Of mental training perverted.
We would call the attention of our dis
franchised citizens to the fact that it
remained for the Republican party. when
it aScendc,. into power in 1S9I. to pass
the free school-hook law. thus granting
to the poor and -..itcratc of our State
and County, ready means for intellectual
advancement.
