soften the gelatin in cold water, then
to dissolve in boiling water. Neglect

THE LAST PLAY.

the report, that the Republicans
are not solid for jackson, but
many Of them, even outside of
Caroline County Mr.. Smiths
home, intend to support him.
The "Canard is cut out of
the whole cloth.
There is not a county in the
entire district, in which the Re

WHY MOT JACKSON?

ALL we'll informed people
know, that the Orator is passing,
if he has not already passed in
Congress. and the hard headed
man of affairs is taking his
place.
The two most influential men
in the Senate, Nelson w. AID

have not gifts of Oratory, but
in grasp Of the Country's needs
as each sees them, they tower
above their most fluent asso-
ciates as the recognized leaders
of their respective sides.
1t is because the business

ANYTHING TO WIN.

" WHILE the Democrats are
standing firmer, many from the
best elements of the Republican
party are outspoken in every
county on the Shore in support
of Smith for Congress.
The above excerpt from a Sails
bury letter to the Baltimore
d" News, of Tuesday, is a fair
sample of the political Bluff, :"
usually played in the closing
days of every campaign.
"The Wing" emphatically
denies the existence Of any Re
publican detection in Cecil Coun-
ty. On the contrary, there is
no break in the line of Congress
man Jackson's Republican sup
porters, and no evidence what
ever, that any one of those who
heretofore voted for him, in
tends to support his opponent
Mr.. Smith. From every Dis
trict of Cecil County comes the
report, that the rank and file of
the Republican party are solidly
aligned in support of their Con

une political argument.

une political argument.
Is it a picayune argument
that the friends of Mr.. Fred
Talbot are making in favor of
his return to Congress for the
fifth or sixth time?
The truth is, that Mr.. Talbot
has been an Industrious and
jealous worker for his con-
stituents, and his claims for re-
election are based solely upon
this service.
We have never heard of any
measure of National Importance
that Mr.. Talbot has formulated
in Congress, and yet he has
been returned time and again
by the Democratic voters of his
Congressional District, solely
upon the ground of his political
usefulness to his constituents.
AS the "Chronicle" supports
Mr.. Talbot, for the same reasons
that Republican Papers urge
the return of Mr.. Jackson to
Congress, is not the picayune
political argument just as appli-
cable in one case as in the other?
Why certainly.-The fact is,
that the popular test of any
mans claim for reelection to
Congress is largely if not solely
based upon his success in serving
his constituents, in the matter
Of patronage as well as local
appropriations. Let any man
be sent to Congress, and we care
not what his qualification may
be in other respects, unless he can
secure some recognition of his
District. either in patronage or
Governmental aid. for public
purposes, he will not be returned
! the second time as a Represen-
tative.
The mass of voters everywhere
are looking for men who when
sent to Washington can do
things. -
This is the secret of Fred Tai
bots strength with the voters
of his District, and of Sydney
Mudd's continuous return to
Congress. and is today the potent
not picayune argument in favor
of Mr.. Jackson's reelection.

What then is the right thing

difference upon the really vital
issue of the campaign-the
maintenance of the Nations

TIE most noticeable objection we

Dor appropriations alone he has
secured S92,0OO.OO for the East
ern Shore, $16,6OO.OO of which
went to the deepening Of Elk
River Channel.
He has consulted other bust
ness needs of the District, and
met with gratifying success in
filling them.
His record, without a word
from himself or his advocates,
should win him handsome en-
dorsement at the hands of the
constituency, he has served SO
well, and that too, at inconven-
fence and loss to himself.
If he had merely sought the
honor of being a Congressman,
one term would have satisfied
his ambition.
But those who know him best
can testify, that however much
party loyalty may avail to keep
him in harness, his public spirit
and desire to serve his fellow
citizens of Eastern Maryland,
have no less influence upon him
in seeking a reelection.
" The Wing" has naught to
say derogatory to Mr.. Jackson's
opponent.
1t is possible that with his
party in complete control at
Washington, the Hon. Thomas
A. Smith if elected and honored
with second term might de-
velop into a useful and infuen-
tial representative; but if sent
to Washington as a mem
Der of a Democratic Minority,
smaller, as now seems all but
certain, than that found in the
present House, he would be
about as useful to his constitu-
ents as a fifth wheel to a wagon,
or, should he by any chance
find himself one of the Majority
in the next congress. his services
would hardly reach beyond dis
pensing the few crumbs of pat
ronage that would fall to his
disposal. In the one case, he
would be of no use save to draw
his salary, and in the other, he
must needs wait until his party
secured control of the Senate,
and elected Judge Parker's sue
cessor, the latter a seemingly
impossible task, in the face of
the inevitably unfavorable con-
ditions that would follow the
Judges improbable election on
next Tuesday week.
Mr.. Jackson has " learned
the ropes" and knows how to
get things done. Mr.. Smith
would be lost in the crowd
whether in the Majority or
Minority, and could do little or
nothing Of benefit for his CON
stituents during his first term,
and might not get a second.

followed. He led us to picture all
