whole day instead Of two hours, ii would
have been II good days work. for the
convention gave the voters of the county
,'lr of the best ticket! ever presented
to them for their support.
DIR. JOSEPH |. FRANCE.
whose name heads the ticket aS Sells,-
tDrial nomince is an ideal candidate-a
gentleman of ability. culture and means.
Originally connected officially with the
Jacob Tome Institute. since his marriage
to the widow of its beneIicent founder
he he's devoted his time to tn" practice
of HIS chosen profession. That he *
Possessed of Il pleasing personality was
foribly shown by the favorable impress
sion made by his brief but stirring adj
dress before the convention on Tuesday
All who were brought into contact with
him, pronounced him Il vote getter," his
free, aifable and off-hand manner. indi-
eating his ability to win his way in his
coming canvass. DIR. France has been Il
resident of Cecil for about eight years,
and on Tuesday announced his purpose
to make Maryland his permanent home.
The one possible objection that his politi-
cal opponents may make to his nominal
ton. viz. that he il personally unac-
quainted with the great body of electors
i'll the counts readily disposed of by
the character and temperament of the
man, and it Will require but Il short
time in his canvass to fully answer this
objection. The Viii. thinks the Repub-
lioanS of the county and State are for
tunatc in cnliSting men of DIR. Frances
type and caIisIre in the lurty service.
Men fitted for the r;ertion he seek. are
difficult to hnn. by reason of enforced de
votioI to their individual interests aud
concerns. and when such do enter politics
they have the opportunity to confer
benefit not only upon their party, but
upon the people ut large.
The average voter will '.Sze up Dr..
France as an all-round good fellow
which with those who make and unmake
candidates. goes further than pedigree
and promises.
For the House Of Delegates three gen
tlcmcn have been selected who share in
Il high measure the esteem of their re-
spective communities.

missioner for Cecil county under Gov
ornor l.owndes' administration. and the
success of the W1od.awn Camp Meeting
