The Republicans We're quick to
realize the importance of the duty
resting upon them in improving the
personnel of the Senate. In Cecil
they have nominated Hon. William
I. Warburton, one of the foremost
men of the State, who has been
in the scales of public life,
and who has never been found want
ing.
Mr. MetZerott. of Prince Georges,
