Sidelights On The Election.The Democrats had their election cn Tuesday last. The People's Party will never remember of having another in old Worcester.We are sorry for our good friend Mr. John Gordy. He went politically wrong at the wrong time.The prettiest lot of ballots that ever came out of ballot boxes were those counted in Costen's District on Tuesday night last.People's Party politicians in Poco-moke City were as scarce as hen’s teeth Tuesday night. In fact they began to hide themselves away early in the afternoon. They saw the hand writing on the wall.All honor to the good ladies of Worcester county and especially to those of Pocomoke City. They worked right and they voted right, and they never tired in their efTorts to bring about a great democratic victory.Mr. Edgar T. Johnston, editor of The People, will please take notice. Mr. Harrison carried the Berlin districts by 689 over Mr. Wharton, his cpponcnt, and Mrt Crockett carried the Pocomoke District by -132 over Mr. E. James Tull., the highest gentleman in the Legislative groupe of the People’s Party candidates. Was the statement you made in your last issue “pure political bunk” or not? And how about those “expressed opinions of men who have made a study of politics and campaign “methods?”They abused Mr. Harrison and they said all matter of evil against him, falsely, but the people of the county were back of him and he walked awTay with the plum.Foundations are already laid to get rid of W. G. Kebin the next time and to take over the County Commissioners' office in its entiety, including the clerk and treasurer. Look out for your hides gentlemen, we are going to tack them on the bam door.It is estimated that one of the greatest assets the democrats had in the recent fight was “The People” published at Snow Hill. Every issue made us votes and had the electionbeen four w’eeks off and that paper continued its tirade it is estimated that the Democratic ticket would have received a unanimous vote in the county.Tuesday's election gave evidence ot the fact that the democratic party in Costen's District has a great working fcrce when it becomes enthused. Many persons gave valuable assistance who heretofore have done comparatively nothing for the party at the polls. Let us begin right now to organize ourselves thoroughly so that we will be in the best of shape to meet the enemy at the next general election. And don’t forgt it fellows, we have got to get Dr. France's scalp next year. Keep your scalping knives sharp.We don't know whether it wras that bridge opening, the surveying of the proposed rdad to Public Landing, the surveying of the Atlantic’s front at Ocean City, or the bringing of Mrs. Gertrude Breslau Fuller into the county that caused the upheaval. There is one thing Certain, howrever, the People’s Party got an awful black eye in the mixup and it will have to undergo considerable hospital experience before it ever resembles itself a-gain, to say nothing of a complete recovery. But then complete recovery is beyond all question.Hats off to Mrs. Gertrude Breslau Fuller. Her coming into our county did us great good, just as her advent ir any civilised community would do. She has a message and she knows howr to state it. The good people of tliis county appreciate the good work she has done and hope that she will come our way often and proclaim the doctrines of democracy as only women of her class can do. She has endeared herself to our people and they hate to sec the time of herdeparture arrive. May she be spared to many more I ears of usfulness to the party and principles, which she so dearly loves.TO THE VOTERS OF WORCESTER COUNTYPermit me to thank you one and all for the confidence in me' you have again expressed by your ballots. You have ordered me back to Annapolis to
