Our reference last week and on previous occa-
sions to the election frauds in the Empire of DEM
ocracy-New York city-will be remembered by
our readers. AS the Democracy charged that
there was fraud in the census returns of that
city, because it exposed their political villainy,
Marshal Sharpe invited an investigation of the
matter by his accusers, giving them the oppor-
tunity of pointing out any errors that they could
or might detect. The challenge was not accepted
though the Marshal advertised that be would be
pose of hearing any case that might he called to
his attention.
The glaring frauds in thirteen districts of that
city, at the May election of 1870, were given in
our last issue. Congress at its late session pass
ed laws to prevent and punish any frauds in vot-
ing or in registration. To escape the penalties
and wholesome results of this law, the Demo
Gratis have re-districted the city so that there
may be some confusion and difficulty in laying
legal hands on the perpetrators of the frauds.
C0Rgr"sc-aIso eve he Marshal power TO call to
his ali. al the forces that necessary for the
preservation of order and the protection of legal
voters as we'll as for the arrest and imprison-
ment of those who violated the law. Under the
provisions of this act four thousand soldiers are
at the disposal of the Marshal to execute the law
on election day in New York.
In addition TO all these precautions President
Grant has ordered new census to be taken after
the elecfinn-for two raasonc-let IN eYuoee and
punish the perpetrators of frauds that may be
committed under the dodge of the re-districting
the city and I'd, because the charge of fraud in
the census returns of great city like New York,
is one of serious nature aud should not 60 un-
refuted.
Now what honest man, Republican or Demo-
crat, can object to this proceeding or any OF it?
The law protects every man in exercising his
right to vote-and protects him in doing it only
once on The same day, and Furnishes him if he
do it or attempt to do it more than once on the
same day. Has any honest law abiding Demo-
crat word TO say against that?
All the means that are necessary for this whole
some statute are placed in the hands OF those
whose duty it is to see to its execution. The mil
itary to be called into service to quell riots,
to prevent crowding around polling places and
interfering with voting going on. Is there any
thing in this that will injure anybody or any
thing but riotous persons and proceedings2 And
about taking the census after the election, what
is there to be said against this II nobody does
any Illegal voting there will not be any exposed
and nobody punished. If it does lay legal hands
on some expert who has violated the law, we
take it that no law-abiding Democrat will say
that the criminal should not be punished.
Grant is as good in Tammany as in the Will
derness. and understands their case exactly.

In our columns last week was a card with
the above title, over the signature of the Chair
man of the Democratic Executive Committee,
taken from the Journal of the previous week.
We stated under this card that we would
''open our columns to the use of the Chairman
of said Committee" and that we would publish
over his signature, without charge, the names
Of all parties whom he has detected" in having
democratic U0ters transferred outside the places
Of their residences, aoithout their kno,oledge."
We have not received from the Chairman the
names of any persons he accuses Of this fraud
although the journal stated he knew one.
We made fair offer, and it was not accepted.
We feel warrented under the circumstances in
saying that the charge was made without
justification or foundation, and for the purpose
Of controlling U0tcS for Judge Merrick. If there
is any fraud in the registration it must be done
by those who have it in charge-the Democrats.
We would suggest to the Chairman, in as
much as ne has not furnished us with the
names of those "known" to him, that he have
them arraigned under the law Of Congress,
before United States Commissioner Rogers, of
Baltimore, as that officer is now engaged in COM
hitting to prison Democrats, for attempting to
register on papers taken from the sexton.

GRAND Masonic CoMMUNICATIoNs.-We an

Mass MEETING AT REIsTERsTowN.-A large
Republican Mass Meeting was held at Heit-
chews hotel, Reisterstown, Fourth District on
Monday night last. There were about two
hundred persons in attendance, among whom
were quite number of Democrats.
The meeting was organized by the election OF
the following officers: Presdent-Wm. F. We'll
Ter; ce-Presidents-Capt VIM. P. Cole, j. s.
Eorney, Evan M. Price, Daniel Sbugars, j..
Mex. Gore, J. M. Wheeler and Rester Russell !;
Secretaries-Daniel Vondersmith, Jno. Neel
and Benz. F. Croft. Hon. James A. Gary, Re
publican candidate for Congress in the Fifth
Congressional District, was introduced and
made plain, practical, and sensible speech, in
which he appealed to the good sense, the honest
convictions of LOnest men TO judge OF the rela-
tive merits of the Democratic and Republican
parties for their suffrages. He dwelt upon the
great bug a-boo of Democrats-that of "nigger
equality" and in reply to which he stated that
Judge Merrick-his opponent-was canvasslng
the lower districts in company with two colored
men, and he Judge Merrck) one day last week
made speech at Annapolis with one of these
colored Democrats, and after the speeches were
over they both went to an oyster saloon, sat
down at the same table and took oysters
together. This Mr.. Gary said he was prepared
toproUe, if any Democrats of "the white mans
party" persuasion doubted the truthfulness of
his statement
Eloquent ,argumentativ speeches were made
by Capt Marony, P. r. LOvejoy ard Isaac Myers
OF Baltimore city, and by Messrs. S. Parker
Bosley and Jno. T. Ensor of Towsontown.
The meeting was orderly and respectful
throughout and was considerably larger than
the one held by Judge Merrck's friends on
Saturday previous.
Another meeting was held at the seventeen
mile house, York road, Eighth District, on
Tuesday evening last. The following gentle
men were elected officers: President-Henry
d. Morris, Esq; Vice Presidents-Israel Price,
Samuel L. Price, William F. Weller, C. L. Jes-
sop, E. Matthews, Thomas C. Price, II. Cor
such and Hugh Marshall, Esqs.; Secretaries
Evan M. Price and R. L. Duer, Esqs. The
meeting was large and interesting, there being
quite number of Democrats present. Able,
eloquent and effective speeches were delivered
by Hon. B. HI. Kennard, of Baltimore, Major
j. F. Carter of Howard county, John T. Ensor,
ESQ, and S. Parker Bosley Esq. We are salts
fed from the interest manifested by those
present, that Republcanism in that commu-
nifty is in most healthy condition. Here, as
elsewhere in Hon. James A. Gary's district
the laboring classes of the people, those whose
horny palms are their passports to the dignity
OF labor, take deep interest in the election Of
this man of the people. He is eminently self
made man, having spent fifteen years of his
life at work in factory. He knows the feel
ings of poor man and understands his wants
and interests, and will to the best of his ability
take care of them.

Anti-Republican-De Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in the Third Maryland District, in a speech
at Broadway Institute in Baltimore, few nights
ago, said of the Republican mass meeting that
was held at Exchange Place on the 18th ultimo,
that it was "a loo and Uulgar demonstration /"
In Democratic language this means that the
meeting was, and the Republican party general
y is composed of the common people-whch
Mr.. Swami means are mechanics laboring men,
men with sunburnt hands and horny palms. If
this is what the "Great Sea!'' meant, we plead
'guilty" to the charge. The Republican party
is made up Of the men whose muscle and swea:
drive the plows, run the threshing machines,
conduct the brick-yards, pave the streets, build
our houses, paint our dwellings, construct our
bridges, rear oar cattle, manufacture our fabrics
and perform all sorts Of manual labor that adorns
an honest man, and makes a nation great and
wealthy and its people respectable and respected
Then this great Democratic light has been she'd
ding some truth upon the subject if he informs
those who go to his circuses that the Republican

is because it is composed of the common people

Dear Sir,-We take pleasure in testifying to
the merits of the Babcock Fire Extinguisher, as
it has no doubt saved US many thousands of dol.
lars. Our mill caught fire upon the roof, on the
evening of the l7th from a burning chimney
1t burned a hole through the root, and in the
worst place to get at in the whole mill, and wher
discovered the flames were bursting out with
great force. The miller in charge gave the alarm
and commenced throwing water from barrel,
which we have through the mill, while the watch
man went for the ''Babcock, +" which soon arrived
and in three minutes the fire was entirely extin
guished. We have one of Fales Il jerks force
pumps attached to powerful water wheel, which
throws thousand gallons per minute with two
or four streams, and had it not been for THU
| little Babcock would have had this amour
| of water thrown i'll for an indefinite time, anC
| any miller can imagine the amount of damage
| the water would have done, saying nothing o
| the fire. As it was the fire was all extinguisheC
before the hose could be brought to bear on it,
We consider these machines perfectly invaluable
especially to -four mills, as water is nearly as baC
| as fire, and would advise every miller TO secur
| at least two of them.
Ship US two more, with the necessary charges
as soon as possible.
Very truly, yours,

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Voters Should

Acquaint themselves with a few facts before
voting at the election for congressman on next
Tuesday. They cannot vote intelligently un-
less they do. The result of the election will be
considered by both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis as indicative of the popular judgment
upon the financial policy of the Government.
Unless the men who do the voting are posted
upon the minutia of that policy the result will
be safe criterion of their endorsement or
condemnation of the financial course pursued
by the Administration. Voters should remem-
Der that
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
with President Grants Administration in nine
teen months has reduced by actual payment,
the public debt by the amount of $17s, 54s, 6O7,
and that
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
with Andrew Johnson's administration during
thu last eighteen months of its existence, re-
dueed the public debt by only 81, 1888, $1,000.
This puts great gulf between the values of
the two administrations to the PEOPLE. 1t
should put as great gulf between every hon
est, patriotic voter and the Democratic party.
THE REDUCTION
made by President Grants Administration has
decreased the annual interest, which was
mostly payable in gold, by sS,7S1,679, which
relieves the people of that much burden of
taxation.
Voters should know that
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
during the first eighteen months of the present
Administration collected more revenue, with
out any change in the revenue laws, by $751;
213, 1850 than did
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
under the Administration of Andrew johnson
during the last eighteen months ofits existence.
Voters, bear in mind that
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
expended during the first eighteen months of
the present Administration $50, $50 ,O6O.77 less
than
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
spent during the last eighteen months of An
drew Johnson's Administration. These state
ments are not puzzles" as some distinguished
Democratic orators in our midst are laboring

This makes the Republican Party worth

The GREAT NoRTHwEsr.-It appears by the CEN
sus that the population of Iowa is l. lS7, 39S.-
Michigan has l ,l9l ,46l. This is an extraordi-
nary even thing between States with so large a
number of people. Wisconsin also has about l
100, 900. The Northwest, in almost every State,
goes up into the millions. Ohio approximates to
5000, 900; Illinois, 1850, 900; Indiana, say,
LOO, 600, and Missouri, 1850, 900. In these
seven State there is certainly over IL, 900, 900 in
habtants which Minnesota, Kansas and Nebras-
ka will bring up to 1000, 600. In 1880, forty
years ago, the whole United States did not have
as large population. In 1910 there were but
four Northwestern States-Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Michigan-and their population was not one
fifth of what il is in the Northwest now. There
was then no Wisconsin or Iowa at all. These
great States have been entirely built in less than
half a lifetime ola man The annals of the world
afford no such similar instance of growth. The
population of the United States this year, it is
thought, will exceed SO, 900, 900. Therefore in

FEEDING CATTLE ETC -With respect to feeding
the first rule is, little at time and often be-
cause experience has shown that animals that ca
much in short time do not fatten so we'll al
those which eat less but more frequently. The
second rule is, to begin the course with cabbage
and turnips, then to employ carrots and potatoes
and lastly, Indian, oat, or barley meal. Thes,
ailments ought TO be varied several times a day
or ofiener, if convenient; and instead of Away!
