Close Up The Ranks.

But few days will intervene before the
election, and all good and true Democrats and
Conservatives should buckle on their armor
and prepare for the contest. Your candidates
are in the field. The numbers of the oppose
ton have been greatly augmented by the ad-
dition of negro voters, who, though they do
not understand the value of the elective fran
chise, understand how to be efficiently drilled
and to vote in solid column against the Demo-
cratic party. This, apart from all other con-
eiderations, ought TO induce the Democracy. TO
close up their ranks and vote solidly for the
nominees of their party. They are all good
men and worthy of support. Remember the
enthusiasm of former years, before ruinous
war had wrought such changes in party plat
forms. Your principles remain the same
Close up the ranks, then, and see that no
Democrat is absent from the polls-rekindle
your council-fres as in the olden time, until
you have awakened an enthusiasm that will
be echoed back in words of cheer from every
hill-top. Let all do their daty, remembering
that they have a country to serve, and if they
wish to transmit to their Children the inesti-
mable rights Of freemen, they must mite and
forgetting all minor differences, give their
hearty and cordial support TO the nominees.
Close up the ranks-Shrink from no DUTY and
success will crown your effort.

Trust what Time has Sanctioned.

The maxim that the voice of the people is
the voice of the divinity, may in some cases,
be open to doubt, but the testimony of honest
and enlightened witnesses extending through
a series of years. and to the same purport, is
worthy Of credence, admits of no question
Upon such testimony the reputation of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters as an autidote and cure
for many ailments is based. During the TWEEN
ty years that it has been before the world, in
Vulnerable preparations intended to compete
with it, have gone up like rockets, and come
down the distinguished sticks. Meanwhile the
progress of that Incompatible tonic has been
swift and steady-always upward and onward
like the eagles fight. It's introduction pro-
duced revolution in therapeutics, and is
proved 10 be one of those salutary revolutions
that cannot go backwards To-day Hostetter' 5
Bltters is one Of the most popular remedies in
ehristendom, and commands a larger sale than
any other medicinal preparation, domestic or
imported on this side of the Atlantic. As a
cure for dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous
affections, general debility, and as a preventive
OF epidemic fevers, it takes precedence of every
| other remedy. This fact should teach the
ambitious country dealers who endeavor to
foist their local abortions on the public in its
stead, how futile their small attempts to caiole
the community must necessarily be. Where
the game fish have failed there is no chance
for the suckers

Judge BOWie's Position.

The Card Of RICHARD j. BOWIE, Esq, il
which he announces himself as a candidate foi
Chief Judge of this Judicial Circuit, must have
surprised many of that gentleman's bes
| friends. Mr. BOWIE evidently seeks to occupy
the position of an Independent candidate when
his antecedents have been anything but Demo-
cratic or Conservative and he was unanimous
ly recommended for the position by a Radical
Nominating County Convention. The claim
made by the " Card" that Mr.. BOWIE becomes
a candidate in Difference TO the request of "a
number of the most respectable citizens of this
Judicial Circuit without distinction of party"
is of too flimsy texture TO deceive anybody, I'M
less he can make it appear that he is not in full
accord with the Radical party-that his ac-
ton has not been induced by the request of the
aforesaid Convention, and that his nomination
by the Radical party was Vihom his consen,
and in opposition to his ,0M.
Can he do this? And if so, how can he ex-
plain a certain letter which he wrote to n
certain prominent Radical in another part of
the Judicial Circuit, which has been shown
around too freely TO be kept secret2
Mr. BOWIE is as clearly and emphatically
the nominee of the Radical party as any Con-
vention could have made The Radical Con-
vention ofthis County recommended him adopt
cd him nominated him. In announcing him
self as candidate after that Mr.. BOWIE accepts
the position as the regularly nominated leader
of the piebad organization of
Black spirits and white
Blue spirits and gray"
and cannot shield himself behind the plea
that he is an independent CANDIDATE. Mr..
BowIE's record stands in the way of his being
any other kind of candidate than Radical
one
Will any one dare TO contend that there is
difference between Recommendation and a
nomination. Then such person will assume
the responsibility Of commencing to popular
favor the very acme of political treachery for
il the Recommendation is not nomination it
is false pretence by which they expect to
capture white Democrats, ard drive an enter
ing wedge into the Democratic ranks, and by
this means disorganize The party. All true
Democrats and Conservatives will beware OF
the " catering wedge" be it ever SO deftly
handled

Our Candidate for Chief Judge.

The nomination OF Hon. JOSEPH II. BRAD-
LEY, Montgomery's favorite son, for the Chief
Judgship of this Circuit, has awakened an en-
thusiasm among our people that will tell with
powerful effect upon the result of our APP
preaching election. His name will prove a
tower Of strength to our county ticket and
bulwark Of the cause it represents.
Mr.. BRADLEY is a native Of our county, and
now resides at the home inherited from his
father. He has been for many years President
Of our Agricultural Society, which position he
has filed with great ability and utmost cour-
tesy and kindness towards all in any wise con-
nected with that enterprise. lie is an accom-
plished and profound jurist, and, during his
practice in the Washington Courts, he was the
acknowledged head Of the Bar. He has ever
been faithful to his clients and because he
was so successful, and made his mark as the
foremost man at the District Bar, it suited the
purpose of interested parties to seek his down
fall there. It is true he had but little mercy
for the courthouse clique. They commenced
the war upon him and he responded in a man
ner that they did not expect. Instead of
crawling to their feet and asking favors, he
| defantly met them, contending like man for
his own rights and the rights Of others. lie
was in their way. He would not become their
plant tool, and therefore, he must be crushed
| But, such man as JOSEPH II. BRADLEY was
not destined to be consigned to obscurity by
the action Of the arbitrary and venal Court at
Washington, that struck his name from its
roll of practitioners because he had, without
fee or reward, defended man, whom the
down and dragged from Egypt, in order to at
tempt public justification of his mothers
murder, by proving him guilty-which at
tempt most signally failed. This case, attract
ing so much interest, was only one of very
many where Mr.. B. defended with all his pow
er those who could make him no return but
| gratitude.
The people Of this judicial Circuit now have
an opportunity, of which they will eagerly
avail themselves, of placing on their bench a
Chief Justice inferior in no wise to any that
has heretofore occupied that exalted and re-
sponsible position. They know well his com
manding qualifications for the office. We con-
| leso oui uttSl iiADllllD " eAPieso our Own
conception of his eminent fitness for it. We
know that he is regarded with pride and cs-
TEEN by the extensive brotherhood Of the noble
profession which he adorns-that he is known
through the busy tongue of the press to the
multitude, who appreciate, through their emo
tional nature, the heroism of those who defend
the friendless poor from oppression. We know
In, 4 1
highest judicial Office Of our State. We know
that none could have been nominated, to whose
support the people of his native county would
have rallied with greater unanimity and en-
| thusasm.

To the Democratic Conservative Voters
Of Montgomery County.

FELLOW CITIZENS "A short time after my
nomination for the Sherifalty, ! learned that
report had been put in circulation that
voted for Abraham Lincoln Considering the
fact that my antecedents were generally known
to the people Of the county, and believing in
the old adage 4" that big lie is like big fish
thrown out upon dry land that it will kick
and splutter, but soon die if left alone,n l
was disposed to treat it with silent contempt;
but as | hear that some are disposed to give
credence to the report, | feel that it is due TO
political friends and TO myself publicly 10 an
nounce it false. Having grown up an old
Line Wing, in 1860 | voted for Bell and
Everett; in 1864 openly and actively sup
ported the Democratic ticket and have firmly
and unflinchingly supported it ever since
For my course in 1864 | was removed from the
Office Of Assistant Assessor under the 4" Inter
nal Revenue Act" which position, for reasons
satisfactory 10 myself, | had been induced to
accept. And while upon the subject, as a great
deal has been said about it, ! challenge any
man to point to an act of my life that makes
me in any way responsible for that or any of
the many burdens and Affections resulting
from the late civil war, or for that unhappy
conflict itself which has spread discor1 and ni-
fiction throughout the land. If | believed
that any honest man, knowing anything of
my character, would hesitate to accept the
aforegoing as true, could not be induced to
let my name remain before the people one day
longer for any position.

Our Ticket and Our Duty.

To-day we raise to its proper place in the tick
ct at the head of our columns, the name of Hon
JOSEPH H. BRADLEY, the Democratic Conserva-
tive candidate nominated for Chief Judge OF
this Judicial Circuit by the Convention that
assembled at Hyattstown, on Saturday last
With Mr.. BRADLEY's acceptance the work con-
fded to the Nominating Conventions, State,
County, and judicial is completed, and the
real work of the compaign-that OF ratifying
at the balot-box the action of these Conven-
. 1ions-begins. 1t is for Democrats and Con-
seryatves now en- maSse to address themselves
to This work.
Our nominee for Chief Judge is one of that
and esteem. He is a man of vigorous intellect
superot cultured mind, of keen wisdom,
thoroughly PRACTICAL of suave manners, high
born impulses and of unsullied private char
acter. lie will fill the position for which be
has been nominated and to which he will GER
tainly be elected with dignity aud ability in
no wise inferior to any who have preceded
him on the Bench Of our State.
But let Democrats and Conservatives beware
Of supneness aud inactivity. Without exertion
there can be no success. There is no man,
however humble he may be, but who possess
es certain degree of influence; let every
Democrat and Conservative employ what in
fuence he may have in securing the most utter
defeat of Radicalism in Maryland; let all
personal differences aud petty discussions be
sunk in one grand aim to rout the enemy The
whole personnel of our ticket is good Ifit be
not TO all tastes, let it be remembered that it is
of paramount Importance that Radicalism gain
not foothold in our good old State Look
at Radical rule in our sister States south of us
See there men reduced to state worse than
yassalage. See there communities controlled
and governed BY men who are devoid of prin-
cple, honor, humanity, in fact of every attri-
butte which goes to make up man. Burdeued
ind oppressed, ground down by the iron heel,
and deprived of almost every right belonging
20 an American citizen. The people of those
States generally are peaceable and law-abiding,
and anxious to apply themselves TO the varied
iarts of industry; to recuperate their depriva-
H~ons and losses, but Radical misrue is check
upon them. This glaring Ku-Klux fraud is
paraded before the country in justification.
Were States north of us similarly governed Ku-
Klux would defy all the power of the govern
ment to check it,
There is but short time left for work; let
every man enter the contest with will Bring
out the vote; let none remain away from TIE
lWplls. Vote yourself and see to it that your
ghbor votes likewise. The enemy is work
#ng-be not idle. Let November's sun look

II will thus be seen by the report of the
Treasurer of the old Board to the incoming
Board, and the receipt of the present Treasurer
as above, that the old Board went out of office
not only without owing a dollar, but leaving
a considerable sum in the Treasury 1t may
also be properly stated that the old Board never
during the whole time they were in office,
negotiated debt without having first learned
from the Treasurer of the State exactly the
amount standing to their credit in his office,
and exactly when he would pay il; so as to
be fully satisfied that they would meet the
