to open their mouths and gulp down your weak
and fimsy platform without word. The com

When "Mr. B." threatened to reply to the
letter of the 25th inst, he was not aware, proba

they were mouthed about the village the first
part of the week, and consequently will be
rather stale in this locality when published.
Perhaps "Mr. B." is like the school teacher
we had here some time since, who, when his
party began to mistrust his loyalty, voted an
open Democratic ticket with great flourish.
We ask, Where is that teacher? Echo answers,

Election Tuesday, November 4th.
Oll11OSRd to 1t.

The Greeley candidates have not met one Of
the charges in our platform. They dodge them
by declaring that the Republicans are not the
people to whom reform should be committed.
They might have relieved themselves from a
great deal of the anxiety that they have expert
enced and from the moral stain of manufactur-
ing great many statements about the Republic
can party and our candidates that have nothing
whatever to do with the issues, if they had de-
clared themselves in favor of the local reforms
laid down in our platform. This they have per-
sistenly refused to do. Those reforms are such
as commend themselves to the good sense of
every man in the community. And we care not

subjects, he misunderstands his duties to society
unless be favors the embodiment of these recon-

them.
Unless the reforms set forth in those resolu-
tons become the law and the gospel of the peo-
pie, the tax payers will have to open wide their
pocket-books in the future

Repeaters will be on hand from Baltimore in
the precincts bordering on the city to assist in
making up the requisite number of votes to Sc
cure majority in the county for the Greeley
party. Keep sharp lookout for them and
make them acquainted with the law applicable
to their crimes. There were any quantity of
these in the city from Philadelphia and other
places who discharged the duty of able bodied
voters at the Mayors election by repeating all
day.

1t cost the county last year Sl3,474.26 for
opening streets around Baltimore city. 1t is
said opening the streets increases the value of
property and thus furnishes more taxes for the
County Treasury. Yet it is demonstrated to us
that our basis of taxation has increased only
81 ,191 900 in all thattim This only furnishes
$6,212.30 taxes to the Treasury-less than one
half of what is given to the Street Commission
ers for riding in their ambulance.
The execution of the law as laid down in
the Republican platform. refusing to allow &C.
tras to bridge and road contractors unless the
Commissioners advertise for proposals and bids
are furnished, thus giving the work for the
extras to the lowest responsible bidders, will
be worth $4,000 per annum to the tax payers
of Baltimore county. Our candidates are COM
mitted to it. The others are opposed to it,

The Herald says the State debts of Virginia,
Geogia, Texas and Louisiana have increased
enormously since the war because of Republ-
can extravaganza. The Democratic editor of
the Herald ought to know that these States are
all Democratic except Louisiana and she has
been Republican only a year. We have an
idea If these States knew they would have their
governments changed by him, they might be
willing to assist him into Congress by sending
him to the Legislature.
The economy of the Greeley party has
doubled the expenses of Baltimore county in
ten years. Yet this same party, according to
the wisdom of the Herald, expects the Govern
ment of the United States under President Grant
with thirty seven States and forty millions of
people to be run with the same amount money
that Washington, Jefferson and Madison run it
with, when there were about fifteen or sixteen
States and about five millions of people. But
what has this TO do with $40 for bench warrants
and attachments?

The Greeley party that is boasting so much of
its majority has printed Republican tickets with
the Greeley Commissioners upon it and they have
requested (?) the Republican school teachers to
vote these tickets and to use their influence in
securing others to do the same.
GOOD MEN,
look out that none of these tickets find their way
into the box. We do not impugn the Board of
School Commissioners for debating to school
teachers how they shall vote, giving slight in
timatiou of what may result if they decline to ac-
coed to said request, but we have been informed
that these tickets have been printed, that school
teachers are expected to vote them and to ask
others to do the same. We know that the School
Commissioner who has the most interest in the
ticket would not use this means of electioneering
unless he could make votes by it.

FATAL AFFAIR AT CUMBERLAND, MD.-On
Monday afternoon last Lloyd L. Cleary, one of
the editors of the Daily Times, was shot and
MORALLY wounded by John H. Resley. The
affair was caused by the publication in the
Times of an article assailing the character and
honesty of his father, Horace Resley, Clerk of
the County Court, about paying jurors and tai
esmen in a case tried last week. Resley, it is
elleged, went to the Times Office, met Cleary in
the second story, and asked him (Cleary) if he
wrote the article. Cleary said, "John, give me
a chance" to which he replied "no," and at
the same drawing pistol he fred two shots
in rapid succession. One passed through the
neck, the other lodged in the breast near the
heart. Cleary expired about O'Clock the same
evening. Resley surrendered himself and was
committed to Jail. Cleary was thirty-one years
old and unmarried.

l9- The New York Times of few days
back, in speaking of the disturbing causes in f.
nancial circles, says there would be none il peo-
pie would make up their minds to carry on bus
mess just as usual. Business men in country
towns hold back their orders, because they are
afraid of parting with their money, and they de-
prive themselves OF Legitimate profit, and add to
that scarcity of greenbacks which has been pro-
duced largely by artificial causes. We do not
deprecate reasonable prudence and economy, but
the plan of refusing to pay bills, and of hoard
ing money, is only calculated to bring upon US
the very evils which we are all anxious to avert.
The trade of the country, as we have said many
times, is in perfectly sound condition, and all
would be well if we ceased to fight against our
own good fortune. When have we enjoyed bet
ter harvests? When has the world been so anx-
ious to buy our cotton and our grain ? There is
nothing of gloomy character in our present po-
sition except the lack of confidence on the part
of the public. Why not struggle manfully
against that2 We have fought against greater
difficulties during the last dozen years, and sue
