HERE Is MORE OF IT-WooLFoRD BEIN,

HERE Is MORE OF IT-WooLFoRD BEING
SHOWN Up BY HIS OWN PARTY PAPERS,
The editor Of the Hagerstown Mail Demo
cratic) goes for Woolford, the "Ring "
candidate for Comptroller, in the most
approved manner. Hear him:
"Since the year 1870, the sum of 50, 700
annually has been appropriated by the Leg
islatures of this State to pay expenses of
Mr.. Woolford, in protecting the revenues
of the State" In addition to that he has
enjoyed salary of $4,000 year.
Here is S13, 500 in Mr.. Woolford's hands
over his constitutional salary. 1t was on
MIR. Woolford's own application that these
successive extra appropriations have been
made. What has he done with this S13,-
500? A member of the House, Mr.. Brace,
from Allegany, two years ago offered an
order to inquire into this matter; Woolford
was opposed to it and had it beaten. The
money still remains unaccounted for.
Will the Democratic candidates of this
county look into this next Winter? This
is only one item. Hereafter others will be
mentioned.
Here are undeniable truths for Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, coming from Wool
ford's own political friends. Read and
ponder well. Remember no Republican
twaddle about this. 1t is "pure and unde-
filed " Democratic truth.

NORTH EAST. October 18th. 1879.

North EAST, October 14th, 1875.
EDITOR WHIG:-I see by reports pub
lished in The Democrat, from week to week,
of the doing at the various club meetings
of that party that the candidate for Sheriff,
Mr.. Shippers, seems very anxious to impress
upon the party the thoroughness of his
Democracy, by avowing publicly at those
club meetings his "thick and thin course
as a Democrat. have no fault to find
with any man who chooses to be a Demo-
crat, or who glories in never having voted
any other ticket, and vows his intention to
vote SO as long as he lives. This is ques-
ton Of taste which some folks who are
Democrats may think is bad taste. But
in the face of so much declaration of I'M
swerving Democracy, how is Mr.. Shippers
to reconcile it with the fact that he was an
active member of the Union League of
North East, about the time the rebellion
broke out? 1t is pretty we'll known that
Democrats were as scarce as hens teeth in
the Leagues. Mr.. Shippers, it is well
known, was active in interfering at the
polls to prevent Democrats from voting who
were accused with sympatlHAing with the
Confederacy. This is not considered test
of sound Democracy. Neither was Mr.. S.
known or suspected by his neighbors of
being Democrat till the "Bread and But
ter Brigade" of Andy johnson sprang into
existence in 1865. If Mr.. Shippers was so
warm Democrat as he is now trying to
make people believe, before 1865, he must
have deceived his Union League associates,
OF he never would have been in possession
of their pass words and signs. OF the fact
that he was a Lacquer there is no doubt,
proof of which can be produced any day.
And he must have abused his Democrat
friends in manner for which there is no
excuse by interfering to prevent them from
voting. Democrats in his immediate neigh
borhood are opposing his election because
they have no confidence in the man, and
allege that he is only seeking the office for
selfish ends.
But his inconsistency does not stop here
1t is beyond denial that he is a Steward in
the M. E. Church, and that he is cleo
pioneering, that is attempting to influence
voters in his favor, by treating and spend
ing money for liquor in all the hotels in the
county. This is fully as inconsistent with
the practice and discipline of the Methodist
Church as it was for Democrats to be mem
bers of Union Leagues, and to drive their
brother Democrats from the polls for SYM
pathizing with the Confederacy. The
declarations of candidate guilty of SO
many incongruities ought to be received
with many grains of doubt, when he shows
so much anxiety about his Democratic
record. CONSISTENCY.

s8 Poor Shippers is catching it on all
sides. The last report current at the "mass
meeting" was that he had equipped Ned,
the colored barber of North East, out with
horse and buggy to electioneer among the
"niggers," as the Democracy express them
selves Now this is past belief. A CORE
spondent charges him with having been a
Union Lacquer and with preventing Demo-
Gratis from voting. This is preposterous to
spread such reports on Democrat who has
always voted a Democrat ticket and ex-
poets to live and die Democrat. Glory
Hallelujah!
Still another report has been put in cir
culation that he converted all his Building
Society stock into cash at the last meeting,
to be used as an electoneering fund. We
protest against such usage of an "honora-
BILE high-toned gentlemen" Charles lines
haven't fallen in pleasant places.

Proposal of the Temperance Alliance to
the two Political Parties.

Agreeable to notice published in last
weeks Wing, the Executive Committee of
the Temperance Alliance for Cecil county,
met in Elkton on Tuesday, and after an
exchange of views of those present, the
following formal proposition was made to
the chairmen of the Central Committees of
the Republican and Democratic parties,
with request to present the matter to the
committees for their action:
A meeting of the Executive Committee
of the Temperate Alliance for Cecil county
was held in Elkton on Tuesday last, 18th
inst, at which the following resolution was
passed:
Resolrsd, That the charmen of the Execu-
tive Committee of each political party of our
county, be requested to have the matter
brought before their respective committees
in order to have printed on the tickets that
may be voted this Fall, the words " For
Local Option land against Local Option"
in order that the sense of our whole voting
population may be had on the question of
the propriety of having this law passed by
our State Legislature, and that the Chair
man of said Executive Committee be re-
quested to report their action to this body
on the Goth instant.
In accordance thereunto you are hereby
requested to take the action therein indi-
Gated. Yours very respectfully,
l.. NJ. HAINEs,
Secretary of Executive Committee
of Temperance Alliance.
To E. E. EWING, Chairman of
Elk. Committee Of Republican party.
In compliance with the above request the
Central Committees of the two political
parties have been called to meet at Elkton
on Tuesday next, to take the subject mat
ter embodied in the resolution herewith
published under consideration, and we hope
that response will be made by all the men,
bers of both parties, for nothing can be
accomplished unless the committees of both
parties agree. We hope they will deem it
advisable to comply with the desire Of the
temperance men who are advocates Of Local
Option, which will offer the voters of the
county an opportunity to test the question
at the polls and satisfy them, without
committing the political parties to that
particular phase of temperance legislation,
and free the candidates for the Legislature
from vexatious question which they are
expected to dispose of without the aid of
any tangible cooperation and support.

An early start, and fearing he couldn't make
his escape with the horse, he let it loose,
and it strayed to the neighborhood of Col

was recovered by its owner. The thief is
well known and will doubtless soon be ap-
pretended. ~

B Bret Harte's new novel, "Gabriel
Conroy," which is at last completed, and
carefully guarded in the publishers safe,
calls forth the highest anticipations in
literary circles. 1t will be begun as a
serial in the November number of Serb
ner's Magazine, without illustrations, for
it is said to be graphic beyond need of
them, and full of incident. The story
takes its title, Gabriel Conroy," from its
hero, a simple, good hearted, honest old
miner, of a type somewhat different from
that of his illustrious predecessors in Mr..
Harte's writings. Several familiar friends,
nevertheless, renew old acquaintance, and
among them Col. Starbottle. The story is
wholly in Mr.. Harte's original field, and is
said to fulfill, as novel, the promise of
his very best tales. The opening is pro-
nounced, by critics who have had access to
the manuscript, to be very powerful; it is
terrible picture of a starving camp, and
from this start the story is said to hold the
reader with an almost uncomfortable grip,
seeing that he has to wait month by month
