HERE Is MORE OF IT -WooLFoRD BEING SHOWN
UP BY HIS OWN PARTY PAPERs.-The editor of
the Hagerstown Nail (Democratic) goes for
Woolford, the "ring" candidate for Comptroller.
in the most approved manner. Hear him:
"since the year 1870, the sum of twenty
seven hundred dollars annually has been ap-
propriated by the Legislatures 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$2,OO year.
"Here is $l3,5OO in Mr.. Woolford's hands
over his constitutional salary. 1t was on Mr..
Woolford's own application that these success
sive extra appropriations have been made.
What has he done with this $l3,50O? A mem
Der 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 ~nac
countedfor.
"Will the Democratic candidates ofths coun-
tv look into this next winter? This is only one
item. Hereafter others will be mentioned"
Here are undeniable truths for Democrats
and Republicans, coming from Woolford's own
political friends. Read and ponder well. Re-
member, no Republican twaddle about this.
It is "pure and undefled' Democratic truth.

"went for Gen. Grant on the third-te term bust

about FOURTH term Woolford and his $500
grab from the Treasury of Maryland? The peo-

does not interest any one at this particular

Mg>The "Grand Democratic Rally" at this
place on Tuesday was not "a "grand" Democrat
ic rally at all. In fact the "boys" didn't "ral-
ly' worth cent. The meeting was held in the
Court Room and at no time during its continu-
ance was the hall full, and we have the author
ity of a number of competent gentlemen for
stating that certainly not more than three hun
bred and probably not over two hundred and
fifty people attended. Out of this number
there were at least one hundred who were not
in sympathy with the meeting, but who were
only present as lookers-on. The Gazette heads
its report of the meeting, "GGthering Of the
Masses at Toaosontoton," and goes on with long
account of the "enthusiasm," &c. The same
paper, in reporting the Carroll meeting at
Frederick, said that Hon. A. K. Syester was
present and made remarks, and even had the
audacty to publish what it called Mr.. Syester's
speech, when in fact that gentleman ,oaS not at
the meeting at ALL Well, there is just about as
much truth in its report of the enthusiasm"
here on Tuesday. Another thing. We are not
prepared to say what "good" the meeting did,
but do know something of the harm it did the
cause of the ''ring" candidates. We know of
at least one Democratic gentleman, who, be-
fore Mr. Carroll had finished his speech, got up
and left the room and afterwards told another
Democrat that he nor any member of his fam
ily-and there are five votes in it-would sup

e- On our first page can be found the let
ter of Hon. S. Teackle Wallis, the Reform can
ddate for Attorney General of the State. AS
piece of political literature it is peerless. As
an expose of the tyranny and corruptions of
the dominant ring it is unanswerable. AS the
production of Democrat of long standing and
eminent service, who has never sought Office
and never accepted position without having it
thrust upon him, it is entitled to q respectful
consideration. How any Democrat can say
that one of Mr.. Wallis devotions and sacrifices
for the Democratic party can be prompted by
other than the purest motives and the most ex-
allied intentions it is impossible for us to I'M
derstand. This incisive Indictment against
the party he has been delighted to serve, with
out asking aught at its hands, is worthy of a
calm perusal, searching investigation by all
who are not so blind they will not see. He
thinks that he is rendering the Democratic
party more service by opposing its corrupt can
didates and ring selections than by supporting
them at the polls. He is working purely for
reform. 1t should be read daily by every
Democrat in the State who desires better things

Mg-The meeting herd here on Tuesday
the only one which will be held in the county
by the "ring" candidates for State offices. This
being the fact an extra amount of steam was
put on to get up large gathering. 1t is hard
ly necessary to say, that, in point of numbers,
the meeting was dead failure. All that were
present easily got into the Court room, and had
the Republicans, Potato Bugs and colored peo-
pie been taken out the affair would have been
slim indeed. The fact that the County Exc
cutive Committee met on that day to complete
the Commissioners ticket, brought out great
many people who otherwise would not have
attended. The people won't "enthuse" worth
a cent, Notwithstanding the announcement
that Mr.. Carroll was to be here and address
them. They want to see the Centennial Gov
ernor and therefore postponed their visit until
the Hon. j. Morrison Harris comes to Towson-
town. Right!

Leaving as deficit this large sum of money Is
not this enough to move our people to action2
About the conclusion of the war the Legisla-
ture authorized loan of five or six million dol
lars for special purposes, and it was called the
defense loan. This loan was not used for the
purposes originally designed, and since then it
has been perverted to other purposes and especial
ly in making up deficiencies created by large ex-
penditures, until we believe it is Row almost ex-
hausted. 1t will be observed that it took $685.
391.73 of this loan TO make up the receipts equal
to the expenditures of the last year. This being
exhausted unless something is done, we must
bear increased taxation TO meet the increasing
penditures. We have this loan upon as now,
and we should resist to the bitter end any more
such loans to meet such expenditures. Our re-
ceipts from the common resources ought to meet
our expenditures; we should never borrow to
make them up-otherwise debt taxation and
bankruptcy must follow.
That the people may be posted, we call their
attention to items of expenditures: The 'Legis-
lature" cost last year the sum of $780, 152.67.-
This enormous charge stands in the COmptroller's
report naked and alone-no detail of items, what
ever, and in this gigantic sum is hid the ''small
and great villianies" now the accompaniment
of legislative bodies. In this, we presume, is in
cuded the swarm of officials that are employed
in House and Senate, in number almost equal to
the members.
Let our Democratic people of the counties think
that in a 80 days session the cost of these Ill
legislators is Sl9l, 1921. Let the Press of the
counties and the people of the counties, who hate
fraud and wrong and who would abate taxation
see to it that none but pure men be sent to the
Legislature-men who will rectify this browning
outrage against the people; also see that the
Comptroller shall itemize the expenditures, so
that the people may see what they are.

Leaving apparently balance of $50, 295.77
in receipts over expenditures for the last year !;
but this is downright imposition upon the
people who do net look for themselves.
Among the items put down as receipt in the
above statement, is the sum of $266, 697.50, when
in fact it is derived from loan-bonds put upon
the market and sold and to that extent increas-
ing the public indebtedness. 1t is not real re-
cept from the revenues of the State; borrowing
money to swell the receipts in the Treasury in or
der to show balances is system of financial
management that our Democratic people will not
submit to.
Striking out this as resource or receipt, we
find the alarming fact that our receipts for the
past year did not near reach our expenditures.

Oar Finances i7e an Alarming Con-
CitiOn.
The following is a reprint from the Hagers-
town Nail, (Democratic,) published some time
ago, but as it is most damaging exposition Of
the extravaganza, prohigacy and mismanagement
of our State affairs it deserves to be re-read and
re-published and remembered when the day of
election arrives:
1t does not recur to the minds of our people
that the finances of the State are in an alarming
condition. it has not attracted the attention Of
the Press Of the city, for no allusion has been
made to the subject.
The expenditures of the last Legislature and
the one preceding were most extravagant and de-
voted 10 objects Of the most objectionable charac-
ter. The balances as shown to exist by Comp
troler Woolford's last report, are illusory; in
deed it is nothing but sham and if the people
move on much longer under such reports, they
will wake up to actual bankruptcy. The State
tax which should be diminished to l5-even SO
low as l2-has been raised from 10 to fraction
over 20 cts, and yet, with all this, for the last
fiscal year ending Sept. 3oth, 1874, there was an
actual deficit in the Treasury-thst is, the real
receipts did not meet the real expenditures. By
the report of that year the receipts from all sources
amounted to S2, 357, 202. IL
And the expenditures to 2,276, 9O6.37
