For Tie Democratic Advocate.

DEMocRATs-stand to your guns. Close
up your ranks. The long roll Is sounding.
The drums beat to arms. The bugles are
sounding the charge all along the lines. Now,
let no one skulk to the rear, in this prelimi.
nary skirmish to the great battle Of 1880. |
have been all over this county, and | tell you,
now, that you are going to elect every man
on your ticket. Yes-every man. The Rad.
icals know this, but like boys in the dark they
whistle to keep their courage up. Democrats
have not forgotten the days Of G3 and ga,
when soldiers surrounded the polls and pre-.
vented them from voting. When men were
taken from their families and sent 10 Fort
Mclienry. These things are not forgotten
by Democrats. Nor have they forgotten that
they were cheated out Of the Presidency in
1876, and that Grant called his soldiers to
Washington to oyerawe Congress. They re.
member, too, that the Radicals depend on
the bayonet at the polls, and that Hayes FIVE
times vetoed the bills passed by the Demo.
Gratis in Congress to free the elections from
Government interference. Democrats mean
to rebuke the Radical party for these things,
for they all upheld and sanctioned these
wrongs and prosecutions Of Democrats, aud
they would do il again il they had the oppor,
tunity Democrats have got good memories
and they will talk over the past, and vote &C.
cordingly FaEKDoM.

Local Option.

The citizens Of Carroll county, favorable to
the passage of Local Option Bill by the
next Legislature OF our State, assembled in
convention on the 10Th Of July last, and with
view to avoid party complications and to
secure the sense Of the people on the subject,
proposed plan by which each voter might
express his sentiments on the Local Option
question without forsaking his party afhlia-
tons. For this purpose the undersigned were
appointed committee to wait on the candi.
dates Of both political parties, with the request
that the words "For Local Option Bill, y
be printed on all the tickets in such manner
that any one opposed to the measure could
easily detach them from the ticket. This
duty was attended to by the committee, but
the proposition was not accepted. The can.
didates preferring TO add to our proposition
the words, against a Local Option BILL
To this we do not accede: first, because be.
ing appointed by the convention to do Ger.
tain thing, we do not feel authorized to do OF
accept something else; and second, because
we have not the leisure or the means to press
the canvass on such an issue in the short
time remaining before the election.
But we are very far from feeling disheart.
ened at such result. We mean TO redoubie
our diligence and work for the good cause
until full success shall crown our efforts.
What every man knows TO be, in the end, fol
his own welfare; what his calm Judgment ap,
proves, and what his enlightened conscience
demands, cannot be in the nature of things
very long withheld And so We believe that
Local Option, or the right to say, by vote,
whether or not the liquor traffic, with all III
horrors, shall be perpetuated in our midst
shall soon be secured.
We venture 10 suggest to our friends
throughout the county to circulate petitions
in every district and neighborhood, and have
only voters to sign them, for experience show.
us that though widows and orphans may have
been made so by intemperance, yet their most
earnest cries cannot be heard by the politi.
clan. We trust, also, that you will attend
the polls on election day and do your best in
every fair and honorable way to elect those
to the Legislature who will, when there, re-
speet the petitions you may present Coz Their
consideration.

All the news one gets Of the triangular war
in South America is Of naval engagements in
which the Peruvians are successful. The
land forces have not yet met in combat, and
Bolivia, party of the FIRST part, has as yet
had no hand in the active operations. Atth
beginning Of the conflict, Chill was supposed
much better prepared on land aud sea than
either Peru or Bolivia; but misfortune, bad
management, or both deprived her Of her ad.
