Tuesday Next is Election Day
Close Of the Campaign.

Democrats, the time for discussion is
about past, aud the time for action is
nearly here. The election takes place on
Tuesday next, aud the issue is whether
the county and State shall be handed over
to the Republican party or whether the
Democrats shall continue to administer the
affairs Of both.
Under Democratic rule the State tax
has been reduced from so cents on the
s1O0--the last Republican levy-to 1S3
cents. and the State debt has been reduced
uearIyt,co and a kaIfmil7iioa dollars. Not
one cent Of direct taxes goes to the support
ofthe State government, which issuppOrted
by license fees mainly, Ten cents Of the
1S2 cents of the State levy goes to sup
port the public schools, and the balance IS
absorbed in paying interest on the State $
Indebtedness. The States credit is equal
TO that Of any State in the Union, and
there are but four States that have less
tax rate. The last Legislature inaugural
cd many measures of reform and relief,
and the wholesome effects will be quite
marked IN a year or two. It provided for
reducing the interest on the State debt
from six to four aad half per cent? cut
down the salaries Of the tobacco inspectors,
oyster police officers, acknowledgement,
mine inspector, weigher of live stock, cut
off appropriations to agricultural societies
and to colleges that formed no part Of the
State educational system.

eision. The Democrats have a very cOn-
siderable majority in this county, which
has been shown at every election since
1867. If the Democratic vote is polled
there can be no doubt about the election
Of tia entire ticket by good majorities.

The Republican managers in Carroll
county have had printed and circulated
what purports to be Democratic tickets
but which are spurious and are intended
to deceive the unwary voter. This at
tempt to secure the election of part of
their candidates by spurious tickets should
be rebuked by every honest man in the
county, Republican as we'll as Democrat.
A fair vote and honest count is all that
honest people desire, and they should unite
in putting their seal of condemnation upon
any attempt to change the public verdict
by deeeiving voters.
Having run out of arguments to induce
people to place them in power, the Repub-
lican party is now resorting to desrePuta-
bic tricks as have served their purposes
elsewhere. The people Of Carroll, We take
it, viii not coantenance and endorse the
use of Buffalo tickets, neither do they
want any Louisiana steals Praetiecd here,
and We expect the honest voters to rebuke
this attempt at deception at the polls on
Tuesday next.

Contest for the Grain Trade Of tie Cum
bsrland Valley.


A Chambersbarg, Pa, correspondent, OF the
Baltimore lSma, under date Of October 29th,
SAYS, The fight for the grain trade Of Frank
in comfy, between the Pennsylvania Road
for Philadelphia and the Western Maryland
Road spr Baltimore, opened here this morn
ing Mr. Stoner, son OF a wealthy tor
warding and commission merchant Of Union
Bridge, has been chosen BY the Western Ma
ryland 10 fssame charge OF the thirty thous-
and hushel elevator owned by that corpora
ton al this point This gentleman was here
YESTERDAY. but owing to the fact of the non
arrival OF the engine and some other elevator
machinery, he returned TO Baltimore to hurry
up their delivery, expecting 10 return here on
Monday ready TO fight the battle with horse,
foot and Dragons.
la the way Of competition Chambersburg
has been woefully behsndhand, and every
branch of trade has suffered, from the fact
,hatthe farmers preferred teaming their wheat
to Hagerstown, where grain ruled from eight
to thirteen ceuts higher per bushel than here.
For instance, this week No l wheat tehoicel
was quoted at Hagerstown at 81. As; at Green
castle, on the Cumberland Valley Road,
eleven miles north, at Sl.3s, while at Cham
bers5urg aud Shippeusburg 1t took hard work
to get SI.35. What was detrimental to
Chambersburg poured the shekels into the
Golfers of the Hagerstown merchants.
Now, however, there is TO be change. Ii
was quietly announced amongst the farmers
in town to-day that at the Western Maryland
elevator Sl.4S would be paid for No. wheat,
which was cents higher than market quota
tons, and that the new buyer would be ready
for business on an extended scale next week.
At these prices the commission merchants
shipping over the Pennsylvania will be cut
out of their percentage, and the thunder OF
the heavy guns early next week is eagerly
looked forward to.
The friends of the new road have since
its inception fought valiantly for it on the
ground that as a competitive line it would
benefit Franklin county yearly TO the extent
of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they
feel quite jubilant that their victory is com
plete over the old road partisans, who freely
used the press of Chambersburg in their eff
forts to refute the arguments set forth by the
advocates of the Western Maryland Road.

Nearly $4,000 Saved.

The present Board Of County Commits
siouers was elected TO reduce expenses at
the Aims House, among other things.
This has been done, aud the result is a
saving Of nearly Three thousand Dollars

why You Should Vote for the Democratic
Commissioners.

Every voter in the county should vote
for the Democratic nominees for County
Commissioners. Two Of them belong to
the present Board, and are tried officers.
They have saved nearly $4,000 in the
AImsbouse expenses, paid of nearly s16,-
900 of the county debt, built number Of
bridges for public safety and convenience,
kept up public schools, and still have
$4,000 in the Treasury. A portion of this
viii be applied to further reducing the
County Debt.
1.-THE people Of this county really de-
sire economy, they canaot fail to endorse
the present Commissioners. They arc

themselves. The Republican nominees
arc inexperienced, and, if elected, no doubt
would be slow in understanding the affairs
of the county, to the detriment of the
public good.
