The Republican Organs ISLANDERS.

1t affords us considerable amusement TO read
the Bel Air Times, which appears to be a strange
compound of SANDER against the Democratic
party and inconsistent statements. 1t takes
special pains to attack the character of our State
Senator and representatives, accusing them of
embeZzlement of funds on large scale, (S150,
each y also with stealing postage stamps, &c
five were the Editor we would be afraid to
walk the streets of Bel Air, for fear that some
petty thief would relieve our pockets of quar-
ter. 1t seems strange that all the State Sena-
tors should have united to make our Senator,
Col Stump, President of the Senate, if he bore
such character, and itappears still more singu-
lar that the Republican Senators should have
met, at the close of the session, and have passed
resolutions of honor and respect for the Presi-
dent of the Senate, if he bore snch character,
or If his department was in any way to be re-
preached. The Times states that the Republi-
cans get no roads to mend This is absolutely
false. In the LIST district there is fair proper
ton of Republicans who mend roads; of course
not so many as Democrats, because our county
is largely democratic, and most of the Republi-
can party are negroes, who have no facilities
for doing such work. But our Democratic SUI
pervsors really employ more negroes than while
men to work on the roads; consequently, the
larger part Of the road money eventually finds
its way into the pockets of Republicans, not
Democrats
We find flaws in every statement we see, but
we cannot consume too much space in refuting
charges which we suppose every sensible man
must see. Old Abingdon will send up her ac-
customcd Democratic MAJORITY.

Every Democrat is in Honor Bound to
Support the Ticket.

AS this is the last issue of our paper before
the election, we take the occasion to urge
upon every true and earnest Democrat to
give a cordial and undivided support to the
ticket nominated by the Democratic party
ut its primary meetings. These gentlemen
have been invited by us to become our can
didates, and are entitled to expect that we
will act in good faith and give them our
votes, as we have virtually promised.
Our organization, in the true spirit of De-
mocracy, has submitted the selection of can
didates to the people themselves. The ma
iority, by their ballots at the primary cleo
ton, have named our candidates, and every
true Democrat is in honor bound to give to
the ticket his earnest and hearty support.
We are anxious that our county shall
maintain its proud position as the banner
county in the State and hope in our next is,
sue to record the election of every Democrat
on our ticket, by handsome majority.

The Importance of Electing Mr.. Stump

We hope our people will all remember the
Importance of electing Democrat to repre-
sent us in the State Senate. The Senator
elected this year will help to elect our next
United States Senator We should be very
sorry to see the State of Maryland repre-
sented in the United States Senate by man
selected by any Republican.
The two parties in that body are nearly
equally divided, and single vote might
determine the most important measures
A good Democrat in the United States
Senate may be able to hold the Republi-
can party in check and prevent the most
obnoxious legislation. When we elect our
Democratic President in 1884, as we intend
to do, we will also want good Democratic
Senator to support his administration.
Mr. Stump has represented us for one term
in the Senate in the most acceptable manner.
His election as President of the Senate shows
how highly he was appreciated by his fellow
senators. His best endorsement, however,
and the highest compliment that could be
paid him, was his unanimous nomination for
reelection, without one dissenting voice

People who imagined that President Ar
thur would pursue the policy inaugurated by
Gen. Garfield were greatly mistaken. The
new administration will be stalwart entirely.
The new Secretary of the Treasury, Judge
Folger, of New York, belongs to that faction,
and so do Mcssrs. Hunt, James and Lincoln,
the only members of Garfeld's cabinet who
willremain. All this can only point one way,
and that is, the complete restoration of the
Grant Conkliug faction to power. There
will evidently be no place in the new admin
istration for the friends of Blaine and the
dead Garfield. Grant has more influence at
Washington just now than any one else

To the Voters Of Hartford County.

On next Tuesday, the Sth day of November,
you are to determine whether the question of
the licensed sale of Intoxicating liquors shall be
submitted to the people of your county or not |
congratulate you on the opportunity of that day.
The form in which the question is presented is
perfectly fair, and perfectly convenient to all
1t does not require you to sacrifice any other
public interest to this one. In the language of
the letter of the Alliance to the Executive Com
mittees it Sin no way affects the status of exist
ing political parties" The Temperance ques-
tion, put in this form, leaves you free to act as
to the politics of the county, just as you would
have done had the question not been raised.
How was the question put in this form The
answer is easily given. We surrendered the
principle of Representations, because of our ina
bility to obsain full expression of temperance
sentiment through ii; and we made choice
of the principle of instruction, because this
afforded us, under the circumstances of the
case the means of massing the temperance sem
liment of the county, and making it effective
for our purpose. Having determined upon this
policy the Alliance, through its committee,
approached the Executive Committees with
proposition and request. The proposition
was to take the Temperance question out of
the party politics of the county; the request
was to be allowed the imprint of "For Local
Option" and Against Local Option" on all the
tickets to be used in the Fall election. Both
parties agreed to the arrangement WeneXt APP
preached the candidates for the Legislature of
both parties, with two questions as follows:

Republican Reform not the Kind that
Is Wanted.

Our willy adversares know that they are
in a small minority in Hartford county, and
can never succeed in carrying an election ex-
cept by splitting the Democratic vote, and il
there were two Democratic tickets in the
field they might hope to divide our vote and
run in between the two. But when the
question is between Democrats and Republi-
cahs, we can not doubt that Democratic vo.
tiers will stand true to their own party and
vote for their own candidates The people
of Hartford have had some experience of Re.
publicanism, and have had enough of it,
They will never look to that party for re-
trenchment or reform, or for the redress Of
any grievance in the State or in the
general government. Wherever they have
had control fraud and corruption and arbi
trary disregard of every principle of good
government has been the order of the day.
Such reforms as are needed we intend tc
secure, by and through the Democratic party
within the party lines on Democratic prin
ciples and by Democratic votes.
