The Campaign in Pennsylvania.
The Uninterrupted Current of Opposition
to the Republicans-They Must Go.

HARRISBURG, Oct. 30.-Pennsylvania feels
the general impulse of the whole country to
throw off the Republican corruptonists
While it is true that the Ring leaders in this
State seemed to be making rather hopeful
fight up to the time of the Ohio election, their
lookout Mt present is anything but bright.
Public sentiment has changed greatly in the
last few weeks; the Democrats have stiffened
up and delivered regular succession of tell
ing blows all along the line, while the activity
on the part of the Stalwarts, if apparently
greater toward the close of the campaign, IS
spasmodic, unsteady, andineffective. The true
issues involved in this singular struggle fur
nish no reason for Pennsylvanians to attempt
to stem the tide which has set in so tremen-
dously throughout the rest of the country.
1t is now clear to the people that the fight
against apportionment according to the plain
text of the Constitution, which has been so
ably and so adroitly made by Senator Cooper
and his twenty-nine Republican Senators, has
no object on earth but the reelection of Mr..
Cameron to the United States Senate. But
the Republican voters do not all want Mr..
Cameron reelected, and they will not come to
the polls to accomplish any such purpose.
Mr.. Cooper, with his mask down, is not dam
gerous.
Moreover, the issue with reference to the
Ring methods of managing the State Treas
ury has assumed IN the later stages Oh the can
vass prominence which must prove very dis
astrous to the Republicans. The Constitu
ton requires all moneys in the general fund
not required for current expenses to be put
over into the Sinking Fund. The law fixes
the reserve at $500, 900, and the Democratic
Humes act, passed at the regular session, di-
reefs all beyond this reserve to be invested In
United States bonds and the interest credited
to the State.
But the Republican Auditor General and
State Treasurer majority OF the Commits
sioners of the Sinking Fund-decline TO exc
cute this law, and, on the contrary, continue
the old Ring practice of keeping millions of
public money on deposit with favorite banks,
yielding no penny of interest to the State, but
enriching Ring politicians and swelling cam
paign corruption funds This issue ought to
be fatal to the machine candidates, and no
doubt it will be.
Chairman Cooper has made faint and al
most pitiful effort to introduce the so-called
tariff issue into the campaign. But it is too
transparent an imitation of poor Charley
Fosters detected tricks and exploded frauds
to count for anything at all. With Samuel }:
Randall and William A. Wallace at the head
of their well dressed columns, the Democrats
have little to fear from any hypocritical cutlery
the Ring Republicans may get up about the
tariff.
The chances are all in favor of Pennsylvania
voting Democratic this fall as she did last.
The Republican party must go. The Rlngs
must go. The bosses must go.

Holton's Speech.

The speech (?) of Hart B. Holton made
here on Monday of last week, was correctly
reported in the ADVOCATE last Saturday. The
report comprised almost his entire speech.
We make this announcement because, as his
speech was so short and unimportant, some
readers thought it was only partially reported
We told our readers several weeks ago that
Holton could not speak, and hadn't the abili-
ty to prepare a speech. He knows nothing
to say. Has no ideas of governnent-no
ideas of the needs of the times what changes
in our laws are necessary, and is the poorest
candidate in intellect ever presented to the
people for Governor. 1t is piece of impu-
dence for such a man to aspire to the position,
and an insult to the intelligence of the people
for the Republican party to nominate him.
He has money, and his money secured him
the nomination, for the party hoped by its use
to win. He has cut such sorry figure when
appearing in public that even his money can't
save him from defeat.

Keep it Before the People.


Keep it before the people that not more
than three or four states of the Union have a
lower tax-rate than Maryland; that none has
a better financial standing; that her 1865
bonds brought a premium in the financial
markets; that Carroll county has the lowest
tax-rate of any county in the State, and thai
it is from sixteen to ffty.t,co cents to'csr than
an tile counties under Republican rule. KeeI
it before the people that the county debt ha:
been reduced more than S26, 900 in the las
four years; that the rate of interest on the
debt has been reduced from six to five pei
cent; that this was accomplished without in
crease in the levy, but that the levy has beer
lessened that about SIG, 900 have been spent
for large bridges for the public safety and
convenience, and very large sum for 8
number of smaller bridges that more thar
thirteen of the forty cents levied on the
500 goes to support public schools in order
that the poor as we'll as the rich can educate
their children.
Keep it before the people that the last Re
publican board of County Commissioners
levied forty cents for county purposes, and
not cent of it was for public schools Fol
county purposes the Democrats levy 355 cents
or 81 cents less than the Republicans. levied
The Democrats have more roads and bridges
to keep up, aud court and other expenses are
greater. The Republicans, too, left a bic
debt, and the treasury empty. Keep these
facts before the people, and they will see tot
that the excellent management of state and
county affairs are continued.

OTHER EFETINGs,
IL Hours a Day for workingmen

Holton, the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor, Notwithstanding that his factory
workingman'' sham and fraud has been ex-
posed, is still posing as "workingman. !"
He was so INTRODUCED by an enthusiastic mas
ter of ceremonies at the Republican meeting
here on Monday night of last week. His own
record, written by himself and published in
Scharf' S History, represents himself as high
flyer, a raiser of blooded stock and living in
ease and comfort. His record-not by him
self, but oficial-when occupying seat in
the Maryland Senate to which he was not
elected, shows that he was no frie nd to work
ingmen. He there fought bill to reduce the
hours of labor from eIeren to ten hours day,
and opposed amendments making such a
change for minors working in factories Ac-
ton was STAYED off, by dilatory motions Of all
sorts, until the last day, and then it was found
that the bill had been stolen from the files and
eleven hours continued to be days labor
until Democratic Legislature reduced the

Close of the Campaign.

Democrats, the time for argument is
past. II has been shown you that the
government of Maryland, under Democrat
ic control, has been economically and wise
" administered. Peace and prosperity
reign, the state credit is high, and taxation
is lower than in all other states, with few
exceptions.
In Carroll the record is equally good.
With tax lower than any other county
in the state, we have as good schools,
roads, bridges and as good government as
in any other, and far better that in most
of them. The countys credit is good, five
per cent. bonds being at premium, and
the county debt is being reduced at the
rate of over six thousand dollars annually.
1t has been shown you that the next
Senator from this county may decide
whether the Maryland Senate will be Kept
under Democratic control, or whether it
shall pass into the hands of the Republic
cans, who would then hamper the Govern
or in his appointments and labor to defeat
T....,..,., ,,,rae,,roe
1t has been shown you that it is very
essential that our candidates for Senator
and Delegates be elected, in order that IA
Democrat may be chosen for United
States Senator; that our candidates for
County Commissioners be elected also, and
that the whole ticket should triumph.
You have been told of the bearing of
the contest next Tuesday, November 6,
upon the Presidential election next year,
and urged to do your duty if you desire
that Democratic principles shall prevail.
The matter is now in your hands for de
cision You comprise the majority of the
voters of the county, and it rests with you
whether you viii have Democratic govern
msnt, or whether you will vote the Repub-
lican party in power and go back to the
days of 1861, when you were driven
from the polls and not allowed to vote,
and when indignities and outrages were
heaped upon you.
We shall look for good report from
every district Go to the polls early, and
take your Democratic neighbors with you.
A full vote means a grand victory.

The State Campaign.

very active and vigorous campaign is
being carried ON by the Democrats i'll Queen
Anne's county. Meetings are being held at
various places and addresses made by the To-
cal orators. A large and enthusiastic meet
ing was held at Sudlersville Saturday after
noon at which Hon. Thos. j. Heating, John
B. Brown, Col. VIM. Henry Legg and W. Scott
Roberts spoke At night two meetings were
held, one at Crumpton and another at Peter $
Corner The meetings were well attended
and enthusiastic The dissatisfaction which
existed has been almost entirely overcome,
and the voters are falling into Ike and will
rally at the polls.
On the Importance of the Senate to the
Democrats, the Hagerstown Mail says: I'm
view of the close division of parties in the
senatorial branch of the general Assembly
so close, indeed. that single Senator may
decide the complexion of that body and ma
terially affect the whole current of legislation
during two sessions-the Importance of the
candidate on the ticket cannot be overestlmat-
ed, and we appeal to our Democratic friends
to give heed and attention to it. All appoint
ments of the Executive have to be sanctioned
by the Senate, and a Senate at variance with
the Executive would be something particular
ly TO he avoided.

Gain of 5000 Votes.

''There had been some carelessness in reg
istration last year, said Senator A. P. Cor
man at Odd Fellows Hall last Wednesday
night, shut when it was declared that the
Republicans expected to carry the state this
year, nearly every white man registered, ant
the gain to the Democratic party by the reg
istration this fall was about mine thousand. y
Mr.. German said he would give these figure:
to the Republicans, if they would do them
any good Democrats, Mr.. German knew
what he was talking about and it only re-
mains to get these voters to the polls. Carroll
must do her share, and we must respond to
the call for large Democratic majority.

To the Public.

The Sentinel of this week, we understand,
will copy from an extra edition of the Mary
land Republican of March, 1880, scurrilous
article written by George Cotton, whom the
Sentinel has time and again denounceda as one
of the most corrupt politicians in the state.
If what the Sentinel has hitherto said about
Mr.. Cotton be true, his unfriendliness to Mr.
Shriver, as evidenced by the article in ques-
ton, is the strongest proof that can be fur
nished that Mr.. Shriver never aided Mr. Col
ton in any of his alleged corrupt practices,
and the Sentinel, without intending to do so,
thus testifes to Mr.. Shriver's political virtue.
Bad papers, like bad men, are sometimes
made to serve good purposes.

ity. Such an one is David N. Henning, the
Democratic nominee. He has developed pc
culiar fitness for the position, and Carroll
county never had better one. He prose-
cutes people regardless of their social stand
ing. Wealth and position make no difference
in the conduct of his cases. If he believes
the accused guilty he prosecutes to the full
extent of the law. If it becomes apparent
that the accused is innocent, he frankly aban.
dons the case and saves money to the county.

THE DOCTORS MISTAKE.

Il
One of the old mistakes of the profession
was to think that there were no other ways of
curing disease except those which had been
haaded down from former times.
1t is not to be denied that the Doctors have
done great things for the world. But when
it comes right down to the real curing of dis
ease, it must be admitted that Browns Iron
Bitters has done enough to earn the generous
gratitude of this whole present generation,
including the medical profession. There are
no mysteries or secrets about the compound
ing of Browns Iron Bitters This prepare
ton of iron is the only preparation which will
not iniure teeth or stomach. In this it is
beyond comparison better than the other
preparations, which are misehievous and in
furious.
You need not fear mistake in trying
Browns Iron Bitters Your druggists has it.

safety, but with great advantage. nov

that the Republicans expected 10 carry the
state nearly every white man registered, and
the gain to the Democratic party by the reg
istration this year was about 9,000 He gave
the Republicans the benefit of these figures if
it would do them any good. He paid high
compliment to Senator Vanderford, and said
that he had heard the Republicans expected
to elect his successor. He paid high COM
pliment to Mr.. Shriyer, the candidate for
Senator, and urged all the Democrats to vote
for him. He said he had served in the Leg
islature with Mr.. Shriver, and though they
often differed as to men and measures, he
would say he was a conscientious and efficient
representative. He did not believe that any
Democrat who properly understood the situa-
ton would cut his ticket. The Maryland

party depended the rights and liberties of the

He said that Mr.. Shriver had worked and
voted for every measure of retrenchment and

efficient representative. Mr.. Shriver was en-
titled to and should receive every Democratic
