Democrats. Read and Heed.


The election of the Democratic State ticket
is a foregone conclusion. The ability of the
Democratic nominees and the purity of their
characters, as compared with ability, charac-
ter and unstableness of the Republican can
didates, settle it. Still the Democrats must
not relax their efforts. We must give Repub-
licanism crushing blow in Maryland this
year. The Democracy of the state must catch
step and join the great army of Democracy of
the Union that is marching to victory in No
vember and that will sweep the country in
1884.
We must elect Democratic legislature
also. Gov McLane will be able to accom-
plish but little if he has a legislature hostile
to his policy. 1t will be no reflection upon
his predecessors, of any party, to say that he
will be the ablest governor Maryland has had
for quarter of century, and his admins
tration will prove it, if he has legislature in
accord with him. Let Democrats see to it
that our candidates for Senator and Delegates
are elected.
Upon the next Legislature will devolve the
duty of electing a United States Senator to
succeed Senator Groome The United States
Senate is very close, and Marylands Senator
to be chosen next winter may decide the ma
iority. When Democratic President takes
his seat on the 4th of March, 1885, he should
have Senate in accord that he may reform
the government.
The Senator from Carroll will be called
upon to vote for two United States Senator'S
in 1884 and in 1886, and the election of 7.
Herbert Shriver should be secured by all
means. He is gentleman who has served
two terms in the House of Delegates, and is
experienced as legislator. He is a gentle
man also of education, character, and good
business publications, and is well-equipped to
represent the county in the Senate. If he
receives the Democratic vote he will undoubt-
edly be elected. We cannot help believe
that, owing to the great issues at stake, he will
be elected Judge Bale deserves nothing al
the hands of the Democrats. If elected he
would hamper Gov. McLane's administration
and obstruct by his votes his policy. He
would also vote for Republicans for United
States Senator's. Ifelected he must be chosen
by Democratic votes, and he would go tc
Annapolis and Uote against the Democratic
party on eve,y party measure, and cote Ggains
Democrats for United States Senators.

John Smith, the colored man who murder
ed Josiah Harden at Elkins, in Garrett county,
last spring, escaped from Jail at Oakland, on
Thursday afternoon about 5 o'clock. He
called the taller into his cell, and the iaileI
very foolishly went when Smith knocked him
down, took a Ratchet and broke the chain
which held him to the floor, locked the jailel
up and escaped with his shackles on. Every
effort is being made to recapture him. Smith
is desperate fellow. He was only a short
while since convicted of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to be hanged.
Capt John s. Wise published letter in
the Ricmond Wing few days ago in which
he stated that he had visited numerous points
in the State in hopes ofengaging in political
debate with Mr.. Holmes Conrad, of Winches-
ter, one of the ablest men in the rauks OF
the Virginia Democracy. 1t seems now that
Capt Wise is to be accommodated, as Mr..
Conrad has written letter announcing his
purpose to meet Wise in discussion at Louisa
Court House October s. 1t will be a lively
affair, as both men are eloquent and agrees
sive.
The St. Mary's Beacon says that two chill
dren, one an adopted child of Judge Milburn,
the other son of John Cajay, residing in the
St Ingoes' section of our county, have been
abducted by dredgers. The children, who
are about eight years old, were playing on the
shore, and were enticed on board the dredge
boat and carried off. The abduction has
created much excitement wherever known,
and will add considerably to the already
deep seated dislike and distrust with which
the people regard the dredging fraternity.
James Williams, eolored, who was arrested
last week charged with robbing the postofiice
at Glyndon, Baltimore county, was commit
ted for the United States Court by Com
missioner Rogers on Thursday. Thirty-two
dollars in small money was found on him,
with several articles of clothing, &c. which
were recognized by clerk in the store con.
nected with the postoffice. Williams told
the commissioner he was asleep near the
postoffice, when two men awoke him and
gave him the money and clothing.

Ohio and Iowa elect state officers next
Tuesday. These states have cast their cleo
toral votes for every Republican presidential
ticket from Lincoln to the present time, but
the Republicans there will not have much
majority to brag on after the returns are all
in, if they are not beaten in both states.

Washington A. Smith, Republican nominee
for Comptroller, has been everything by turns
and nothing long. He was elected member
of the House of Delegates as a Whigin 1850,
and was defeated as Democrat for the same
position in 1859. He was Democrat in
1864, 1865, 1867 and 1871. He was opposed
to the Democratic presidential ticket in 1872.
In 1876 he was for Tilden and Hendricks, and
the next year was the Republican nominee
for state senator. In 1880 he was defeated for
Congress as a Republican.

Moral and Immoral Newspapers.

A Philadelphia clergyman publishes the
following truthful sentiments concerning the
press: "When asked what consider next to
the ministry the greatest agency for good in
this country always answer, the decent press.
When asked what is the devils best assistant
| answer the immoral newspaper. | find a
large majority of my parishioners agree with
me, for since have labored here many who
formerly cared but little as to the character of
the paper they took in their families now re-
fuse to subscribe for any, however full of news
it may be, that is not rigidly respectable. |
feel, accordingly, that they are united with
me in agreeing that decent newspaper is a
great moral helper and an unclean newspaper
a great moral hindrance.

Hon. Richard II. Merrick's Views

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore San says Richard T. Merrick, in
conversation on the subject of Maryland poll
ties said. from the time of the nomination oil
Mr.. McLane he had felt no doubt whatever as
to the triumphant election of the Democratic
State ticket, and the statement which had
found its way into print that he had unfavora-
bly criticised the ticket was entirely erroneous.
He said he had known Mr.. McLane fora long
time, and he spoke in the highest terms OF
him as a man of character and ability, and
decidedly one of the best men that could have
been nominated for the office of Governor.
Mr.. Merrick said that he would very much
like to take part in the campaign in Maryland
but was apprehensive that his business en-
gagements would not permit him to do so.

Figures Tell.

In st. Mary's county, where Republicans
have CONTROL the tax rate for county purposes
is 101 cents on the 500. In Democratic
Carroll it is 40 cents. A tax payer worth
$4,000 in ST. Mary's county has to pay SlO1
taxes for county purposes. In Carroll his
taxes would be but $40. In Republican Fred
erick, the lowest taxed of the Republican
counties, his taxes would be $65, or SIG
more than in Carroll. Taxpayers, don't
these figures prompt you to vote for the Demo
cratic candidates for commissioners as mat
ter of business?

Hon. Ferdinand C. Latrobe was nominated
for Mayor of Baltimore by the Democrats of
that city on Thursday. He had no opposition
and received about twenty-one of the twenty
four thousand votes cast. Baltimore never
had better Mayor than Latrobe and he

A Kansas City Mo- dispatch says not a
little excitement has been caused in that city
by the reported discovery of some 100000 in
an old can buried near the home of the Ben
ders, the family of murderers, whose horrible
butchery of travellers was exposed some years
ago. After the fight of the Bender family
curiosity seekers focked to their home in
Cherryvale, and were literally carrying 1t
away piecemeal, when Mr.. Murphy pur-
chased it and took up his residence therein.
Three or four weeks ago Mr. Murphy began
digging up the ground around his house, SO
as to make vault, and while doing so un-

HELENA, ARK.
Rain Badly Needed-COnditfOn OF the
Cotton Crop.

From an Appeal Correspondents
HELENA, July 18.-II is very warm and
dry, needing rain very much. Ii we do not
get rain soon both the cotton and corn crops
will fall considerably behind that OF last
year. / made a visit, 10 company with Mr..
John King, TO his place on Monday las', and
looked through his crop, aud do not think,
with u good season from now on, that he will
make a half crop. We have had no rain
siuce last Sunday one week ago, which is
having a serious effect, but farmers generally
seem not to be disturbed about it, for they
think the cotton is small and has q COED
color and there is q chance for ii 10 come
out, which l think is a mistaken ides. II is
true cotton has a good color, but 1t is de-
6cient in stalx and hight, and blooming
near the top on a number of plants. A great
many farmers have just gotten through
breaking out middles and nave a great deal
of grass to contend with. My experience is
that at this time Of the year cotton should
be Iapping, 60 as to shade The ground and
keep the moisture necessary to give a regu-
lar growth to the plant. Then in this con-
dition the prospect ia for a large crop. This
is not the case in this section OF country.
Last year, about the Goth of August, 1 Wis
i ed the same neighborhood, and was aston
ished to see such fine crops. The difference
between my visits Of last year and this is one
month and four days. 1 can safely say that
if the present crop had the month and four
days growth now it would fall short of the
crop Of last year. From what l can learn,
the whole cotton belt has had too much rain
and cold weather to make a full crop; now
that it has turned dry the plant will quickly
be injured; then again, If We should have
dry weather for a week or ten days, and Their
heavy rain, there will be danger of the plant
s~calding and blight setiiog in. l have no.
| ticed some blight already. R. o. M.
