WESTMINSTER, September 10, 1888.
TO Richard Manning, Chairman Of the
Democratic Central Com. Of Carroll Co., Nd:
AT meeting of the County Temperance
Alliance for Carroll county, held at Carroll
Hall on the 10th inst, the undersigned were
appointed committee to wait upon the chair
man of the Central Committee of the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties, and respect
fully call their attention TO the third resolution
passed by said County Alliance Ia copy Of
which we herewith enclose), to request the
adoption, by the respective parties, of the
method therein indicated for ascertaining the
sense of the qualified voters of the county IN
respect to submitting the question of local
option law; also to request that there be an
accurate count of the votes cast, as provided
for in said resolution, the result to be made
known to the secretary of the alliance; and II
it shall appear, upon counting the tickets,
that a majority voted ''For submitting local
option, then such expression shall be deemed
sufficient instruction to our representatives IN
the Senate and House of Delegates to use
their endeavors to secure the passage OF such
a law, to be voted for at an election held Tor
that purpose.
Your assent to the propositions made will
relieve the subject of all political compiled
tons, and at the same time enable the people
to express themselves upon question In
which they feel growing and vital interest.
Very respectfully,
WIN. A WAMPLER.
j. W. Herring,
GEO. w. MATTHEWS,
REPLY.
Vim. A. Wampler, J. ". Herring and Geo.
". Ndtthelos- GENTLEMEN Your written
request to have the words ''For submitting
local option and Against submitting local
option printed on the Democratic tickets for
the ensuing election has been duly received
and carefully considered but we feel COM
PEELED to refuse compliance with your request
in this behalf for the reasons following, to wit
1st Because we are advised that we have no
authority in law to place said words upon our
tickets. 2nd. That if we were to do SO it might
vitiate and render nugatory the ballots upon
which said words were printed, and would re-
suit in a contested election, which the courts
would be called upon to decide. If their de-
cision should be adverse, it would entail upon
the people much trouble, and upon the county
the expense of another election. 3rd. Be-
cause the members of this committee were
chosen without consideration as to this ques-
ton which you have submitted for their &C
ton, and they are convinced that they would
be acting without authority in complying with
your request.
By order of the Committee.

about / o clock on Thursday night. His
account OF the accident as given to his wife,
is that a barrel Of -four in the wagon iostled
gainst the seat, and in endeavoring to right
it, while the wagon was in motion, found he
was going to fall, spoke to the horse and
reached for the rubber bar; the wagon
lurched causing him to miss the bar and fall
to the ground, striking on the back of his
neck, producing paralysis. He laid IN the

him. His remains were inferred at Winters
church on Sunday last, large number of rel
atives and friends being present. He leaves
