Keep it Before The People.

Keep it before the people that not more
than three or four states of the Union has a
lower tax-rate than Maryland; that none has
a better financial standing; that her 1855
bonds brought premium in the financial
markets; that Carroll county has the lowest
tax-rate of any county in the State, and that
it is from sirteen tOftty-ttc0 cents tOwer than
in tie counties under Republican rule. Keep
it before the people that the county debt has
been reduced more than $26,0 in the last
four years; that the rate of interest on the
deot has been reduced from six to five per
cent that this was accomplished without in
crease in the levy, but that the levy has been
lessened that about SIG, 900 have been spent
for large bridges for the public safety and
convenience, and very large sum for a
number of smaller bridges that more than
thirteen of the forty-nine cents levied on the
500 goes to support public schools in order
that the poor as well as the rich can educate
their children.
Keep it before the people that the last Re
publican board of County Commissioners
levied forty-two cents for county purposes, and
not cent of it was for public schools. For
county purposes the Democrats levy 35a
cents-or y cents less than the Republicans
levied. The Democrats have more roads and
bridges to keep up, and court and other ex,
penses are greater. The Republicans, too
left big debt, and the treasury empty
Keep these facts before the people, and they
will see to it that the excellent management
of state and county affairs are continued.

Ingratitude to the Faithful Voters.

The Republican bosses in Westminster are
much exercised over articles in this paper
concerning their ingratitude to the colored
voters. They fear that the plain and incon-
trovertible facts regarding their treatment OF
the five hundred certain and reliable voters
will cause them to pause and consider and
probably demand, in return for their support,
due recognition in the way of honors and
Offices. When the ADVOCATE last year
warned the people that the success of the
Republican Judiciary ticket would result in
the appointment of colored bailitfs to the
courts and the selection of colored jurors, the
ADVOCATE did not sanction any such proceed
ing, but it was thought that gratitude to the
cOlored voters for their united and unwaver-
ing support for thirteen years would have
prompted the white Republicans, when op-
portunity offered, to give them recognition.
But, it appears, if gratitude the bosses have,
it takes no substantial form. Neither has
gratitude been shown to the many faithful
white Republicans who have supported the
Republican cause since the organization OF
the party. A Democrat, who voted Re
publican ticket once, is exalted above them
and holds place as bailiff at $3.50 per day.
The duties of this position are very simple,
so much so anybody can fill it. Yet, not a
colored man was thought of for it; not a
MANNED or crippled ex-soldier, nor any OF
the others who have been firm supporters Of
the party was thought of to fill it. The rem
edy is plain-turn out the bosses, who run
the party for themselves and friends, regard
less of those who do the voting.
The Democratic advocate., 1883-09-15
Registration.

There seems to be very large registration
throughout the state, which is evidence that
the Democratic party is alive to the issues
this year. In Baltimore county 1848 persons
were registered last week, and only 81
were colored. The Democratic party was very
far behind in the poll made last year, and the
addition of the names of nearly two thousand
white voters to the registration lists will ena-
BILE the party there to give its usual majority
of eighteen hundred or two thousand. In
Anne Arundel about 600 persons were regis
tered, 103 of them in Annapolis. In that
county last fall the Democrats were not reg
istered, and Republican judge was elected
in this district. Let the Democrats of Car
roll follow the example of the Democrats
elsewhere, and have the full party strength
registered. The registers of voters will sit
again on Tuesday and Wednesday, October
Ind and 3rd, which will be the last opportu-
nifty for registering this year. Those not
registered then cannot vote in November
We learn that there are Democrats in every
district not registered, and it is important that
they should be. Let the active workers in
in each district see to this work at once. We
must have grand victory in November.
The Democratic advocate., 1883-09-15
Maryland Politics.

''We must have no color line, but vote as
Republicans is what the Republican bosses
tell the colored voter at election time; but
when offices are to be distributed at the
Custom House the color line is distinctly
drawn, and the colored man who does the
voting for the Republican party is told to call
for his office sin the sweet bye-and-bye."
The Democrats Of Howard, st. Mary's,
Kent, Caroline and Worcester have declared
against the denomination of Gov Hamilton.
Queen Anne's county has chosen delegates
for McKenney for Governor. Gov. Hamilton
carried his own county by close shave. In
six districts there were no contests. A fight
was made in fourteen, Hamilton carrying
seven and the opposition seven. The vote
was so close in three districts that change
of eight votes would have given them to Ham
ilton's opponents and made the convention a
tie. The Governor made an active personal
canvas, and yet barely pulled through.
A ''Halfbreed'' Republican, in an inter
view reported in the Day of Tuesday last
shows that the Stalwarts, as represented by
Creswell & Co., are still for war, and are now
scheming to control the delegation to the next
national convention. Creswell and Geary
head the rival factions.
The Democratic advocate., 1883-09-15
CreSWell's Little Game.

The eloquent posing and magnanimous
utterings of Mr.. John Creswell before the Re-
publican convention in Cecil county has been
heralded with loud blast to the world. He
declared that he was not in the fight for the
Z. S. Senatorship. He had gained has point
in nominating his candidates for the Legisla
ture. His next aim is to elect them. The
Democrat, published in the would-be Senator S
own county, very pointedly remarks:
''Mr. Creswell as a candidate would be a
milestone about the neck of the ticket Mr.
Creswell ''out of the fight might lead some
deluded Halfbreeds to swallow his Legislative
ticket, who, if they believe it would promote
his cause, would never gulp the pill. Hence
that "eloquence, and that 'magnanimity."
If there be any seekers of green cheese in the
face of the moon, who believe that the Stall
wart champion will be magnanimous enough
to decline the Senatorship if rendered, let
them recall who it was in the name of Blaine
sought personal compliment and then turned
the eounty'S vote over to the third -termer.
The Alabama claims now pay eight thousand
dollars year to encourage magnanimity, but
it is just possible that the Alabama claims
may finally be settled and then the Senator
ship would beat magnanimity ''all hollow

Judge Bale, the Republican nominee for
state senator, has been twice elected to Office
in this county. He, no doubt, will again be
around to see his Democratic friends to solicit
their aid Whilst to vote for political op-
ponent is not the proper way to repay kind
ness, it must be apparent to all Democrats
friendly to Judge Bale that twice voting for
him should cancel all obligations in that line.
If Judge Bale should be elected to the state
senate, he will be twice called upon to vote
for United States Senator-during the ses-
sion of 1884 and the session of 1886. When
Judge Bale approaches Democrat and So
licits his vote, let the Democrat ask him if he
will vote for Democrats for United States
Senators. He will say no, of course; then
then let the Democrat say no.

Damage by Frost.

There was heavy frost near Milwaukee
Sunday night, and corn on the lowlands was
killed. Buckwheat suffered, and the whole
cucumber industry was ruined. The loss in
this enterprise alone is placed at S50,000.
Cucumbers are made a speciality by many
farmers in Milwaukee county because of the
large pickle factory at Wauwatosa. A dis
patch from Caldwell Prairie states that there
were light frosts on Friday and Saturday
nights, and a heavy one on Sunday night,
which did great damage.
The recent frosts did but little damage in
the vicinity of Huron, Dakota. The frost was
slight at Des Moines and Dubuqe, Iowa. and
but little damage was done to corn. Frost is
reported generally throughout Ohio, Indiana
and kentucky Saturday and Sunday morn
ings. All the tobacco in kentucky low
grounds is reported ruined.
Wholesale leaf tobacco dealers at Elmira,
n. Y, say the tobacco crop within ID miles
of that city was damaged $4,000 by frost
Sunday night. Buckwheat and corn were
also damaged.
Advices from Rock Island, H., say the frost
Sunday night did great damage to the crops
on lowlands.
Severe damage to the corn in the lowlands
is reported from Marshall county and Daven-
port, Iowa. The heavy frosts Of Saturday
and Sunday nights almost destroyed the corn
crop in the vicinity of jackson, Mich.
Little or no damage was done in Kansas
and Nebraska.
The Democratic advocate., 1883-09-15
Injury to Corn by Frost.

Reports to the department of agriculture at
Washington show that the recent frosts have
damaged corn north of the 40th parallel.
The injury in Ohio is placed at 20 per cent,
in Indiana at from 10 to 20 in the northern
section, and in the middle belt. The loss
is heavy in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and
there is some injury in New York and Penn
sylvania. 1t is thought the frosts have re-
duced the general average of the corn crop
below so. The crop is nearly everywhere
late. The oat crop averages 90 and potatoes
95. The Chicago Farmers Review reports
serious injury to the late corn by frosts in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, northern and north
eastern Iowa, northern Illinois and Indiana.
1t estimates the injury in the territory named
at 25 per cent. of the crop. Tobacco, hops,
tomatoes and grapes, it says, were badly
damaged. In Kansas, Nebraska, northern
and Western Iowa, southern Illinois and In
diana no material injury is reported.

Colored Voters at Raine's Hall.

From the Baltimore 4merica4 Of Tuesday.
A mass meeting of the Independent Colored
Republicans was held at Raine's Hall last
evening, and was pretty well attended. John
II. Murphy was elected president, and W. H.
Vodery and B. c. Z. Smith secretaries. Mr.
Murphy was the first speaker, and spoke in
relation to the charges made that this indie
pendent movement was engineered by the
Democrats. He characterized any such
charges as lies. He said this movement was
in the interest of the colored people, and not
in favor of either the Republican or Demo
cratic parties. He spoke of the grievances
of the colored people in not having a fair
representation in political offices, and in not
having colored teachers in colored schools.
and he also spoke against the bastardy act.
1. Thomas Fortune, editor of the New York
Globe, was the next speaker. He said the
colored people since 1876 have lived on prom
ises. He upbraided the Republican party for
its poor return for the votes and labors of the
colored people. He claimed allegiance to
neither the Republican party nor the Democ-
racy.
