What the Republicans Intend to DO II
Successful

Maryland is, beyond all doubt, Demo-
cratic State, and the unanimity with which
the Democratic State Convention has nomi-
mated our ticket gives assurance that it will
receive, rs it so well deserves the cordial and
united support of every good and true Dem
ocrat in the State
Butif anything were wanted TO ensure the
united support of our ticket by all good
Democrats it is to be found in the official an.
nouncement of the Republicans that they in
tend, if successful, to restore what they call
the "aoise legislation" by which the people of
Maryland were oppressed while the State
was under Republican rule.
At the late meeting of the Republican
State Convention, held in Baltimore on the
9th of September, MIR. Stockbridge. the
Chairman of the convention, made it his
chief charge against the Democratic party
that it had "swept from the statute books the
aoise legislation which their Republican prede-
cessors had enacted-the plain meaning of
which is, that the success of the Republican
party at our next election would be followed
by the re. enactment of those laws which dis
franchiscd our best citizens and disgraced
our State while it was under Republican
rule.
The people of Maryland want no more OF
such wise legislation" nor of the corrupt
and vicious practices ofthe Republican party;
and in face of the threatened danger no good
Democrat can fail to give cordial support
to our ticket. 1t is to the Democratic party
alone that we can safely look tor that wise
legislation which will secure the equal rights
of all

The Rev J, Newman, of Cambridge, Illinois,
preached in Grace Memorial p. f. Church, OAR
lington, last Sunday morning and night. His dis
course was touching and interesting, stamping
him as a young man of more than ordinary abili-
ty. The stole he had on differed from that usual
~ worn by Episcopal ministers, being of deep
red color, with red and yellow fringe, and yellow
crosses at the ends and back of the neck. Mr.
Newman is the guest of Dr. j. Ward Scott. He
has recently returned to this country from Il trip
to his former home in England.
MORE RAILROAD TALK.
1t is reported that the Pennsylvania Railroad
authorities are talking of building branch road
from Aberdeen to Chenille, to take in the can
ming country, in opposition to the b. so. road
If they do they will open up one of the finest re-
gions in the State.
The canning business is nearly at an end The
pack is far short of that last year and packers
expect to realize better prices than in 1882.
Services at Grace Memorial Church will be nj

Letter from ChurchvilIe.

THE ROADS IMPROVING.
We do not often see any notice in your paper
from this precinct. Perhaps there is not much
to report. We may bea very quiet people. with
no unusual stir in our community. Still, we are
not stagnant. Any one, for instance who remem-
bers our roads, fifteen years ago. who will travel
over them now will notice great improvement.
Why, have seen carriages stuck in red clay mud,
for half hour at a time, between our small viii
lage and the corner below Holy Trinity,Chureh-
and, Oh the great splotches of red mud which
were the wheels, when they got QUIT of the
depths some of it carried all the way to Bel Air on
the hubs. Well you will not be so treated now
That piece of road is very well macadamzed, and ,
before long. we will have you coming down just
for the pleasure of ride over It, Our roads are all
improved, and improving. How could it be other
wise, with Woolsey, and a Barnes, and Loeb
airy, and Hays. to look after such matters There
due time The old Roman, Cpsarean, roads were
not built in day; no more can Churchville roads
be.
Our stores provide us with all the needful things
of life. We have four within easy reach-one
large one, one nearly as large, one smaller one,
you want--and, if they happen to be lust out"
they will have it "to-morrow. and that teaches
patience, and that is a most admirable quality.
BAKERY.
We had a bakery near by but it Turned downa
few days ago. Still, like the old swing in the Gel
lar, where the rope is gone, but the spikes are
still there" the bake house is gone, but the oven
is still there. and bread too.
OTHER BUSINESS PLACES.
We have harness shop also, and a carriage re-
pository, with shops appended and the enterpris-
to the fair, with old vehicles and harness, stop,
and fit out with new ones and If they happen to
be Just out" will have them tomorrow,
Then there is a wheelwrght shop and blacksmith
shop-where you can have a O. Il s. wagon put

The statement in former letter that l005O0
cans had been put up in one day at Dr. Z. A.
RutIedge & Bros canning house was mistake
that any one familiar with the business might
readily have corrected without becoming unduly
excited and rushing INTO print. The number pat
up was 1880. The supertluous figure was insert
ed accidentally.
A daughter of Mr.. VIM. Kelly died last Friday
night, of spinal affection. The interment WAS
at Long Green Church, on Monday. The funeral
was largely attended.
Mr.. O. II. Scarf has one of the best fields of corn
in this district. 1t is so uniform and good that he
will have scarcely two bushels of nubbins on the
entire field.
Chenworth Bros. have about 500 bushels of to-
matoes ready for canning, and will lose many of
them for want of cans. They have packed l,5OO
cases since they were burned out.

severely injured his arm, is recovering very slow

LOCAL OPTION IN BALTIMORE COUNTY,
The Baltimore county Democratic conven-
ton passed Il resolution, that the Democratic
party at the coming November election have
printed upon their tickets the words "For
Local Option and against Local Option" and
that if n majority of the voters are in favor of
local option, then the members of the Legis-
lature, without pledging themselves further
be instructed to use their efforts TO HAYES bill
passed submitting the question to the people,
provided the Republican executive commit
tee agrees to do the same.
When the Republican executive committee
met ut Towsontown on Tuesday the resOlu-
ton was presented to them but was rejected.
They were willing vote should beAyaken
on local option, but would not instruct the
delegates to the Legislature to bring IA a
local option bill. Local option is therefore
indefinitely postponed in Baltimore county,
and for this the Republicans are respo nsible.

The Republican Platform.

The best that could be done by the Repub-
lican State convention, in the direction of n
platform, was to rehash at extended length
utterances totally at variance with the prac-
tices oftheir party wherever in power, and
contradictory of the political records of
their nominees. 1t was an abortve attempt
to set too many eggs under the poor old Re-
publican hen, and it is impossible for her to
spread herself sufficiently to cover them.-
And after all that was written and set out at
length in this cumbersome and wordy docu-
mcnt and accepted by the Republican con-
vention, their chief standard-bcare Mr.. Hol-
ton, had in his speech of acceptance, no other
comment or endorsement to make beyond
q recognition of the fact that what the peo-
pie of Maryland wanted was the Democratic
platform carried0M Are the voters of Mary
land willing to trust Mr.. Holton to carry out
principles of government totally at variance
with his life record, as shown by Republ-
cans themselves?

The Meas, an Independent newspaper,
published at Woodberry, Baltimore county,
has raised the Democratic flag and gives an
earnest support to the Democratic candidates.
In stirring editorial last week it contrasts
thetax rate in Baltimore county under Dem
ocratic rule with that of Republican counties,
showing that the latter all have a high rate
of taxation. 1t adds
Why then this great difference? 1t lies in
nutshell. The Democratic party has for Its
fundamental principle that living idea "Of the
greatest good to the greatest NUMBER" whilst
the radical party acts out the principle ''of
government of the many for the benefit of the
few" Hence, as Il natural result, the Demo-
cratic party seeks continually to have low taxes,
economical expenditures, protection of the
laborng mans interests, equal rights TO all
poor or rich. No class legislation. No money
aristocracy. Same laws for the rich as for the
poor man. Opposition to monopolies and cor
porations. The radical party oppose all this
They advocate Capitalization, the putting all
power in the hands of the few to crush out the
life of the poor man.

A Republican Campaign Bubble Prick
cd

TO Tie Editor Of Tie Agls:
DEAR SIR: The following paragraph, from
the Bel Air Times. is not true:
In the 9TH district few months ago Mr.. Joshua
c. Smith, now the Republican candidate for Com
missioner in that district, gave SlOO00 out oil his
own pocket to have some roads up there put in
soma kind of decent condition for travel.
The facts are these On the Nth of last May
Mr. Smith, representing Conowingo Bridge Com
pany and the public, petitioned the Commission
ers for an appropriation to repair Conowingo Hill,
promising that the parties interested would give
800 If the county would levy the same amount
The Commissioners complied with his request and
upon his solicitation Owen Murphy, one of his
employees, was appointed to do the work. A week
or two afterwards Mr.. Murphy applied to me for
advice as to the best method of mending the hill
and said he intended to do the work at once
Nearly three months afterwards complaints were
made to me that the work had not been done. l
at once went to see Murphy, who told me that the
Bridge Company. which had agreed to give $75 of
the 800 promised, had refused to ratify Mr.
Smiths arrangement and therefore no work had
been done Messrs. John Daughterty and X. B.
Mccoy then applied to the Commissioners to have
800 spent on this road, which they granted, and
/ was order ed to do the work. ] began ii inme-
datey and have expended 800 in repairing the
road. but was compelled to stop because all the
hands went to the canning houses. The part done
is i'm good condition and Mr.. Smith use it con-
stantly The commissioners have ordered me to
put the hill in good travelling condition and in
tend to do 1t. WIN. =. MCCANN,
