County Finances.


The Annual Statement Of the County
Commissioners, for the fiscal year ended
June 80, shows that the excellentmanagc-
ment of county affairs that has prevailed
for some years has been continued the past
year. Notwithstanding the increased ex-
penses for roads and bridges made necessa-
nv by heavy rains and floods, no increase
in the levy is required, and the rate for
this wear is FIFTY CENTS on the 500,
the LOWEST rate by TEN CENTS Of any
county in the state.
An examination of the Statement will
show that there were spent for roads and
small bridges S12, 965.05;
That ten large new bridges were erected
at cost Of 81, 49, %;
That eight new county roads were 10
Gated and opened;
That $4,000 were appropriated for
public schools, and $500 for new school
houses.
1t will also appear that the county debt
has been decreased By 50, 1000, and that the
total indebtedness of the county is but
$32 900, while the assets erceed the liabil-
tiles s6,319.53.
The same economical management con-
tinued few years longer will not only
show total extinguishment of the county
debt, but viii result in great Improvement
in county roads and bridges and the cree
ton and improvement of public school
houses and the elevation of the standard Of
the schools.
The Democratic party promised in 1879.
to correct whatever abuses existed and to
give the people of Carroll an economical
and efficient government. That promise
has been carried ont, and the party has
given A RENEWED PLEDGE for the
future by the denomination of Messrs.
SELBY, STONER and BENNETT for
County Commissioners.
No county in the state is better man
aged, and few have as good government.
Roads and bridges here will compare favor
ably with those elsewhere; appropriations
to schools are LIBERAL the poor and unfortu-
nate are well cared for; life, liberty and
property are secure, and We have every
blessing of government. This, too, 'oith
a tao rate loaoer than IN any other county
of the state.
Will the people vote for change?
Will they put inexperienced men in places
filled by experienced ones? Will they
change from certainty, to try ANGER
taiinty? We think not. They would not
act wisely if they did. Good government,
not individuals, is what the people are
most interested in.

A. H. Huber for Clerk.

1t has been asserted for three weeks or
more that, should Mr.. Stephan be elected
clerk, A. H. Huber, the Westminster post
master, would be the chief deputy and real
clerk.
This report is believed alike by Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, and has met with
no denial, of public character, and no
straightforward, ansequivocdI denial aoia
be made. IT CAN'T BE soUARELY MADEl
There are but two Republicans in Carroll
who can conduct the clerks Office
McKellip and A. Fl. Huber. Col. Nc
Kellip, of course, would not take subor-
dinate position, and that leaves Huber as
the only Republican with any knowledge
of the Office. He does not know much
about it; but with the assistance of the
court might manage to get along after a
fashion
Huber, too, was instrumental in getting
Stephan nominated. Under Col. McKellip
he would not have been invited to desk
in the clerks Office, hence his anxiety and
quiet work for Stephans nomination, and
his great activity to secure votes for him.
The Democrat or Republican who wants
Huber for clerk, will vote for Stephan.

Sherman and Foraker have changed
their tune since going to Virginia. In
Ohio and New York they spoke as though
the war was still going on, and both were
severe in denunciation of the Southern
people. In Virginia they both have not
only denied saying anything harsh that
they did say, but they are almost Exon
federates. They both decline to meet
Virginia orators on the stump, knowing
that their masks would be torn from them,
and their hideous forms exposed in the
presence of DETAINED and indignant people.
Both will be glad when their engagements
are concluded, and they can get out of the
state. The Democratic press and speakers
are throwing hot shot at them daily.

The Democratic Ring.

There is sorle talk smong Republicans
of a Democratic Ring They pretend it is
terrible conbin@.ion. Well, there is a
Ring, and it IS terrible combination. It
extends throughout the country, and is
terror to the Republican party. They
want it smashed and scattered, but it will
remain, and viii triumph at the polls next
Tuesday. 1t is composed, in Carroll, of
between three and four thousand Demo-
Gratis, and its mission is to put down the
Republican party and give the people good
government.
1t is the Ring that broke down Radical
ism in this state in 1867, restored the lib
erty of the people, enfranchised the citizens,
and made the courts nonPsrtisan. 1t is
the Ring that reduced the stste tax from
50 cents, under Republican rule, to Is 81.
It's the Ring that has reduced the debt
Of Carroll, contracted under Republican
rule, from $4,000 to S39,OO0
1t is the Ring that has made the taxes in
Carroll from Is to 624 cents loacer than
in any county under Republican control.
1t is the Ring that made the election
machinery partisan; that made the
school system bipartisan; that guaranteed
free ballot to every qualified voter, and
that guaranteed fair trial in the courts
1t is the Ring that elected Governors in
more than half of the states of the Union,
that cleared out the Republican majority
in the national House of Representatives,
and is about to gain control Of the Senate
also.
1t is the Ring that elected Cleveland
President, and it was the same Ring, with
Hon. A. P. German at its head, that, after
it was asccrtained that Cleveland was elect
ed. declared that Cleveland is elected, and
Cleveland will be inaugurated. "
1t was the Ring that prevented another
fraud such as was perpetrated in 1876,
when Tilden was defrauded.
It is the Ring that has broken up fraud
ulent army and navy contracts; that has
stopped fraudulent land grants; that has
broken up the whisky ring; that has driven
the cattle kings from the public lands, and
is the Ring that is engaged in reforming
the government from top to bottom.
Hail to the Ring-the great Democratic
party. The party that guarantees civil
and religious liberty to all; that guarantees
the same rights to naturalized foreigners as
to its own citizens, and protects them
abroad as we'll as at home; that fosters pub
lie education, enforces economy and honesty
in the public service, and is the party OF
the constitution and coeval with it.
The Ring begins with the constitution
and ends with it. That sacred instrument
is its guide, and its principles are founded
upon it. It numbers eyer four millions OF
voters, and is ever ready to give battle to
monopolists, overbearing corporations and
all that do not subscribe to the constitution
framed by the founders of this republic.

Have a Majority in Both Branches of
the City Council.
CONFUSION to the FUSION.

The municipal election in Baltimore on
Wednesday passed off SO quietly that a
stranger in the city would scarcely have
known an election was being held, There
were very few arrests, and only three for
attempting to vote illegally.
The contest was between the regular
Democrats and a combination of Dudes,
Pharisees, Mugwumps, Soreheads and Re-
publicans James Hodges was the Demo-
cratic nominee for Mayor, and Judge Geo.
VIM. Brown the candidate of the uaholy
combination Besides the Mayor, mem
bers of the City Council were voted for.
Hodges was elected by 2,283 majority.
The Democrats also elected thirteen of the
twenty members of the First Branch of the
City Council, and six of the ten Of the
Second Branch, giving them a majority of
six in the First Branch and two in the
Second.
The total vote of the city was 59,567,
against 60, 335 last year.
The victory is a great one, and on Tues
day next the Democrats will achieve a
greater one. Three cheers for the Balti-
more Democracy

Look Out for SANDERS.

As it has been the habit of the Repub
licans of Carroll to publish SANDERS in the
last issue of their organ before election,
when too late to furnish proof of their
falsity, we caution the public not to believe
any accusations against our candidates or
the Democratic party, and to believe no
denials of Republican bargains for office.
We are led to thus caution the people of
Carroll from intimations from Republicans
who are disguised with the manner in which
the so-called Republican ticket was selected,
and with the conduct of the campaign by
the bosses in control.

Why Democrats Should Elect the
Whole Ticket.

Democrats of Carroll the issues this cam
paign call for your best endeavors.
You should elect the Clerk, in order to
hold control of that part of the Circuit Court,
with its patronage of four or five deputies.
You should elect the Register, in order to
hold that important position in the Orphans
Court, with its patronage.
You should elect the Sheriff, in order to
hold that officer of the Circuit Court, who has
deputies to appoint and is oftentimes charged
with the selection ofjurors.
You should elect your legislative candidates,
because the next Legislature will have to elect
a United States Senator, Governor, Treasurer,
and two Police Commissioners for Baltimore.
You should elect your candidates for Coun-
ty Commissioners, in order that the excellent
management of county affairs may be contin-
ued, the county debt reduced, and taxes kept
to minimum point. Don't forget that the
rate in Carroll is from fifteen to sirty-tacO
cents Ioacer than an counties under Republican
rule. The Commissioners, too, have the APP
pointment of q constables, II tax collectors,
about 260 road supervisors and a Steward of
the Aims House.
You should elect the County Treasurer in
order to have Clerk and Treasurer in sym
pathy with the County Commissioners, and to
secure harmony of purpose and unity of ac-
ton.
You should elect the Surveyor, in order to
make clean sweep of the county, and allow
no break in the victory.
Every candidate was fairly nominated, and
is entitled to your support on party grounds.
All are competent, and entitled to your sup
port on that score. The welfare ofthe county
depends upon your action. The full Demo
cratic vote is demanded to overbalance Re-
publican counties on the state ticket, and
upon Democratic Legislature may depend
the control ofthe next United States Senate.
The Importance of the election is threefold.
Be active, then, Democrats; do your whole
duty and elect the whole ticket from top to
bottom.

Registration in New York.

From the NJ J. SIN.
The Democrats are in high spirits over the
registration in this city. The total registra-
ton is 216,O0 10000 more than in 1882,
when Cleveland was elected Governor, and
only "A, 900 less than last year. The increase
over 1882 in the five Republican Assembly
districts is less than 900. In the same dis
tricts the falling off from the registry of last
year is 7, 800. This shows that the large in
crease in the total registration over 1882 IS
almost entirely in the Democratic districts
The largest increase is in districts which the
Republicans never even attempt to carry, and
where there is not a Mugwump or silk stock
ing vote. The rival Democratic candidates
for county Offices have brought out all their
friends, and Hill will benefit by their votes.
A vote of over 100000 is expected, and a
majority of between $4,000 and $4,000 for
Gov HILL

On To victory.

On Tuesday next the Democrats Of Car
roll will achieve another great victory, and
elect their whole ticket by large majority.
The voters throughout the county have
been aroused, had the importance of the
issues at stake impressed upon them, and
will be at the polls in force.
The Republican bosses have been hard
at work, holding midnight councils, having
registry lists prepared, &C., &c, and are in
high glee over the expectation that they
will elect their candidate for clerk. Their
plans will fail and their hopes will be
blasted. A few Democrats will probably
vote for Mr.. Stephan, but their number
viii be very few, and every Democrat who
50 votes will regret that he has done so.
Their places aciU be more than filed by
Republicans who propose to vote for Dr.
Martin because they want to rebuke SIAN
ders circulated by his opponents, because
they personally ike him, and because they
want to administer rebuke to the bosses
"a their oc,, party who have managed at
fairs for personal ends.
The Democrats Of Carroll have clear
majority of three hundred on full vote,
and at the September and October regis
tration gained ouer one hundred and thirty
on The republicans. This latter fact the
Republican managers did not know, and
its announcement will still further upset
their calculations.
To the charge, Democrats. Let every
man be in his place next Tuesday. Let
the party present solid front, and confu-
sion will come to its enemies. A GREAT
VICTORY Is TO BE RECORDED

Lowest Tax-Fair Assessment.

Republicans still repeat the exploded
story that taxes are low in Carroll because
assessments are high. The ADVOCATE
two years ago, in refutation of this, pub
lished a list Of twenty sales made in the
months of August and September, showing
that property brought more thu" ooe-third
more than the assessed value. The sales
were taken just as they had been reported
in the local columns of the paper, and the
twenty properties were scattered in eight
of the twelve districts.

could be made and if strictly carried out, as
there is every reason to believe they will be,
they will do much to prevent frauds and dis
