The Democratic Party and the Temper
anCe Cause.

To the Editor Of The 4Egis:
DEAR SIR: think you deserve the thanks of
all true friends of temperance for warning them
against those false friends and political patrons
who are trying to use the temperance cause for
party,purposes. Some good and true friends of
temperance may have been miSed by these willy
demagogues, but little reflection must convince
every candid mind that they are doing serious
Injury to good cause and giving just offense to
many of its best friends.
There are some facts in connection with the
subject that ought not to be forgotten. First
and foremost is the fact that without Democrat
ic support no legislation friendly to the temper
ance cause ever could or ever can be obtained.
And when we see the local option law adopted
by twelve hundred majority in county so large
ly Democratic as Hartford, it is manifest that the
true policy of the friends of temperance is to
conciate and not to vilify and abuse the Demo-
cratic party and its candidates.
In the next place it is an undeniabe fact that
in the enforcement of the local option law every
Democrat who holds an official position has done
his.full and entire duty. The Judge upon. the
bench has fully sustained the validity of the law,
over-ruling the special pleading and technical
objections urged against it, and has inflicted
punishment in all cases of conviction. The
Grand Jury, the Petit Jury, the States Attor-
ney, the Clerk and the Sheriff have all done their
duty faithfully, and will in all cases brought be-
fore them, and if there have been evasions Of
the law or failures to convict it is well known
that the fault lies at the door of those friends OF
the law who have failed to furnish sufficient
evidence to Justify conviction,
Would these men have arrests without war
rants, trials without Indictment and conviction ms
without proof? If so they may as well under
stand at once that good Democrats will never
consent to such violations of the most sacred
principles of constitutional liberty
While abe local option law is approved by a
majority of the people, let il stand and be fairly
enforced but its friends ought to know that the
| attempt of the Republican demagugues TO build
up their party and elect their candidates to Office
on false pretenses is doing serious injury TO the
cause of temperance.

One Way by Which the Republicans
Will Reduce County Expenses.

One of the reforms" promised by Re
publican candidate for County Commission
or, if elected, is reduction in the price paid
for work upon the county roads, while a
County Commissioner, he says, should re-
ceive $40 day for his arduous services.
This man evidently mas very conceited
opinion of his own worth and but little re-
gard for the welfare of the man who handles
the pick and shovel on the public road. The
price now paid is not too much, for
an honest days labor, and the fact
that men in private life can take advantage of
the necessities of their poorer neighbors and
squeeze their wages down to starvation
point, is no argument for the county paying
less for work upon the roads than it is worth
"a fair days pay for fair days work." is
sound and honest doctrine.

THE LAST CALL.

The County Executive Committee desire to
impress on every Democrat the importance of
looking after the interest of his party, at the
election to be held for State and county officers
and members of the Legislature, on Tuesday
next, the Sd day of November.
Our State and county affairs have been ably,
honestly and economically administered.
The Republicans are making vigorous efforts,
both open and secret, to obtain control of the
county and State They can not succeed if the
Democratic vote can be polled.
Many true party men are over sanguine and
think their votes are not needed; others have no
means of reaching the polls.
Every vote is necessary.
We ask you to see such as may be near you
and advise them of the necessity of going to the
election, and where they have no conveyance to
provide then. with the means of reaching the
polls.
A united effort will bring us victory and q
continuation of the blessings of Democratic
government in the county, State and nation.
The responsibility for success or failure rests
upon each individual.

LETTER FROM FALLSTON.


We were glad to read in your issue of last week
an article from your pen in regard to gambling
on the fair ground, an evil that has been in
creasng of late years. The directors are anxious
to obtain ali they can for the privileges and are
induced to let to these miserable wretches who
use every device possible to invege the old and
young In their snares. We saw at our recent fair,
little boys not over eight years of age taking
chances and betting on the uncertain turns of
wheels or numbers. What a terrible school for
them! And that, too, when they see their older
friends whose example they would emulate doing
the same. 1t has been growing evil and sooner
or later must reflect upon the Exhibition in the
diminished attendance of those who cannot sub
ject their children to such insinuating tempta-
tions
We would not reject legitimate side shows an
games of skill. They form for many attractions
that may be of benefit to the fair; nor would we
cast any reflections upon the Directors. several
of whom from our personal knowledge would not
wish to countenance what might be deemed an
evil but having had precedents for their guide
have allowed further inroads.
We hope that public sentiment will so frown
upon the practice of letting these stand, that our
Directors will abandon it in the future.

The introduction ofcrooked means to carry
gers are at this time resorting to. We charge
that instead of fair and open discussion, secret
and unjustiiable ISLANDERS are circulated
against the Democratic candidates.
We charge that the attempt that many
Democrats, hitherto answering from prin.
ciplc, are attempted TO be turned away from
the support of the Democratic ticket by
stories about individuals that are utterly false.
Regulations are regarded by these people
as things of naught, if onlya vote may be in
fuenced for Republican candidate. And
this is done, we charge, in many instances,
by Republicans who individually profess to
occupy higher plane of morality than their
neighbors-although heretofore the bitterest
leaders of Republican misrule in our midst.
For instance, they pirate of a fair and free
ballot, as if we can forget that in 1864, when
their party was in power, respectable citizens.
right here in Hartford county, upon pretend.
ed charges and bare suspicion were disfran-
chised by the hundred.
Also, in the present campaign, fair ballot
is attempted to be corrupted, by circulating
what purports to be Democratic ticket,
with the name of John McDoon obliterated,
and that of Edward M. Allen, Republican
candidate, pasted over it.
Also that this same gentleman, Mr.. Allen,
in order to seduce Democrats from their true
convictions as such, unblushingly proclaim
ed, at the Court House in Bel Air, in the pre-
sence of the convention that nominated him,
that he would not be bound to support any
particular party nominees. In other words,
he would betray his fellow Republican can
didates upon their ticket, if thereby he could
only induce Democrats to be false to their
principles and vote for him.
We charge that it is utterly untrue that the
church organizations and temperance ele-
ments are arrayed on the side of Republi-
canism. That party has not even respected
the higher sanctity of all true religious senti-
ment, but has assiduously endeavored TO
drag it into their own corrupt measures as q
party ally.
These are few, and only few, of Repub-
ican crooked means and utterly hollow and
deceitful methods.
Dove charge that all Republicans or Re.
publican candidates are guilty of these thingsi
We do not. But some of them are, and those
who are not shelter themselves under the
broad plea that they cannot be held response.
BILE for all the sins of even their own party
We make no charge against Republican
who really and sincerely prefers to be one
rather than to be Democrat; but we war;
Democrats to be equally sincere in the sup
port of their own ticket Make no splits il
favor of your enemies. Make no trade O
votes with them for anything. They will
not hesitate to hoodwink and betray you ant
laugh at you afterwards.

me Republicans claim to be the especial
friends OF temperance. The Democratic party
did all that the temperance men asked of them.
The local option law passed by over LOO majori-
ty. Where did that majority come from? Not
from the Republican party for they were about
100 in a minority. Temperance is no marty
question. 1t is sought to hold the Democratic
party responsible for the failure to secure con-
yictions in local option cases. The law was
fought section by section and sustained, but
juries can't convict without credible evidence. 1t
is charged that Mr. CarInan does not arrest vio
laters of this law. Do they forget that clause
of the Constitution that protects men from
rest except upon warrant under OATH To enforce
pet statute, is this great principle to be violated?
Are men TO be arrested without warrant and con-
victed without testimony? If you can only get
credible men as witnesses convictions will fol-
low. He hoped no Democrat would suffer his
vote to be affected by this or any other question
not before the people.
Speech Of Mr j. Il. q. Hopkins.
The last speaker was Mr.. J. Il. Q. Hopkins, who
greeted with cheers. He argued with force that
every man who participated in the primaries on
all of the candidates Suppose the party had
made mistakes, Haven't you all made mistakes,
but is 1t the right way to go over to the enemy to
correct your party's mistakes? The Democratic
party has nominated good ticket. There is no
charge OF unttness against our candidates. There
is vague talk about what this or the other man
IL
truth were known there is probably an unkind
motive at the bottom of the whole thing.
He denounced the charges against MIR. Carman
and recalled the fact that Sheriff Walker was
also personally vliied. An unjust, unkind at
tack was made on him. but his conduct as Sheriff
and as a man has shown thatit was untrue. Dem
ocrats will likewise show at the polls that they
do not believe the charges against Carman.
Mr.. Hopkins explained the recklessness of the
charge that Mr.. Walker could arrest showmen
for exhibiting without license but could not ar
rest men who sold whisky. The license law, he
| said, was put under the especial care of the
| Sheriff, but he had no authority to enter houses
| and arrest without warrant.
Mr.. Hopkins also said that the County Commits
| sioners deserved praise for the prOmptness with
which they had had the bridges rebuilt and roads
repaired after the great flood of August Sd.
| No more interested and respectable audience
ever assembled in the Court House. They listen
ed attentively and patiently until the meeting
closed. Excellent music was furnished by the
| Delta Coruet Band, Mr. James Williams leader
