No Change Necessary.

The Republican convention on Monday
endorsed George M. Parke, Democratic nom
inee for Register of Wills, as eminently well
qualified for the position, and did not nomi-
nate a Republican in opposition. The con-
vention might as we'll have endorsed the whole
Democratic ticket. Every nominee is well
qualified. One candidate for the Legislature
has had legislative experience, and two OF
the others are familiar with legislative affairs,
having served in subordinate positions. The
County Commissioners have served two years,
and are experienced in conducting county
affairs. During their term they have reduced
the county debt largely, opened new roads,
built new bridges, and appropriated consid-
cradle sum for new school houses-and this,
too, on a much smaller tax rate than that OF
any county in the ate. The candidate for
Clerk is a gentleman of intelligence and char.
acter, and will make an efficient and obhglng
officer. The candidate for Sheriff, and the
candidate for County Treasurer are both de-
serving gentlemen. The Republicans left the
Surveyorship to Mr.. Powder, not naming any
one for that position, thus conceding his fit
ness.
Voters, the Republicans might as well have
endorsed all of the Democratic nominees.
If there is reason for change from Demo-
cratic to Republican rule, there is need for a
radical change They have admitted, by
putting partial ticket in the field, that a
change is not necessary, and vote for the
whole Democratic ticket is vote for con-
tinuance of the present excellent county and
state government.

Revolt at Bossism.

There is a revolt all along the line at the
MACHINE methods by which the county Re-
publican ~eonvention was run last Monday.
If the ticket ggs one ol real l7laeFit; created
any enthusiasm and had any show Of being
elected BY the aid Of Democratic votes, or
through Democratic lukewarmness, the party
would unite in its support. Such is not the
case, however, and the better element of the
party propose to rebuke at the polls such
usurpatioh. AS the ticket is certain to be
defeated, many Republicans will abstain from
voting, some will vote the Democratic ticket
and others will strike off the names of some
of the most Objectionable candidates. There
is nothing to,be lost in doing so, as united
vote could not elect any part Of the ticket.

Letter from Baltimore County, Md.
Correspondence of the Democratic Advocated
RossvIILE, BACK RIVER NECK,

RossvILLE, BACK RIVER NECK,
October 5. 1885.
Editors of Ad00cate Your journal con-
tinues to become more interesting, and we
would not be without it for double the sub
scription price.
Mr.. C. Vollmer has sold q great many
peaches this season, and they were of su-
perior quality, commanding the highest fig
ares in the market.
The packing business in our district has
been limited this year, owing to the high
prices of fruits and vegetables,
Fish are abundant in our waters now.
Oysters are in a good condition-dredgers
and epicures say they are exceedingly fat
The rivers and estuaries are literally lined
with them.
Sportsmen are repairing their ducking
points and blinds, prior to the advent of these
luxurious fowls. The land owners of Back
River Neck are contemplating the possibility
of shellng the neck road. This would be a
step Of wisdom.
We had lively time at the late Democratic
primaries, yet the political tempest has lqlled
now, and the ship of contentment glldes
peacefully over the once angry pillows. Mf.
Walter r. Townsend, our young friend and
lawyer Of the 18th district was nominated for
the House of Delegates.
Messrs Wilson and Gilmor Shaffer shipped
nearly thousand bushels of tomatoes this
year to Baltimore markets.
Mrs jeremiah Shaffer, of Cranberry Val
ley, spent week with relatives in our com
munity Mrs. S. seemed highly elated with
,our neighborhood.
u The extension of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad through this part of the county is
progressing rapidly. Construction trains are
now plying between Baltimore city and the
Gunpowder river.
A tramp on the P. w. and B. r. r., near
Stemmer's Run, was arrested on the 90th
ult for a felonious assault upon little school
girl. He was taken before W. H. Rever,
Justice of the Peace, who committed him to
the county Jail for hearing by the grand
jury. Such villains deserve the immediate
and full extent of the law.
We omitted mentioning our old friend, Jas.
NJ Gillespie, as a nominee for the House OF
Delegates by the Prohibitionists.
Our farmers are about done cutting OIL
corn, and are now seeding wheat.
Rev. j. H. S. Clark and brother have cow
that yields fourteen pounds of butter per week.
Mrs. John Shaffer, formerly of Carroll, has
been ill with malarial fever, but is now con-
valescing. Good will to the editors.

A Machine-Made Ticket.

The Republican convention nominated Mr..
Andrew N Stephan for Clerk on Monday, as
the ADVOCATE stated it would. That he is
the strongest candidate that the party could
have presented, no one will pretend, or that
he was the choice of the party. The prima-
ries were slimly attended everywhere, and not
a tenth of the voters participated. The friends
of Col. McKellip made no effort at securing
pledged delegates A convention, they sup
posed, would be a body for consultation fer
the best interests of the party, not body OF
machine delegates. They thought that one
who had been foremost in every political con-
test ever since the organization of the Repub-
lican party in Carroll; who had battled for
his party when there was not the slightest
chance of success, and who had devoted his
time and money in score ofcontests, needed
no special champions. His eminent services
to the party they concluded were such that
the party would have felt honored in honoring
him. But they found on Monday that youn
ger and different element had control OF mat
tiers. The old war horses, the old regulars,
the wiser heads were in the minority, by pre-
arranged plans concocted in this city, and the
decree had gone forth that new leader
must be set up With them, long and faith
full party service and devotion to the princi-
pies ofthe party, counted for nothing. They
had come to rule or ruin. When their newly
chosen leader was presented there was no
guarantees of party fealty should they not be
successful. He was presented with an air OF
authority, that smacked of bossism. When
the name of the old leader was presented his
services to country and party were recounted,
and his friends pledged themselves to support
the ticket Outside of the delegates it was
very evident where the majority of the party
stood. The name of the old leader was ap-
plauded to the echo, which betokened an
eagerness for the fray with him in the front of
battle. But the controlling clement perse-
severed in their purpose and Mr.. Stephan was
nominated. Continuing on, ticket was made
up that is not as strong, by any means, as could
have been made. Those who put it in the
field, however, will be desperate in its advo-
cacy. They will work night and day to Sc
cure its election. 1t will not do for Demo
Gratis to rest content on the fact that their
party is in the majority. They must be up
and doing and be as active as the opposition
Neither must they count on the weakness OF
the Republican ticket. The rather, let us
win on the merits of our own and the party
record in the county and state.

The Republicans having put their ticket in
the field, the candidates will be around begging
votes from Democrats. They will tell you
they don't expect to be elected, but only want
to make good showing when the ballots are
counted. If they don't expect to be elected,
what matters it whether they get few or many
votes. They are after the Offices, Democrats,
and want to control affairs in this county and
state. Vote your own ticket, and don't do
any complimentary voting

The bosses that run the Republican con-
vention are already convinced that great
mistake was made, and that the ticket nomi-
mated has been coldly received. They would
gladly undo their work if they could. The
evident dissatisfaction and luke warmness,
and even open revolt, has dashed their hopes
of partial success. The whole ticket would
have been sacrificed for the sake of securing
the cIerkship, but even trading will not save
their candidate.

DR.. w. N. Davis, aged 50 years. one of the
leading physicians of Reading, Pa, few
months ago while performing a surgical oper
alton on a patient, cut his finger slightly and
some poisonous virus entered his system
through the wound. After the puncture had
healed and was forgotten small inhamed spots
began to appear on the doctors back. An
eruption broke out, and in short time large
carbuncle four inches in diameter had devel-
oped above his-left shoulder, spreading
toward the neck. Another carbuncle then
made its appearance on the other side of the
body six inches in diameter; still another ap-
peared further down nine inches in diameter
and fourth came in the small of his back
fully thirteen inches in diameter. Other car
buncles rapidly appeared until his entire body
was almost covered with them. The best
medical treatment was of no avail, and the
doctor suffered the most excruciating agony,
became unconscious, and finally died of ex
haustion Monday morning. Medical experts
say it is one of the most remarkable cases on
record.
Edward Brain was convicted of polygamy
at Salt Lake City on Friday of last week.
Brain made long statement to the Court,
maintaining the truth of his belief, of which
he said he was assured by direct revelation
of God to himself' Ellis covenants" he
SalQ, were mdue lOr All eleIHlLy3 dIu hS
would stand by them at all hazards" Judge
Zane reminded Brain that two of his wives in
this "eternal covenant" of which he spoke,
were already divorced from him. His first
wife was dishonored in her old age. To talk
of this being an eternal covenant under Di-
vine command was blasphemy. and he was
tired of hearing such hypocritical cant. y
The Court sentenced Brain to six months
Imprisonment and payment of a fine of $500.
The phenomena of tornadoes, to the scien-
! tific study of which Lieut. John 2. Finley, OF
the Signal Corps, has devoted about eight
years, are now so well understood as to war
rant the belief that trustworthy warnings may
soon be sent out to the inhabitants of locali-
ties which may be threatened with disastrous
visitations. Daily predictions are in fact
being made at present. The percentage of
veriGcatiou is already gratifying, though the
predictions are as yet largely experimental
and are embodied in the daily published bull
letins of the signal office only when the con-
ditions favorable to the creation of tornadoes
are very pronounced. In such cases ''severe
local storms" are noted as probable.

what Will the Soldiers Say P

1t has been the boast of the Republican
party that it saved the Union, and it has pro
claimed great respect and veneration for the
veterans Of the war. By law it has declared
that all things being equal, the veterans should
have preferenf'e when positions of honor,
trust and emoi6ment were to be filed. The
element that got control of the Carroll county
Republican convention on Monday is not of
that kind, however, for it substituted civil
ian for an old soldier.
