For Surveyor:
JOHN HARMED.

We will briefly notice the Demo-
Gratis leading editorial of last week
wherein it refers to US personally. If
the name of the writer of the article
In question (who is not the ed!tor)
were given. there would be no occa-
siCn for our paying any attention to
it, but as he hides himself behind the
editor and his identity is not gener-
ally known, we think it best to say {:
That the charge that we received
nearly twenty thousand dollars from
the county for printing, is false, and
was known to be false by the author
of the article when he penned it. The
assertion that no road supervisors
could be appointed unless passed up
on by US, and the insinuation that
we were now getting more than the
contract price for printing $500 per
year, as we'll as all other statements
and insinuations in reference to us,
are false. The great trouble with the
writer is that he measures everybody
by his own standard.

FriendsYille Bridge.

"If the Republican did not exhaust
itself on the big Four" last week,
perhaps it will pause long enough to
tell the people how they were robbed
in the Friendsville Bridge. and who
got the money."-Democrat, Oct. IL.
This Is another one of the Gam
paign ISLANDERS without anything to
support or sustain. except the asser
ton of the Democrats Tom Pepper.
Having no knowledge of any coun.
ty bridge being constructed or ever
repaired by the present Commission
ers or for years past, at Friendsville,
and being assured that nothing of
the kind has been done, we call on
the Democrat for information-to
give the particulars give the
names of the persons engaged in it.
and the amounts received by them.
We defy it to produce any proofs.

The Democrat arraigns the Repub.

administration of county affairs.
Whether true or not is shown by
the records. Turning to them it is
easily ascertained which of the two
parties is and has been the most
economical, and in doing so we de.
sire the citizens and taxpayers of
Garrett county to make comparison
and then determine which is most
likely to best subserve the peoples
interests and at the least cost.

vided the swag. Democrat. Oct. IL.
There seems to be taoo roads in Sci.

unusual prominence. and some con-
fusion or misunderstanding might be
occasioned in consequence by the
above paragraph.
For information as to one and a
complete refutation of assertions
made, we refer the Democrat to the
REPUBLICAN of last week. and if it
is not satisfied with what is there
said. let it bring forth its proofs to
substantIate what 1t intimates and

it dare not attempt it. We await

With such motto as Truth is

to be inconsistent in not diYulging

the people how the attempt was
made to rob them of eight hundred

The average rate for the fifteen
years being S1.19 and fraction on
the 500.
Under a Democratic administra.
ton the rate on the 800 was, for
1884. Sl.5sa
1885, 1911
Making an average for the two
years of $1.45, or 26 cents more than
the average under the Republican
rule.
During but one year. 1887, out of
the fifteen years of Republican rule
was the rate of taxation greater than
the lowest. that of 1885, under the
Democratic rule. In all other Repub-
lican years the rate has been less than
that of 1885. while the rate for 1884 is
% cents higher than for any other
year.
In 1888 the rate was 81 cents less
than in 1885. and 81 cents less than in
1884. This year, 1889, the one about
which complaint is made by the
Democrat, the rate is .jfve and one-hoT
cents less than in 1885 and thirty-three
cents less than in 1884.
We are told this difference is due
TO an increased basis, but to this we
cannot accede. If the amount levied
in 1889 was the same as levied In
1884, the 1889 rate with an increased
basis would be lower than in 1884,
bnt such is not the case, for while the
amount levied in 1889 was S45. 949. At,
the amount levied in 1884 was
S52, $3.50. 95, or S6.739.8s larger than
in 1889, so that the difference be.
tween the rates for these years can
not thus be accounted for.

why the Democratic County Conn
missioners issued said bonds"
In view of Mr.. Getty's course in
this matter and that of the platform
of his party, and the manner which
he has disregarded the will and
wishes Of the people, can he be trus-
ted again to represent Garrett county
in the General Assembly?
By that law of 1884 the School
Commissioners were and are prohibit
ted from expending greater sum of
money in any one year. and from
borrowing any moneys in excess of
the amount they shall be entitled to
receive for that year, and it further
provides that il shall not be lawful
for the School Commissioners to con-
tract or pay any debts in excess of
the annual revenue provided by law
for school purposes but notwith-
standing that law, and in direct vio-
latlon of it. the board for 1884 and
1885 did incur another debt and add
ed to it, until in January, 1886, when
new commissioners took charge, it
amounted to $4,000 or $4,000. The
new board in order to liquidate and
discharge that Indebtedness and re-
establish its credit. were compelled
to close the schools, and the children
of the taxpayers were thus again
obliged to lose the benefit of the in
struction so much needed. ZeaIouslv
and conscientiously did the board for
1886 and 1887 labor to do their duty,
to pay the debt, place the schools in a
good condition and the affairs on a
firm basis, but you know the result.
These men being Independent and
not susceptible to the influence OF
1.-The big four" were in 1888 Iegisia-
ted out of Office to make place for
persons more submissive to the will
of the "bosses," and as precaution
against having further trouble in this
direction. the people were denied the
right of electing their School Com
missioners. the appointing power
was taken from the courts and placed
in the hands of the Governor. The
new board, selected by 1.-THE powers
that be-" and appointed by the Gov
ernor, took charge in July, 1888.
What the condition of the school
finances is we are not informed. The
fact that we are to have but four
months school or less under all the
circumstances, is an indication that
all is not what it should be. Whether
or not in debt at the present time we
do not know and cannot say. but
judging by past experience, and the
charges made in reference to the ex-
penditures on repairs made to the
Deer Park property, we can safely
conclude that there is something
wrong and radically wrong in the
present administration of our schog1
affairs.
Will the Democrat inform US how
it is?
Will it explain how in the past the
school fund has been squandered
Will it explain why the present
board has published no statement as
required by law?
With such a record showing how
deficient in execution and admins
trative capacity the Democracy has
been, such disregard of the rights
of the people-so extravagant and so
free to sQuander public money, in
violation of law-are you willing to
entrust them with the county affairs?
You have their record in county
and school affairs. will you endorse
it?

to the legal right of the County Com

and 1883 and possibly 1887 when set
