JOHN CLARK,
The Republican Scheme.

We make last and most earnest appeal to
every voter who believes in the doctrines of
the Democratic party to Ego to the polls, next
Tuesday, and vote the Democratic ticket en-
tire.
The Republicans cannot truthfully say
that their candidates represent, in any higher
degree than the Democratic candidates, the
intelligence, the responsibility or the honesty
of the people of Hartford county. In respect
to their fitness for the offices for which they
have been named, the Democratic candidates
may fearlessly challenge comparison with
their opponents. This being so, there is, on
this ground, no reason why any Democrat
should withhold his vote from the candidates
of his party or what would be worse vote
for any of those opposed TO the regular Dem
ocratic ticket.
There are, however, other and weigh
tier reasons why every Democrat should
vote an unscratched ticket at this cleo
ton. A vast scheme is being formed
by the subtle Republican managers to
enable that party to retain control Of the
National Administration for an indefinite pc
riod. To accomplish this end, according to
Senator Wilson, bill is to be introduced in
the next Congress which, under the pretence
of providing for the appointment of COM
mission to secure fair elections in the South
ern States, will also be made to apply to ev-
cry other Democratic State, 80 that by means
Of this partisan Republican returning board,
Democratic majorities may be made to elect
Republican congressman and Presidential
electors. The scheme is q bold one, but not
too audacious for the leaders of that party
which stole the Presidency in 1876 This
nefarious project may not be accomplished
at once, but every Democratic Legislature
changed over TO the control of the Republ-
cans will help it along. If the Republicans
can elect majority on joint ballot in our
next State Legislature, it will give them an
other vote in the United States Senate in
furlherance of their scheme. How import
ant, then, it is, that every Democrat should
set the seal of his condemnation upon this
conspiracy by voting for an undivided Dem
ocralic representation from Hartford to the
Senate and House of Delegates. 1t is not
question of men, but the preservation of our
rights as freemen.

Two of the most prominent reform I"
speakers at fusion meeting in Baltimore
last Friday night, were Charley Goodman
and Bill Harig. In the Baltimore Sun of
Monday, the record of these worthless in the
police annals is given. From these it APP
pears that both have been arrested many
times for rioting, drunkenness, assault, at
tempted murder, and one of them for larceny.
They both said they had been invited by Mr..
Cowen to come to the fusion meeting and
confess their political sins as Democrats
The appearance of these wellknown roughs
and repeaters in the Republican ranks at this
time, in the role of converted rogues, should
be cause for thankfulness on the part of
every true Democrat. Improves conclusively
that the atmosphere of the Democratic party,
under the Business Mems management, does
not agree with them and they have gone to
their own place.

The Republicans in Hartford county are
bending all their energies towards two things.
One of these is to elect their candidate for
State Senator; the other, to elect two or at
least one Of their candidates for County Com
missioner. To accomplish these objects they
will sacrifice all the rest of their ticket. Lis
ten to no offers, fellow Democrats, to trade
votes. Ifyou will come out to the polls and
vote the Democratic ticket entire, every man
on it will be elected by good majority. II
you aid the Republicans now by staying at
home or by scratching your ticket you may
lose all you have been contending for for
Years.

Why is it that our assessable basis in
Hartford county has been decreasing? Is 1t
not because so much wealth is hidden away
beyond the reach of the tax collector? With
a new assessment this would be brought to

their fair share of the expenses of the gov

the Democrats have nominated Col. L. Vic

Baughman's administration Of the Comptrol-

the confidence his friends had in his abll-

Let Well Enough Alone.

In every human institution as well as in
the conduct Of every individual, the fanlt-
finding can discover something to criticize
and condemn. This liberty Of criticism IS
unsparingly used against all who hold public
office and especially against County Commits
sioners. Their official business is SO varied,
aud they are brought into relation with so
many people, in their management OF county
affairs, that it would be strange indeed II
they should succeed in pleasing everybody.
Errors of judgment may have teen made by
our present board, but no official corruption
or dishonesty can be imputed to them or to
any Democratic board of County Commits
sioners since the war. We only do the pres
ent board justice in saying that they have
carefully endeavored to economize in pubic
expenditures, and they have succeeded this
year in making reduction in our county tax
rate. Taxes ought 10 be lower, but they can
not be materially reduced under the present
assessment. Here in Hartford, as elsewhere
in the country, wealth Is unequally distribu-
ted. Our assessment books show decrease
in the value of personal property. No one
believes Hartford county, as whole, is poorer
than she was ten years ago Our farmers, it
is true, have met with reverses and are in debt,
but the assessment has fallen of because
much Of the wealth Of the county has passed
away from the farmers, who could not hide
it from the tax collector, and has gone into
the hands of those who are enabled to place
it in investments which the tax gatherer can
not reach The increased business Of our
county has made more costly repairs upon
our public roads necessary. New roads to
railroad stations and new bridges have be-
come indispensable. These and other things
over Which the County Commissioners have
had no control, our courts, ETC., have pre-
vented greater reduction in taxation.
The present board of Commissioners have
performed their duties as faithfully, as hon
estly and with as much sound business judg-
ment as any board we have ever had. Four
of them, Messrs. Hooker, Silver, Hope and
Scarborough, are candidates for reelection.
The fifth Democratic candidate, Mr.. Poole,
has already had two years experience in
the board. To vote against them would not
he wise. Better let well enough alone
