The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1889-11-02

Mr. John X Coweu, wish recklessness
that seems to be growing upou him, in
one Of his speeches to overthrow the
Democratic party ia Baltimore, declared
that majority Of the business men, manu-
facturers and capitalists Of Baltimore are
Republicans. The assertion was untrue
upon it, face. Il would scarcely be possi-
bic that such would be The case, in a city
where the Democrats are in majority Of
twenty thousand or more over the white
Republicans.
The Baltimore Netrs, with commendable
energy. has asoertained the political status
Of the members of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association and Of the
members IL the Corn and Flour Exchange,
and published the names and the political
utilization of each. In the former II per
cent. are Democrats and in the latter 30
per cent. OF the Bar Association the pro
portion Of Democrats Is 30 per cent aud Of
Republicans %.
The Nescs asserts, also, that Of the mil
lionaires, semi-millionaires, and Others Of
large fortunes, very large majority are
Of the Democratic faith.
Mr.. Cowen has not had the fairness to
correct his statement, but the Ne'rs has
done it in way that admits Of no doubt

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
BOGUS TICKETS.

The Republicans, who talk
about purity of elections, and
demand better registration
and election laws. evince their
purity by circulating BUF-
FALO TICKETS, as they did
in 1879. These tickets, it is re-
ported, have all the Democra-
tic nominees, except for Com
missioners, and the names OF
two of the Republican noml-
nees are printed on them In
the place of two Democratic
candidates.
This ticket is CALCULATE
ED and INTENDED to DE-
CEIVE VOTERS.
Democrats, get your tickets
only from well-known Demo
Gratis in your districts.

A Closing Word.

Upon the part of the ADVOCATE this
issue closes the campaign of 1889. 1t has
been our endeavor to present the issues
fairly and appeal to the intelligence of
voters, and we believe we have shown the
taxpayers that it is to their interest to
continue the present management, and we
confidently expect that the verdict recorded
next Tuesday viii be in favor of the Dem
cratic ticket by fair majority.
The Democrats entered the campaign
upon the merits of their record in state
and local affairs. Few states in the Union
have less tax rate than Maryland, which
is III cents on the 500 against 80 cents
under Republican rule. OF the state tax
10 cents is for public education and the
balance Is to meet interest upon the state
debt. The states credit is high, her bonds
bearing three and four per cent. interest,
and are eagerly sought at these low figures.
The county government is equal to the
best in the state, and our tax rate Is the
lowest, except in Baltimore county. The
levy in Carroll is 20 cents lower than in
Frederick, the lightest taxed Of any county
in the state udner Republican rule, and Is
IS cents less than in Garrett county.
The county debt, which was upwards Of
$4,000 when the Democrats came into
power, Is now less than $4,000, while
the assets of the county are largely in ex-
cess Of the indebtedness.
Under Democratic government the school
system has been changed from partisan 70
non-partisan control. When the Repubh-
cans relinquished power Ire larger portion
of the schoolhouses in the county, said
Superintendent Christ, were unfit for any
civilized man to teach IN. and the furniture
was in even a worse condition. The benches
were without backs, and pine bosrds ex
tending around the sides served for desks.
Only about seven Of these old buildings be-
longed to the county The others were
put up by the citizens in their neighbor-
hoods. The county now owns 10 houses
II concrete. log. stone, 30 frame and
CT brick. These buildings are fitted with
modern and comfortable furniture.
The old wooden structures that SPAWNED
our larger streams during Republican con-
troll have generally been replaced With sub
stantial iron bridges. Many miles eff
county roads have been opened for public
convenience, and their condition IS equal
to that of roads in other counties. No
where can good roads be found now, for
frequent floods and heavy rains the past SIX
months have damaged them greatly.
Peace, good order and happiness, as far
as II is possible under federal system of
taxation that increases the prices Of the ne
cessities Of life an average of forty -seven per
cent, while prices of farm products are ex-
ceedingly low, prevail in the county
The Democracy Of Carroll have given
guarantee of a continuation Of good man
agemeut by nominating experienced men.
The party appeals, with confidence, to
the voters Of Carroll, and We feel assured
that they will not vote change, and sup
plant experience with inexperience.

Mr.. Shepherds Card.

Mr.. Thomas F. Shepherd member OF
the last Board of County Commissioners
under Republican rule, rushes into print to
point out the unfairness of the ADVOCATES
statement concerning the cost OF the Com
missioners under Democratic and Republl-
can rule, and proceeds to show, to his own
satisfaction, that the last Republican Board
was more economical than the presenter
rather the aggregate of their per diem was
less than the present Board, their duties
considered To do this, he says that the
Board acted as a Board of Review and
Control and built Jail
This was during the year 1861.
What was the Board doing in 1866,
when their per diem aggregated Sl394.O5,
as against s742 for last year, under Demo
cratic rule. The Republican Commission
ers were not acting as a Board Of Review
and building a jail-a $1,000 one for slO.-
OOO-al the time from June 80, 1868, to
November 80, 1867. For the year ended
June 30. 1866, the County Commissioners
received s135405; for the year ended
June 80, 1867, $4,000, and for the fol-
lowing five months S727.75, or at the rate
of Sl746.60 for the year,
Mr. Shepherd wants the ADVOCATE to
be fair. 1t always strives to be SO, But
did not Mr.. Shepherd forget to be fair, in
not stating that county business is nearly
double now what it was twenty-five years
ago?
And was it stating the whole matter
when he said the last levy under Republi-
can rule was 40 cents on the SlO0?
As matter of fairness ought he not
have stated that no levy for public schools
was included in the 40 cents Ought he
not have stated that the Democrats levy II
cents for public education, which. subtract
ed from the levy of 30 cents, leaves but SO
cents for county purposes? For county
expenses then, Mr.. Shepherd, was not the
levy 10 cents under Republican rule as
against 81 under Democratic?
And are not court expenses much heav-
Ter now than prior to 1867 ? Are not
there more bridges and many more miles
Of roads to keep up
Your Board for the year 1866 spent

ended June 80. 1889, amounted TO sst,-

only SOC, il7.24 for the purposes which

When your Board went out Of Office, Mr..
shepherd. you left a bonded debt Of s74.-

The Cecil County Ne,os has been sold
to Daniel Bratton. The journal was found
ed BY DR.. J. H. Frazer about nine years
ago, entering the field as an independent
paper, but one year ago espousing the cause
of Democracy. 1t has been a success from
the beginning, being conducted with fair
ness, discretion and energy. Mr. Brat'on,
the new proprietor and editor, assumed
charge last week, and the paper gave evil
denee Of being bright, vigorous and able
journal under his guidance. The press Of
the state will regret to lose Dr. Frazer from

When the Republicans controlled Carroll,
the tax levy was 40 cents on the $780, and
nothing was levied for public schools The
Democrats levy so cents on the 500, about
IA ofwhich 90 to the support public schools.
While courts are more expensive aud there
are more bridges to maintain and nearly twice
as many miles of roads as when Republicans
were in power, the Democrats are conducting
county business for 50 cents on the Sl00-or
! cents less than the Republicans spent.

colored Children in White Schools.

Until last year all public schools in Carroll
were open for three terms each. At some os
the colored schocls-there are thirteen in the
county-the attendance was very small in
September and October, aud not up TO the
requirement Of the law. Because the atten-
dance was not DIP to the requirement, the
School Board last year gave most of the col
ored schools but two terms There was no
complaint, and but two terms was decided
upon for this year. An order was passed
opening white schools in September and the
colored schools about the middle Of October.
Since Harrison's election the negroes think
they own the country, and have resumed their
aggressiveness Reuben Thomas, Aaron Aus
tin and Philemon Dorsey, eolored trustees
Of White Rock school in Freedom district,
wrote to the School Board saying that if their
school was not opened when the white schools
were, they would send their children to the
white school. Here is the exact language of
the trustees, and the letter was dated August
30, 1889:

BRIBERY IN MARYLAND
Carroll and Cecil to be Bought
by the Republicans.
What Say the Democrats of Carroll ?
AROUSE,AND MEET THE CONSPIRAT0RS.

The Cecil Democrat of October 26th says
The Republicans constantly claim that with
one district in Baltimore city they can con-
troll the Legislature. To do so they must
capture Carroll and Cecil. The instrument
tally on which they are said to rely Is
''boodle." In brief they propose to buy the
voters of Cecil and Carroll counties in suth-
cient numbers to overcome the natural Dem
ocratic majority in each
This is the game, is it! Democrats of
Carroll, will you sell your dearest right and
barter your principles? Will you even allow
yourselves to be approached with bride?
We think not The rather, we believe you
will resent any attempt to purchase your vote,
and you ought to, and resent 1t vigorously.
Any violence toward the rascals who would
attempt to overthrow popular rights and
popular government by bribery is unsuitable,
and every good citizen will sustain the man
who defends his principles and honor by
visiting severe and lasting punishment.
Arouse, Democrats, and be on the alert
Watch for the bribers, particularly around
the polling places on election day, and give
them a warm reception.
Some Republicans will affect not 10 believe
this report about an attempt to buy Carroll
and Cecil, but the Democrat would not assert
it unless upon sufficient evidence.
The Republican managers stole the Presl-
dency in 1876.
They bought it in 1850.
They tried to steal !, again in 1876.
Aud they bought it in 1855,
BY bribery they carried the Delaware Leg
islature in ISIS. and elected a Republican to
the United States Senate.
The machine Republicans do not hesitate
to resort to bribery anywhere. when they
think it will tell in their favor
They have no compuuctious OF conscience
on that score.
II they believe they could carry the election
in Carroll and Cecil by the use Of money they
would no; hesitate 20 use il.
The local managers have not hes'iated 10
siandcr and Iibri Carroll by attacking the
School Board and the schools by declaring
Carroll the highest fErai county IN the state.
by declaring tba, property is assessed here ia

that our public roads are iAe worst iD the

SANDERS are calculated 10 drive away those

Fusion Frauds.

Concordia Hall, October 10, have published
a card in the Baltimore Sun, repudiating
the use of their names in that connection,
declaring their steadfast adhesion to the
principles of Democracy, and their purpose
to vote for the straight Democratic ticket.
This is the way the party of reform @ try
to bolster up cause that has only misrep-
resentation to stand upon-by publishing the
names of Democrats as adhering to their
party, to make it appear that it is strong
and formidable. 1t is fraud and de-
ception, dishonest and disreputable.
