The ADVOCATE has several times pointed
out the inaccuracies of the late census and
shown its unreliability. A recent bulletin on
the assessed value of property in the several
states shows that there has been consider.
able depreciation in values in Maryland. The
bulletin gives the total valuation in 1880 at
S497, 3O7 ,G75 and in 1890 at 1882, ls4, 1924.
According to the tables of the Comptroller
office, at Annapolis, which are correct, the
assessed value of Maryland in 1880 was $780,.
ls7,4Os, and in 1890 S4s2, 1874, 1924. Instead
of reduction ofSl5, 900, 900 there has been
an increase of about S2s, 900, 600.

That staunch Democratic journal, the
Gettysburg Compiler, has been under the
management of Mr.. Henry J. Stable for forty
six years. He began his forty seventh year
last week. Few people have owned and con-
troled journal so long, and few papers are
more popular with its patrons than the Com
piier Its prosperity is an evidence of the
prudence and care with which it has been
conducted, and the ADVOCATE extends con-
CALCULATIONS to its venerable and genial editor.

w. J. Vaunort, of Kent, who was nominated
for Governor by the Republicans at Ocean
City on Thursday, made very ridiculous
speech accepting the nomination. 1t was full
of self praise and braggadocia, and he alluded
to the Democracy as ''tbe disgruntled and
corrupt Democratic hosts.n He also ex-
pressed the belief that he expected to be
elected, and would carry the banner of Re-
publicansm from Worcester to Garrett and
from The Susqnehanna to the Potomac, &e.
His speech was more idiotic than statesman.
like He will not carry a county in the state,
and without the negro vote would be beaten
by 10000 majority by ballots east by white
men.
