The Tax Rate.

In Carroll the tax rate for local purpo-
ses is but 30 cents on the Sl00-the low
est county rate in the state. In the coun-
ties under Republican rule the rate is from
20 to IS cents higher.
County expenses are much greater now
than when Republicans controlled this
county. Not a dollar was then collected
for public school purposes. With the
growth of the county the terms of the
court are longer, and consequently more
expensive. There are many more roads
and bridges to maintain now than then,
and every year they are being multiplied.
During the last year of Republican rule
in Carroll the tax rate was forty cents on
the 500 Under Democratic rule is is
ffIy cents, about sirteen of which are de-
voted to the education Of the masses.
For county purposes, except public schools,
for which they did not have to provide,
the Republicans levied forty cents, and
the Democrats, Notwithstanding the large
increase of county expenses, levy but thir-
ty-Jour cents. Here is difference of si:r
cents in favor of Democratic rule, not
counting the difference in expenses then
and now. When that is considered, there
is fully difference of twelve cents in ia
yor of the Democrats.
When the Republican party went out
of power they left debt of about SS4, 900,
not cent in the treasury and an over
drawn bank account. The Democrats, by
economy, paid off all floating Indebtedness
and have reduced the bonded indebt-
edness to sl2,77O, and the assets in cash
and nncollected taxes are double the in
debtedness.

Bribery of Voters.

The bosses journal last week contained
an article on bribery, in which was quoted
the statute on the subject. We hope the
allusion to it will have some effect in re-
straining the bosses henchmen, but we do
not expect it. In fact it is quite proba-
bic the article was intended as a blind-a
show of virtue, behind which the work of
bribery might be carried on
We would remind the respectable people
of Carroll that the use of money and brib-
ery in elections in Carroll was inaugurated
by the Republican bosses, and bribery, ca
jolery and vituperation constitute their only
campaign tactics. They never resort to
reason, because they have no reasonable
ground upon which to stand in local cam
paign. They therefore use honeyed words
to beg votes, personal detraction to injure
Democratic candidates, and money to cor
rupt and buy voters whose necessities
sometimes make bride too tempting to
resist. 1t has been but few days since a
Republican from one of the nearby dis
tricts laid down twenty ten-dollar gold
pieces in public house in this city, told
whose money it was, and asserted that his
candidate would be elected if it took ten
dollars a vote to carry him through-or
words to that effect.
The ADVOCATE wants fair elections.
To that end, as a means to prevent bribery,
we favor the extension of the Australian
system of voting to Carroll and all other
counties now excepted from its operations.
We want free and untrammelled express
sion of public sentiment. If the Republi-
cans out-vote the Democrats, let county
management pass to them. But the bosses
must not resort to bribery, and those bench
men who have been supplied with money
for that purpose will be wise if they return
it whence they obtained it, or keep it in
their own pockets.

Register of Wills.

There is not Il man at all familiar with
the business of the Register Of Wills office
in this county that will not say that it is
as well managed and conducted as any
registers Office in the state. There is not
a man familiar with the office, including
the members of the bar, that will not say
that Mr.. George NJ. Parke is the best
qualified man in the county for register
There is not a man with any conception of
the duties of the office that will not say
that there are very few men in the county
who can 20 into the Office and conduct 1t
at all, without the assistance of Mr.. Parke
or his deputy. 1t is not an ordinary office
to fill, and an inexperienced register will
mean the expenditure of large fees by ad-
ministrators and executors in settling up
estates that are now saved to them. Elect
an in inexperienced man to the place and
many small estates will be absorbed by
costs
The only objection raised to Mr.. Parke's
election is that he has been in the office
too long. He has been deputy, at a
small salary, for some years, it is true, but
he has held the office but one term.
The people, we take it, are interested
most u, ha-;no, .,a,,,1lAtnnt naie;.ls WI"
the officials are is matter Of secondary
consideration, so the public business is
properly conducted.
4 vote for Mr. Parke is a vote for eff
cient management of the registers office
and the saving # expense to all who have
estates to settle A vote for his opponent
is vote to try an experiment, and per-
haps a costly one.
The Democratic candidate had no opposi-
ton for the nomination and is before the peo-
on his own merits. He asks their support
on his record, and is incapable of using
any unfair means to secure an election,
He is not being so treated by the Repub-
lican bosses, who are using every device to
discredit all Democratic nominees, not with
the expectation of electing all their own
candidates, but with the hope that Demo-
cratic dissatisfaction generally may result
in the election of three or four on their
ticket for whom the whole power of the
Republican machine is being used.

The Clerkship.

The chief contest in Carroll is on the
Clerkship, and the full power of the Re-
publican machine will be exerted to elect
its candidate.
CoL McKellip cannot be elected e-ccept
By the all Of Democrats. This none will
dispute.
Why should he receive any Democratic
support?
Has he ever east ballot for Demo
crat?
Has he not been the hardest fighter
against the Democratic party in Carroll
county?
What claim, then, can he set up for
Democratic support =?
Will Democrats turn against their own
party candidate and give the best office in
the county to their most persistent political
enemy?
We think not
Mf. ID. II. OFOusS; llS bChoNiotiS hN''
inee, is a gentleman of excellent quallfca-
tons for the Clerkship. He won his nom
ination fairly and squarely before the vo-
tiers of the party, and it was not dictated.
He has been an active Democratic worker
and speaker for twelve or fifteen years,
and for the past six years Chairman of the
County Central Committee. He is enti-
tied to the vote of every Democrat in the
county-drst, because he is well qualified,
as he has fully demonstrated during his
eighteen months incumbency, and second,
because he is a thorough, consistent, active
working Democrat If he gets the full
Democratic vote, he will be triumphantly
elected.
What say you, Democrats? Will you
turn down a good Democrat, who has won
his nomination fairly and who is eminently
qualified, and elect bitter political en-
envy? 1t is difficult to see how any Dem
ocraf can cut Mr.. Grouse from his ticket

The States Attorney.

The ADVOCATE has always contended
that the States Attorney should be a law
yer Of some age and experience, and it is
a credit to the people of Carroll that they
have for many years, if not always, chosen
very competent men for the position. The
States Attorney is the peoples attorney.
He represents them in the punishment of
crime and protects them from violence and
and oppression. The ADLER the States
Attorney, the greater the security Of life,
limb and property. With an indifferent or
inexperienced States Attorney the greater
the opportunity to escape punishment and
the geater proneness to commit crime. So
well has this office been filed in Carroll for
the past sixteen years, there is less criminal
business before our court than in other
counties in the state and consequently less
expense, and for the past few years no of
fenses of very serious nature have been
committed at all.
As worthy successor 10 the present
States Attorney, the Democratic party pre-
sents Chas. +. Fink, Esq, to the voters for
their suffrage, with the full belief that he
will make very efficient and conscientious
officer. He has practiced at the bar here for
thirteen years, and his experience well
equips him for the position for which he
has been nominated by his party.
Vote for Charles +. Fink for State
Attorney.

A Dull Campaign.

The Baltimore Sun says the campaign
in Maryland is "Dull." Its idea of lively
campaign is one that is full of bitterness
and personality, spread over six or eight
columns on its first page at twenty-five cents
a line. 1t says, in the way of encourag-
ing the Independents and fusionists to ad-
vertising action, that there is no similarity
between the contests in Maryland and New
York-in the Empire state the issues are
national, on the Force bill, the tariff tax
and the silver question; in Maryland these
subjects are 'threadbare' and worn out.
The IS,n wants the amendments discussed
and lays great stress upon the matter, while
10 its advertising columns attention is called
to pamphlet on the subject published at the
,Sun office. Let some one buy these pamph-
lets and publish spicy advertisement or
two, at twenty-five cents a line, or the iSu,

No Trading.

There is no necessity for any Democrat to
trade votes with Republicans. Get ont the
Democratic vote and victory will be assured.
To secure the cIerkship Republicans will vote
for half dozen Democrats to get one
vote for their candidate for clerk. They
want to trade votes to elect at least two Of
their commissioner nominees, in order to
secure the county printing for the amateur
journal run for the benefit of the bosses.

A True Picture.

Stalwart Republicanism, like Bourbon
ism, learns nothing and forgets nothing.
1t is the same today as it was under the
Grant regime, when they wanted him for
a third term with their Belknapism, their
Whiskey Ring, their Star Route frauds,
their Southern Outrage Bills, their Ku
Klux Bills, their Carpetbagism, their Eliza
Pinkston Returning Boards, and their mil
itary at the polls The evidence of this is
to be found in the revolutionary Force Bill,
which they still adhere to, and the grind
ing taxation of the Mckinley tariff, which
is sapping the life of every interest except
the protected manufacturers and wealthy
trusts and monopolists who are grinding the
faces of the poor. Such is Republcanism
today, as it always has been. Can Demo-
Gratis admire the picture? Not they. They
will come to you, fellow Democrats, with soft
speech and honeyed expressions of moder-
alton and conservatism, but if you believe
them and help them to consummate their in
cubation, you will find that you have hatch
ed out only cockatrice eggs
