LOCAL POLITICS.
What Is Going on Politically in Carroll.


tivity is more apparent 1t is not probable
that there will be much of a hurrah in Car.
roll, and the campaign will be quieter Than
| ever before known IN recent years in "a Presi-
Dental contest here. But this must not be
taken as a lack of interest on the Democratic
side. Never has the Democracy of Carroll
been more interested, never more hopeful,
never more confident The party is better
organized than ever before, as eyinced by
the formation of fifteen campaign clubs, and
the people never before have done so much
reading and thinking The people are in this
contest themselves, and are not waiting for
the campaign orator to arouse them. They
took the lead in selecting the candidates, and
they are ready to cast their ballots for the
peoples champions, Cleveland and Steven
son.
The few Democratic meetings that have
been held have been well attended. On
Saturday night last the Cleveland, Stevenson
and Talbot Club of Smallwood held large
meeting, which was addressed by Messrs. b.
+. Grouse and j. Milton Re,fsnider. The
club now numbers sixty-five members, and
have been supplied with badges through the
kindness of ex Senator T. Herbert Shriyer,
to whom the club passed vote of thanks.
The next meeting of the club will be held on
next Saturday evening, October 18th, and on
the 10th, at | o'clock in the afternoon the
club will raise pole. Speeches will be de
livered by Hon. j. Fred c. Talbot, Hon.
Frank T. Shaw and others. The Mechanics
vile Band will furnish music.

| Vincent Eckenrode and William Ii. Maus
vice-presidents, and A. ii. Zolickofier sec
rotary and treasurer. The club elected Geo.
| H. BRINE and A. II. Zollickoffer delegates to
the convention in New York of the National
Association of Democratic clubs.
! The Cleveland, Stevenson and Talbot club
of Westminster district was addressed by Z.
C. Rhodes, ESQ.,, of Baltimore, on Tuesday
night. The club room was crowded and the
speaker was given close attention. HIS re-
marks often elected applause, but his speech
was not of the usual campaign order, but
calm and clear statement of the positions OF
the two great political parties on the matter
| of taxation and federal control of elections.
Mr. Rhodes said that government was no
complicated matter, and explained its object.
| He then stated that the Democratic policy
was to ask the citizen to yield up no more OF
his earnings, in return for the protection the
| government afforded him, than was absolutely
| necessary for an economical administration
of affairs The Republicans, on the other
hand, believed that prosperity could be pro-

| ceeded to contrast the two policies and pro-
| duced convincing facts and figures to show
the wisdom of the Democratic position and
the fallacy of the Republican doctrine. The
| Force bill was next taken up and its hldeous
| features exposed. Upon this leading issue
\ the speaker warmed up considerably, as the
Republican attempt to stitle public sentiment
and perpetuate its power is enough to make
any patriotic citizen not deaf to reason Doll
over with indignation. Mr.. Rhodes speech
met with n hearty response from his hearers,
and was clear, strong and convincing through
out.
On next Tuesday night it is expected the
voting booths will be ready and the new way
| of voting under the Australian ballot will be
! illustrated.
! On Tuesday evening, October 18th, meet
| ing under the auspices of the club will be
