A True Democrat Writes from

CaCILToN, MD, Oct Ii, 1898.
Ma. Ed !oR:
There ale a great many Democrats in
this distIics who intend to vote the Re
publican ticket this fall. They will do SO
for va.ious reasons. The voters OF the
Democratic party should rot support the
ticket simply to benefit one family-the
CIothets family, or any other family.
The present candidate for State Senator
was States Attorney for fouc years, a
nice fat place, worth probably $4,000
HIS brother is the present STATES At
torney. Many voters know that Mr. C.
G. CiotheIs, the would like-tC-5c-S!afe
Senator, did not know many of his Re
publican as we'll as Democratic support
els dtier he was elected States Attorney.
Many have loLg since Iepeuted having
voted for him. Fellow Democl ats, the
Aust allan Ballot places you in position
to cast your ballot without any one
knowing how you vote. The present
ticket is not deserving your support,
because it is not the selection of an
honest majority Of Your party.
A TRUE DEMOCRAT.

The Ajax Paints

! At time when the market is iloode d
with cheap and unreliable paints al
oils, it is pleasure to direct attention
to line of goods SO thoroughly reliable
aud deservedly popular as the Ajax ready
mixed paints manufactured by G. G.
Howell " Co., 2l2 Race street, PhiIadel-
ptia. This we'll known firm has estab,
lished the reputation of the Ajax paints
as being composed only of the best pig
ments and oils. They are not cheap
goods, made of benzine and water, and
put upon the market t9 sell because they
are low priced, but are manufactured to
wear, their durability being the result OF
their high quality. They are made in
all tints for interior and exterior work
packed in neat cans, and we recommend
them for their high quality and perma.
nence, If you have an order to place
correspond with c. Il. Howell & Co.,
and tiy the Ajax Paints.
