A Contrast.

In its platform adopted last week. the
Republican party pledges its nominees to a
business-like and economical administration
of the affairs of the various Offices to which
they may be called TO FILL
1t is not likely any of them will be called TO
fill an office this year. The people of Carroll
! have had little taste of Republican bus
/ iness-lke and economical administration.
/ When the party was driven from power in
! Carroll they left bonded debt of S74. 40, a
debt of Sc 600 owing to Joshua Smith and an
overdrawn bank account the total indebted
ness being about S84, 900. The county eX
penses were annually growing. The Com
missioners were levying 40 cents on the 500
for county purposes, and not a rent rent to the
support Of the public sch0oLs The school
houses of the county, according to School
Examiner Christ were generally unfit for use.
and number were rented buildings nsui1ed
for school purposes.
What is the condition today? The county
debt is reduced to $3.50 Il reduction Of about
,SrJ.3z4 The assets of the county are S1S,-
4O8. "a above all liabilities. The public schools
are open three terms and the county has
school houses equal to those Of any county in
the state. The mileage of the public roads is
nearly double what it was in 1861. the roads
are vastly better and numerous bridges have
been erected for the public safety and con
venience. The county finances are in excel
lent condition. All bills are promptly met,
and the expenditures never exceed the levy.
No county can be better managed than Car
roll has been, anil It has been doHe on the
hWest tar rate in the state.
Do the tax payers of Carroll want change?
When they have the best and most economi-
ical government in the state is it wise to change
it? If farmer has faithful employe, work
ing honestly and well, would he discharge him
and employ, at the same price. one of whom
he knows nothing? No sensible farmer would,
and no voter who is interested in maintaining
the best government ut the smallest expense
will vote to change the present management.

Lowndes and Public Roads.
From the Hartford Democrat.

FTOIH IIIC IiNTTOI'I UtNlOCIdI.
Mr.. Lloyd Lowndes, Republican candidate
for Governor, while in Hartford among the
Road Leagues, expressed great interest in the
public roads. He and his fellow-boss Duke
Wellington, have controlled the roads in Al
leghany county for many years, and they have
the reputation of being the worst roads in the
State. As road-mender Mr.. Lowndes at
home is an admitted failure. Hartford farmers
will require some other and better reason for
giving their votes to the Republican candidate.

The negro Republican organ of Baltimore,
the Standard, is not afraid to define one of
the leading issues of the present campaign. It
says.-
These old, moss backed, bourbonized Demo-
Gratis are afraid of the negro, and the least
hint on this line is sufficient TO canse them to
tremble like a leaf. We are not in this fight
for supremacy, but for equal advantages in
the public schools.
What does g equal advantages in the pub.

When the Republicans of Carroll attack
Democratic management they call up their
own record. Under the last year of their
rule the pay of the County Commissioners was
at the rate $l746.60 per year. Under Demo-

received only $5l9. 4O-less than one-third

From the Cecil Democrat
1t is with fine grace that those sinners of the
sixties cry for fair elections.
From the Cumberland Times.
If the Republicans don soon muzzle the
Baltimore SIM Mr.. Hurst majority will be
away up in the thousands.
From the Belair EgiS
If the Democrats who believe ii necessary
TO defeat Mr.. Hurst in order 10 show their
antipathv to Mr.. German. had put an hide
pendent ticket in the field. their position would
be more tenable than the one they now oc-
cupy-that Of supporting the Republican can
didates. The position of these Democrats,
who claim their intention of supporting Lown-
DIES. is similar to that of Benedict Arnold
while holding West Point and negotiating with
the British for its betrayal. and their position
after the election will be similar to Arnold $
alike despsed by all.
From the Port Tabacco Times.
One by one the Smpaper brings ont the
old well known ''tax-dodgers'' of Baltimore
city, sandwiched between a few brieHeSs Young
lawyers seeking notoriety, as apologistS for
its treason; but even of this poor material the
old lady is unable to conceal Il ridiculous
paucity. The situation was sized up shortly
after the convention by keen observer who
reported that the Sunpaper following would
amount to 50 voters. This. at the time. was
regarded as Il low estimate. but from the care
FIJI and manifest irugality with which the old
lady ''trotS them out, it would appear thai
the above was an over estimate.
From the Elicott City Times.
A Montgomery county subscriber 10 the
Baltimore Sun writes to that paper commend
hat
not Il Democrat. As Mr. German is neither
a Populist nor Prohbitionist he must neces-
sarily be Republican. yet our subscriber TO
the Sun is going to do just what he charges
Mr.. German with having donc-go over to
the Republicans. This is Just the kind of
ground a good many dissatisfied Democrats
are standing on today.
