A Contrast.

In its platform adopted on Monday, the
/ Republican party pledges its nominees to q
busness-like and economical administration
/ of the affairs of the various Offices TO which
/ they may be called to fill
I 1t is not likely any of them will be called to
1 fill an Office this year. The people of Carroll
have had little taste of Republican ''bus-
iness-hke and economical administration.
When the party was driven from power i'll
/ Carroll they left a bonded debt of S74.4 &
debt of Sc, 600 owing to Joshua Smith and an
overdrawn bank account, the total indebted
ness being about SS4. 900. The county eX-
penses were annually growing. The Com
missioners were levying 40 cents on the 500
for county purposes, and not a cent trent to the
suDD0lt Of the pHblic schools. The school
houses of the county, according to School
Examiner Christ, were generally unfit for use,
and a number were rented buildings unsuited
for school purposes.
What is the condition today? The county
debt is reduced to $3.50. reduction of about
,S25.3zf. The assets of the county are SlS,-
4OS. "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. and it has been done on the
otreSt tar r0te IN the state.
Do the taxpayers Of Carroll want a change?
When they have the best and most economl-
zeal government in the state is it wise to change
it? fla 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 i'll maintaining
the best government at the smallest expense
will vote to change the present management.
The last year of Republican rule in Carroll
the county expenses were S6S, 122. "A. The
Democrats spent this year $50. go. 100000 OF
which went to the public schools. Subtract
the cost of public schools and the county eN-
penscs last wear were but S60,G70 as against
sos. 722. "A the last year of Republican rule
a difference in favor Of Democratic rule Of
SS.O52.74. And when this difference is con
sidered. remember that court expenses are
much greater now than then, that there are
more roads and bridges to keep up, that the
population is third larger, and that all general
expenses are greater Remember. too that all
the districts. nearly. have increased their TAX
rates in order TO put their highways in first
class condition.

Democrats Aroused.

If any Republican had any hope of carry
ing Maryland next month, that hope must
have disappeared if he observed the names of
Democrats published in the Baltimore papers
this week who are taking part in the cam
paign. Next Monday night there is to be a
monster reception to MesSrS. Hurst Smith
and Crothers and mass meeting in Baltimore
To the call for it were the names of over =, :
600 DemOerats. In Wednesdays papers Il
call was issued for meeting to organize
''YOung Mems Democratic Association, and
the call was signed by $500 Democrats.
The Democrats are not active only in Bal
timore, but in every county. Clubs are being
organized and meetings held. and the party
all over the state is preparing to not only to de-
feat the Republican ticket but TO give that
party knockout blow that will settle beyond
all doubt Maryland position in the Demo
! cratic column in 1896.
! Republican bragg and buster, the rawlings
and treachery of the Baltimore Sam and Ners
and the attacks on the party by those who
| have had honors at its hands have stirred up
| the party as it has not been for some years,
and deluge of Democratic ballots will sub
merge the opposition. The party is on its
mettle this year. 1t has the votes to win. it
| intends to win and will win.

Taking the road tax into consideration the
average tax rate in Carroll is about 81 cents
on the $780, Of these "a cents about 18 cents
are devoted to the public schools. Under
Republican rule nothing was levied for public
schools, and the tax rate was 40 cents on the
500. With the school tax deducted, the tax
rate for county expenses is but SO cents on the
500. ! rents less than the Republicans levied,
and roads. bridges and court expenses are
nearly double now what they were in IS6G-7.

The Republican convention on Monday in
It's platform, 'deprecates the present lavish
expenditure of money in the various county
offices" Every Republican, then, should
vote for the reelection of Senator p j. Ben
nett. He has record on curtailing expenses.
He had a law passed limiting the Sheriff s
salary to $2500 per annum and another law
limiting the salary of the States Attorney to
$500. Ifthe Republicans mean what they
say, and did not adopt platform just to catch
votes, every one of them should vote for a
man with a record. and not try an expert
ment.

One of the nominees on the Republican
ticket said on Monday, after the convention

TO leave his business. His head is level.
