The County Commissioners recommend a
repeal of the local tramp law for Carroll.
The original bill was all right and would have
worked well, but it was altered and amended
so as to pile up costs and never has been
properly construed and enforced. 1t ought
to be repealed and one on the order of the
original enacted. With the change in the
tariff laws, which has set the wheels of indus

DENOUNCED AS UNWORTHY.
r. P. Graham, Republican Nominee
for Comptroller, Denounced as IN
worthy of Support by Republicans
of His Own County.

There is trouble in the Republican party in
Wicomico county, the home of the Repub-
lican nominee for Comptroller, r. p. Graham.
When the county convention was held to elect
delegates TO the state convention there was a
split and two delegations were sent 10 the con-
vention. The faction led by Levin A. Par
sons. William Ii. Conway and Elk Postmaster
John p. Owens, had in their convention rep
resentatives from seven of the ten districts,
but the state convention did not admit them.
Last week the county convention was again
convened to put mp a local ticket, and another
split followed. On Tuesday the dissatisfied
delegates met in convention and gave form 10
their sentiments in the following resolutions /:
Resolved, that the delegates 10 this con-
ventiOn and also to the state convention be
lieve it to be their duty to arraign publicly the
record of X. p. Graham. the Republican nom
inee for Comptroller as a candidate unworthy
of the support of the Republican party in this
county and state; first. because he helped TO
rough the county convention also cOnuived
and sanctioned this fraud of bogus cOnyen-
ton, and that he was party To the betrayal
of MalSter in the county.
Second, because K. p. Graham has fire.
quently denounced the Republican party as
composed of a rabble aud negroes. and he
could not afford to be with it, saving, also. II
was otherwise unworthy of his SUPPORT.
Third, because K. 2. GrahaI.A cted a. a
delegate to the Republican So convention
two years ago refused TO participate in thai
convention because he did not wish Ia sat with
a colored man. who was also elected ~ a del
egate to the same convention.
Fourth. because r. p. Graham has pub
hcly declared himself as opposed 10 the free
school system.
Resolved. that oar arraignmeut Of X. T..
Graham j. by our political convictions. and
that he is not the choice of the Republican
party in this county for Comptroller. and that
his political record j. not endorsed hy the
representative Republicans in this county.
The resolutions we're signed by L. 4. Par
sons. chairman, aud Peter Bounds. secretary.

One county in Pennsylvania has contributed
two members to congress. two to the state
senate and two convictS to the penitentiary.-
Baltimore Herald.
That's nothing. One election district in
Carroll has contributed two members to Con
gress. one TO the State Senate. several to the
House of Delegates, one collector TO the port
of Baltimore. and several convicts To the Pen
itentiarv.

The per diem of the County Commissioners
of Carroll, for the excellent management they
have given of county affairs, last year amounted
to $3.50. In Baltimore county each Com
missioner receives a salary Of $1,000, or nearly
double what all three receive in Carroll. The
Commissioners of Carroll receive less than is
paid even in the smallest counties. They are
satisfied, and manage better than the Com
missioners in other counties, as is shown by
the low rate and the excellent condition of

W. Cabell Bruce, who now refuses to sup
port Mr. Hurst because, as he alleges, his
nomination was dictated by Mr.. Raisin and
Mr.. German. is the same Mr.. Bruce who took
a nomination for the State Senate two years
ago handed him by Mr.. Raisin. Mr.. Bruce
would not have been nominated for the Sen
ate had Mr. Raisin not brought him forward,
and Mr.. Bruce knows il. He never was a
party man aud should not have been sent 10
the Senate. He ought to resign and let o
Democrat be chosen in his place.

Do Not be Deceived

Those who are not for the Democratic
ticket this year are against ii. The issue y
Republieanism v. Democracy. There Is no
middle ground. man is either a Demo
erat. supporting the Democratic ticket, or he
is a Republican in action il not in name.
Another issue is reassesSment. The Demo
cratic platform and Democratic nominees are
for a new assessment. The tax dodgers are
supporting the Republican ticket, and this
shows how the Republican party stands.
This is plain statement Of plain facts

It's Services Not Needed.

Every Democratic paper in the state is Sc
verely critieising the Baltimore San for its
treaehery, deceit and misrepresentation, and
the Washington Post, Alexandria Va Ga
zette and New York San are lampooning the
old hypocrite also. The SIM has burned the
bridge this time. II has proved false to
the Democratic party before. as in 1891, but
is deceit was never so apparent as at present.
II cannot fool the Democrats of Maryland
soon again. Let it stay where it belongs, in
the Republican party. The Democratic party
does not need IFS services.
