the boys and girls have been injured
ever since by the incompetency of
that Democratic board makes the
defense that Mr.. Getty saved his
county from dishonor and the odium
of reputation by providing means
for the payment of her Indebtedness, .
etc. This is certainly a bad case Of
pleading the baby act
Mr. Getty, after he had submitted
the matter to the people and they
had spoken in no uncertain tone, had
a right to submit to their expressed
will. If he did not intend to do so,
why submit the matter to them at
all? Talk about honor and integrity
of the county. 1t is well known
fact that many of the best people of
our county, including many of our
most prominent teachers, voted
against the bonds. If Mr.. Getty was
right, if he possessed the honor and
integrity and those who voted against
the bonds were in favor of repudia-
ton, then Mr.. Getty did not represent
even the people of his own district,
for they on this question voted for
bonds, 35, and against bonds, 297; so,
Mr.. Democrat, you see where the
defense of your candidate for Senator
leads-that Mr.. Getty's own neighbors
were for "repudiationn by vote of
eight to one.
No, these people werenOt in favor
of anything dishonest, and are not
to-day. The people OF our county
are as honest and upright as people
of other counties, and they viii not in

mind the Democrat that the Ameri-
can people are not only a reading
public, but they also do some think
ing, and a large majority have con
cluded that the only principles of the
Democratic party on the financial
question is that principle which the
leaders of said party think will get
the most votes, and as they remem-
ber the great Inconsistencies of your
party and of the miserable straddle
of your present financial plank which
was written by A. p. German TO de
ceive the reading public, but which
has proved a failure. and like a
boomerang, has returned to strike
the one who threw it, as the position
of the gold standard Democrats and
the Bryan silver Democrats of Balti-
more prove.
The intelligent people of our
state like men OF backbone-men
VINO are not AFRAID TO say where theN
stand as Mr.. German seems to be
upon this great question, who cares
for nothing as much as the gratifica-
tion of his own personal ambition; as
the people think of these things on
the end day of November, Of the
great wrongs perpetrated by the Cor
man Rasin ring upon our grand old
state, they will arise in the majesty of
their might and hurl from power the
Democratic ring, and send men to the
legislature who will elect man to the
United States Senate who will vote
for honest money and not for free
wool.
Vote for Ravenscroft, Moon and

OUR friends, the enemy, talk great
deal about their economy in county
affairs. yet the highest tax rate we
ever had i'll Garrett county was under
a Democratic Board of County Com
misSiOners, while a Democratic school
board plunged our county $4,000 in
debt. Then look at the extravaganza
of Democratic Legislatures. Take
for instance that of 1894, which is not
the worst by any means, which had
to pass a deficiency bill for $2S, 600 and
cost the State $177,000 whilst in 1896
the Legislature which had q Republi-
can majority in the House of Dele
gates cost the State $145 000 or S42. 600
less. In 1856 there was paid on the
State debt$711, 900 besides appropriate
ing 100000 for free school books. 1t
was not until 1893 that the Democrats
began to collect interest on State de
pOsits. The Republicans collected as
interest on this item in 1906 SIS. 9O4.
Then in addition the Democrats con
Quoted the financial affairs of theState
so loosely that Stevenson Archer the
Democratic State Treasurer and also
treasurer of the Democratic State
campaign committee, stole S133, 600
from the State. The question has
been asked many times if this money
was used i'll furthering the political
ends of Senator German.
Take the record Of the two parties
in county, State or Nation and com
pare them and you will find that as
an economical party the Democrats
are a sad failure. In this county we
are especially interested in getting the
right men elected as County Commits
sioners. Messrs. Kelso and Carey
will administer the affairs of the
county justly and economically and
their election to this important Office
will prove that no mistake was made
in their selection. Let them be elected
by a large majority.

GENERAL LEE FAIRCHILD, one of
the brainiest orators of the day, will
address the Republican meeting in
Oakland on Saturday night. Gen.

Hon. Thomas B. Reed last fall, who

usually effective debater." You will

PERRY LEE proved that he was
made out of the right material to
make first-class sheriff while he was
constable in District No. Although
he had some hard work to perform
work that took nerve, watchfulness
and sagacity-yet he always did his
work in a highly creditable manner
Perry will make one of the best sher-
ifs Garrett county ever had. a vote
for him will not be regretted. He
will have one of the largest majori-
ties of any man on the ticket.

THE Democrat last week in its de
fense of Senator Getty's bond record
admits one fact which some of Mr..
Getty's friends are attempting to
deny, that is that the bonds were
issued. Neither does the editor of the
Democrat deny the charge made
against Mr.. Getty that he had not
carried out the wishes of the people
as expressed at the ballot box. He is
now before the people as a candidate
for very important Office, and in the
the convention of which Mr.. Getty
was boss, and which gave him the
nomination for the Office to which he
will not be elected, declares that Ito
accept nomination from the people
is pledge to the people of untiring
efforts to accomplish their wishes. =
We ask if Mr.. Getty in his position as
State Senator did what he could to
accomplish the wishes of the people?
When he first submitted to the voters
whether they would bond the county
for the $4,000 an incompetent and
inefficient Democratic school board
had run in debt, and then when the
people had said by a majority of 447
out of total vote of 1871 that they
were opposed to the bonds, at the
next session of the Legislature, Mr.
Getty in opposition to the will OF the
people expressed at the ballot box.
had another law enacted authorizing
the county commissioners to issue
said bonds, which has crippled our
schools and shortened the school term
every year since. This is fact that
is well known, and what is the defense
of Mr.. Getty by the DemocrGt2 After

Bad Roads in Maryland.

Lieut.. H. a. Wise, United States
Army, broke the cycling record Fri
day between Washington and New
York, making the distance of 239@
miles in 81 hours and 80 minutes The
New York Athletic Club. which Mr..
Wise represented, claims especial
prominence for the feat, because Of
the miserable condition of the roads
through Maryland" These words
are quoted from the telegraphic ac-
counts of the ride, which was last night
sent broadcast throughout the coun-
try. "So bad were the roads from
Baltimore to Harve de Grace" con
tinues the dispatch, that it took
four hours for Mr. Wise to make
twenty-five miles, &c. The record
was made possibly by the remarkable
time made after Philadelphia had
been passed"
This is bad showing for Maryland,
and suggests more strongly than ever
that this State should have as good
roads as any point beyond Philadel-
phia or around any other city in the
Union. The Maryland record for %
miles on good roads is within ! hour
and % minutes, so it will be seen that
had Maryland had such roads as she
should have had on the stretch on
which Lieutenant Wise spent four
hours instead of about an hour and
a half, he would have accomplished
his ride i'll about % hours The same
causes which detained the cycier tive

merchants and thousand OF dollars
worth of merchandise every working

WE ARE very much panied to think
that Brother Litzinger has wasted 50
much valuable space in the NcUntdiH
Democrat by publishing the financial
plank of the last Democratic State
platform in each issue OF that valua-
bic journal for so many weeks.
The German Democratic leaders
and editors have so often asserted
that the financial question was not
an issue in this campaign that we
could not understand why there was
so much valuable space being Wasted
in the DcmOcr0t Last week Brother
Litzinger says it was in order that the
reading public may not be deceived
by the Misrepresentation of Repub-
lican organs Is it not surprising
that he should have such an opinion
of Republican organs? Does not ev-
cry one know that it is absolutely
unnecessary for Republican organ
to misrepresent any one of the great
questions Of the day? Entirely so,
and we assure the Democrat that
it could have saved the large amount
of space it has wasted in the several
weeks past, for nothing was farther
from our mind than to want to mis-
represent the Democratic party upon
this very important issue, and to
prove how sincere we are in this mat
ter we ask the editor of the Democrat
to further guard against misrepresen-
tation by publishing in connection
with the financial plank at the head
of its columns the plank adopted at
the Democratic convention held in
Baltimore June, 1896, which declared
for a gold standard, the financial
plank of the last National Democratic
platform, which declares for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to I;
this in connection with your present
financial plank adopted at the last
Democratic State convention which
was bossed by German, who wrote
the financial plank which is a miser-
able straddle of this important ques-
ton, would make mighty interesting
reading.
We would like for you to tell us to
what particular section of the Consti-
tuition of the United States your
platform refers when it says "gold
and silver money of the constitution.
We have read the Constitution and
with a great many others have failed
to find the above in that document
We do read that Congress shall have
power ''to coin money, regulate the
value thereof and of foreign coin and
fix the standard of weights and meas
ures.'' See See s, United States Con
stitutiOn. Not one word about gold
and silver being the money of the
Constitution, but of course Boss Cor
man, who wrote the platform, knows
all about it.
We would also like the Democrat to
explain the great Inconsistencies in
these three financial planks which the
Democrat has endorsed within the
last eighteen months, and tell the
reading public where the Democratic
party lis att on the financial question
in which the reading public is so
vitally interested. OF course he can
do it, for Democratic organ is moth
ing if it is not consistent. The edi-
tors can all say consistency, thou

TOUCHED FOR TIN.

Ralph Terrell, the well-known o. A.
c. student had an unpleasant experience
Saturday night. 1t was not only un-
pleasant-it was costly also.
Walking toward Cauthorn Hall, he
met twedmen in the lane leading to the
Col. Hogg house. He thought they were
school boys until they met, One cried,
Hand over your purse eT' Looking
around, Ralph saw pistol in the hands
Of his temporary acquaintances, and an
expectant air in the attitude of the other.
Ralph had purse containing $I8 He
did not enjoy losing the money, but
neither did he like the looks of the re-
velver. He handed over his purse with
out word and when the robbers told
him to move on, he moved.
:Terrelfreaclled the dormitory with his
hair, face and voice bearing ample testi.
mony to his natural fright. Next morn
ing Prof. Fulton and Ralph found the
empty purse near the scene of the rob
berry, but discovered no clue to the pads.
Terrell says one of them was tall but
slight, with stubby beard and wearing
overalls. He did observe the others ap.
pearance, except that he was the shorter
of the two and rather heavy set.
1t is considered by many that the rob-
bers were members of fhe Weber Ora

ity and that he had the evening receipts
with him.

sex county, Delaware, and, was aged 70
years, one month, and three days. In

to Illinois, and after few years resi-.
dence in that state, the family took up

Missouri,, where Mr.. Galloway was mar
ried at the age of 1e years In 184e,
during the California gold excitement,
Mr.. Galloway came to the coast, but re-
manned only few months. In 1864, he
crossed the plains with his family with a
train of which he was captain, and set
tied on the old CUshman place in Lin n

the DIR. Hill farm on Soap creek, in this
county, where he lived until last July,
when he came TO Corvallis to spend his
remaining days.
