DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
Dates for Primaries and Conventions Fixed
and Big Ratification Meeting
Decided Upon.

Pursuant TO call by Chairman B. f. Grouse
the Democratic County Central Committee
met at the Court House in this city on Mon
day last. There was a rather full attendance
and there were present number OF Democrats
not members of the committee.
The session of the committee was rather
long, some difference of opinion existing
about the time of holding a convention to
nominate county ticket.
After general interchange OF views II was
decided to hold primaries on Saturday, July
"a, and to elect FIVE delegates in each district
to each of three county conventions TO be
held on Monday, July 26. One convention
will select five delegates to represent the
county in the state convention, which will be
held in Baltimore on July 2S. Another con-
yentiOn will select five delegates to the fifth
judicial circuit convention, which will meet IN
Westminster on Wednesday, August 4. The
other convention will nominate candidates
for the Legislature and local Offices.
The first and second conventions will be
able to dispose ofthe business ofselectlng dele
gates in time to allow the nominating conven-
ton TO organize by 11.30 o'cock. Alter or
ganizaton there will probably be a recess tor
dinner, and ticket will be nominated IN the
afternoon.
The ticket to be nominated will consist OF
IOUf ctlulualeS lOf lHe HOUSE VI DGlSSateH.
candidate for clerk of the Circuit Court, can
didate for Register of Wills, one candidate for
County Commissioner, candidate for Sheriff,
candidate for County Treasurer and andi-
date for County Surveyor
The ticket will contain candidate Tor AS
sociate Judge, to succeed Judge |. Thomas
Jones, to be nominated by judicial convention
that assemblies in Westminster on August f.
This convention will consist of FIVE delegates
from Carroll, three from Howard and five
from Anne Arundel.
On the state ticket will be a candidate for
Comptroller and a candidate for Clerk of the
Court of Appeals.
Altogether the ticket this year will contain
nominees for two state offices, one for Judge.
four for the Legislature and six for local
olfices-a total of thirteen.
After the county ticket has been named on
July 26, the Central Committee decided that
a big ratification meeting be held at night, to
be addressed by able speakers.
There was feeling among the committee
and other Democrats that there would he
sweeping Democratic victory in the state and
in Carroll in November The disposition
seems to be to nominate strong and invincl-
BILE ticket. Personal ambitions will not be
taken into consideration, and an effort will
be made to induce some of the very best men
in the county to take nominations. As was
the case when Senator Herring was nominated,
men will be sought, and the convention will
not confne itself to choosing between an
nounced candidates.

The thanks Of the ADVOCATE are returned
to Mr.. A. H. Huber, druggist of Westminster,
for large thermometer, one of lot he had
manufactured to give as a premium to pur-
chasers of ''Hering's Compound Syrup of
Blackberry Root, of which he is the pro-
prietor. If the ADVOCATE gets little to warm
for our Republican friends during the cam
pagn it viii be because the thermometer is
not accurate We shall endeavor to keep a
little below blood heat, and if we do not,
blame it upon the premium that is exchanged
for six empty bottles that were once filled with
Herings Compound. And if any reader Of
the paper should become too much heated
himself, little of Hering's Compound will
benefit him

SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. Henry Rahter Died in Two Hours
After Being Stricken With ApOpleXY-
Husband Dies About Same Time.

Mrs. Barbara E. Rahter, of this place, died
here at 7.3O o'clock last Sunday night, and
her husband John Henry Rahter, died at
Harrisburg, Pa, at about the same time.
Mrs Rahter was in robust health until a
few hours before her death, which resulted
from apoplexy. She died at the home of her
son-in- law, Mr.. Charles V. Turtle, with whom
she resided. She received information on
Saturday that her husband was very i'll at the
Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane at Har-
risburg, Pa, of which he had been an in
mate for several years, and the excitement
and grief caused by that knowledge probably
FASTENED her death. Mrs Rahter would have
been sixty-three years old in October, and
Mr. Rahter sixty three in August. They were
natives of Lilttlestown, Pa, and they were
buried in one grave at that place on Tuesday.
Mr.. Rahter was a well-known hotel pro-
prietor. and was at one time for several years
in charge of the Westminster City Hotel
Mrs. Rahter's maiden name was Barbara f..
Long. They leave five children-Messrs.
John, Charles and Benjamin Rahter, of Bal
timore and Mrs. Turtle and Mrs. Harstone
of Westminster.

1t is announced that in France the wheat
area for 1897 will he over million acres less
than the area for 1896, aud that the crop will
show falling off of nearly fifty millions of
bushels. If these figures prove to be correct,
France will be compelled TO look 10 other
lands for her grain supply, and this country
viii be called upon 10 furnish the bulk of it.
The United States will stand ready to do this,
as from the present outlook this country is
to have a wheat crop of enormous size. The
French demand, together with the other de
mand from foreign lands promises 10 help
American farmers TO secure a fair price for
all the grain they can raise this year.

Supt. Paine has achieved u notable
reform in preventing the unloading
upon the State insane asylum Of so
many victims of the morphine, tobac-
CO, whisky and co%oaine habit. If the
counties could be stopped from send
ing to the state asylum senile men and
women who properly should be cared
for by their relatives or sent to the
county infirmary, the really insane
could be better cared for. In no state
is the law about commitments for in
sanity so loosely construed as in Ore
gon. These persons, the complaining
witness, the examining physician and
district attorney can send any citszen
without means or friends 10 the
asylum as ''of unsound mind and un-
fit to be at large" They are really
interested in making a commitment
for the fees they thereby secure.

Small banks all over the country
are reported to be refusing deposits
from farmers on account of limited
storage capacity of vaults, or unwil-
lingness to assume liabilities beyond
their paid-up capital. The large
amount of property that is heavily
mortgaged at high values and high
rates of interest makes loans on real
estate undesirable. Mismanagement
of city, county and school government
cOmpels the taxpayer to pay a high
interest on bonds held abroad that
should be taken up at home. Repeal
of the mortage tax law makes it i'm
possible for the resident money own
ers to lend on real estate without
double taxation. Altogether we man.
age our finances in about as clumsy a
fashion as it would be possible to in
vent among the civilized.
