The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-10-23
Still Losing.

The Baltimore SIN took the trouble to
send a special correspondent to Westminster
to msrepresent the Democratic party in Car
roll and to stir up strife in order to defeat the
ticket here.
Had the Sun desired fair and impartial
report on Democratic politics in Carroll it
could have gotten one through its regular cor
respondent at Westminster-au intelligent
gentlhman and thoroughly competent TO give
an impartial and truthful report.
But the SIM seems to have abandoned
truth altogether. 1t does not seem to care
for facts when dealing with the Democratic
party. It's mission seems to be to misrepre-
sent entirely and wholly the Democratic po-
sition.
The ADVOCATE has heretofore noted the
fact that the Sun had lost circulation and in
fuence in this community, and this last per-
Torrance has resulted in still further drop
in circulation.
Deceit aud Hypocrisy will not win long.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-10-23
FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR,
PHILIP c. KENNEDY.
Mr.. German to Mr.. Abel.

On the first page today will be found an
open letter by Senator German to Edwin F.
Abel, which was published in all the Bal
timOre papers last Saturday morning.
Mr.. German refers to his record OH several
important matters, and then calls attention
to the Sun's profession of adherence to Demo
cratic principles and its personal hostility to
him. And in conclusion, willing to subordi
nate self to Dem ocratic ascendaney, the Sen
ator offers to retire from the United States
Senate if the Sum will turn about and support
the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. German has more faith in the Sun than
the ADVOCATE has. No promise from that
journal could find any credence with this
paper After its exhibition of inconsistency,
deceit, hypocrisy and deliberate falsehood for
the past ten years, no promise from that jour
nal, even backed by an affidavit, would be
accepted by the Advocate.
Still, Mr.. German was willing to tests its
sincerity and has placed himself upon high
plane of patriotism and shown willingness
to retire to private life if by so doing he could
remove any obstacle to party unity and sue
cess.
The San, of course declines to accept the
proposition, and to make excuse for doing so
deliberately misrepresents Mr.. Germans let
ter, reiterates some of its stale aud foundless
charges, perverts the truth and says it will con-
tinue to oppose the Democratic ticket.
One result of the Suns declination to ac-
cert Mr.. Germans proposition is, that it
places the Sun as an opponent of the Demo
cratic ticket, the Democratic party and Demo
cratic principles and policies II can no
longer pretend that its hostility to the party
is because of its opposition to Mr.. Germans
leadership, because the latter has offered to
remove that cause. It's opposition now is
against the Democratic party, and every
Democrat should treat it as an enemy.
1t stands for Protection, for Force Bills,
an emasculated election law, for an assess
ment law that enables wealth to escape tax
alton, and every Republican principle aud
measure. 1t is for Mudd for United States
Senator, the worst politician that has devef'
oped in this state.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-10-23
Sixteen Thousand Dollars wasted

A new assessment and new registration
Of voters cost the tax payers of Carroll about
$4,000, and the money was virtually wasted.
There was no necessity for new registra-
lion ofvoters. The money it cost was an alb
solute waste, and the eight thousand voters
were subject to loss of time, personal in
convenience and many of them to personal
expense.
The new assessment cost about 5000,
and real property still bears the larger share
of the burden of government.
The people wanted law that would re-
quire people 70 pay taxes according to their
actual worth in real and personal property.
Instead, the Republicans gave them one that
exempts personal property of its Just share of
taxation, and places the burden of govern
ment on real property.
Stocks and bonds that pay no interest. or
did not in the year before the assessment, are
not taxed at all A tenantless house or a
farm that pays no adequate return, is taxed
however. And stocks aud bonds that are
taxed, are either assessed at halt their value
or taxed at a lower rate than other property.
Under Republican rule tax dodgers and
alleged reformers are in the saddle. In two
years they have cost the tax payers Of Carroll
about sixteen thousand dollars.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-10-23
Get Out the Voters.

On full vote Carroll is a Democratic coun-
ty. 10 elect the whole Democratic ticket on
November Pa week from next Tuesday-it
is only necessary to get out the full Demo
cratic vote.
Every d Democratic voter should be seen and
impressed with the importance of the election.
If Carroll goes Republican this year, she is
likely 10 stay in the Republican column. If
Maryland goes Republican it will be some
years before the state can be reclaimed
There need be no solicitude as to the result
of the election it the full Democratic vote is
gotten out, and arrangements to have it cast
should be thorough and complete.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-10-23
Then and Now.

Two years ago every newspaper in Balti-
more was against the Democratic party, and
fully ten thousand Democrats were led to be-
leve that the party was used for personal
gain and there was corrupt bossism.
This year those ten thousand Democrats
know they we're wilfully deceived by two
papers with personal grievances, and are back
in the party again.
The Herald, the paper of the largest cir
culation, is supporting the Democratic candi-
date for Mayor. The american is neutral,
and not taking any part. The Flashlight,
with circulation of over 11,000, is greatly
aiding the Democratic cause.
The SIM and Nelcs have lost much OF their
influence, and their bitterest enemies are
those who have learned how they were mis-
led by them. They have played upon one
string loo long, and their vindictiveness and
over-bearing course have recoiled upon them :
selves.
In 1895 there was "a landslide in favor of
the Re publican party.
In 1897 there will be landslide in favor of
the Democratic party.
The deceit and hypocrisy used to mislead
Democrats in 1895 cannot be successfully used
this year.

A Farmer Murdered in His Barn.

MoNTRosE, Pa, October 2O-A. J. Pep
per, wealthy farmer of Rush, Susquehanna
county, died today from injuries received last
night at the hands of thieves. Last evening
his aged stepmother left him in the barn
husking corn, and late in the night she missed
him. She found her son in the barn bound
hand and foot, with his skull crushed in.
Near him lay a heavy club. A search of his
clothing revealed $50, which had not been dis
turbed. 1t is the theory of the authorities
that he was attacked with the intention of
robbing him and then looting the house, but
that the thieves were frightened away before
they could carry out their purpose. Pepper
had the reputation of carrying considerable
money about him, and was in the habit of
keeping money about the house.
