EVIDENTLY SOME people think that a lie,
well stuck to, is almost as good as the truth.
In proof of this we only need refer to the
statements about Baltimore county's debt. We
have repeatedly asserted, and we again say it.
that when Mr.. Magruder's Board of County
Commissioners went out of Office it left debt
of nearly 100000. This Board was succeeded
by majority of Republicans, who instead of
putting on heavy levy for the first year they
were in Office and wiping out this obliga-
ton, thought the matter could be otherwise
adjusted and the result was they failed to ad-
just it. This is the plain, unvarnished truth
of the matter.
SPEAKING OF what it calls the real issue" in
the present campaign the Baltimore Herald
says: 1.-THE supreme issue in this fight is not
the negro or the Wabash Railroad or even the
oyster; it is precisely what the Herald pointed
out months ago-a better election law. The
present law is bad because it is not honest; it
is unsatisfactory because it is full of tricks; it
is evil because it was designed for unfairness.
1t was the work of few men, and we believe
the great majority of Democrats as well as
Republicans want it fumigated and reformed.
Before the campaign closes every candidate, of
whatever party should be made to face this
issue squarely and declare himself upon it
without equivocation. A bad election law
means all the other evils in politics-and the
present law cannot be explained without con-
fession or defended without chicanery."
A STAFF correspondent of the Baltimore
NeCs accompanied Hon. S. A. Williams on his
recent tour of Western Maryland and gave to
his paper lengthy account Of the trip and the
impressions he formed of Mr.. Williams and
his work. Concluding he said: THE truth is
that in this man OF combined ruggedness and
sweetness of temper, who loves joke and who
yet is dominated by high seriousness of pur-
pose, who talks to small. dimly-lighted hall
full of Allegany county miners as he would
talk to the residents of silk-stocking ward Of
Baltimore city this quiet, self.contained, per-
fectly balanced, sincere, able country gentle
man the Republicans have candidate of ex-
traordinary qualities. He is an amateur in
politics, and it may be that his methods and
his aims are too advanced to succeed in this
State at the present time. But whether victo
rious or unsuccessful in this campaign, he Ia
a man who will command the respect OF the
class of citizens, whose virtues will grow upon
the people as they learn to know him better
and who, even if defeated, will compel admit
ration and sympathy. The worst to be said
about him is that if elected he will not exceed
the anticipations of his friends. For to know
him, nothing that is good is too much to ex-
pect of Stevenson A. Williams"

THE COUNTY police force, paid by the tax

WE COPY the following from an editorial ar
tlcle that appeared few days ago in the Balti-
more San on the Maryland Senatorship: "Po-
litical parties, like individuals, are judged by
the sincerity of their professions and perform
ances. This is truism which the Democratic
managers in Maryland should keep constantly
in mind. No party can retain the
confidence and win the support of the masses
of the people which is not absolutely frank
and honest in IFS dealings with the people. No
party is entitled to the respect of the masses or
their good will ifit occupies an equivocal posi-
ton on any important public question"

THE MIGHTY scribe of the Towson Democrat,
by the side of whom the leading editors of the
country are as mere pigmies, finds fault with
us for not publishing long editorials and be-
cause we haven't sense enough to write them.
That sounds rather unkind, don't it :? We be-
lieve the bray of the wild ass is longer and louder
than that of most animals, but that isn't say
ing it is the most delightful of sounds. There
is moral in this if you will only look it up.

THE BALTIMORE police, like the Baltimore
county force, arrested colored men upon false
charges of illegal registration, hoping thereby
to deprive them of their votes and Brighten
others out of registering. But their schemes
failed when the matters were investigated.

cure an advantage for their party. 1t is quite
time to put a stop to such outrages.

MARYLAND LAST week lost by death two of
her most valuable citizens within twenty-four
hours OF each other. COL David c. Winebren-

very suddenly from apoplexy, aged SO years,
and the day following, ex-Judge Charles T.
Reifsnider died at his home in Westminster,
from an attack of heart disease, aged 63 years.
Col. Winebrenner was connected with the
fred'k County Agricultural Society, for some
time as its president. He was also connected
with many business enterprises and was in all
respects most excellent citizen. Judge Ref.
snider's death is great loss to the Maryland
bar and one that will not soon be replaced. He
was an able, conscientious lawyer and gentle
man and one of Carroll county's most estima-
BILE citizens.

SPEAKING EDIToRIALLY of the arrests at
Sparrow's Point the Times, an independent
newspaper published there, says: This is a
trick of one of the political parties intended
for nothing in the world but to prevent these
men from exercising their right of vote in
the coming election. While they are serving
the purposes of the Democratic managers by
lying in the county Jail, their families are de
prived of their means of support. But what
does this matter to corrupt political party
That this has been a practice of the Democratic
party for number ofyears can not be doubted,
and it is condition of affairs that is condemn
ed by all right-thinking people. That there is
corruption il both parties there is no doubt,
but why can't our registrations and elections
be honest and above board and give every
man, who is entitled to it, his vote?'

had stereoptican views showing the trick DEM

law under which our elections are now held.
II you want this law changed the only way to
accomplish it is to vote for the Republican
candidates. That party is pledged to the pas

When you go into the election booth on the
Sd of November you can put cross-marks after
twenty-one names if you WISH for you can
vote for that many candidates, including the
candidate for Associate Judge of this district
