FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEB. "a, 1871
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY lin CAR
ROLL COUNTY.

"A feeling of Indifference or slug
gishness seems to pervade the ranks
W the Democratic party i'm Carroll
county. This is both unfortunate and
wrong for its continuance will result
In disaster and defeat. Whether 1t Is
caused BY the repulse last fall or the
death of Mr.. Grouse, for 80 many
years it's leader, it is not necessary to
enquire or determine. The matter
which II OF vital Importance at this
time il a preparation for the coming
primaries. ....
Unless the primary next summer Is
conducted fairly and openly, in strict
accord with the law, il Will be tall-
ure. For it to give satisfaction II IS
necessary for every political party to
~ prepared for any contingency that
may arise, and as pointed out In a
previous issue, the law contemplates
the adoption OF rules and regulations
for the party's management and guild
ance. The law should be respected
and this done now.
we have a Democratic County Cen
trail Committee, the members Of which
are the present managers OF the
party's affairs. Every Democrat Is a
stockhoIder in the Democratic party,
and it's Central Committee are their
Directors. The Committee should
meet and adopt some plan for the
party's and its various candidates
guidance in the coming primary con-
test. Though it has no chairman or
treasurer, the secretary, who is the
next highest official, can call 1t TO-
gether.
What the Democratic party wants,
az any other party should desire, ID
publicity in its affairs. No party can
have a strong and vigorous member
ship, when its policy or its purposes
are not known. The day of blindly
following a leader or party is gone
with the caucus and convention, the
voter no longer can be told what he
shall do. He must be shown what IL
best for him to do for his Country's
good.
Carroll county is naturally Demo-
cratic, not by a large, but by safe
majority. We cannot be satisfied
with this majority alone, for it may
not Be interested enough TO vote when
election day comes. 1t will not be
there if it is not interested in organ
izing its party's affairs. Let there
fore the party voters and workers
wake up to the need Of the hour, and
publicly and openly make the neces-
sary and requisite preparation for the
coming primaries and campaign. Do
not postpone this necessary work; do
it now.

THE ENCAMPMENT.

Does Westminster want the State
Militia to encamp here next summer
If it does, then some action must be
taken by the business men Of the
town to secure it, for they certainly
will not invite themselves.
Two years ago they spent ten days
with US. Their coming was feared by
many, but their conduct was such as
to make their departure regretted. i
is doubtful if more agreeable time
was ever enjoyed by the people OF
this community, and the troops, from
the humblest private to the command
ing officers, left with only pleasant
memories and happy thoughts OF
Westminster and it's people.
1t took some effort to get them and
cost us something besides. But the
money proved a good investment and
the town and county lost nothing BY
it. Other towns are after them this
year and are Offering every induce,
ment to prevail upon the State Off
Gals to visit them with the troops
Westminster need not fear that any
OF them has an advantage superior tc
the many possessed by this commun-
ity. So, if our people wish to have the
encampment next summer, now is the
time to invite our old friends to visit
us again.

NOMINATING CANDIDATES lin THE
PRIMARIES.

This il the method to be followed by
both political parties in making can
didates for office, under the new Pri-
mary Election law. 1t is, OF course,
theoretically the proper method, Civ
ing the people the opportunity of Sc
lecting their own candidates, but its
success over the old way of nominal
ting by convention will depend entire
ly upon the people themselves. That
is, whether the people will take
enough interest in the matter to make
it success There are a great many
people in every community, who are
in the habit Of crying out against the
Bosses, and declaring that everything
il "cut and dried" in the old conven-
ton system that the people had no
chance in determining who their can
didates were to be, but who, never
theless, sat idly by and did nothing
to make matters better.
There may have been some reason
for this outcry in some places, but
we do not think il can be fairly said
that this state Of things ever existed
in this county, in either party. we
think every aspirant had fair
chance before the convention, regard
having been had always for the gen
eral good Of the party
But however that may be, the PEG
pie now have the opportunity to
choose their own candidates, under
the present Primary Election Law.
VIII they avoid themselves the oppor-
tunity VIII they 80 interest them
selves In the primaries, as to show the
will OF the people In selecting candi-
dates This remains to be seen.
That it ought to be 80 there can be
no question Every man ought to take
proper interest In politics, and the
better the man, the more prominent
and influential in the community, the
more the obligation rests upon him to
do so. 1t iii becomes any man to
criticise political methods, without do
ING something to correct them.
Somebody will take charge Of the
politics OF the county and or the state,
and IL the substantial people, the tar
payers, the good people fail to do it,
, don't trouble themselves about it.
somebody will do 1T for them, and Id
such case they have no cause to object
OF criticise. They have thrown away
their own right and have ignored
their own duty. and their mouths are
shut

interest ot good government, that the

might and the means of choosing the
candidates they wish, will be given q

of drawing the bulls attention to him
