The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1873-10-18
To the Democratic Conservative Voters
Of Carroll County.

o FELLow CITIZENS On the 4th Of
November an important election win be
held for the choice Of Comptroller of the
Treasury, Clerk Of the Court Of Appeals,
four Delegates to the General Assembly,
CLERK Of the Circuit Court for Carroll eoun-
ty, Register Of Wills, Sheriff, three
County Commissioners, Treasurer and
Clerk 70 the County Commissioners, and
County Surveyor. You have by regu-
larly constituted County Convention, in ac-
cordance with usage, nominated candidates
for each Of the above named positions, and
it now remains for you to sustain your
nominees at the polls. We therefore re-
spectfully urge upon you the Importance
Of being early at the polls on election day,
and of giving your active efforts, through
out the day, to the service Of your party.
The Republican party is making siren
nous efforts to carry this county, and also
the State. It is for you to make counter
efforts 10 prevent SO great catastrophe
Let Us contemplate, for moment, what
is likely to follow Radical victory in
Maryland. IF that party should elect its
State ticket and carry the Legislature, 1t
viii secure United states Senator, the
Clerk Of the Court Of Appeals, the Comp
troIler, the State Treasurer the Board Of
Public Works, the Fish commissioners,
the Oyster Police, and the State Librarian.
II i should carry tins county, 1t would
have the control o. the otlce Of Clerk,
Register, Sheriif, county Commissioners,
Treasurer, &C.
Having secured these important adyan-
tages, the Republican party, flushed with
victory, would eau Convention and form
new constitution, at great additional ex-
pense 70 the state, 80 as 70 secure control
q the judiciary, the Public Schools, and
the Registration o. voters You will be
again placed at the mercy Of Radical
Judges Of Election, and Radical Registers,
who VIII as Eantonly strike your names
from the Registration lists, and turn you
away from the polls, as they did IN former
days; seeking no other yIndication for
their acts, than that the neeessities" of
their party demanded 1t; you will ever
lind them subseryient 70 the dictation Of
their party leaders, who know full well
that the Radical party can only hope to
control the State through corruption and
fraud. In doing all tins, that party will
not fail TO go further, and BY enaeting a
new charter for the city Of Baltimore, win
take possession OF that city through the
agency ofthe Ponce, which itwould appoint
and command. Having thus secured all
power in Maryland, It would open the
Public Schools g white and black alike,
without distinction OF races, and compel
hotels, theatres, and other public places, to
accommodate both races together, without
respect 70 color or prejudice. In addition
@ this, i would repeal the present Jury
Law, give US Negro Jurors, and enforce its
obnoxious Legislation upon an unwilling
people, BY pains and penalties. When all
th's Y accomplished, there will be an end
% the white mans supremacy IN Maryland.
This IS the Radical programme which that
party viii be forced to carry out by the
pressure Of So,vvO colored voters, who
constitute ITS real strength and power in
