Initiation. Repwdiatjon. Free T,o,,,

Initiation, Reputation, Free Trade.
The people who cherish honest sentiments and
patriotic regard for the welfare of their fellows
can find very little in the Democratic victories at
the October elections to encourage them. Ifthere
were any policies triumphant by virtue of those
Democratic victories they were Intuition, Repudi.
alton and Free Trade. If the Democracy is com
mltted to anything, it is squarely committed to
these. If honest, patriotic Democrats can find
any consolation in these let them make the most
oft.
Imitation OF the currency means the further in
fation Of all values. 1t means not only imitation
OF values and prices, but it also means an insta-
oIiity in these values and prices When prices
are unstable the man who sells goods fears when
ne has laid in new stock that decline in price
may bankrupt him before he sells off the stock.
In order to save himself he puts on all the profit
possible to start with And this once done he
keeps it mp as long as possible. He would prefer
to make profit of one hundred dollars on a mr.
chase OF one thousand than to lose TWENTY-FIVE
dollars. This all operates against the poor man
who is Obliged TO purchase If goods advance
after the merchant lays in his stock, he Of course
advances his prices accordingly. This makes the
merchant a gambler and the Purchasing poor
man has to pay heavy advance for the risk that
an inflated currency brings TO the merchants
business
Reputation is endorsed openly by the Democ-
racy of both Ohio and Indiana-and of BALTIMORE
county. Reputation means the refusal OF the
government TO pay the bonds in gold in accord
ance with the government promise and the law
Of the land. Reputation means the utter ami
hilation ofthe National banks This means bank
ruptcy-universal aud fearful in its consequences
The hundreds of thousands of people who have
their pittances in banks and the banks having
them invested in United States bonds will lose all
that they have saved for old age and necessity.
Free Trade means a wholesale destruction Of
American industry 1t stops our spindes; ex-
tinguishes our forge fires; brings our looms 10

come turns thousands Of lshoring peopl.- out al
employment bringing pinchlng van. to their

Two years ago Maj A. NJ. Hancock was defeat
majority. There were more Republicans than
this who remained at home on election day If
every man had fulfilled bis duty We should have
had Republican instead Of Democratic Repre-
sentative from the I'd district Weare confident
that there were ten Republicans in each election
district on an average who did not vote. Ii these
ten voters had given half day to their country,
the result would have been changed. Each one
considered that as there was no chance for an
election-asMey thoaght-there would be no harm
in staying at home. This criminal apathy was
more damaging than the epizooty. We are well
satisfied that every Republican who remained at
home then regretted it afterwards They would
all have voted if they had been convinced that
their votes would have elected Maj Hancock
With this lesson before you, fellow Republicans,
we sincerely trust that none of you will be found
delinquent in the discharge Of his sacred duty on
election day. 1t is net very probable-but it is
possible-thet the Speakership of the next House
of Representatives may depend upon one vote
That vote may be cast By the member from the
I'd district of Maryland. If that vote is for the
Democratic instead Of the Republican candidate
for Speaker, every Republican who remains away
from the polls will be responsible for the conse-
quences. Those consequences may be great
The Speaker appoints all the committees. The
committees shape legislation and control the pol
icy of the government TO large extent. And
the Democrats tell US with great deal of nom
chalauce that the next Congress will elect the
next President If Democratic President is
elected by one vote in the House and Mr. Ensor,
or any other of the Maryland candidates, is de-
feated simply because Republicans did not vote,
every non-voting Republican will be personally
responsible for this direful calamity to the coun-
try.
In 1859 the Republicans elected their first
Speaker of the House of Representatives. They
spent two months in the contest Maryland's
noblest statesman and patriot informed the clerk
that be need not call his name until his vote
would elect Speaker. AT the expiration of two
months Mr.. Pennington, OF N. j., required but
one vote to make him Speaker. The clerk then
called the name of the illustrous Henry Winter
Davis. His melodious voice rang out clear and
PenRingtonN The Democratic party
has not elected a Speaker or President since
Think of the power and influence Of one vote
and then go to the polls.

MS-In 1868 Horace Greeley said "a Conserva-
tive Democrat is an incarnate contradiction
Conservatism halts hesitatcs, trembles, doubts
and turns its gaze wistfully to the past. Dem
ocracy advances, is confident, is bold, is de
cided and looks hopefully to the future: but a
Conservative Democrat must have one eye at
least in the back of his head, weeping for ex-
tinct despotism, while with his other eye in his
forehead he marks the signs of human advance
ment." This is the language of the last Dem
ocratic candidate for President of the United
States. If any Conservative Democrat could
vote for the man who described him thus, we
can see no reason why he could not vote for
Mr.. Ensor or any other of the Republican can
didates for Congress in the State of Maryland.

The Democratic papers Of Western Mary
land have demonstrated their sacred regard for
the truth by asserting that Frederick Douglass
was opposing the election of Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes. On 9th inst, Fred. Douglass ad-
dressed letter to the editor of the Cumberland
Ne,0s in which he asserts that he is decidedly
and emphatically in favor of the election of
Mr. Lowndes and should vote for him if he
(Douglass) lived in the district"

N3-ln 1861 our Democratic fellow citizens
declared that thew could not cultivate cotton
without slave labor. They appealed to the ma
tional conscience TO desst from any course that
would abolish slavery, because slavery was es-
sential to the cultivation of cotton. Yet in
1873 the statistics show that the cotton crop
of that year was larger than that OF 186O.--
This could not be unless the colored man did
the work.

Horace Greeley said "the utter impotence
and paralysis into which the once powerful
Democratic party has fallen is evinced in many
ways, but in none more strikingly than in the
character of its lies and liars" Democratic
fellow-citizens, you voted for Horace Greeley af-
ter he assailed your party thus. Any man who
could vote for the man who gave him broad
side like this, can find nc just ground for not
voting for any of the Maryland Republican
candidates for Congress

How THE WHITE LEAGUEas WORK The Ala
bama State journal opies from the Greensborough
Beacon, a Democratic sheet published in that
State, the following card, of which il gives sug-
gestive history:
CARD.

Republican party. never belonged to secret
league of any kind | never intend to have any
more to do with politics. feel and know that
am white man. and for the future | intend TO
live and die white man. try to stay at home

"P W. STRINGFELLow.
'aale county, Sept. 26, 1874"
Mr.. Stringiellow lives about nine miles from
Greensborough, has been a Republican leader,
bold in the expression OF his views, and while the
Ku Klux were SO busy a few years ago, suffered
numerous ourages at their hands, being Obliged
to hide continually He taught school ior ne
groes, and for this ofense his school house was
burned Recently the White Leaguers began to
give him repetition of his experience with the
Ku Kux On the night of the 18th ut. he WAS
visited by about Fl teen OF the outlaws They
reached his house at midnight While the rest
OF the party concealed themselves ia the vicinity
one Of them went TO the door, and calling String
fellow from his bed. got him. under the pretex
that his aid was needed by distressed traveller,
out Of the house and into the ambuscade. String
fellow went out, accompanied by his colored hoy
On going about hundred yards from The house
STlngtellow found himself surrounded by armed
men, who, after abusing and threatening him TO
the top of their bent, compelled him 20 pledge
himself to publish and to post by The roadside,
his remuneration Of the Republican party, and to
do various other things. Promising that if he
violated his pledge they would return in three
days and kill him, the party rode off. Such, the
&zte Journal says, is the history Of the above
card, for the Withholding OF which it gives the
Beacon deserved rebuke. This is bat one speci
men of the manner in which the "white man S
party" of the South seeks to suppress the honest
expression of opinion, and by reign OF terror &c
compel victory for the Bourhons.

NJ The Democrats complain of"hard times"
and endeavor to make the Republican party
responsible for the existing condition of things.
Yet they are in favor of Free Trade and OPP
posed to protective tariff. They would abol-
ish the tariff if they could. DR.. Henkle has
been bold enough to declare from the stump
that this is where he stands. Other Democrat
c candidates in the State have been more pru-
dent in their declaration of principles. This
policy would make "hard times" harder. 1t
would stop our manufactures and throw thous-
ands out of employment. Instead of spend
ing our money at home in our own country to
purchase goods of our own make, it would ell
go to enrich the already rich manufactures of
England, France and Germany. Felow-citi-
zens, if you desire to spend your money in the
United States and keep it here, encourage
home manufactures by sound protective tar

Times of a recent date says
"Mrs. Levenia Dugan, widow of the late
Thomas Dugan, was married to Hon. Elias
Ware of Baltimore on the 18th inst There is
propose to tell. la their younger days they
were betrothed, but the course of true love,
which the poets tell us never did run smooth,
sundered them and Levenia Mackey became
Levenia Dugan. Mr.. Ware married another
lady and returned to Maryland. Since then
he has been frequently honored by the people,
and was at one time Speaker of the Mary land
House of Delegates. Mr.. Ware lost his wife
some time since, and last fall Mrs. Dugan be
came q widow the broken threads of love were
gathered up, and a marriage was the result
Quite number of invited friends of the bride
in this city were present at the marriage cere-
mony."
Mr.. Ware is well-known in this county,
where he has a number of relatives. He is an
uncle Of VIM. M. Isaac, Esq, of Towsontown.
Gsg~ No effort or means should be spared by
the Republicans in Mr.. Lowndes' district to
see that every vote is put in the box. Voting
is duty every man owes to himself. He can
not allow any personal feeling of his towards
the candidate stand between him and his duty
to his country and the principles he espouses.
ny Every man who favors obedience to she
laws, the full protection of the American citi-
zen everywhere and the prosperity of the whole
country, should vote for the Republican candi-
date for Congress.

DEAD PATRIOTS patriotic Democracy has
been faithful to its nobles aspirations in the 18th
ward of Baltimore city. The registration list in
that ward is amply supplied with the names of
dead men, men who "never lived there, F." men
who removed from the ward two, three and four
years ago. The voting list procured from the
Clerk of the Superior Court shows 5,207 names.
Henry n Bankard, Republican candidate for City
Council in that ward, took these names and ad
dressed postal card to each one to the residence
given him on the list Out Of the first two hun
dred and seventy names the letter carriers Of the
post-office returned eightythree with the nforma-
ton that these men were dead" two, three and
four years ago. This ties; shows that nearly one
third of the names on the list in the 18th ward
are not represented by voters. This gives the op-
portuuity of achieving Democratic victories with
outmuch difficulty, All that is required is for a
dozen or two repeaters to perform patriotic duty
on election day by voting "early and often" -
This explains the defeat Of Mr.. Bankard in that
ward for City Council. The record of that ward
is only fair specimen of the registra ton lists
everywhere. The disposition of the Democracy
to have all patriots vote On election day is demon
strated by their determination to retain all the
names possible on the lists. Last winter the Re-
publicaus in the Legislature introduced a bill
providing for new registration TO lie conducted
by board of three, one of whom should be OF
the minority party, to be designated by the State
Central Committee of that party. To defeat this
bill the Democracy introduced the one that is now
the law and retained the old list filled with dead
mems names. That party exercises great respect
for dead patriots.
