FOR SHERIFF.
LUTHER A. MARTIN.
OUR LAST APPEAL.

DeIOre Tue next issue OF our paper CHe
election will be over-the die will be cast !!
We have so often spoken to our readers
that we feel reluctance to say anything
more on this subject, yet we feel ourselves
impelled to say word or two more. The
issue is now as it has been for years past,
between the Democratic and the Republi
can party-parties with distinct and well
defined antagonisms. 1t is true that the
Republican party approaches US in the
guise of Reform" but that is guise too
thin we hope to deceive anybody. The
ticket is one which was nominated by the
Republican party in Convention ASSEMBLE
ed, and which is supported by that party
in our midst. Whatever its partisans may
say of it elsewhere, with US it is the Re-
publican ticket. and that identity cannot
be shaken os.-Now the question present
ed to yous Esnd Charles county, will be,
whether you shall be misled by this
specious cry of Reform, or whether you
will stand by the Democratic party which
has SO long and so often stood as the con-
sentative champion of the people amidst
just such storms as these men are now
raising. Whatever may be the result of
the election in Baltimore, we, throughout
the State, have our own wrongs to right.
Baltimore city may have municipal
wrongs to right and may seek to do so by
casting heavy vote for Warfeld. We
have nothing to do with that. And it is
simply, shall we by supineness allow our
county to be carried against us9 We
firmly believe that if the county is lost
this time it will be our own fault. Our
party is united on the ticket and there is
no exception to it, and we do not think
u,s.Iny. And in the face of the
o. pe4oed4 by which We were beat two
years ago, we see no reason why, if our
friends make proper efforts to get out our
vote, that we should not be successful. We
have had this opinion from the start and
we adhere to it. All we ask our friends
is to relax no effort, but for every man to
give little time-a little effort towards
bringing out ourvote. We have no chance
of getting any help in this fight from a
broad. We must depend entirely upon
our own right arm, and the sooner we
make up our mind to that fact, the sooner
we will respect ourselves properly. Our
enemies protesting Democracy under the
guise of Reform are, as we have said before,
nothing but Republicans seizing this in
sidious manner to approah and deceive
Democrats. Yet how is it in fact9 Here
with US is not the ticket of which Mr..
Harris is the head looked upon as the Re-
publican ticket2 Is not every negro in
the county instructed that that is his tic
ket, and does he not believe that these
men are converts to Republicanism It
is idle to disguise it if we would. And
they are prophetic in this. If by any ex-
traordinary concentration of circumstan-
ces, which we hope is not within the range
of human possibilities, the so-called Re
form ticket should be elected, the effect
could be and would be nothing less than
the defeat of the Democratic party in this
State and the building up of the Radicals
Are you prepared for this, fellow-citizens
of Charles county9 Then we say to you
lose no time, but during the few days, be-
tween now and next Tuesday, woRK-and
work hard. We have endeavored to do
our duty in our feeble way. You do
yours. A long pull, a strong pull, and a
pull altogether, is all we ask.
