The Baltimc-e Sun of Friday, the 29th
Of October, 1875, contained the following
card
We most respectfully desire to call your
attention to the following address "to the
people of Maryland" published by the
Honorable Gentlemen whose names are
attached thereto at the time when j.
MORRISON HARRIS was Candidate
for Congress and yet this gentleman ap-
peals to the foreign-born citizens, and
particularly the Germans, to support him
as candidate for Governor:
TO THE PEOPLE OF BALTIMORE.
The undersigned, candidates for political
Offices, ask your consideration Of our prnci.
pies:
1st. Our object is to protect the country
from illegitimate foreign infuenc.
We propose to modify the naturalization
laws SO as to insure in the candidate for the
honor an adequate knowledge of our Ian.
gudge aud laws that he shall be imbued
with our American spirit and principles, and
weaned from his toreiqn sympathies and
prejudces. We earnestly cali upon the peo
pie to be on their guard against those insidi-
ous wiles of foreign influence, against which
Geo. Washington forwarned them. We fear
the influence of millions of foreign birth
residing in our midst, who cherish their for.
eiga sympathies and hostilities, and in our
midst create a disturbing element of past po,o-
er ,ohich may one day control our elections
and in some delicate crisis decide the fate of
the republic. We propose to repeal all laws
of Congress, or ofthe States, comforting on
naturalized emigrdnts the right Of suffrage.
J. MORRISON HARRIS,
HENRY WINTER DAVIS,
JACOB w. HUGO,
JOHN B. ASKEW,
W. II. TRAVERS, and others.
Naturalized citizens of the Second Con-
gressional District, have you one spark of
love in your bosoms for the land that gave
you birth2 If you have, then repudiate
this would-be disfranchiser of yourselves
and sons, and vote for the Democratic
nominee for Congress.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1876-10-21
]. Morrison Harris.

This great reformer has accepted the
nomination of the Republicans as a candi
date for Congress from the Second District
of Maryland. Without political habita.
tion or name he appeals to the suffrages
of the people. Hopeless of being able to
elect Radical candidate upon Radical
platform, they clutched on to the skirts Of
MIR. Harris, and allowed him to dictate
his own terms in consideration of his as.
sent to be the fgurehead in their campaign.
But the honest voters of the Second Dis
trict will not be deceived by the transparent
partisan trick, but will re-elect by hand
some majority their present faithful rep
resentative, Hon. Charles B. Roberts.
They prefer, in this era of true reform. to
support tried and trusted representative
to political weathercock who is one thing
to-day aud another thing tomorrow, and
who is willing to accept the nomination of
any party or any set of men, no matter
how corrupt, which gives promise of ele-
waiting him into place and power. We
have yet to learn of any great public good
he accomplished whilst in Congress, or of
any great public measure he originated, or
any great public service he performed en-
titling him to the gratitude and support
of the people. His Congressional record
is a blank so far as public benefits are
concerned, whilst the manner and means of
his attaining that position were blot upon
the fair name of our city and dis
grace to the political history of our State.
The very worst that was charged in re-
ference to the election in the CITY last fall,
was mere child's play to the stupendous
frauds and atrosious outrages perpetrated
to secure the election of Mr.. j. Morrison
Harris to Congress in 1855. But we
draw veil over the damning record of
the past, and hope never to see its repcti
tion in the future. In this election, how
ever, the city will have nothing to do and
we have no doubt that the honest farmers
Of the counties will see to it that an hon.
EST and faithful Democrat will be chosen
70 represent them, one who will act in full
communion with his party, and through
he supremacy of its principles to advance
ind secure the best interests of his people.
thus j. Morrison Harris will undoubtedly
20 elected to remain at home, and Charles
3. Roberts be returned to the seat he now
10 worthily occupies-Baltimorc CAM
'aiga Democrat.

in the wisdom and justice of their decision.

Ohio and Indiana.

The Lawrence, Mass. Sentinel publish
ed the following, several days before the
Ohio and Indiana elections:
When Tilden was nominated at St.
Louis it was generally regarded, even by
Democrats, as an abandonment Of the at.
tempt to carry most of the Western States,
particularly Ohio and Indiana, and stak.
ing the Democratic chances in the Prcsi.
dental fight upon success in New York.
Connecticut, New Jersey, California and
Oregon with the border and Southern
States. The nomination Of Hayes seemed
to insure Ohio to the Republicans with
the chances considerably in their favor in
Indiana. Should these States therefore
go Republican next Tuesday the Demo-
Gratis will suffer no disappointment in their
original calculations and they will enter
the decisive fight of November with an
ticipations of victory.
But the progress of the campaign has
put different face on the prospects and
to-day the Democrats claim an even chance
with the Republicans in both the States
named Should the Democrats carry
either State the decisive fight of the great
campaign will have gone in their favor
and the only question will be by how large
a majority Of the electoral college Tilden
and Hendricks will be chosen. Even as
it is already shown to be, the closeness Of
the contest, with the whole power of the
Federal administration exerted desperate.
ly in favor of the Republicans, proves the
strength and earnestness of the popular
hostility to the party in power. Remove
from the influences of the canvass the
power Of the Administration and its hun
dred thousand office-holders and two thirds
Of the States would 60 Democratic in No
vember. We except to carry enough as
it stands.

head be referred his hearers to the letters

DEMOCRATIC RETRENcHMENT IN A
SINGLE YEAR.-The estimates made by
the Republican heads of departments for
the current year amounted to 5000, ,099,-
025. The Democratic House allowed
them only s138,752,340 but the Senate
increased it to s158,260,59s. This sum
was reduced by the House to s147,7l9,-
074, which was the amount of the appro-
priations actually made. The House thus
reduced the appropriations $4,000, ,253
below those Of the last year, and $685.
379,95l below the estimates for this year.
The reduction would hayc been sl0,000,-
900 greater if il had not been for the
obstinacy Of factious State.

REFORM.



Como forward, join the shout,
That rings among our hills;
Reform our land throughout
From all the gloomy ills
That have bound her as q chain,
Forged by her children's hands;
Reform, the cry Of this campaign,
The wetchword Of all lands.
In silence shall we stand
As In the years now past,
While clouds gather Ger the land,
From which no light Is cast
No, strike the clouds away,
Drive dark dlshonor back:
Tear from our robber hOrdes their prey
Az victim from tho rack.
Shall they whom we've honored
Rob and oppress US more:
TIL our Country's name dishonored,
Is by-word for ench shore?
No, shout till you shake the sky,
unnerye the traitorous band
Reform and Tilden be the cry,
The signal of our land.
Come forward Join the shout,
For Iilden and Reform;
Drive our oppressors out
with parting message warm;
And bid our Country fair
Look up and smile again,
In peace and freedom freed from care:
And the wiles Of wicked men.

Look at the Difference /

We invite the attention of honest Re
publicans and honest Democrats to the
following array Of Figures showing the diff.
ference in the expenses of the "White
House" under Democratic and Republican
rule, viz
Expenditures during four years
Democratic rule from 1857 to
1861. $213 OPS 90
Expenditures during seven years
OF Republican power and mis-.
rule from March A, 1860, to
March 4, ls76....,~.............. s4s, ,es2. 25

Average annual expenditure un.
der Republican rule...............$l21, ,2s4. 60
Average annual expenditure un-
der Democratic rule. 5s.257. 90
Average annual saving under
Democratic administration. S6s,027 .25
It will be seen by the above statement
which is taken from the official records.
that the expense Of the "White House,
per year is more than double as much un-
der Republican rule as il is under Demo
cratic rule. Ye taxpayers and men who
want an economical administration Of the
affairs Of our government, you can see for
yourselves from the above statement which
party is the most extravagant and which
Is the most economical. If YOU are in
favor of economy you must support the
Democrat party and Tilden aud Hendricks
the Reformers, and Ii you are in favor Of
