Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser., 1882-06-23
Address of the Democratic Central
Committee.
To the Democratic Voters of Charles Co.
Fell0ec Citizens:

Fellooc Citizens:
The time is now rapidly approaching
when, under the Act of Assembly of Maryland
passed at the last session, it will become the
imperative duty of every citizen Of our county
and State to have his name registered among
the qualified voters, in order to entitle him to
vote at the important elections to be held this
fall. The effect OF chapter % of the laws pas
sed at the late session, entitled Gan Act to
provide for the uniform Registration of Voters
in this State is to entirely annul and dispense
with the registration lists now existing, and to
make it incumbent upon every qualified voter
to apply in person 10 the officer of Registration
in his election district and have his name en-
rolled upon a nesc list of qualified voters. All
who fail to do this AT one of the days of public
sitting to be advertised by the Registrars, will
be deprived Of the right to vote this fall
In view of this important legislation, and
the imperative necessity of having every Dem
ocratic voter in our county qualified to cast his
ballot this fall, the Central Committee have
deemed it incumbent upon them to adopt this
method of calling the attention of our voters 10
this most important question, and to urge upon
every citizen who has the welfare of the COM
munity at heart TO exert himself TO that
the name of no Democratic voter in the county
is omitted from the new registration lists.
The electious 10 lie held this fall are of very
important character. There is every reasona-
BILE prospect that the Federal House of Repre-
sentatives will, by the elections of this fall, be
again placed under Democratic control. Heavy
Democratic gains in Northern and Western
States are assured and as measure Of off
setting this manifest and onceded IS of their
party, the Republican managers propose to
make desperate effort to carry a number Of
districts in the South This, it is said, is one
of the districts they will thus endeavor to car
nv for that purpose. They are only embolden-
ed to hope for such result here by presuming
mon Democratic loss to result from failure
TO register under the new law. 1t weuld GER
tainly be a source of deep and lasting regret
and self-reproach to any conscientious citizen,
to know that, at the very auSpicious moment
when his party, so long struggling as minor
itv, passed triumptantly and permanently into
control of the Government, his own district
was surrendered TO the Republicans in conse-
ouence of his own criminal neglect of duty in
faiing 10 register and vo;e. In addition to
this the Democratic voters of this Judicial
Circuit will be called upon this fall TO make
an earnest and united effort 10 maintain the
Gi gnitv, the purity and the ability of the Bench
of the Circuit, involving as it does the dearest
rights and most sacred liberties of the people.
In view of these most important coLsdera-
tions, the committee earnestly hope that nc
Democrat in Charles county who is otherwise
qualified will fail to registered his
mama as voter The first sitting of the
Registrars is now advertised TO commence on
the 18th of July, proximo; 10 be followed by
similar sittings in August and September. AS
the future sttings of the officers will be pro-
badly held in different places from those now
advertised, it is earnestly recommended TO all
who live within reach of the places of sitting
now advertised, 10 avail themselves Of these
first days and see their names duly registered.
