Services of the Colored Voters to
the Republican Party.

OF the sixty-eight hundred voters in Car
/ roll, about thirty-six hundred are Democrats
and thirty-two hundred Republicans. Of the
Republican voters, five hundred are colored.
Upon full straight vote of each party, the
| Democrats have nearly four hundred MAORI
ty, and about nine hundred majority on the
white vote 1t is evident, then, that with the
colored vote eliminated from the Republican
party, that party would be hopelessly i'll the
minority Several times in the past ten years,
when personal votes were given, the Repub
licans have succeeded in electing one of their
candidates. Mr.. Isaac c. Bale has been
twice elected judge of the Orphans Court,
and Mr. George N. Fringer has been twice
elected Sheriff Neither of these gentlemen
had much majority, and but for the solid col
ored vote of five hundred, would have been
defeated by several hundred. Last year
Judge Smith carried Carroll, but he, too,
would have failed by several hundred except
for the colored voters. 1t is evident, then,
that the colored voters have twice elected a
Judge of the Orphans Court, twice elected a
Sheriff and elected Judge of the Circuit
Court. They have also voted the Republican
ticket straight without why or wherefore for
thirteen years, and carried five positions for
their party. For this service, however, they
have not had any recognition. They have not
been offered any places on the Republican
ticket, nor have they been given any subor-
dinate positions. They have applied, we are
informed, for subordinate positions in the
Circuit Court, but have failed to secure them,
and they were entirely overlooked in the Sc
lection of the jury for the May term, as not
one name of II colored man was put in the
box.
The Republican party in giving the coIorcd
man the ballot, confessed their belief in his
capacity to participate in government. If
they regarded him as unfit at first to take po-
sitions Of trust, it is a poor compliment to
their own capacity as teachers and leaders If
they do not now, after thirteen years of tute
lage, consider them fit. The colored men of
Carroll should test the sincerity of their white
brethren, by asking one or more places on the
Republican ticket next Tuesday. They have
elected the only Republican candidates that
have been elected in Carroll and they should
now ask that their services be rewarded by a
nomination of one or more of their most ca
pable men. Their white friends will not offer
them places, for they preach one thing and
practice another, but they should now be
put to the test. Whilst the colored men in
Baltimore and elsewhere are demanding re-
cogntion, the faithful colored men Of Carroll
should act also.

The Republican Dependence.

The Republican party of Maryland relies
solely upon money for success. principle
actuates them-they are for power and plum
der alone. Upon their merits alone, it is
doubtful if they could carry a single county.
They will more than ever rely upon money
this year. Having secured a rich man for
Governor, who will expend his own and can
command the use of other money beside,
they are now looking about for rich man to
nominate for Mayor of Baltimore. The only
recommendation of Mr.. Holton for nominee
for Governor is his money and his willingness
to expend it. If he were poor he would not
be thought of among the bosses. 1t was
Christian AXIS known wealth that led the
bosses to solicit the use of his name for the
nomination for Mayor of Baltimore. Wealth,
with a willingness to use it, will be the chief
recommendation ofthe candidates for comp
troller and Encouragement. No poor man,
no matter what his merits, will be thought of,
if wealthy men can be induced to serve. 1t
will be so in the selection of county candi-
dates.

Roberts for Governor.

The Democratic primary meeting, of Free
dom district, on August unanimously adopt
ed the following preamble and resolutions,
presented by E. NJ. Shipley:
WHEREAS, The time for the meeting of the sta tc
convention is near at hand, and whereas several
distinguished gentlemen have been named in con.
nection with the Office of Governor; and whereas il
is not our purpose desire to dsparage theiI
claims or detract from their merits but be it
RGsoLred That the Hon, G. Il, Roberts, ofthis coun-
ty, is our choice for Governor:
RcSOiped, That he possesses not only in pre- emf
nent degree the Jeersonian qualifications of hon
esty and capacity, but he is personally popular
from the fact that he has never been identified with
any ring, clique, faction combination, but has
ever stood forth nealously sustaining the right and
boldly condemning the wrong, whenever or by
Yhomever committed.
ResOlred That aside from the better qualifications
of our candidate. Carroll county has a claim upon
the Democratic party that should be considered by
the state convention, in the fact that have never
had candidate from this county the state ticket
and while several of her sister counties i'll the past
have temporarily yielded to the seductive wiles OF
the enemy Carroll county has been true to the De-
mocracy and faithful to the principles of the i'm
mortal jackson.
ResOlred That having such excellent material fol
and so strong claim upon the convention, we will
look with confidence to the result.
esolUcd That these resolutions SC, be published

Political N otes.

The New York Democratic state executive
committee, at its meeting at Saratoga on
Thursday, took steps in the direction of Sc
curing harmony among the rival factions Of
the New York city Democracy.
The Raleigh, N. c., News and Observer
publishes IL card from eX-Gov William W.
Holden, Withdrawing from the Republican
party and stating that he is not a member Of
the liberal party. Ex-Gov. Holden was pro-
visional Governor Of North Carolina, and was
then elected to the same Office. Being i'm
peached, he left the state and became one of
the editors of the Chronicle, at Washington
d. c. For the past ten years he has lived at
Raleigh.
Mr. Samuel F. Maddox, Republican and
coalitiOnist, was recently nominated for the
Virginia Senate for the district composed of
the city of Manchester and the counties of
Chesterfield, Powhatan and Goochland. But
the nomination was Objectionable to Senator
Malone, so a fragment of the convention was
reassembled, and Maddox was taken off the
ticket and another name was substituted
Maddox, however, refuses to leave the track
at the 'behest of little clique Of would
leaders and masters of the people,, so with
'hiS flag nailed to the mast" he says he is
entering vigorously into the canvass and that
it will be no fault of his if success does not
follow.
Mr.. John Kelly has written a letter to a
friend in Jefferson City, Mo-, in which he
says ''In my opinion we should not be too
decided in our opinions relative to the presi,
dental canvass. We should nominate those
who are most available and popular with the
people and whose records can stand the test
of investigation. If the old ticket should be
nominated, the question for us to decide in
our best Judgment is whether we could sue
coed or not. SO far as right is concerned,
men ought to act Oh their convictions Of right
and blot out the disgraceful record that our
opponents made against US in 1877 in Con-
gress. There have been published in the
Eastern papers articles headed Historical
Justice. This probably means that the old
ticket should be nominated. Should it be
nominated, it will be supported with as much
yigor and effort as that made in 1876 by us. ="

The Democratic candidates on the State
ticket, it is intimated, will challenge their
Republican opponents to discussion of the
Issues of the canvass on the stump with them.
That would be proper and by all means should
be done. Let the Republican champions be
brought face to face with the Democratic
nominees before the people. Let them be
made to explain the fraud Of 1876, the star
route frauds, the naval contracts, the Credit
Mobilier job, the Chorpenning job, and the
thousand other frauds and jobs perpetrated
by the Republican party, by which the people
were defrauded out of millions of dollars.
Let them be reminded, too, of their high
handed acts and prosecutions in this State
from 1861 to 1867.

Dorchester and Somerset counties have
each chosen anti Hamilton delegates to the
state convention, making nine that have de-
clared against him, and so far none are for him.
The opposition to Governor Hamilton is
against the man and his intolerance, not
against his measures entirely. Many of his
recommendations and views are good, and
will be carried out. McLane, Roberts, Nc
Kinney or Archer can do more than the Gov
ernor, but they would suggest and advise, not
undertake to drive. They would listen to
honest difference of opinion; not denounce
those who express them. They would con-
suit with the Democrats of the Legislature;
not drive ahead regardless of them. They
would recognize other men; not consider that
they are the only Democrats, and try to be
dictatOrs

MEssRs. EDITORS The Public School Teachers of
Carroll county wish to know if the present School
Board proposes TO continue the five dollar per term
assessment they did last year and if they do are
we not as teachers in said county entitled to a full
published statement of the finances of the School
Board showing why they compelled to assess the
already too meagre salary of the teacher?
We had the promise last year of published state
ment which would satisfy the teacher of the ueces-
sity of this assessment, but such statement has
never been published. The teachers of Carroll
should certainly fully understand why they are re-
quired to bear this burden.
We would also like to ask if is far play to turn
TEACHER down for simply protesting against the in
justice of the five dollar assessment and should such
things exist III an intelligent county like Carroll
Shouldn't teachers be free to express their opinion
when they see the necessity for reform, &c? Ought
not a School Board to be in a position to receive
suggestions from all reliable sources for betering
orr Public Schools?
Wishing for information i'm regard to the above
we remain respectfully yours. PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
