The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-08-11

We publish to-day the call for the primaries
and convention to nominate il county ticket.
The primaries will be held on the 25th and
the convention on the 9th. Let the voters
remember the date Of the primaries and go to
the usual places Of meeting and see to it that
representative Democrats are chosen as dele
gates to the county convention. Let them
discountenance and put down any attempt at
a contest for delegates. The Democratic
voters, we know, are opposed to district con-
tests, and they can prevent any if they but
will to do it. Select as delegates Democrats
who prefer party success to furthering the
ambitions of any man. Select men of intelli-
gence who will act only for the good of the
party. There are such in every district, and
they should be sought out and chosen.

A LIE.

The Baltimore VindicatOr, which claims to
represent the Independent colored Republi-
cans Of the state, is published by Democrat
Many persons believe that its publication is a
trick Of the Democracy to split the coored
vote and thus save the State to the Democrats
We clipped the above from paper, called
the st. Ma1y's Enterprise, and we pronounce
the editorial false. The TindicdtoT is owned,
edited and managed by colored men, no
Democrat under the Sun ever influenced the
management Of this paper. Whenever the
colored people speak ont in meeting against
wrongs that pretending friends commit, they
are branded as Democrats. Is Internal Rev
enue Collector Hill, of Mississippi, Demo
crat, is eX-cOngreSsman Lynch, and the col
cred leaders of that State Democrats, because
they see that it is to the interest of the race
to speak out in meeting once in Il while, we
re-assert that the JiRdicdtOr is published strict
ly in the interest of the negro race, and being
thoroughly Republican.
We can not see why the mud-singer of St.
Mary's can not see it, we can no more be
Democrats as a race, than can we allow our
selves longer to subserve the interest of few
so-called Republican leaders.
The indicator is not supported by money
or Democratic brain, but by the hard earnings
of few colored gentlemen who purpose fight
ing it out on the line of demanding more re-
cognition from the hands of those who have
heretofore bOssed us to our detriment We
have sounded the alarm and will not scare
with rights and the good old p1incipLeS of the
Republican party on our side, tre WW not 90

Republican Solicitude.

Every Republican paper in the state is for
the denomination of Governor Hamilton by
the Democratic party The only explanation
ofthis is, that they know that much bitter and
determined opposition to his denomination
has been manifested in every county in the
state, and that he would be more easily beat
en- than any other candidate. Is any Demo
crat silly enough to think that the Republi-
cans desire the Democratic party to nominate
a strong man? Is any Democrat so gullible
as to believe that these same Republican pa
pers would support Gov. Hamilton for another
term? Doesn't every sensible Democrat
know that every Republican paper would adj
yocate the election of the meanest and weak
est Republican over the ablest, purest and
hest qualified Democrat? If Gov. Hamilton
were to-day the Democratic nominee, every
Republican paper would have its battery
turned upon him, and every adverse criticism
upon his course would be reprinted as argu-
ment against his reelection. They would
tell you he was chronic otlce-seeker That
he was four years in the Legislature, SIX years
in the national House of Representatives, SIX
years in the United States Senate, and Is Just
finishing four years as Governor, making
twenty wears of good Offices and heavy sala-
ries. They would tell you that he has been
for himself all the time, and only for the party
when he was the party's candidate; that he IS
a selfish and arrogant boss, and when not al
lowed to run the party has done nothing for
its success. 1t is always a safe rule for Demo
Gratis to do Just contrary to what Republicans
advise

Letter to the Governor.

4 correspondent of the Baltimore Dan ad-
dresses an open letter to Governor Hamilton,
which is full of point and good advice, He
tells the Governor that he cannot be governor
again, and advises him to retire. In regard
to the positions Mr.. Hamilton has held, and
to his greed for office, the correspondent thus
addresses him.
"Those who know you intimately know
that you have never fought for party, and
never fought for your friends; you have al
ways fought for your own hands. When you
have been making platforms, or when pri-
vately instructing politicians from different
parts of the State-whatever you have been
about, it is we'll known that you have always
been working for self. As early as 1858 the
press of Western Maryland charged you with
being chronic Offices seeker and office holder,
and your political record proves the fact.
Before you were 26 years of age you were
elected a member of the House of Delegates
and reelected in 1847. In 1913 you were
Cass elector, and in 1849 elected to Congress
and reelected in 1851, and again in 1858.
You were candidate for reelection in 1866,
but the people having become tired of your
selfish greed for office, voted you to remain
at home. You were, however, a constant
candidate for one office or another where the
chances of success were in your favor down
to 1867. In that year you were defeated IN
convention for governor by just one vote by
Hon. Oden Bowie. In 1868 you were elected
to the United States Senate, and after your
retirement with $50. 900 in your pocket, given
to you by the Democratic party in this State,
you entered the contest for governor in 1875
and were defeated for the nomination by Hon.
John Lee Carroll. AS you still desired to
feed npop and live off the corporate body of
the people as barnacles attach themselves 10
thrive upon the ships hull, you we're nomir
mated and elected governor in 1879, and now
you are trying to force yourself again upon
the party as a candidate for governor.

Mr. Michael Bannon, because he was not
permitted to boss the Democratic party in
Anne Arundel county, has declared his in
tention to defeat the ticket nominated. Mr..
Bannon went into the primaries and was
beaten. He therefore represents a minority,
and he will find that not one-tenth of those
who supported his side in the primaries will
follow him in assisting to turn the county
over to the Republicans. The Democrats of
Anne Arundel have too good q recollection
of Republican rule there to permit that party
to again get control. Influencing men within
the party Mr.. Bannon will learn, is much
easier than inducing them to place themselves
at the mercy of a few white Republicans and
host Of irresponsible and ignorant eolored
voters, such as that county has.

The Baltimore Day is a bold, aggressive
Democratic paper. tits just such an one as the
party has needed in Baltimore for many years,
and its ever increasing circulation and adver-
Using patronage is q source of qualification.
We commend it to every Democrat, and urge
them to encourage it by subscribing to it.
Whilst saying this, we would suggest to the
Day, that its opposition to Mr.. Iilden does
not touch responsive chord among the
Democrats of Maryland. They are for Tilden
now as they were in 1880, and were misrepre.
scented at the Cincinnati convention. They
admire Senator Bayard in the highest degree.
and would cordially support him were he
nominated, but no Democrat is as strong as
Mr.. Tilden or could make such an aggressive
campaign. His campaign in 1876 is without
parallel, and with the much more favorable
circumstances of 1884, he would practically
have a walk over He is the foremost states
man, all things considered, in the country
and he can enthuse the party as no other man
can. Besides, he is a practical retOrmer,
tried and found efficient, and he also would
represent the wrongs of tibet heft Of 1876. He
is more feared by the Republican party than
any other Democrat. The very mention Of
his name for president paralyses them.

1t will be nearly year before Presidential
candidates are nominated, yet there is very
much figuring among politicians upon the
chances Of various persons. Democrats are
not paying much attention to the Presidency
Just now, and are bent upon following up the
advantages gained last year. The Repubh-
can wire workers have about concluded that
their best chance is with Arthur, and he at
present has no special competitor. Conkling
and Blaine have each predicted Democratic
success next year, and no prominent Repub-
lican cares about being fgure-head in a
hopeless race Arthur desires the nomina-
lion as an endorsement from his party, and
having the machinery he will likely get it.

A Dissatisfied Colored Man.

Thomas Hamilton, of Beaufort, one of the
most prominent colored politicians in South
Carolina, has written a letter to the Ne,cs and
Courier roundly denouncing the Republican
party, and insisting that the colored man has
rights which must be respected. He advises
the colored men to vote for Democratic can
didates. He holds that his race owes nothing
to Radicalism, and adds: ''That party has
brought such disgrace on the negro name that
it will take generations to wipe it out. When
the Republicans controlled this State all that
the teachers could get for their certificates
was 40 cents on the dollar. Now, when the
state is controlled by Democrats, they are
worth one hundred cents on the dollar. Ed
ucation is the one great need of the negro
race, and the party which has given the most
aid 10 education is the one which the negro
Should support Mr.. Hamilton also SAYS
''There are about $50 white Republicans in
the state, and about 40 of them hold govern.
ment appointments. Those who are not in
office are in business, and Invariably vote the

The Stock-Breeders' Association.

The Improved Live Stock Breeders Asso-
citation of Marylan held their quarterly meet
ing on Wednesday at the Carrollton Hotel,
Baltimore A number of prominent agricul-
tursts from different parts of the state were
present. The committee on contagious cattle
diseases reported the appointment Of DR.. Il.
Ward, F. r. C. n. S., formerly Of England,
as state veterinarian. The report of the com
mittee appointed by the president to conduct
the seven days butter test of Jersey COW Value
Second, the property Of Messrs. Watts Il
Seth, of Baltimore county, was read and or
dered filed. They reported yield of %
pounds Hip ounces of well-worked unsat-
ed butter Mr.. Frank Sanderson read a paper
about the fall feeding of milk cattle. He ad-
vocated a combination of pasture and soiling
and the adaptability of orchard grass for this
purpose, the ground being first highly MANFRED
and thoroughly prepared. This was followed
by an interesting discussion. DIR. Ward read
an instructive paper upon the sanitary condi-
ton of cattle in Maryland. He advocated
the supervision Of these matters by govern
ment. The Importance of pure air in stables
and the prevention rather than the cure of
disease, the necessity for abundance of light,
the allowance of 200 to 1900 cubic feet of
space to each animal, thorough ventilation,
good drainage of stables and surroundings,
the use of disinfectants and the need for a
good supply of thoroughly pure water were
forcibly presented.
Notice was given that the proper committee
would memorabilia the next Legislature to
make important aud necessary changes in the
laws for suppression of contagious diseases.

Senator Groome carried Cecil last Saturday
against the Constable faction, winning in six
of the nine districts. The ticket nominated
on Tuesday is good one, but it is not salts
factory to all of the defeated side. Instead of
having seven hundred majority, it will not get
more than three hundred. Thus it is always
the case, where contests occur. Bitterness is
engendered and the losing side become luke
warm. To avoid contests is the only saliva
ton of the party, and it is the duty of those
Democrats who prefer party success to the
personal ambitions of any man, to put down
all who insist upon securing delegates against
the wishes of any considerable portion of the
party. No good Democrat will want to force
himself upon the party-all others should be
prevented from doing so.

The Democrats carried Kentucky as usual
last Monday, by about the regular majority.
The Republicans are so much in the minority
that there was practically no contest, and only
a light vote was polled. The Democratic
candidate for Governor was D. Proctor Knott,
whose great humorous speech in Congress on
Duluth about ten years ago convulsed the
whole country with laughter.

Kent, Anne Arundel and Cecil counties
have held their conventions to select delegates
to the State convention, and each delegation
is anti Hamilton. Cecil is said to be for Me-
Lane for Governor, but will go to Mckinney
should McLane have no chance Of election.
Kent is for Mckinney, it is claimed, and so
will be Queen Anne's, Talbot and Caroline.
Anne Arundel's delegates, as are Kents and
Cecil's, are unpledged, as every other delega
ton should be. Of course all delegates will
have preferences, but when uninstructed they
are free to confer as to the best man.
