and vote for ten delegates to meet in Leonard

wilfully stays away and takes no interest in
the primaries Is dereliet in his duty and will
have no right TO complain IL men untitled for
the positions should be nominated. But il il

interest and stay st home are the ones who

Now, every democrat should go 70 the polls
on the Sth and vote; he will Only lose A few
hours and then he can return home with a
clear conscience and 20 TO his virtuous bed

has done his duty to the best Of his ability.
But should he neglect this opportunity 10 do
right and stay at home and there be bad NOM

NJ. AGAIN.-As NJ. has politely ask
ed us, why gentlemen like Mr.,
Graves will have no political future,
If the ideas Of the Va'dicatOr prevail,
he is entitled to the courtesy Of an
answer, if answer we are able TO make.
We give this as a reason for referring
TO this subject again. And now to
the answer. NJ. will admit, We sup
pose, that If the colored voters of st.
Mary's county, for instance. had with
held their support from Mr.. Graves
when he was late a candidate for the
Legislature he could not have been
elected. He will also admit, we sup
pose, if this support be withheld from
Mr.. Graves in the future, he cannot be
elected, white public sentiment contin-
uing as it is. But what is true of Mr..
Graves is true of gentlemen "like Mr..
Graves" that is, that neither he nor
another Of like politics can be elected
in this county without che aid of the
great mass of the colored vote. Now,
the underlying idea of the Vindieator
Is, or was, to segregate the colored
from the white republican vote and
in future conventions of the party to
demand representation in Office and
honors according to republican voting
population. This will not, we admit
necessarily exclude Mr.. Graves and
gentlemen like him from public hon.
Ors, but it will greatly diminish their
chances Of getting them. But this is
not all nor the worst. The VIndieatOr
eversince the issue of its initial number
has been preaching a bitter crusade
against present Ichite minority rule in
the republican party of Maryland.
1t proclaims that, though a republi-
can journal, it is opposed to the re-
publican party as now bossed and con-
stituted in Maryland" at charges
that the republican party regards the
negro as 90 much political property,
that it breaches equality of privileges
for all men, and does not practice it,
and that It's practices are not in ac-
cord with the platform of principles
enunciated by the National Republic
can party" 1t further contends,
that the republican party of Mary
land "has failed to advocate anything
in the interest of our race, that it has
never aided our educational interest
as party, that whilst it breaches
that no discrimination should be made
against a man on account of his colcr.
it practices that discrimination
against the negro'-''it teaches BY
practical performance that the negro
should do the voting and the white
man alone should enjoy the emOlu-
ments Of office" Through corrupt
and fraudulent promises it prevents
our representation in the councils of
the party, because our skins are Of a
dark hue, and it dominates men for
Office without regard TO their moral
fitness. intellectual qualifications or
