The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-11-24

Total 1897 81, 987 Is, S81 1861
democratic majority, Is.
It viii be observed that this list embraces
the famous Northern Tier and nearly all the
Western counties, the sections in which Re
publicanism in this state had its birth. and
which for twenty-five years never filltered in
devotion to the party and its candidates. The
record here shown is, indeed, startling one,
and it can not wisely be ignored; neither can it
be explained away. The relative party vote
affords no satisfactory solution of the problem.
1t cannot be regarded as only temporary
change, when three years. results, since the
Presidential election, are given, and the
downward tendency is to be noted in each.
1t cannot be attributed to temporary local
causes, when the territory concerned extends
over one-half the state. There must be a
deep-rooted and widespread cause for this re-
vulsion, and it is easily discovered The
trouble dates from the Senatorial contest of
1881, when such determined effort was
made to ignore the rights of the people and to
defy the popular will. The Independent
movement that was the outgrowth of this
struggle with the machine had its greatest
strength in the section herein referred to,
and was the result of deap-seated conviction
that the time had come when heroic measures
must be adopted to relieve the Republican
party of the incubus of bossism. And so the
blow was struck in 1881, repeated in 1882 and
again partially repeated in 1888. 1t was not
the state ticket that was aimed at this year,
but the odious and still defiant power behind
and responsible for the Stalwart apportion-
ment obstruction policy of the majority in
the State Senate. The intelligent Republican
voters of the North and West know what the
unconstitutional and revolutionary ultimatum
MEANS and who is intended to be the benei-
ciary thereof, and so they renewed, in as di-
rect a way as was possible, their protest.
And if they thus protested in 1883, what will
be their verdict in 1884, when the question
will come squarely before them, provided no
apportionment is made? The terms of nine
Republican Senators, now supporting the ul-
timatum, who thus misrepresent districts
within the territory mentioned, expire next
year; and what may be expected if they
continue to trample upon the supreme law
and the rights of the people? The Republi-
can party cannot hope to carry the Legislature
next year in the face of such revolt as this,
and the vote upon the Presidential ticket
would be imperiled in consequence. 1t is
seen that the state on Tuesday went Demo
cratic outside of Philadelphia, and very
large proportion of the old-line Democratic
vote in Berks, Northampton, Lehigh, York,
Clearfield, Centre and other rock ribbed Dem
ocratic counties. that always comes out every
four years, was not at the polls. Shall these
facts be ignored and new danger in 1884 be
deliberately invited? The ultimatum must go
before the Republican party in Pennsylvania
can read its title clear to victory next year.

Mahone's Base ISLANDERS.

Gen. Malone has issued an address ito the
Readiuster party Of Virginia" but it was
mainly intended for circulation in the North,
and il was written to raise sectional issues
and to revive past bitterness and enmity. 1t
is full Of blood, murder and massacre. Ma
hone charges that intimidation of the colored
voters, by cold blooded murder in several
counties, and particularly in Danyille, coupled
with corruption and the use of money, caused
his overthrow. In enlarging upon these he
SAYS they are but the repetition of ku-klux
outrages and the intimidations Of the White
League in states further south in the days OF
reconstruction and following.
No greater outrage was ever perpetrated
upon state and people than Gen. Malone
has attempted in this false, wicked and mali
cious address. He has deliberately perverted
facts and drawn upon his imagination for IN
famous falsehoods in order to smooth over
his overwhelming defeat and to fire the heart
of the Northern people for the contest of 1884.
Gen. Wickham, Chairman of the Republl-
can State Committee, and Congressman Dez-
endorff, Republican, each pronounce Ma
homes letter tissue of falsehoods, while a
committee of forty citizens of Danyille, after
a week S investigation, give the denial, in an
address, to all that Malone charges as to the
riot at that place.
The Democratic and Republican state com
mittees will each, very likely, issue addresses
upon Mahone's infamous ISLANDERS and false
hoods

Oh. Please Don't I

From the Ner York World.
Now, we appeal to our amiable neighbor,
the Tribune, If it is not just l-e-e-tle too
early to commence the East Felciana and
Eliza Pinkston business for Che campaign of
1892 You know, dear Tribune, that the
''bloody shirt was washed out eight years
ago ; that the raw head and bloody bones of
the kuKlux Khan disappeared with the thiev-
ish Republican carpet baggers soon after Hayes
stole the Presidency, and that the shot gun
and tissue ballot humbug has served its turn
and gone to rest with other Republican ro-
mances. If you go to work at this early stage
of the Presidential campaign tearing your
hair, rolling your eyes, beating your breast
and shouting for ..be-lood = and ''r-r-re-
yenge - you will not only exhaust yourself
before the real struggle commences, but you
will shake the public belief in your professions
of satisfaction with the result Of the recent
elections.
You know very well, dear Tribune, that
your little demagogue Malone, tried his best
to create a race riot at Danville and other
places in Virginia in order to save himself
from the humiliation he could see was await
ing him at the recent election. He failed
because the negroes, under the process OF
education and the fair, liberal treatment they
receive from the Democracy of the South,
nave dSSefIeu their nlannOOu anu are no longer
the political chattels of Republican sealawags.
If SO few of them voted your Arthur Malone
combination ticket in Virginia it was not be-
cause they were terrified but because they are
enlightened. They are now able to under
stand the trouble into which the tricky and un-
scrupulous Readjuster would have enticed
/ them.
Besides, how silly to raise the cry of the
''solid South just at this particular moment
! You object to the making of a Democratic Pres
ident by the ''solid South when it represents
1913 legal and intelligent votes in the Electoral
College. This you call Southern dictation. .
Yet you want the ''solid delegation of the
''solid South to vote for Arthur nomination
in your National Convention and thus to force
candidate on the Republicans of the North,
although your party will not have single
electoral vote from the Southern States.
This, of course, you do not call Southern
dictation.'i
1t is all humbug, dear Tribune. You may
tear yourself to pieces, but you cannot get up
'bloody shirt and ''solid South crusade
for 1884. The people will laugh at the at
| tempt,

The DECISIVE vote in One Senate.


The ADVOCATE urged upon the Democrats
of Carroll during the late canvass the impor-
lance Of eIecting the Democratic candidate
for Senator, for the reason thatthe next Sem
ator from. CarrollwouId assist in electing two
United States Senators, and for the further
reason that his vote might be the decisive one
in determining the control of the Senate 1t
has happened just as we predicted. By rea-
son ofthe excellent management and consoli-
dation ofthe colored vote in counties where
the colored population nearly equals the white,
the Democrats lostSenators in Calvert and So
mersct, and by discussions in the party lost
Senators in Anne Arundel and Kent. We
gained Senator in Frederick county and
another in Washington county. The next
Senate will stand IA Democrats to II Repub-
licans. Had Judge Bale been elected the
Senate would have been tie. As it is, Mr..
Shriver's vote determines the control Of that
body and makes it Democratic. The Cover
nor, in consequence, viii not be hampered in
the appointment of officials, and Democratic
legislation will not be defeated by Repub-
lican Senate.

1t is true that Carroll has the lowest tax
rate of any county in the State, and her finan,
cial condition is excellent, but her school
teachers are paid less than those of any other
county. and it seems difficult matter to re-
tain good men in the schools. We have had
no less than five changes in the Union Bridge
public school in the last two years.-URton
Bridge Inder.
Our esteemed contemporary is mistaken IN
regard to the compensation of teachers in
Carroll as compared to the salaries of those
elsewhere. The last annual report of Super
intendent Newell will show that the teachers
of this county are paid more per term than
those of any other county, with four or five
exceptions. 1t is fact, too. that the School
Board of this county receives, and has re-
ceived for number of years, one third more
than the law requires the County Commits
sioners to lew.

The Grand Jurors Oath.

Judge Walters, at the November term of
Hartford county Court, in his charge to the
grand jury, thus alluded to the grand juror s
oath:
| am sure | need not do more at the present
time than refer in general way to the i'm
portance of the duties which you are about to
perform. The grand and petit juries, the
states attorney and the judges, all together,
constitute the Court-the tribunal upon which
depends the Just administration of the laws,
the protection of society and the security of
the individual.
Before any of us can be qualified to assume
the duties thus devolved upon us we are re-
CURED to take an oath, the general tenor of
which is that we will faithfully perform our
duty in our several stations. If one oath can
be more solemn than another, surely the most
sacred and binding must be that which man
takes when he assumes the duty of deciding
questions involving the rights, the liberty and
the life of his fellow man.
Every time | come to charge a grand jury
| am more and more impressed by the won
derfully Comprehensive character of the oath
which you have Just taken. The English Ian
guage could hardly express your duties more
clearly, although it is done so concisely ::
''You are to present no one through envy,
hatred, malice or i'll will; neither will you
leave any one unpresented through love, fear,
favor or affection, or any hope or promise of
reward Is there any human passion or
prejudice which you are permitted to take
with you into the jury room? No, your oath
requires you to divest yourself of all envy,
hatred, malice and i'll will; of all love, hope,
fear, favor and affection before you can be
entrusted with the rights the lives and the
liberty of your fellow men. Can you deter
mine whether a particular law shall be en-
forced or ignored? Can you say, for instance,
although the evidence in this case is very
slight and inconclusive still we viii make a
presentment because the law is a good one
and it must be enforced, and examples must
be made?'' Or can you say, on the other
hand, ''the evidence in this case is conclusive
and the law has certainly been violated but
still as the law is bad one and we don't APP
prove of it, we will make no presentmentY
No, because your oath says you shall present
''al things truly as they shall come to your
notice.

Decline of the Republican Party.

From the PHILADELPHIA Telegraph, Rep.
Election tables always are more or less in
teresting, and sometimes they are peculiarly
suggestive and instructive. Those superficial
observers who, commenting upon the result
declare that the Republican party is as strong
as ever in Pennsylvania, and is sure to hold
its own in the future, ETC., viii do well to
pause and look certain cold facts squarely in
the face. Let them. for instance. carefully
note the following table of Republican ma
jorities in seventeen counties during the past
four wears:

In Washington county there was a tie be-
tween DR.. VIM. Booth, Democrat, and Robert
H. Cottrell, Republican, for the House of
Delegates The gentlemen agreed to a re-
count. and if either should be found to have
a majority the other was to waive all right to
the seat. A recount was made by friends Of
both gentlemen, and the result was two ma
iority for DIR. Booth. Under the constitution
we cannot see what effect this agreement and
recount can have. Section 4, Article 10,
saws ''If at any election directed by this con
stitution, any two or more candidates shall
have the highest and an equal number OF
votes. new election shall be ordered by the
Governor" The judges of election have offi-
cially declared tie between DIR. Booth and
Mr.. GottrelI The Governor has no power to
recount the ballots, but must net upon the re-
suit as officially returned. 1t matters not that
an informal recount showed different result
from the official count, and las the official count
showed that neither gentleman was elected,
neither has any rights or privileges to waive.
It appears, therefore, that the Governor must
order a new election.

Malone says there was intimidation at the
late election in Virginia, yet the vote was the
largest ever cast in the state. The vote this
year exceeded that of last year, when the
state went for Malone by over 5000, by 49,,
