STAND TO YOUR COLORS
Before another issue of our paper the vot-
ers of Maryland will have exercised the
highest privilege Of an American Citizen
We are in possession of such information
as warrants us in the assertion that this ex-
preston of opinion will be an overwhelm-
ing endorsement Of the Democratic nomi-
nees throughout the entire State.
Not only the Democratic party, but every
voter who is interested in the further devel-
opment and permanent establishment of
that security and prosperity which now
blesses our State, are now bending every
energy of mind and heart in the further
continuance of Democratic rule.
The sad spectacle of the once proud old
Commonwealth Of Virginia, with her credit
lost, her commerce crippled, her financial
avenues blocked, her agricultural interests
languishing, her workshops closed, the
physical energies of her growing manhood
paralyzed and her social system rocked and
torn into fragments by such political trick
sters as Malone and his lieutenants is a
frightful commentary on Republican adj
minlstration of public affairs, and it is to-
day sending dismay and terror into every
rejecting community of our State.
1t is matter of political history that the
people of Maryland are and ever have been,
when left free and untrammeled, loyal in
their support Of honest and economical gov
eminent and always determined in their adj
vocacy of men who are the defenders of
honest legislation aud faithful and clean
administration OF the same. They have
learned from sad experience that Repuli-
canism, in the administration of our public
affairs, national and State, is dangerous
and extraordinary development That it
WILSON'S, and il cannot live when convul-
sions cease That time has developed moth
ing like il since the days OF the French rev.
olution. II is the very insanity Of politics,
and the lust of rule unaccompanied by those
better motives of ascendency which usually
operate upon our rulers That II is NAL
ady of narrow and bigoted minds, an nsid
ious disease which tastens itself upon the
body polite, and which, il not cut out, like
incipient cancer, becomes fatal to any State
which 1t infects.
It's proper appreciation Of the danger
Gus and ruinous tendencies and practices Of
the Republican party that is uniting and
harmonizing our friends throughout the
State and driving thousands Of honest men
from its ranks under our standard in the
support of Democratic principles and the
establishment Of its policy in the direction
of an honest and impartial execution of the
civil authority.
The consideration OF matters of such grave
Importance, and now so prominently before
the public, and the further gratifying knowl-
edge that the Democracy of the State is fully
alive to the emergency Of the hour, induce
us TO say To our friends in the county, on the
eve of the battle, stand To your colors. The
Democracy of old Montgomery must afiix
its monogram high on the column of victory
which the Democrats Of the State will
proudly raise on the 81 of November We
have it In our power To give every man on
the ticket majority of from I've to six hun.
bred. Do not be willing TO rest anything
short Of this majority. We can if we will
but go earnestly to work; therefore put
forth all of your energies, and let the old
flag float proudly in the breeze.
Stand to your colors Stand to the Dem.
ocratic faith within you, and you will be
true TO your State, your county, your PEG.
pie, your party, and yourselves. See all
your friends and neighbors and impress
upon them the absolute necessity OF a grand
old Democratic victory in the county.
Stand to your colors stand firmly, stand
proudly, stand defantly, and when the
smoke OF battle gives way TO the sunshine
Of victory, your labors will be sweetened
with the reflection that men Of your own
political complexion have been elevated 10

Of official duties, and old Montgomery will
appear before her sister counties of the
State 1.-THE equal Of any, surpassed by none. "
The trial Of Editor Stead, of the Pail Mad
Gazette, has begun in London. Editor Stead
is man who undoubtedly did good thing
and undoubtedly carried his adventure too
far after he had secured triumph. But
this violation Of law,if any has occurred,
is, on its face. a merely technical one, and 10
punish il as IL it were real would be an injus
tice and an oppression. This seems 10 be
the common sense way Of looking at case
which is attracting degree Of interest on
two continents.
Every Democrat in the county should
realize that IL is his bounden duty 10 be
early at the polls on the day Of election,
use AZ OF his influence and do all in his
fower 10 promote the success of the entire
ticket
