The ticket TO be voted this year will
be one of usual length long, in
deed. with the six constitutional amend
ments attached TO It that. unless the
voter understands the method of the

experience, although the ticket was a
short one. There are however many
new voters this pear, and that these may
learn how to vote. the. sample booths
should again be put up in club-rooms

One year ago Democratic tidal wave
swept over the country and an over
whelming majority of Democrats were
returned to the next Congress OF the
United States. That temporary change
Of sentiment was lue largely to the cam
paign of misrepresentation waged by our
political opponents. who by every trio Z
and device known to political guerrillas
and bush xackcrs, led thousands to be-
leve that our country was surely on the
road to ruin, because Of the Mckinley
tariff bill which had just been enacted
In every nook and corner Of the United
States prices were raised on the various
articles Of necessity and in reply TO the
anxious query wly they were raised, the
uns:rupulons political merchant inform.
ed the buyer that it was owing to the
Mckinley tariff. and consequently q
sufficient number voted against the party
whose principles they had always sup
ported But, now, after years work
ing Of the Bill. the people arc beginn ng
to realize that they we're deceived BY
the unpatrioti, aud malicious assertions
Of the Democrats, and are coming back
by the usands tn the Republican party
aud from one enl OF the country to the
other the cheering news is brought that
the Republicans are not only united but
enthusiastic in their determination to
beat the Democratic party which BY ma
hciOus representations induced them
temporarily to stray away from the par
ty whose record has been, notwthstand
ing some mistakes, one of the grandest
ever made by political organization in
this country Knowing that this is the
condition of affairs all over the country.
it therefore is the duty of every Repub-
ican in Charles county. of good Inten
tions and honest coasietions, to close up
the ranks and make Determined effort
to the end that the whole Repsblican

majority We all know tive power OF

convinced of the fact that is every true

One reason Why Republican Legis-

very apparent a, the last session Of the
Legislature that this and other salutary
provisions were not to the liking Of the
