There is no difficulty in sending
them to conventions. The nomina-
ting conventions are filled with them
but they can only be permitted to
vote for white nominees.
When the right to vote was first
given to the negro, he was told that
after awhile when he became edu-
Gated and fit for position it would be
given him.
The time has come when negroes
are found fit to be doctors and law
yers but not one in Anne Arundel
county has ever been found fit for the
office of constable or member of the
Assembly, or County Commission
er.
The white republicans of Mary
land had as well be frank and ac-
knowledge the situation. 1t is well
understood. They regard the negro
as their political slave to be driven to
vote as they direct. The white repub-
licans would not vote for negro for
office and that is the main reason
why no negro has ever been nomina-
ted for Office.
The democrats make no pretense.
The negro has opposed that party
constantly, Notwithstanding he has
at every Court been placed on the
jury.
AS long as the negro voter is con-
tent to vote blindly for the republi-
can party and to be considered the
private chattel of that party, he can
have nothing to expect from either
party.
The only hope for a political future
for the race is for the negro voters to
assert their manhood.

The CoIored Voter


gerstswm Mail, writes so plainly and
to the point, and his articles are so
applicable to our own county and
section that we must be pardoned
for transferring them to our own
columns with slight changes On
the question of the negro voter the
Mail says:
There is no subject about which
the white republicans of Southern
Maryland are more tenderly sensi-
tive than the colored voter.
They seem to feel that any refer
ence to the negro vote is in some
sort reflection upon their own so
cial status. They resent any allusion
to the republican party as the party
of the negro.
Nothing could be more unjustifi-
able. There is nothing alb ut the
negro of which the republican party
of Maryland has any reason to feel
ashamed. If there is any shame, the
negroes should fesl ashamed of the
republican party.
For the record of the treatment of
the negro by the republicans is one
of deceit and ingratitude.
Without the negro vote in Mary
land there would of course have been
not even pretense of republican
party. Except possibly in Garrett
and Allegany counties there would
not have been one republican elected
to office in the State of Maryland
since the REIMBURSEMENT of the
white people in 1867, but for the
negro vote.
Without the negro vote the repub
lican party in Anne Arundel county
would be of little more political sig
niflcance than the Temperance or the
Woman's Rights parties. 1t has been
the negro who has elected republi-
cans to various office Has placed a
considerable minority of that party
in the legislature, has placed republic
can Judges on the bench and sent
republican representatives to Con-
gress. Without the negro vote Mr.
McComss, instead of going to Con-
gress, would have been defeated each
time by some five or six thousand
majority. Without the negro vote
the nomination of a republican can
didate for Judge in this circuit would
be an empty form, Without the
negro vote in Southern Maryland,
republicans would be as scarce there
as Cinnamon or Hindoos.
The negro then has voted in these
twenty years thousands and hundreds
of thousands of dollars of salaries in
to the pockets of the white republi-
cans.
What has the negro received from
the white republicans in return
Let us see.
In all these twenty years but one
negro has ever been permitted to run
for Office and he was placed on the
official ballot for councilman in Bal
timore city against republican pro-
tests.
He was elected against the voters of
the white republicans and as far az
we can learn has done himself or his
party no discredit. Of tie register
ed republican vote of Anre Arundel
county about four-ffths are negroes.
They should therefore be entitled to
four fifths of the nominations year

Railway and commercial Operators Do
Not Agree.
ST. LOUIS, June 19.-The grand division
of the order of railway telegraphers has de-
cided to purchase outright the organ of the
order of railway telegraphers. 1t is now
stated that the railway telegraphefs and
Brotherhood have struck a snag in their
negotiations looking to amalgamation. The
hitch. it is said. was caused by a clause in
the law of the railway people which pro-
vldes that an operator must have done rail-
road telegrnphing three years before he
can become a member. The brotherhood
people are sticking out for a one-year quail
fication. They say the three-year limit
would bar out fully 30 per cent. of the COM
mercial operators. This morning the Judi
ciary committee of the order of railway
telegraphers and officers of the brotherhood
of telegraphers met. The Judiciary COM
mittee reported that the grand division re-
fused to reduce the time of eligibility
clause in their law. whereupon the brother
hood officers called all negotiations off.
The order of railway telegraphers will APP
ply for membership to the federation of
railway employees. 1t has been said that
assurance has been given the brotherhood
people by members of the council that
neither organization will be admitted until
amalgamation is reached.
The railway photographers ell cited officers

Some persons, though not actually sick

Summary of the Annual Message of tn
Argentine Executive.

summary of the Annual Message of the
Argentine Executive.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The bureau of
American republics has received copy of
the annual message of President Pellegrini,
of Argentine Republic, laid before congress
May last. He states that exceptional meas
ures were adopted declaring the city of
Buenos Ayres in state of siege, and the
suppression of a few newspapers that were
stirring up strife. Concessions of national
lands, coying 10000 square miles, which
nave been made to speculators for coloniza-
tlon purposes, have been revoked. as the
holders of the concessions failed to carry
out the conditions on which they obtained
the lands. Many public works had of
necessity been suspended for lack of funds,
Assisted immigration from Europe had
been stopped. The revenues for 1880, were,
in currency 1878, 100000; expenditures. S92,- :
100000; leaving deficit of $l9,50O, 900.
The revenues for 1891 had been calculated
at $26,O 100000 gold. President Pelligrini
expressed the hope that the country, by the
aid OF the mnratoribus loan, negotiated in
London, would be able to pay its way this
year.
Trade returns are encouraging. Exports
are increasing and imports declining. The
financial crisis the president says, grows
worse daily. Paper money, of which there
are S260.OOO, 900 in circulation. contracted
80 per cent. He estimates the losses since
the crisis began at f2G0,O0O.O0O. The
national bank now owes the treasury $780,
100000 currency and $2.Oo0,O0O gold. He
considers that the best solution of the
financial difficulties would be to correct de-
fects IN the state banking system, revive
the or edit of state banks, and enable them
to continue. For this purpose he recon-
mends parliamentary commission. He
adds, but the gold standard is the in
superable difficulty in the way of resuming
specie payments. If We want metallic
basis we must resort to silver. All objec-
tions raised against silver standard NAV

Garrett, when found, was in fearful con-

Big Timber this morning by Roberts and

day and lodged in Jail. Two of the three
men arrested by Sheriff Templeton were

said, will be able to recognize his assailants.
Babcook Wiles' hardware store was en-
