meat which gives them life?
White Republicans from the North.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
We were just going to repeat the
assertion which We have made several
times during this campaign about the
way Republicans have been claiming
for the past 30 years that they were
going TO carry the elections, and how
they announced with flaming headlines
in the Baltimore 1merican that the
next Governor would be Republican,
but the subject has been so well
handled by the editor of the Cambridge
Democrat that we simply copy the fol-
lowing from his pen as a true picture
of the situation as it has been in the
past and is at present:
Eight years ago our Republican
friends hereabouis were most happy
Just before the election because some
Baltimore newspapers and few Re.
publican speakers had told them that
Walter b. Brooks was going 10 be
elected governor. The election came
around, as elections are bound to
come, and Brooks was beaten by about
10000. Still the Republicans thank
ed heaven for being happy and crow
ing before the election. Time rolled
on and in 1891 they trotted out Joe
Van Mort. Then there was cackle.
The previous majority of 10000 was
going TO be wiped out ; the Democra-
tic party was going to be buried never
to see light again; and the whole Re-
publican party was in happy mood
for month before the polls opened.
And they had lots of fun and wasted
lots of money. But when the votes
were counted, Frank Brown was over
81 900 ahead, and the Republican
sport was at an end. History is re-
peating itself. The cackle has again
been passed around the roost. and
again the whole flock is having a
magnificent time of Growing, Tapping
wings, and strutting. They have been
told that Lloyd Lowndes. the rich
aristocrat from the coal mines of the
Allegany mountains, is going TO be
the next Governor of Maryland, and
the whole Republican crowd is put
ting on the same airs as in 1887 and
1891, and the result will be the same.
Three weeks from now John l.. Hurst
will be receiving congratulations on
his 10000 majority; the Democratic
party will be in high glee and our
Republican friends. imported negroes
and all, will be in their holes weep.
ing.
Two thousand voters staid away
from the polls in this county last
year because the election then was
sure and the necessity for full rally
was not felt. But this year it is the
duty of every man to come out.
Every colored man is going TO vote.
The Republicans are SO scared that
they have imported hired colored
speakers. The white candidates and
these colored speakers are going around
together swearing in the colored men
as in previous years, and yet they
charge Democrats, who won't do such
things, with stirring up the race ques-
ton.
II is a lie born in the brain of these
men who hope to crawl into place on
the shoulders of twenty one hundred
colored men in this county; it is an
invention and cloak beneath which
they hope to hide their great political
crime from the gaze Of an outraged
public; Is is "A SANDER upon the great
Democratic party which is now mar
shalling its hosts to elect white men
who will see to it that the white race
is not pulled down in order that the
black man be elevated. Ye midnight

of the black mans church worship. YOU

With such conduct rs this on the
part Of this Republican crowd, what
Democrat is there that can feel con-
tented in staying away from the polls
on November.
