Do Your Duty Republicans.

Do Your Duty Republicans.
Every thing seems ripe now for Re-
publican victory in the State if the Re-
publicans will bat do their duty at the
coming election; that is, to labor for the
success of the party and go to the polls
in November next and vote for their
party nominees The personnel of the
ticket is all that could be expected
The nominees are men Of pure and up
right character; have always been loyal
to party principles, and stand upon a
platform pledged to favor the enactment
Of such laws as the needs Of the people
demand This is all that genuine Re-
publicans can ask of their party leaders
and having that, the rank and file of the
party should now step to the front and put
in their best work for the success of the
ticket nominated, to insure the installa-
ton of our party in power in this State.
They have every encouragement from
surrounding circumstances, to go hard
and earnestly to work. The best ele-
ment of the Democratic party led by the
independent, and subsidized press
of the State have rent assunder the ties
that has heretofore bound them to the
Democratic organization and have prom
ised to and are supporting Lowndes The
bad manner Of conducting the State
government, under ring rule and boss
dictation, has nauseated the independent
voters, anu Disguised, they too, are
aroused to action and determined to
support the Republican ticket as the
only means to free the State from the
grip of the unsavory gang now control
ling it. With such allies and Influences,
success is indeed bright and promising.
Now is the opport4ne time to win, if
we ever expect to do so, and let US take
advantage Of the opportunity
As Baltimore city goes, so goes the
State, is an old saying, but void of truth
at this time No fears need be entertain
ed from the election to be held in the
great Metropolis. 1t will be fair this
time. 1t has heretofore had much TO
to do with controlling the elections of
this State. Scalawags and scamps for
the very purpose of rascality, have had
control Of the election machinery of that
city and have worked it when the over
throw Of their bosses was imminent. to
defeat the will of the people, but they
will not be permitted to play their
tricks at the coming election. A great
number of people hope for change in
the matter of the management of cur
State government, and are determined
to have free and fair expression Of
public opinion on the subject, and woe
be to the wretch or wretches who dare
make use of trickery to defeat their will
Bold and brave men of th-t city have
taken the matter in charge and will see
to it, that right prevails, though the
heavens fall"
A lamp post hanging may be one of
the effective, though shocking remedies
used to prevent it.
In this important campaign every
lover Of good government, it is urged,
should feel that any labor, however. ar
duous, is not too heavy to perform. A
sense Of duty awakens every good citi-
zen to feel that success depends as much
upon him as on anyother, and if there
is any manhood in him, it should now
ne exerted for the veal of the whole peo-
pie of the State in whose welfare. he, of
course, has deep and abiding interest
If this be rue as to our citizens gen.
orally, and it is undoubtedly so, Rcpub.
licans have even a greater incentive.
They, as citizens, should want good
government, and bind their en- lrgies in
that direction whenever the opportunity
affords; they should feel laudible pride
IN securing the success of their party,
SO long outof power in this State, and
believing Republican principle, are the
best for the good of the whole people,
they should with unexcelled ardor la
Dor harder now than ever for the cleo
lon of their State ticket. "rhe game is
worth the candle Our duty FIRST, is
o instruct our less informed neighbor
N the pending issues of the campaign,
nd advise him as to the proper course
