DEMOt RATS, DO NOT RE DECEIVED.

In lieu of an editorial this week we give
place to the following from IA lifelong
Democrat which was published in Balti-
more last week:
There is Il greater i>su e involved in the
November election than is put forward by
those seeking to produce the impression
that it is simply light against Mr.. German,
and hence all true democrats are justified
in voting this fall the republican ticket.
Republican success at the comm" cleo
ton means transfer of the Police Depart
ment to republican management and Il
similar transfer of the Supervisors of Flee
ton who have the appointment Of regis
tiers Of voters. and judges and clerks of
elections. What this means under rcpub-
lican domination is too well known to
those who have had such experience. 1t
means a standing army under the complete
sion so holy, its object so pure and its ex-
istence so special Il providence as to justi-
fv, nay, sanctify, all means employed to
accomplish lis success: the records of its
obviatiny the necessity Of lachrymo>c de
mons ration from the recording angel. 1t
means absolute possession of the re@istra-
ton books, and the disposition to use them
Maryland to the republican party with
links that political earthquake alone will
be able to disunite 1t may be said the
time has passed for such practices, for such
abuse of power by Il dominant party
Have YOU forgotten that the Presidency of
the United States was stolen by an Elec-
toral COMMISSION, the republican majority
of which voted as Il unit in transferring the
electoral vote of three States from the
democratic To the republican column, with
out regard to Justice, the holy mission of
their party sanctifyiu" the robbery: The
republican party is the same now ;ts then:
the opportunity being afforded the same
nature and inclination exists to repeat the
outrages we i'll Maryland suffered during
their rule, when the only rights accorded
their opponents We're of funeral charac-
ter.
Republican success in November msurcs

machinery for four years from February
1896, and to its presidential nominee in

The republican platform is very conscr-
