The Democratic State Central and
Campaign committees have prepared an
address to to the voters of that party
throughout Maryland which was made
public Thursday evening.
In view of the deep interest which has
been felt on all sides in the result of the
memorable political contest which will be
determined at the polls on Tuesday next
the address will be no doubt, read bv
every intelligent citizen who is DESTROYS
of hearing all sides of the case before ex-
ercsing his right of franchise
With no little trouble we have issued
this Supplement in order that the address
may be given in full to our readers. 1t is
as follows:
ADDRESS To MARYLAND DEMOCRATS.
HEADQUARTERS OF THE DEMO
CRATIC STATE CENTRAL COM
MITTEE.
Baltimore, October Both, 1895
To the Democratic Voters Of Maryiand-
FELLOW DEMOCRATS: The campaign is
concluded. The issue is in your hands
The Democratic paaty of the State through
its representatives in convention assembled
has placed before you for your sutfrages a
ticket which no man can successfully crit
icise-composed of men of the highest in
tegrity, unquestioned capacity, faithful to
their party and its principles, and in every
respect, altogether worthy of your sutfra-
gcs
This ticket was nominated by cOnven-
ton which grew out of primary meetings
honestly and fairly conducted, and held
after the fullest notice, and in many of the
counties after spirited contests. This no
one can successfully controvert. 1t is true
that the name of the gentleman who is at
the head of the Democratic ticket, on can
didate for Governor, was not presented to
primary meetings of the Democratic party
i'll the state, b 1t a rcferenC e to the proceed
ingS of the primary ne things in the state
will show that no preference was express
ed for a choice for Governor in those pri-
mary meetings, except in a very few in
stances. Therefore it cannot be question
ed that the convention, when it assembled,
was free to select those candidates, who,
in its judgment. were best fitted to fill the
named
BOSS-RlDDEN REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
On the other hand, the convention which
nominated the Republican ticket was the
result of a series of primary meetings held
in the state, in which bitter contest was
waged by the friends of two opposing can
didates. 1t can truthfully be said that
probably never in the State of MARYLAND
were primary meetings more disorderly,
more thoroughly boss ridden" than were
those held in the City of Baltimore by the
Republican party, and this can, with equal
TRUTH be said of several counties of the
state. The nominee of their party was not
the choice of a majority of the Republican
voters of the City of Baltimore, in round
numbers 10000 votes having been cast
against him and 5000 for him.
We might go further, if we were dispos-
ed to criticise, in the ligth of public state
ments uncontradicted, much of the pro-
ceedings of the primary meetings and con
vention of the Republican party, but we
assume, as intelligent men, with knowledge
of current events, that these things are
familiar to you all.
We have said that Mr. Hurst was not
named in the primary meetings to be NOM
mated for Governor 1t is equally true of
the honorable gentlemen who contested
with him in that convention for the nomi-
nation, who was not named in any primary
meeting with one exception in the State of
Maryland.
