the RUR.IL PRESS.


Cambridge, Nd, chronicle.
Without exception, we believe, the
rural newspapers Of Maryland - or
rather that portion of them that have
heretofore flown the Democratic flag
no matter what may be their fractional
alignments, have rallied to the sup
port Of the ticket nominated in Balti-
more on 31st Of July, recognizing it as
tho choice Of the people after one of
the fierciest primary contests ever
waged in the State. At time when
the city dailies arc hostile to the ticket
and the cause Of Democracy, there is
more need than ever before that the
rural press should band together for ac-
| tive warfare and resolutely oppose their
old time enemy. In the approaching
campaign the county papers are the sole
reliance, SO far us journalistic support
is concerned, Of the Democratic party,
and they should discharge the unusual
| responsibility thus thrust upon them
| with vlgor and courage. Never before
has the Republican party entered upon
a State campaign with such high hopes
Of victory, Their own forces are
cheered by the prospect of success, and
they are being encouraged by dissent
ers and obstructionists from the ranks
OF the Democracy.
True the Republicans have dissen-
sions and rivalries in their own ranks,
but 1t is never safe to reckon upon any
serious disatfection among Republi-
cans on election day. What is needed
is to arouse the Democratic voters OF
Maryland to the Importance of the i'm
pending conflict, to warn them Of the
dangers OF Republican supremacy, to
acquaint them with the honorable
record made by the Democracy in this
State, to show them the high character
of this years nominees and to urge
them to active and undaunted efforts
for SUCCESS To perform this duty
there is no more effective agency than
the county newspapers Each, in its
limited sphere, can do much to advance
the cause, and it is gratifying to see
them all united and ready for hard
! work when the campaign opens.
