fleet before they cast their votes for the
Republican ticket.
Remember the days that are gone, when,
under the control of mob rule, in the
hands of inscriptions and violent men,
the City of Baltimore was disgraced in
the sight of every freedom-loving and
law-abiding citizen in the land. To re-
lieve you from that thraldom the appeal
came to the counties of the State to come
to the rescue, and relieve the city Re-
member how they came Remember that
it was through the united efforts of the
Democratic members of the Legislature
in the face of intimidation, such as no
Legislature was ever subjected to, that a
bill was passed which changed the whole
condition of things. Remember that af-
ter the war mere handful of Republican
officials held the City of Baltimore in
their grasp, ground down to the very dust
every man in its limits who was not ready
to swear that he had neither given aid nor
comfort to his brothers in the South.
Remember that under the Republican
registration law. three registers sat in
every election district, every man of whom
was Republican. Remember again, that
it was the appeal made by the citizens of
Baltimore to the Democrats of the coun
ties which brought to Annapolis Legisla
ture which relieved the people of Baltimore
once more from the oppression under
which they were held by this contemplate
minority of autocratic Republican politi-
clans.
SANE CAUSES, SANE RESULTS.
Remember that the same causes pro-
duce the same results. She same charac-
ter of men who led these cohorts then
are leading the Republican cohorts now.
They have the same sentiments, they
have the same views, they have not re-
linguished any of the purposes which in
spired their predecessors and remember
that if in moment of frenzy, passion or
prejudice you may be induced to cast vO-
ties which will bring this party into pow er
no other relief can come to you except
through the Democrats from the several
counties in the state. Place these coun-
ties again in the hands of Republican ma
chine politicians and tell US if you ca
how fair-minded and honest Democra Is
can ever obtain seats in the Legislature of
the state. With such supervisors of
election as would be appointed for the
counties of the state, with such judges an
officers of election as would be appointel
by these supervisors, do not for moment
suppose that we would have fair election
and an honest count in any part of the
state where these people could obtain
power by the use of illegal and improper
means.
NiTlo'AL ASPECT OF THIS CAMPAIGN.
One word more with reference to this
campaign in its relation to national af-
fairs Probably no community in Ameri-
ca has been more ardently, earnestly and
devotedlv attached to the doctrine of tar
if reform than has the Democracy of the
City of Baltimore and the State of Mary
land 1t is unnecessary to 60 over the
contest in the last Congress. Let it be
sufficient to say that the best tariff re-
formers in America, with Mills of Texas
at their head, have pronounced the pres
ent tariff law the best that has been put
upon the statue book since the Walker
tariff of 1886 decided Improvement
over the so-called Mills bill, witch was
engrafted in the platform of the Demo-
cratic party as the exponent OF our faith
when we nominated Grover Cleveland the
second time for the Presidency. Now, if
this be true, where will we look for such
improvements as may be thought desira-
BILE except from Democratic Congress.
What can be reasonably urged by any
Democrat as justification for his vote
against his party nominees when he knows
as he must know; that the result of Re-
publican success in the State of Maryland
will be the election of high tariff Repub-
lican Senator to misrepresent Maryland
in the Senate.
LEAVE IT IN DEMOCRATIC HANDS.
We have thus, fellow Democrats, sought
to give you the facts in the case as they
are. Our appeal is to your reason, to
your Democracy, to your love for freedom
and the fair name of your good city and
state, and we feel persuaded that these
will surely keep you true
to the organization and ne m n es of your
party.
We now leave the case in your hands,
and believe and know that if you serious
ly reflect on the future consequences of
your action, no such calamitous event as
the success of the Republican party on
Tuesday next can come to pass.
