Democracy and t. aI,ey in Tic Sixth.
CoLonA, o .tobcr 80. 1895.
Mr.. EDITOR:
Tho political canpai':n sac.ns t. have been
opened in earnest 10y our political opponents
ill and around this hill side town, Judging
from the enthusiasm displayed at the Demo-
cratic Club mgatn.; held hc,c on SATURDAY
evening last. After few tunes by our band,
| addresses were delivered ,i,' Dr. r. r. Croth-
ers ALL Mr.. Geo. II. Grason. a prominent
Democrat of Rising Sun. The doctor started
of on the Niger bugaDoo-thc sraAs. mescr,
as he put it-anl predicted that. if Lowndes
was elected GoFernor OF this State. 1t would
be but a shor. timo before the children of
poor white people would haze to sit on the
same benches with the little niggers of the
neighborhood, and, what was worse still, we
would have negro squires. constables, reg
istors, judges and clerks Of our elections to
the exclusion OF those whom the doctor
would otherwise have an opportunity of
recommending for little official plums under
Democratic regime (here the band payed)
after which Mr.. Grason arose to address the
audience. But his feelings had been so
worked upon by the doctors picture of negro
supremacy in case Lowndes should be cleo
ted. that he was apparently too full for utter
ance and. after few words which the re-
porter did not catch, he said with emphasis,
II object which was supposed by some to
mean that he objected to mixed schools and
negro of1iceholders, thinking that the only
way to avoid such calamity would be TO
keep Lowndes from being Governor (here
the band played again. After three cheers
for Hurst and the rest of the ticket they adj
journed to meet at Rising Sun on Friday
next. The Sun don't seem to be a good place
for Democratic clubs, as two attempts had
been made to organize a club at that place
previously which were not successful. The
Democratic portion of the people there, al
though thoroughly imbued with the princI-
pies of Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland
wear no bosses collar. and don't go crazy
at the sound of u brass band, or get FRIGHT
ened out of their senses at the nigger-in. the
woodplle, which some profess to have got n
glimpse of since the two tickets have been
before the people, none but of1lceholders and
aspirants to office having before seen the
apparltlon in all the years past when the
chances of electing a Republican Governor
were out OF the question. except in the cleo
ton when j. Morrison Harris was a candi-
date against John Lee Carroll. At that time
the niger was not thought of as a factor in
politics by any Democrat OF the State. Int
now we find the Democratic candidate for
Governor on the stump using the negro
"bugaboo' for all it is worth which has set
all the little fellows, parrot-like,r to repeat
the foolish story, and insulting the intelI-
gence OF all persons capable of judging for
themselves, how their ballots shall he csst

doctrine as defined by the fathers of Demo-
cracy before us, ask yourself if you are
Democrat, what verifcation it has at this
time in Maryland?
Is not the sole head and front of the
party organization so far as the declaration
OF its State policy is concerned, so far as the
attitude of Maryland Democracy towards
Mr.. Cleveland's administration is con-
cerned, so far as the selection of a Guber-
material and State ticket is concerned one
single indiriduai, in whom centers all party
authority, and who by virtue of his self
assumed craftsmanship, dictates its cand-
dates and controls its interests, as auto
cratically, as though Maryland were an
absolute monarchy, instead of an alleged
Democracy?
Could political and individual autocracy
assume more definite or offensive shape,
than it assumed in the purely personal
selection of Mr.. Hurst by Mr.. German, as
the Democratic Gubernatorial candidate,
directly in the teeth of the expressed pre-
ference of the Democrats of Maryland for
other men.
Which dragged Mr.. Hursr from the OBJ
security OF his counting room, popular senti
ment, or political power centralized in one
man?
In what street in Baltimore, or in what
county of Maryland, can be heard the echo
OF single Democratic voice expressive of
the popular will in Mr.. Hurst's selection.
Yet with this history of his candidacy
fresh in their memories, the people o.
Maryland are being told by Democrats Mi.o
know better, that the defeat Mr.. German
and his candidate Mr.. Hurst, who repre-
sents in his method of selection, the most
concentrated type of centralized power ever
known in the history of the State, means
the defeat Of Democracy as a government of
the people III Maryland.
And as election day approaches, how
pathetically the representatives of this
colossal exponent of centralized power,
Arthur p. GorInan, whom all Democrats
in shadow, and many Democrats in sub
stance as well aly now denounciug, plead
the regularity Of Mr. Hurst's nomination.
How ruefully they predict the imminent
danger in the dethronemcnt of the r,yuiar
Democracy in Maryland, if this notoriously
irregular German "Machine" should be
thrown off its track, by the votes o! rnguiHr
Democrats, who all their lives have de
nounced Capitalization of power, either in
their organization or in that of their politi-
cal opponents.
The election of Mr.. John T. Hurst, by
the fairly cast and honestly counted votes
of the Democrats of Maryland this fall,
would be the most stultitying political act
ever recorded in the history of Democratic
nominations in this State.
Unless honestly elected by Democratic
votes, fairly counted, Mr. Hurst's elevation
to the Gubernatorial chair, will have no
other meaning than previous ''machine"
victories won in Maryland, at the expense
of popular government, and the scandal of
popular rights.

CENTRALIZED POLITICAL POWER
IN MARYLAND.

Opposition to Capitalization of power in
the hands of a few men either in the nation
or state, as opposed to the rule Of the peo-
pie, has been for years peculiarly Demo-
cratic doctrine
This doctrine has been the very founda-
tion stone of the Democratic creed, the
grand central idea Of ancient and modern
Democracy, and familiarly formulated
in the well-known definition Of Dem
ocracy, as government Of the people, by
the people and for the people.

II. w. TALBOT
Chairman.

Now but one reasonable Interpretation
can be put upon the promise contained in
this circular. Not that the ''debt" incurred
by a contribution will be paid back in
money, but in the shape of some privilege
or immunity which the "boss'' and his
influential followers can command for any
liquor dealer who will "slell OUT literally
for the grandmothers fund.
As the church going classes in Baltimore
and elsewhere in the state, are taking
unusual interest in this election, the German
leaders hope to counteract the loss of a
large percentage of this vote which may be
cast for Mr. Levering or Mr.. Lowndes, hv
exciting the party zeal of Democratic saloon
keepers and liquor dealers, by the specious
promise of less police espionage on Sunday
or after midnight, and more liberal treat
ment at the hands of the authorities.
1t is reported in Baltimore, that since the
refusal of one saloon keeper to respond to
this circular, that a policeman in citizens
clothes is stationed before his saloon door
every Sunday, while in the same block
other saloons whose proprietors did respond
to the circular, can sell on Sunday with
impunity.

PROF. K0ERELE's W6RK.
Commissioner Marsden Receives
More Beneficial Insects.

By the steamer Peru, Commits
sioner Marsden received letters and
a package of insects from Professor
Koebele. These insects were
brought from Ceylon by the profess
sor and placed on board the steamer.
While the greater part Of them were
found to be dead-which is not to
be wondered at considering the
long voyage-some of them were
alive and at once liberated on
trees upon which their food is to
be found.
Professor Koebele is now in
Japan, and he reports that country
to be very much infested with
many destructive blight and insect
pests. The professor is of the
opinion that it is to Japan that we
owe several of our most destructive
scales and insect pests-particu-
larly the rose beetle and he will
use every endeavor to find an anti
dote if such thing exists in Japan.
The work of tie professor up to the
present time has been of incalcul-
able value to the country. He has
discovered and sent here ladybirds
that have conquered the citrous
blight. If 1T were not for this lady
bird the growing of oranges, lines,
ETC., would have been impossible.
In fact, judging from the destruc-
ton caused by the blight during
the past two years, it is not too
much to say that there would not
have been a citrous tree alive.
The same ladybird has almost
eradicated the coffee blight.

week been the order of the day. The
oldest inhabitant calls it the coldest
winter for years. The people on the
hills claim to have had twelve inches
of rain and are praying for sunshine
Some of the small crops, such as pota-
toes, have suffered severely from the
high winds and constant cold rains
In the cane district the rainfall does
not average much above three inches,
though Multi and Halawa have had
more than the plantations further
west. Today the weather is moder-
ating, and people are rejoicing in a
sight of the sun once more.
AT Halawa there is typhoid fever
among the Japanese laborers. It is
thought probable that the decaying
vegetable matter washed down by the
heavy rains on the hills has had q
good deal to do with the trouble. A
regular hospital has been established,
and every precauJion is being taken to
prevent the spread of the scourge.
Miss Maude Wight is dangerously
ill. Up to the present there have
been five Or six deaths and there are
about deem patients in the hospital.
With the return of good weather it is
safe to pre- lict immediate and rapid
convalescence of the remaining pa
tients.
The distglut has been favored with
quite a number of visitors III Kohala
lately, p~0gninent among whom were
not less T. an three or four c'orgymen
of differerj denominations. Captain
Egner ard Rev. o. P. Emerson
all paid flying visits.

series of entertainments and instruc-
ton that formed the social feature of
Kohala last year.

tended.
G.. f. Renton, manager of Kohala
Sugar Company, makes a flying trip
to Maui in the interests of the planta"
ton by this Kinau. He expects to re"
turn by the same steamer.
There is q general impression here
that Kohala people did not get all the
foreign mail that came ON the Aus
tralia.
The twenty candidates for school
teachers certificates examined by the
Inspector here q week ago, are anX-
iously expecting advices as to results
by return steamer.
Mr.. Hardy, deputy sheriff from
Hilo, was in Kohala last week and it
was largely through his exertions that
convictions were secured in the case
of two men who incapacitated tempo
rarily, several cane wagons for service.
They both confessed, and got six
months each.
There is a crying need for dentist
in Kohala. A capable operator can

invitation OF the home company
TO participate in the exercises.
The veterans are TO assemble on Memorial
Sunday at the hall at $3.50, to march to
Trinity Chapel, on Sheldon street, to at
tend the o'clock services. At 6:45 p. m.
they are to meet at same place and
attend service at the Lakewood chapel,
at 1880. 1t was voted to request the pastor
of the Lakewood Chapel to deliver an
address at the cemetery on Memorial
Day and to participate with the veterans
on Memorial Day. The Rev.
G. w. Burnham, OF the Pawtuxet
Baptist Church, was invited
to join with the veterans
as heretofore. The veterans are requested
to meet at the hall at o'clock on Me-
mortal Day, and all veterans in this vi
cinity are requested to join in the parade
and services. The line of march will
be as follows: From the hall
to Greene's Brook, where they are
to meet the Camp Sons of Veterans and
Thomas Post, then march through Main
street TO Ocean street, down Ocean TO Fort
avenue, Fort avenue TO Sheldon, down
Sheldon TO Parish Hall, where a halt will
be made for refreshments. On re- form
ing the line, the order VIII
be reversed, VIZ. Thomas Post
will take the right of the line, the Camp
Sons of Veterans the center, and the
Pawtuxet Veterans the left, and the
school children, who have been invited
to join the procession, will follow. They
will then march to Green's Gene
terry, where the memorial services will
be held and the graves decorated. The
school children, under the leadership of
of Miss Elizabeth Sarah Sturtevant, will
sing at the cemetery.
