giving the people of each town an op.
portuniiy TO see the next Governor,

reason why Maryland Democrat
should desert his party and unite with
the enemy to accomplish the over
throw"
Mr.. Straus argued that to defeat the
state ticket because of dissatisfaction
with Mr.. German would be absured
Mr.. German and his friends would
still control the party organization.
Hill was beaten by Norton by 150, 900
majority. 1t was Hills funeral dirge,
said the Mug -wumps. Yet to-day
said Mr.. Straus, the Democrats Of the
entire country are looking to the gen
ius and spirit Of that same undaunted
leader 10 bring victory to the Demo-
cratic standard in the approaching
election, and in the destination of New
Iork's electoral vote in November Of
next year.
The idea that the state could he
easily recovered from the Republicans
once entrenched in power, by divid-
ed Democracy, Mr. Straus regarded
As untenabie As for Mr. Gorman
being the issue, Mr.. Straus said that
Mr.. German as an individual and his
course in the Senate become dwaried
to insignificance in this battle for the
success Of the Democratic party in this
state, situated AS it is and but one year
before the Presidential election.
A. to the issue o! good government,
Mr.. StrauS rehearsed the record Of the
Republican party while in control of
the state-"those dark DAYS" said he,
'when every Democratic heart was Il
shield and every Democratic bosom a
fortress to the liberties OF Maryland" :"
From 1867 to the present, he claimed,
no tenable complaint has ever been
lodged against single Democratic adj
ministration.
Referring to the allegation that
those who support Mr.. Hurst and the
Democratic state ticket are opposed to
President cleveland, Mr.. Straus said :
Can any man call himself a Demo
cratic who would vote for Republi-
can candidate for Governor who pub
licly and unequivocally defines the
dominent purpose Of his campaign to
be Republican victory in Maryland
this year in order that the electoral
votes may he secured to the Republi-
can candidate for the Presidency next
year? As for me, take my place in
this conflict where am for no other
reason than because | believe in the
imperishable principles illustrated by
the craftsmanship and patriotism of
Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Straus paid a high tribute to
the Democratic state candidates Mr..
Hurst's nomination, he asserted, came
to him unsought, unpurchased and
unimportuned. Its tender was fair
and lawful its acceptance by him dig.
nitied Independent and patriotic.

Cambridge Democrat.

Cambridge Democrat.
The Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, in n
carefully prepared interview, published
in the Baltimore papers last Monday,
said
The rights of the colored men, if
the Republicans carry the State, will
be properly protected, and if they are
able TO pass a proper examination, they
will have the same opportunity for
appointment that The whites hare. In
other words, in all public matters they
'ciN not be regarded as negroes. but as
citizens of the commonwealth, and
stand on the same footing-no better nor
no corse than their whhc brcthrcn.'
Now here we have it, not from any
of the puny county bosses. but direct
from headquarters. If Mr.. Lowndes
is elected he is to make the colored
man cqual in all respects to the white
man, mo better nor no rorSc." And
he will appoint colored men TO Office
Do we hear any of the pop gun Repub-
licans around here say that Lowndes
did not utter these words? Do they
repudiate them? Or do they endorse
them? Upon what ground, Mr.
Lowndes, will You give the black man
the same consideration that you will
whites? Does the colored man sup
port our county and State governments
TO the same extent that the white man
does? Did the colorcd man fight,
bleed and spend his treasury for
American independence like the white
man? Who made and is making,
this country and this State great, black
men or white men?
Shame ON you. Lowndes. Iou are

establish an unjust and unnatural
