Hon. Lloyd Lcwndes Should Answer.

AS was duly chronicled in the
Post of Friday last, the Maryland
campaign has just been enlivened
by the action of the Rockville Col
ored Republican Club. This or
ganization has 122 members, all
colored men and all Republican yo-
tiers, and these have addressed to
Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, their party
candidate for Governor. "a perfectly
reasonable and respectful interrog-
atory. This interrogatory has six
subdivisions, and they constitute
altogether a very intelligent and
comprehensive inquiry into the Re-
publican attitude toward the color
ed contingent in case events should
furnish the party with an occasion
for any attitude at all. Without
considering the motives which are
said to have animated the Rockville
club, and treating the question
wholly upon its intrinsic merits,
we here give the catechism in full !:
"First. AS to his aforesaid ac-
ton in Congress and mis- reported
statements in Rockville in regard
TO the same.
"Second. AS to his position on
the question of public schools,
whether he favors mixed schools.
as has been claimed, and il not.
whether he is in favor of giving
colored people better facilities than
they have, which are now no more
than one half as good as those of
white schools.
"Third. Whether il elected he
will use his best endeavors and off,
cisl influence to carry the State for
the Republicans in the next Presi-
Dental election.
"Fourtb. Will he be able to

We have q first-class local ticket.
Every man on it is fitted for the
position for which he is named.
Each of our candidates has been
fairly nominated and no man who
calls himself Democrat has the
shadow of n reason for refusing to
vote the whole ticket. But, the
mere voting the ticket is not all
that should be done. Get to work
and persuade your neighbors and
friends to vote it also. Don't make
the candidates do all the work.
Help them that they and their
friends may aid you when your
time comes. Let every Democrat
himself vote ahd influence another
to vote the same way. Go to work
now!

give recognition to our race in the
way of places now held by Demo-
Gratis no better qualified to hold
them than many colored men are,
in due proportion to their voting
strength ?
Fifth. AS to the statements
accredited to him in relation to 'the
colored people, Published in the
Baltimore Herald Of September Is,
1895, namely, that If elected he
would endeavor to have all appoint
ments to positions of policemen,
firemen, and laborers in Baltimore
city made upon competitive exami-
nations, whether such q rule would
not keep out or make it possible to
keep out, from such positions all
worthy colored Republican voters
otherwise fully able to do the work.
"Sixth. What will he do to help
to elevate and improve the condi-
ton Of our race and of laboring
men In general in case he receives
their vote 20
The first query relates to the re-
ported action of Mr.. Lowndes when
he was a member of Congress and
when, as is charged, he actively op.
posed the passage Of civil and po-
litical rights bill, framed in the in
terest of the negroes. The other
queries speak for themselves.
1t seems to us that Mr.. Lowndes
is in duty bound to reply to this in
terrogatory with candor and CON-
pleteness. There are nearly 5O,-
900 colored voters in Maryland
constituting more than half of the
Republican strength. Without
their suffrage neither Mr.. Lowndes
nor any other Republican candidate
would have the shadow Of chance
to be elected. Without them the
Republican party would be practi-
cally as insignificant in Maryland
as it is in Georgia or Mississippi.
II Mr.. Lowndes can appeal to them
for their support, certainly they
may ask Mr.. Lowndes for a plain
statement of his plans and purposes
in the event that their votes should
make him Governor. They stand
politically upon perfect level OF
equality. The colored voter has as
much right to ask Mr.. Lowndes for
definition of his attitude as Mr..
Lowndes has to ask the colored vot.
err for his support. He has done
| nothing intrusive, presumptuous
or impertinent. lie is within his
dignity and his privileges.

October 1895.

Messrs. Editors:-While | do not
feel it a duty to reply to the COM
munication of GA Democrat" of
Baltimore, in your issue of the 27th
ultimo, for the reason that his
name is not given to the public, l
propose briefly to notice his article,
from sense of respect for the
writer, which / have been unable to
do sooner, on account of sickness.
The numerous questions asked
in the article, can be easily and cor
rectly answered by himself, if he
will divest himself of the prejudices,
not to say i'll will towards those
whom he regards as the authors of
Mr.. Hurst's nomination, to such
an extent, at least, as not to visit
the political sins Of others upon the
head of'Mr. Hurst, and the Demo
cratic Party.
reiterate that "Senator German
is not an issue in the pending cam
paign," and | will add with en-
phasis, that the only issue | can
conceive of, to any impartial-un-
prejudiced democrat, is between De-
mocracy and Republicanism. This
is my honest conviction. From
this standpoint, my duty as a
Democrat is plain.
| insist that Mr.. Hurst was legit-
imately nominated by the State
Democratic Convention, and that
the Convention was legitimately
elected by the Democratic Prima-
ries. Whether he was suggested by
Messrs. German and Rasin is i'm
material. Having been regularly
nominated, he is entitled to, and
will receive the support Of every
true Democrat in the State, in spite
of the defamation of recalcitrant
Democrats, as to the manner las
they claim) of his nomination.
What if he had not been spoken of
for the position, previous to the
meeting of the Convention? Have
not such nominations-National,
State and local been frequently
made heretofore? This is a. yery
weak objection, and of no weight
whatever.
1t can not be said that Mr.. Hurst
sought the nomination. 1t was
given to him unsought. In the
purer days of the political past, this
was considered virtue-a recogni-
ton of great merit. 1t can not be
said either, that he is not amply
qualified for the duties of the posi-
ton, or that his competitor is in
any way his superior in this regard.
The Baltimore San, the bitterest
enemy to-day, the Democratic party
has In the State, has heretofore
! conceded that he possesses all the
