Many Democrats Remember.

Many Democrats remember, to this
day. the indignities to which they had
to submit, when last the Republicans
held arrogant sway in Maryland Says
the Hagerstown Nad:
I'VE have learned to fear the Re
publicans in power and especially in
power in this State. They are Greeks.
We fear them even while they talk
smoothly in their throats and smile.
We fear them offering gifts and bear
ing flowers of subtle rhetoric. We
will govern YOU well, they declare.
We will I've honest with you, they aver
We will down the bosses, saws one
boss. We will have pure elections,
says another who habitually wins
primaries whether he has majority
or not. We will redeem MARYLAND,
says another, and so il goes. But we
fear them. The Republican party in
the history of this State was in power
once. Some of us remember that time
People who did not want to take i'm
possible oaihs did not get registered.
No man voted, if he was suspected of
being Democrat, without being asked
Il long string of questions, many of
them insulting to his manhood and
degrading to his citizenship ., We
have splendid cause to doubt and fear
the power of the Republican party.
This year, melted by vain hope, they
are Offering glittering bats. Their
hooks are covered with specious prom.
ises and they are waiting for the Dem
ocratic party to bite. When they have
landed their prey they may sing a
different tune.

This is an awful cry and

cry that went up from our
people on Sunday even

echoes and the effect OF
that fire is awful. 1t has

Atlanta Is essentially railroad city
aud great railroad center, having
roads. and good ones, radiaiing to
every section Of the country. But
without considering any of the Others,
there is one system fully capable of
handling expe'litiously, comfortably
and satisfactorily, all the travel and
traffic to and from the exposition from
any and every direction, and that is
the great combination operated by a
single management, with headquarters
at Washington. ID. c., under the name
Of the Southern Railway.
One Of its lines has its northern ter.
minus at Washington. and over it is
operated fast through service in COR
nection with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road from New York, through Phila-
delphia. Baltimore. Washington and
Atlanta to all parts of the South and
Southwest, including New Orleans and
points III Florida. and which makes
the run from New York To Atlanta in
- hours. Not only ST., but lis con-
neciions in other directions enable il
to give the same first class service to
passengers from the West and North

system to the success OF the exposition

with the managers of the exposition,

Cecil County News.
When it became evident to the
"~mpdper" that reassessment would
surely come if the Democratic party
continued in power, il cast about for
some means TO prevent it, and failing
in all others, has determined to defeat
the party if possible, under the specious
pretense of opposition to bossism
To anyone who is green enough to
suppose that opposition to bos<ism is
the real motive of the s"npeper we
extend our sympathy. If Mr.. Rasin
and Senator German are bosses, then
the 'sunpaper' has been the servile
defender of bosses for many years.
1t even has the efrontery to pretend
that it favors reassessment, when it
has always opposed such a measure,
and has used its influence with the
Democratic party to the breaking
point, and now that it can no longer
affect its policy. turns 10 the Republic
cans.
One Of the proprietors of the .sun-
paper" was known t. have made
earnest inquiries OF a certain city
member of the last legislature before
the meeting at Annapolis as to whether
any reassessment could not be pre-
vented.
Its opposition can not be opposition
to bossism, as it pretends, for the
Democratic party has had the same
leaders for many years. What then
can be the cause OF IFS support TO
Lloyd Lowndes, the millionaire presi-
dent of dozen corporations, all of
which oppose any scheme that will
compel their payment Of public taxes,
il not the hope that its proprietors
may escape the payment of their due
proportion of the public taxes for the
support of the Government?
We ask the intelligent people of the
State to say whether they are prepared
to believe that paper that considers
its financial interests first, last and all
the time is influenced by pure motives,
or condemns the Democratic ticket for
some other undisclosed reason.
How its efforts may succeed else
where we of course know not, but are
satisfied that in Cecil county such
treachery will be met with five hun.
dred majority for the entire Democratic
ticket in November.

Baltimore Herald.
The Maryland campaign is the
subject of the deepest political interest
in Washington, and the influence ex.
erted from the National Capital will
be felt in several counties.
The leading Democrats there and
the various Democratic associations
intended to put in some hard work
in behalf OF the party ticket in Mary
land. The emphatic claims made by
the Republicans have stirred up the
Democrats, and they are preparing TO
work with system and effect SO far
a the Democrats of Washington are
concerned there seems to he no differ
enc of opinion whatever as to the sup
port of the ticket nominated bv the
regular convention recently held in
Baltimore They are all Of one mind
on this question.
1t is not without significance that
the Democrats employed i'll various
positions under the government are
now outspoken in support of the tick
ct. For a period of two or three
weeks after the convention some of the
Maryland Democrats holding Federal
office were cautious aud reserved. to

The assertion of Candidate Lown-

the Republicans could but carry
Maryland this year they would hold
possession of it in 1896, and thus cast
the electoral vote for the Republican
Presidential candidate, has become a
sort of shibboleth for the Democrats.

party or who is desirous to have it win
the Presidency again, is likely to sus-
tain his organization at the coming
