Mr.. Lowndes started out by say.
ing that we must have free schools.
Haven't we the best public schools
in the country? Then they say the
finances must be better handled.
Has there been a suspicion that the
money of the taxpayers is not paid
out as it is appropriated? They
tried to make capital of the reor-
ganization of the City Commits
sioners' Department, but was there
anything found to be wrong with
the finances there?
"Our opponents promise to give
us fair elections. Let us see the
record of the Republican party in
this direction. Here is a resolution
of the Democratic party in 1866, in
which it is said that the election
just over was one of the most cor
rupt ever held in the city. The
Police Commissioners aided the
party in every way, and the Govern
or determined to hear the charges
against them. The Republican con-
sention passed a resolution advising
the commissioners to resist this
action of the Governor, if necessary,
by force. But Notwithstanding
this, the Governor removed them
on the ground that they had used
the machinery controlled by them
for illegal purposes. That was the
farewell of the Republican party
its defiance of the Governor-aud it
has not been in power since, and it
is to be hoped that it may never be
again. Bernard Carter at the Ger
manic lHGeRnerchor Hall, October
81, 1895.

What about Il. oystsrmsn
Oystermen, which plan do you
favor--the old democratic system of
free oyster bars or the republican
plan of leasing and selling or dis
posing of the oyster grounds to pri-

ticket. If you are for the sale of
the oyster beds vote the republican

courage to rise to the occasion, :"
but the great majority will, and if
the republicans should carry the
State the views Of the American and
Messrs. McComas and Hodson

will win and will continue to pro-
tect the men and keep the oyster
grounds as the common property
of the oystermen.

can to defeat any plan for selling,

that duty. AS much as the Demo-

DEMocaATIc MASS MEETING.
1r. Hurst Receives IN ovatien. Every
Section cfths County Represent
cd. The sth and End Dis
triets Turnout by the
Hundred.

The Democratic Mass Meeting
held in this town on Wednesday
last was the largest and most en-
thusIastic meeting ever held in st.
Mary's. Mr.. Hurst and the other
gentlemen who accompanied him
to address the meeting were met at
MechanicsviIle by Mr.. r. o. Nor
gan, President of the 3rd District
Hurst Club, and others who attend
ed their safe conduct to our town.
Delegations from the 9Th and End
Districts, joined by others from
every section of the county, formed
in front-of Moore's Hotel under the
leadership of DIR. Henry Richard
son, VIM. S. Coppage, John Hilton
and others, with the Solomon's Is
land Band, and proceeded to the
outer limits of the village to receive
and welcome our distinguished can
didate for Governor and the other
speakers, with flags and banners
flying, in "martial equipage," they
were conducted to Moore's Hotel,
J and received with cheers from the
large concourse of people who had
assembled.
1t was obvious that the seating
capacity of the Court room was
inadequate for so large gathering,
and an out door meeting was in
evitable. The meeting in the after
noon was therefore, held in front OF
Moore's Hotel, the parlors and the
lower end of the porch being crowd
ed with ladies.
Hon. John Z. Hurst, candidate
for Governor, Messrs. Thomas G..
Weeks and James w. Owens, ad.
dressed the meeting. Col. J. NJ.
Dent presided.
! Mr.. Hurst was first introduced,
and expressed the hope that the
audience would bear with him, as
he had been On the road for several
weeks and his voice had about left
him. Hr. Hurst plainly and forci.
bly, discussed the issues of the cam.
paign. His speech was frequently
applauded. He was followed b,
MIR. Weeks who made a stirring
speech amid frequent applause
MIR. Owens followed in strong ad
vocacy of the democratic cause.
At night meeting was held a
the Court House. Mr.. W. b
Dorsey presided, and the meeting
was addressed by ex-senator W. B
Peters, of Howard County; Francis
Putnam Stevens. Messrs. Hurst
Weeks and Owens also made briet
addresses. The meetings were
arked with enthusiasm through
out, and the expressions from dem
ocrats all over the county evidenced
that greater interest and zeal have
been infused in the democrati,
anks.

Mr.. Hurst's remarks at Leonard

Mr.. Hurst's remarks at Leonard
town were received with great APP
plause. At his back during his
speech sat Mr.. Thomas C. Ward
who, on Nov. %, 1895, will be 1O2
years old. Mr.. Ward had driven
80 miles to hear Mr.. Hurst and
will go to the polls next Tuesday to
vote for him. Let all Democrats
follow his example

. There appears to be little or no
dissatisfaction with the county tick
ct and that the members of il are so
well known as unexceptionable gen.
tlemen, that any praise of them is
unnecessary.
1t is true that they have reputa-
BILE gentlemen pitted against them,
but the contest is sharply defined
between Democracy and Republi-
canism and, all things being equal,
st. Mary's from the present out
look will give the Democratic ticket
a safe majority on November the
9Th instant.
We have no words of condemna-
ton for our friends, the enemy, but
we do not see any reason for not
voting for the gentlemen on the
Democratic ticket. Has any man
suggested that any one of them is
in any way unfit for the duties of
the position he aspires to:
Is there any intimation that
Messrs. Henry Wingate and George
". l.. Bnekler are not sterling
Democrats and well qualified to re-
present st. Mary's county in the
Honse of Delegates? They are
known TO be men of energy and
sound business habits, and no man
would dare assert that they would
do otherwise than faithfully repre-
sent their constituents.
Could those of our citizens who
have business in the Orphans Court
expect to replace Messrs. James ii.
Bailey, Stanislaus Clarke and Rich
ard NJ. Hebb by three who under
stand the business of the office
better: Could they be replaced by
those of sounder judgment or those
in whom the people of the county
have more confidence?
Could the friends of law and
order expect more able and faith
ful officer for States attorney than
the present incumbent, b. Harris
Camalier? He has always discharg-
ed his duty as it faced him, un.
pleasant though at times it must
have been, and we'll knowing that
1T must make him political enemies.
As constable Mr.. James Abel
Watts was one of the best officers
in the county. Could any better
man for sheriff be found in St.
Mary's. Faithful TO duty, yet lem
lent and accommodating in the ut
most bounds consistent with that
duty, he will make an ideal sheriff.
The farmers and taxpayers of st.
Mary's will feel perfectly safe with
Thomas g. Edwards sitting in the
County Commissioners office. He
is plain, practical farmer, who
Knows the needs of the county,
knows Its highways and its people,
and he can be depended upon to
act cOnscientiously and judiciously.
These are the gentlemen whom
the Democratic party in st. Mary's
county presents to the voters for
their sufrrages. 1t is impossible
that any Democrat can find reason
for not voting the whole ticket,
from top to bottom.
