Lloyd Lowndes the Republican
for Governor says: "rhe
rights of the colored men, if the re.
publicans 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
have. In other words, in all public
matters they will not be regarded as
negroes but as citizens of the common
wealth and STAND ON THE SAME
FOOTING-no better nor no worse
THAN THEIR WHITE BRETH-
REM" This is what Mr.. Lowndes
said and he does not deny it. White
men are you ready to see Mr.. Lown-
les carry out his idea? If you are in
favor of white supremacy vote the en-
tire Democratic ticket. The Republi-
cans and mugwumps carried North
Carolina last year and they have al
ready over one hundred negro magis-
trates in Office to say nothing of num-
merous other places. Prevent this
in Maryland by electing
the Democratic ticket.
