MECHANIC, FOR GOVERNOR.

of Maryland. encouraged by the popular
dates in 1894. and the self-conicsscd failure
of their political opponents to accomplish
the ends of good government, in the admin
istration either OF National or State affairs,
propose by the aid of her people, to place
the state in the solid Republican column.
Coming political events cast their shadows
before and are rapidly shaping the material
issues OF the year, which Democratic in
competency, disscnsion and defeat, have
Enthusiastically emphasized, in broken party
pledges and solemn promises unrcdeemed
to our people
These issues, of incalculablc importance
to our manufacturers, our farmers, our
commercial and industrial classes, have
been practically joined, in advance OF the
selection of the candidates of either party
in Maryland.
In their enunciation January anticipates
June.
The promised relief of the masses of our
people from the oppressive eXaction. OF an
unequal and incquitable system of taxa
ton
The unjust exemptions of capitalized and
corporate wealth from its legal share of the
public burden.
The reckless and defiant disregard of the
cardinal mandate of the states Constitu-
tlon, that every person III the State or
person holding property therein ought to
contribute his proportion of public taxes
'or the support OF the government according
20 his dctV"i WOrih in rcm or DcrSOHd prop-
rrty."
These are open and well defined issues,
now made up, before the tribunal of public
opinion, in the case of the people of Mary
land against the BOSSES" managers, "
and promoters of the Democratic ring 50
long dominant in the State.
Glad as the representatives Of the present
iynasty in Maryland may be to limit the
ISSUE of 1s95 solely to the question of
geassessment, the Republicans do not intend
to rest the issue there.
They intend to attack at every point in
State administration and legislation, the
tanning industrial policy of free trade,
which the people Of America have recently
so emphaticaIly condemned by their ballots.
The Republicans OF Mary land in behalf
of her industrial interests and her industrial
classes, in behalf of her manufacturers, her
producers, her coal miners, and her wage
earners in every department of industrial
enterprise, in the mill. in the mine, in the
shop, and on the farm, intend to attack to
its death in Maryland the Demo ratio
fallacy, that has laid its paalyzing hand
upon the industries of America.
They do not intend to look complacently
on, while every visible dollar of the poor
mans property is dragged to light, and the
earn undisturbed their colossal accumua
tons
And while they propose to enter the
campaign in this spirit, and with these
ultimate purposes steadily in view, they
hope to nominate a candidate to match the
platform, and do not intend to shape the
platform to suit the candidate.
civilian r. Malster of Cecil County as
the head of the ticket for 1895, is rapidly
becoming the watchword of Maryland
Republicans
Republicans of Maryland need not seek,
for they will not find better man, nor
safer exponent of true Republican princi-
pies.
In the spirit of loyalty to her sons that
always distinguished her, Cecil County
responds to the call for his nomination.
To his candidacy the WHIG pledges its
support, by every honorable effort, because
it believes that the Republican party of
Maryland should enter this campaign to
win
The personal preference the WING CON
fesses for Mr.. Malster as Cecil County
man, is not by any means the sole ground
of its gubernatorial choice but which rests
upon the recognition of his possession of
the essential qualifications of successful
candidate
Pre-. eminently of the people, born to no
privilege except of opportunity and of
labor, his life career exemplies that of so
many, whom the American people delight
to honor.
The barefooted boy on the towpath of the
Delaware and Chesapeake canal the manly
youth repairing the machinery of the farm
ers of Bohemia Manor, begrimed with the
sweat of honest labor, poor but trustful,
friendless but brave, the struggle for
start in life hardening the muscle and !
