young Democratic politician of
Accident district. After he had
read his first and master resolution
he fell in the esteem of the afore-
said people about one hundred
per cent. SO far as political sagaeity
and the love of fair play and good
judgment goes.
In other portions of the State
where the colored man is much
more in evidence than in Garrett
county We have read of politicians
resolving against him but we hardly
expected to witness the sorry spec
Jacle OF the great Democratic
aggregation of this county where
there are less than fifty colored
voters, introduce a resolution for
men of mature minds to swallow
praying to be delivered from this
awful evil of negro domination.
In Southern Maryland the most
conspicuous argument put forth by
the Democratic manipulators is
that the election of Mr.. Lowndes
will give us colored constables,
mixed schools and negro dominance
in the State. How absurd is this
when 1t is the purpose of the Re-
publican party to give back to the
state its local self government. If
elected Mr.. Lowp des will not, nor
does he care to have the power to
appoint constables and election
officers. The control of the schools
will not be in his hands. Each
county will govern its own internal
affairs, and the continuance IN
power of any party in the counties
will depend entirely upon the man
ner they perform the duties of the
offices entrusted to them. Beneath
and beyond all these surface indie
atives, to the mind of the political
student, there is involved in this
campaign principle of most vital
Importance to the welfare of Balti-
more city apd the State of Mary
land. The Baltimore Sun opens the
clear sky of new world about to
be ushered in for the political abode
of this State. To hear this infu-
entail paper proclaim that the race
question in this State is dead
issue, is long stride in the way of
progress. To hear this organ in
emphatic tones declare that the
Confederate soldier will not scare at
that threadbare argument is saying
much. What all this means is that
the Sun and every student of the
times has full knowledge of the
fact that the prosperity and the
welfare of the State are at stake in
this campaign. The Suns inter-
ests are identical with the vast
business interests of Baltimore city.
She has built up the greatest paper
of the south by keeping in touch
with the people and the times.
The city of New York has puri-
fed its public service. Nearly
every city and state in the north
has cast off It's old customs, worth
less ordinances, and corrupt public
service. New Jersey has lately
gone through process of political
publication. If Baltimore city and
the State of Maryland hope to keep
up in progress with these states it
can do so only by following in their
footsteps. She must cast off the
old and put on the new. The pc.
litical parasites that cling to hel
public offices like barnacles, must
be thrown aside. Maryland can.
not afford to stand still while the
great procession of the other states
is moving onward and upward,
The San and all the business men
of the State know this. Our future
welfare must be mutual. Business
success and social advancement
means success to the progressive,
wide-awake ana representative
press. Let no one be deceived by
the paltry arguments of the greedy
office holders. Do with all your
might that which will tend to ad'
vance every interest, purify public
