human nature was exhausted, she placidly

Therefore, when the Republican party :found
itself in control of the State government 'upon
the assembling of its Legislature in 1896, the
necessity Of making the election law potent
instrumentality for the maintenance of their
party supremacy was the chief thought in the
minds Of its astute partisans. To this end
completely new election and registration law
was promptly introduced and ultimately passed.
To the accomplishment of this partisan pur-
pose. three several means had been determined
upon:
!. To dispense with obligation TO secrecy on
the part of those who marked the ballots Of die
iliterates. and thereby subject the sc 900 Negro
voters to the surveillance of their white leaders
and thus TO resto-e the old state of affairs in
Southern Maryland and soiidify the Negro vote
throughout; the State
To revoke the restrictions imposed by the
registration law Of 1890 upon the colonization
OF Washington Negroes into the adjacent coun-
ties of Maryland
} To subject the counties 10 a wholly unnec-
essary new registration OF all voters, which IN
ISSs had proved to be such a partisan advan-
tage to their party-by reason Of the fact that
while many white voters neglected TO register,
the Negroes all registered with superstitious
punctuality.
