To the Democrats of Maryland:

| All proper diligence has been used tC
make our registration accurate and com
plete. In the counties you have PROVED
your appreciation Of the significance ant
Importance of the coming election by turn
ing out in your strength and registering
| your full vote. And in Baltimore city il
| is believed that the registration indicates
| a great awakening of the Democracy anC
a resolute purpose to do their whole duty
to their party and their state.
Democrats who have neglected to reg
lister cannot help us with their votes, but
they can be of service by devoting at least
some part of election day i'll doing every
thing in their power to bring our voters to
the polls. This service | earnestly urge
them to render.
Maryland is a Democratic state. The
be in the hands of the Republicans. But
she cannot be redeemed without vigorous,
systematic and enthusiastic work, nor
without the hearty and generous co-opera-
where she really belongs-in the Demo-
cratic column.
Our registered voters should therefore
feel the necessity of being at the polls in
full force, and as early on the morning of
election day, as reasonably practicable.
subcommittee in each precinct should
provide themselves with a full list of the
voters, and see that none of our friends
neglect to vote This requires organiza-
ton, and it means labor and vigilance.
But the stake is worth all the time-all the
labor-all the energy it shall cost to win it.
Two years ago the Republicans elected
ma ority of the House of Delegates. But
our majority in the Senate enabled Us not
only to check vicious legislation, but to
impress cur views upon the measures which
were enacted.
The consent of the Republican House
and of the Democratic Senate being equal
ly necessary to the passage of every law,
we must take our full share of response
bility for errors and shortcomings and are
fully entitled with the Republicans to
credit for whatever good was accomplished
in the way of legislation.
Their majority on joint ballot enabled
them, however, to send a Republican to
the United States Senate and to elect u
State Treasurer and two members of the
Of d, Il; IF a1f
more CITY,
The election of our State ticket this year
will give us one member of the Board of
Public Works: and Il majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature will restore to us
control of the Board of Public Works by
giving us the State Treasurer and put it in
our power also to elect a United States
Senator.
1t is of the utmost Importance, there
fore, that our full registered vote shall be
cast
The reports which come to us from all
parts of the State are full of encourage
ment, and all that is needed to secure Il
most gratifying triumph is harmonious
and well-Organized effort.
Should we be so unfortunate rs to lose
our State ticket and both branches of the
Legislature, the power of the Republicans
will be absolute. We may in such event
look for the calling of Convention to re-
model and revolutionize our Constitution
and the people of Baltimore city will have
put upon them New Charter" framed
with view to the perpetuation of Repub-
lican control of their municipal affairs.
These considerations, so obvious to all
who are at all acquainted with the plans
and purposes of the Republican Party of
Maryland, should stir you to a deep de-
termination to regain your political con
troll of the State.
You can do this if you will heartily and
tremendously address yourselves to the
work.
Put aside, beg of you, all personal dis
appointments and differences Think only
of the consequences of complete Repuhli-
can supremacy, and go to the polls on
election day in all the streng 9Th of thor
oughly reunited party.
Vote the whole Democratic
ticket.
Make your Y mark in the blank square
after the party emblem of jackson and
Liberty, and thus give yourselves the
right to personally and individually share
in the glory of Marvlands political reren-
