Well knowing the system of intimidation and
coercion by which the Negro vote had been
compacted and made controlling force in
their communities, and the deceptive methods
under the old system by which they had been
evaded, the Democratic leaders and press IN
the Southern Maryland counties, when the
Australian system of voting was being consid-
cred by the Legislature of 1890, very naturally
entertained and expressed grave apprehensions
lest its application to the ilItcrate coored vot-
ers might prove TO be an ins;runentaiity of
again compacting the Negro vote and restor-
ing the bad domination which had proved so
hurful to their section. o On the other hand,
the Republican leaders in the Ncgro-dominated
section, chagrfned and alarmed at the large
detection in the Negro vote which had mani
tested itself in the few preceding yers. and

The essential principle of the Australian bal
lot system, which has sustained public senti-
ment in many States of the Union in incorpor-
ating its cuubrous and expensive provisions
into their election laws, is that it affords to the
individual voter the privilege of voting 4 secret
ballot. This privilege, thus so dearly supposed
to be attained, has been understood to etfec-
tually rid the voter from the domination and
power of those who may have controlling in
iuence. by reason of other relations in life,
over his individual political action. Upon this
ground. solely, of securing liberty of action in
the exercise of his elective franchise on the
part of the individual voter, freed from the
control of those who in 4 position to
ercisc a cocrcive or intimidating influence
upon him, has the Australian ballot system ap-
pcaled to the favor OF the advocates of election
reform and this single and distinctive feature,
as has been already stated is the essential prir-
ciplc of the system. 1t must follow, therefore,
that any law purporting to cmbody the Aus
tralian system, which, instead of freeing the de-
pendent class of voters from the espionage,
perviSion and domination on the class whose
influence and resentment they fear and are
subscrvient to, subjects them more completely
and domination. is sham reform which ought
to have the condemnation and not the support
of honest men.

In States largely engaged in manufacturing
industries, corporate works md the like, where
the dependent laborers, who were subjected to
the controlling influence of their employers,
for the most part men capable of reading
and marking their own ballots, the Australian
ballot machinery, which screens the voter while
in the act of voting from all espionage and su-
pervision, exercises very salutary influence in
securing a free and untrammelcd expression
of the popular will. The domination in politi-
cal matters of corporations and other large
ploycrs of human labor had grown to be 4 po-
tent and dangerous influence in elections, and
the Australian system as an elective reform
has grown in favor as 4 remedy to this great
and growing mischief.

But gradually, through the amcIioratinC in
huencc Of daily and neighborly intercourse with
the whites, this condition of compact> race an
tagonism began TO show evidences -of reIaxa-
tion among the more kindly disposed of the
Negroes and after years experience under
the first National Democratic administration
demonstrated that they would not be put back
into slavery by the Democrats" as direfully
predicted to them at midnight gatherings
many of them quietly and unknown to their
political masters voted the Democratic ticket
with the result that in the election of 1885 all
the counties OF the Southern Maryland pcnir-
sula at single stroke threw off the incubus
OF Negro domination. This secret ballot the
well disposed Colored voter was enabled to
cast under the old system. when the respective
tickets of the opposing political parties were
printed on separate ballots and so delivered to
him. He would conceal the Democratic ticket
which had previously been delivered to him
and which he desired to vote, carefully in his
pocket, and then joining the vociferous cnlored
procession would march up to their partisan
boss, the Republican ticket holder, and re-
ceiving i ticket from him. march along up to
the window quite as enthusiastic as any of the
rest. But he would easily manage in the en-
thusiaSm OF the occasion to make the Rcpubli-
can and Democratic tickets which he carried
exchange places, and the latter would go into
the ballot box from the hands of an apparently
enthusiastic colored Republican. In this way
the well meaning colorcd citizen was enabled
cleverly to avoid the disfavor of his white
bosses, the ostTacisn of his colorcd brethren
and above all the repeatedly threatened and
much feared vengeance of the dear % ones al
home

Another notable feature of this extraordinary
trick in partisan legislation is the rnaniieStly
deliberate and prcconcerted manner III which
it is SO framed as to evade during the FIRST two
years of its operation its pretended pro-
visions for the protection of the minority party.
The better to obscure its real purpose of ,parti-
san iniquity, the bill as presented pretended to
afford to the minority safe guarantee of hon
est representation upon the all important board
of election supervisors who are placed IN com
plcte control OF this lngenlously contrivcd cleo
ton nachincry.L The very hrSt subsection OF
the bill provided that the members OF this i'm
portant board, representing political party,
persons recommended by the State central
committees representing each OF the two lead
to effectually offset that great show OF fairness
it was ingcniously provided in the last section
but of the long bill that II before the pas
sage of this act the Governor, by and with the
advice OF the present Senate, shall have ap-
pointed under then existing laws supervisors
of elections or any of them, for the various
counties of the State or for said city, s0ch ap-
pointmcntS advised and consented to, shall
stand and remain valid to all Intents and pur-
poses as if made under the provisions OF this
act This bill being ready for introduction at
the commencement of the session, and being IN
fact introduced in the early days, the thought
full insertion of this important proviso Clearly
foreshadowcd 4 purpose. afterwards made man
ifcst of holding back the final passage of the
election bill until after the supervisors had
been appointed. 1t was well known to the par
tisan authors of the measure that the Rcpubli-
can Governor could obtain the consent of tho
present Senate" to the appointment of super
visors to represent the Democratic party which
no Democratic committee would have consent
ed to. Thus the partisan trick of deceit
fully cvading its own provisions until the Re
publican party should have an opportunity of
cntrcnching itself IN power long enough TO
secure both of the United States Senators and
give the electoral vote of the State to RePub-
iican President, shrcwdly accomplished. As
result of this last mentioned trfck II Is known
that the Democratic party was defTauded out
Of many thousand votes in baltimore city and

the last election Q Il will only be through the
aroused vigilance of the Democratic masses
that similar result will be averted In the COM

Thus it is clearly made to appear that by re-
pealing the strict oath required OF the ballot
clerk and all penalties for its violation, all re-
who supervise the voting of the iiliterates, and
the illiteratc Negro voters of the State
thereby subjected to the strictest surveillance
In point of fact proof can be adduced from the
Southern Maryland counties that this change
in the law impressed on the coored voters
in the campaign OF 1906, and they were thereby
intimidated and solidified at the last election.

Just before the casting yesterday one of
