Tho Citizens to Answer.
A question has been propounded to
the citizens of this State by the two
great political parties and they are
asked to give their reply on Novem-
Der 18th next. The question is this
Do you prefer to entrust the admin
istration of the State affairs in the
hands of the party which has in four
years redeemed every pledge of good
government and reform made to the
people, or do you prefer to entrust
the State in the hands of the party
which for thirty years never carried
out one reform or kept one promise,
but plunged the State into debt,
shame and dishonor.
See how the proposition is put to
you. Voter, consider how the parties
ask you for your support, and then
after fair consideration, with a mind
free from prejudice, arrive at con-
clusion, at a reasonable and sensi-
BILE deduction from the facts in the
case.
The Republican party has Just
about rounded out the first four
years of administration of State af-
fairs after nearly thirty years of Dem
ocratic misrule. During that four
years the interests of the State and
people have been kept always in mind
by the officials and carefully guarded
and continuously advanced. Now
this party with this record asks you
to express your approval of its con-
duct, to show your appreciation of it's
action in fulfilling its pledges and to
attest your appreciation of public af-
fairs being conducted on business
principles. This party further prom
ises that in the event the citizens
again repose their affairs in it's hands
it will continue the work of reform
and guard as carefully the States
best interest as heretofore. This
party says distinctly and plainly
what it will do, announces what it
believes and boldly asks the voters
for their support. On the other hand
the voters of the State are asked to
support party which has in it's plat
form not one single promise, not one
single pledge, not an offer to aid or
abet the best interests, the vital in
terests, of the State 1t does not an
nounce itself as favoring a single
measure that is deemed necessary. 1t
simply asks the voters to return it to
power with it's record of German
Rasin misrule. 1t does not promise
to better this record in the future.
The Democratic party does not pledge
itself to good government and fair
elections, but simply asks the people
to support it, hoping to secure enough
votes to carry it into power, and if
the necessary votes are forthcoming
it will be unhampered by any promise
or pledge.
Maryland for years under Demo-
cratic misrule had been merely base
OF operations for scheming politicians
whose expanding ambitions rested
greedy eyes upon the presidential
chair. To maintain a powerful poll
tical machine intact, to further the
inordinate ambitions of the leader,
everything was made subservient to
the machine and to it's minions. The
price of advancement was not fealty
to party or to the State but fealty to
the machine. Every worker, every
henchman, and every leader of promi-
nence could have what he demanded
at the expense of the people, party

A MAMMOTH tin-plate trust has been
organized in England. Now what
becomes of the Democratic contention
that the trusts only flourish in a ma

be necessary to revise that Demo
cratic fairy tale.

REPUBLICANS have the argument
this year. They have every reason
for voting, and for inviting Democrats
to join them in casting vote of con-
fidence in the Republican admins
tration which dispelled the Cleveland
hard times. Democrats have no
ground for asking Republican help
this year.

RAYNER arraigned German and
then went into Gorman's fold. He
now wants to be elected to serve
German, not the people, for a man
cannot serve two masters, for he will
cling to one and despise the other.
Rayner cannot serve German and the
people at the same time.

EVERY school teacher in the State

Outside the city are 10000 natives,
armed with knives and spears. They
are anxiously waiting to be allowed en-

In Negros, a nearby island, it is re-

Several schooners loaded With men are

Every hour of delay is made to count

Flipinos should meet with defeat the
town will be burned.

Spanish gunboat El Caro is still lying
Just off the fort, and it was reported
that some 1000 stands of arms had been

HIS TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
Aguinaldo Realizes That His Goose Is
Cooked.

Cooked.
Washington, Feb. S.--There was an
almost complete release to-day of the
tension under which the rapid occur
renee of events in the Philippines has
held the officials Of the administration
since the first startling news from Ma
nila on Saturday night. This was
brought about through the receipt of
bulletin from General Otis summing up
the latest results of the fighting he has
had with the natives. The statement
that Aguinaldo's influence has been
destroyed and that the Filipino leader
was seeking for cessation of hostili-
ties and for a conference was most ac-
ceptable, and was interpreted as an ad-
mission that he had realized his terri
BILE mistake. 1t is entirely improbable
that he will be able to obtain anything
like the same terms as We're possible
last week. No one here knows just what
General Otis intends to impose in the
way of terms. Secretary Alger this af-
ternoon repeated his statement of yes
terday that he had given the general
no instructions since the battle, and
saw no reason for giving any. He real
ized, he said, that General Otis, being
on the ground and having proved his
fitness, was in better position to deal
with the situation than any one in
Washington. Should the general ask
permission therefore to do anything he
would be granted permission immed-
lately.
SHOULD h ask for instructions on any
point" said Secretary Alger, ''he will
be told to exercise his own discretion
In this view Of the case it will be seen
that no one here cen at present tell how
General Otis was dealing toward Aguin-
aldo's application. Eut the opinion is
EXPRESSED by men here Who know Cen
eral Otis experience with the Indians
that he will make the laying down of
arms the condition OF dealing with the
insurgents at all, and that II that condi-
tion is met Of course it will mean a
speedy terminal tiOn of the rebellion.

Washington, Feb S.--Despite reports
to the contrary, no conclusion has been
reached by the high joint commission
