What Has Been Shown.

While the speeches made by the
Republican candidates have been
few, they have been sufficient to
prove certain things with much clear
ness. By division of pertinent sub
jects, Governor Lowndes and Comp
troller Goldsborough have been en-
abled to discuss questions of state
government at such length and with
such lucidity that controversy is
throttled. Mr.. Findlay has not con-
fined himself to state issues, but in
an able and convincing manner has
discussed national issues, at the same
time effectually punctuating the fal-
lacies the Democrats dignity as issues.
As result of the speeches made, it
may be accepted that the following
points have been clearly proved
That the election law is Republi-
can enactment.
That the free school book law is q
Republican enactment.
That police reorganization is Re
publican proposition, destined to be
carried to realization if the Republi-
cans win this election.
That the tobacco warehouses have
been removed from politics and made
to produce a revenue for the state,
instead of continuing a burden
That, though they have numerous
opportunities, the Democrats repeat
| edly failed to grant these reforms to
the state.
That order has been preserved and
the laws enforced as fully and as i'm
partially as ever under Democratic
regime.
That interest on the state debt has
been reduced from six to three pei
cent, and the debt itself reduced by
$408,21O
That the total reduction of the
state debt would have been 81 COS, pit
had not the state constructed a new
penitentiary, and new buildings a
the second Hospital for the Insan,
and the House of Correction.
That the increment of the sinkins
fund amounts to 81, ,139,051 under Re

ly preceding 1895.

As Seen by Other Eyes.

The tendency toward non-partisan-
ship in the filling of places on the
bench has received an impetus in
Maryland from the recent action of
Governor Lowndes in the appoint
ment of judge. The Governor is a
Republican, but he filed vacancy
with Democrat who is conspicuous
ly qualified for judicial service.
Some minded partisans have
condemned this display of a non-par-
tisan spirit, but there can be no ques-
ton that Governor Lowndes is a
stronger candidate for reelection by
reason of it. The Maryland eXecu-
tive, by the way, has shown repeat
edly before this that he does not
believe in one party's seizing all OF
the Offices that it can. Several years
ago the power of appointing school
boards throughout the State was
taken from the judges of the various
circuits and placed in the hands of the
Governor. This change was made
by the German machine in order tC
convert the boards into Democratic
agencies, and when the Republican,
carried the State four years ago there
were only two counties in which ther,
was any representation of the Repub
liban party. While no law has sine,
been enacted to exclude politics from
the management of the schools, Gov
ernor Lowndes has given the minorit.

A Great TEXANS Conversion.

ExGov. James S. Hogg, of Texas,
is fine man weighing some $50
pounds, and whenever he puts his
foot down something must give way.
On last Sunday the Ex-Governor
brought down his number fifteen
pedal extremity in way that shook
the solid earth for miles and miles in
the vicinity of the State House at
Austin.
AS Saul, while on his way to Da-
mascus, suddenly saw the light of
truth, so the ponderous Texas states
man. heretofore the loyal compatriot
of Mr.. Bryan in the dogmas of free
silver and anti-expansion, has been
strangely converted from at least one
of the errors of his ways. On last
Sunday, without premonition of what
was coming, Mr.. Hogg announced
that he had changed his views about
the Philippines. at is now the duty
of the United States,n said he, "to
shoot hell out of the Filipinos and
bring the war to an end; the Philip
pines now belong to the Uuited
States, and it is for Congress to say
what we shall do with them
While the country will not agree
with Governor Hogg that we ought
to sulphurously assault the Filipinos
in the manner indicated, it will be re-
joiced to learn that the scales have
at last fallen from the Texas states
mans eyes, and that he has recog-
nized the right and obligation of the
United States to suppress the Aguin-
aldo insurrection. To do this we will
of course have to do some shooting,
but probably not so much as the fiery
and valiant Texan suggests.
While it might be little barbaric
to 'shoot hell'' out of the revolters,
it will be the proper caper to at least
shoot the insurrection out of them.
There's nothing like keeping within
the bounds of propriety.
The Republican., 1899-10-19

VIM. Cabell Bruce, the man on
whose head the German ring has
heaped imprecations because of his
fearless stand for the right, has told
how the election law now on the
statute books of Maryland was pass
ed, and how it was opposed by the
present democratic candidate for
Governor. German said that the
passage of that law meant the rele-
eating of the Democratic party to the
rear. His leader in the State Senate
was Mr.. Smith with DR.. Herring as a
lieutenant. These gentlemen oppos-
ed the fair election law, under which
both parties have an equal repE&N y
tation, law by which the opportu-
nifty for fraud is reduced to the min
imum and III fact nearly eliminated,
because the Democratic boss passed
the word to defeat it. The fair infer
ence to be drawn from Mr.. Smiths
action is that under Il fair election
law the Democratic party had no
chance of controlling the State If
the Democratic party had no chance
of controlling the State with a fair
election, it was tacit admission that
the Republicans were in the majority
and the State had only been held by
unfair means, suppression of the
voice of the people, stufling ballot
boxes, etc, etc. To a Democratic
partisan and ringster this may ap-
pear all right as a means to accom-
plish an end, but the great and
growing mass of intelligent voters,
the thinking men, the respectable.

men, the healthy heart blood of the
community, who do not mistake
principle and become blind 10 it be-
cause it is championed by this party

zens.prefer right and wrong justice to
prejudice or the advancement of
political machines, and will register
their disapproval of III November
of a man wlo would oppose the light
because he was ordered to do so, and
lend his aid to suppress the express
sion of the will of the people to fur
ther the interests of ring and do the
bidding of an ambitious boss.
The Republican., 1899-10-19

Now that the old Democratic ma
chine is anxious to get back into
power it has instructed its State can
didates TO advocate all manner of
reform with the hope that the people
will forget its debauchery and wick
edness when it was in control of the
State government. The old mana
gers imagine that the voters are will
ing to condone the robbery of the
State out of over hundred thousand
dollars by Stevenson Archer, when he
had charge of the Treasury Depart
ment; that they are ready to over
look election frauds perpetrated by
Democratic henchmen; that they are
ready to forget assaults upon respec-
table citizens and driving them from
the polls on election day. In short
that all the outrages and crimes
which used to characterize the meth
ods of the old Democratic managers
must not be referred to any more
These things are too fresh in the
minds of the people to be forgotten.
The Republican., 1899-10-19

During the past week the political
tide has risen strongly in favor of the
Republican ticket and all the present
indications point to the triumphant
reelection of Governor Lowndes and
his associate nominees. In Baltimore
City this is particularly the case, and
the Republicans there are not only
united and harmonious, but are Sc
curing the active aid of a large pro-
portion of those Independent Demo
Gratis who did so much heroic work
for the cause of good government in
1895. Day after day has seen acces-
sions to the ranks of those who are
working to re-elect Governor Lowndes
and no one need be surprised to see
the election on November nth take
on the proportions of Republican
tidal wave.
The Malster Republicans, under the
leadership of Mayor Malster himself,
are doing great work for the ticket,
and all hope the Democrats may
have had that Republican divisions
in Baltimore would aid them has been
lost. and they find that they will have
to depend entirely on their own ex-
ertions. The Republicans are united,
a large number of influential Demo
Gratis have announced their intention
to support Governor Lowndes, and
the cohorts Of the old ring are be-
ginning to show signs of distress and
in their management of
the contest.
The people of Maryland are not
ready to return the German -Rasin
crowd to power and will repudiate
them again ON November 18th.

expenses has been reduced two cents
on each 800
That, with reduced taxes, the Re-
publicans have expended $291. .O22
more in support of the public school
system than was spent by the Demo
Gratis in the preceding four years.
That the Republicans have in
creased the revenues from the tax on
gross receipts of corporations by over
$217,O54.
That the expenditure to charitable
and educational institutions have
increased $226,044 over those made
by the Democrats.
That the collections on account of
interest on public funds have in.
creased $19,594 under the Republi-
cans.
This is but a part of the good
government" record proved by the
candidates to have been made by the
Republicans. 1t is, however, an
unimpeachable portion, and, in the
face of it, it is inconceivable that
anyone who voted for Lowndes in
1895, then believing his election would
mean better government, should vote
against him this year. Another Re-
publican triumph would give the
Republicans an opportunity to show
the full lengths to which they are
capable of going in their efforts to
give the state perfect government.
No man can mistake the Republi-
can record. No man can mistake his
duty. The best interests of the state
demand the reelection of Lowndes
and the success of the Republican
state, county and legislative tickets.
The Republican., 1899-10-19

The record made by the Republican
party in the last four yeals in this
State is proud one. Every pledge
was fulfilled and the State elections
converted from a revel of thugs under
which the German ring prospered, to
quiet, decent, orderly affairs through
which the people were able to express
their sentiments. Call to mind the
conditions which existed when the
ring flourished and was apparently
immoyably entrenched in power. Re-
member how little the rights of citi
zens were regarded. How little chance
a self-respecting voter had to express
his sentiments, how rowdyism ran
riot, and how the name of the State
was disgraced. And then consider
the present conditions.
The Democratic ring, the old ma
chine, controlled the State conven-
tion and named ticket in a manner
so similar to the practices worn thread
bare by the old German crowd that it
was ridiculous. These candidates
were placed upon a platform which
for piteous weakness has not been ex-
celled. The ring-made combination
was then thrust out as the standard
bearers of the Democratic party on a
platform of Democratic principles.
The whole proceeding is so transpar-
ent that there can be but one answer
to it at the polls. The same men who
controlled the convention drew the
platform, determining to make the
fight unpledged and unhampered by
any promises to care for the peoples
interests, preferring defeat to be re-
turned to power with any restrictions
on the exercise of the lustful misgov-
ernment in which they reveled before
the people rebuked them at the polls.
1t is not likely that the citizens will
be mislead by any such bold bid for
power as the German ring is making.
