registers and election officials ali over
the State are in possession of facts
gathered by these Democratic emu
merators at the expense of the whole
people, while Republicans were de-
MED access to the records which their
money helped to pay for, and Mr..
Schley and Governor Smith play fast
and loose with demand for a look
at the records in order to kill time I'M
til after it is too late for these facts to
do Republicans any good.
We should not be surprised to see a
bill introduced in the next Legisla-
ture, if it should happen to be Demo
cratic, to tax Republicans only for
the expense of the State government
and to exempt Democrats entirely.
Such law, in spirit, would be SINH
lar to the stand now taken by these
two Democratic ringsters to dodge
their plain duty in giving the people
of all parties the benefit of informa-
ton that was gathered at the public
expense. That the Democratic man
ayers are determined to win the cleo
tions of 1901 by fair means if possible,
by foul means if necessary, but to win
by any means, becomes more and
more apparent every day.
Mr.. Dooly, in one of his articles set
ting out the strong points of various
men as Democratic Presidential tim
Der, has this to say of Mr.. German:
Put Mr.. German in a room alone
with the election returns and you can
go out and buy the store boxes for
the bonfires.n Mr.. Dooly looks at
things through Democratic spectacles
but if a man ever said in Jest what
we in Maryland know to be hard facts
Mr.. Dooly has said it.
Whether Mr.. German will derive
any benefit from his sham State cen
sus, or the Democratic poll, which is
its correct name, and whether Gov
ernor Smith and Buchanan Schley
shall profit by their course in with
holding information paid for by the
people of the entire State, is for every
honest man and good citizen to an
swer for himself and upon the answer
of the voters will depend the future
fortunes of this job lot of politicians
who are ready to do anything to fur
Their their political fortunes or win
out for their scheming associates.

LET CZOLGoSz DIE OBsCURELY.

The warden of the Auburn prison,
where Czolgosz, the murderer of Pres
ident Mckinley, awaits the death
penalty, is sorely puzzled by the great
demand made upon him for admit
lance to the execution. He finds that
the law provides for but few spec
tators, and he is trying to reconcile
the provisions of the law with the
morbid curiosity of the public.
1t is unnecessary that the warden
should be at all disturbed. There is
but one thing for him to do-follow
the provisions of the law. In doing
this he will be serving the public best,
even the morbid members of the pub
lie who wish to see the execution.
Attending such scene can do good
to nobody. The officers of the law. a
few physicians-a sufficient number
of witnesses to see that the sentence
has been carried out properly-will
be quite adequate to meet all require
ments of the occasion.
Anarchist assassins and their sym
pathizers love notoriety, and the
worst thing that can happen to them
is that the death of the criminal be
as obscure as ignominious. Nothing
would be better deterrent to similar
crimes. Newspapers that have the
good of the public at heart will not
make the death of this assassin an
occasion for any great spread" Let
the public know that the vicious life
has been snuffed out-that is all.
Thus far, in dealing with Czolgosz
every act has been eminently proper
and well considered. The same good
Judgment should be persisted in to
the baltimore News.

THE Democratic party is committed
to many measures that are an OPP
preston and injustice to the people
and if that party is continued in
power it is useless to expect that
there will be any change for any bet
ter; on the contrary-especially in
reference to the disfranchisement of
voters-additional laws may be ex-
pected that will render future at
tempts of Republicans and Independ-
ents to change these conditions futile,
and the burdens will be added to.
For this reason if for no other, every
other consideration except the defeat
of the Democrats should be laid aside
and the greatest possible effort made
to accomplish this result.

Democratic Meeting.

Our friends the Democrats had
their much advertised meeting on
Friday evening last in Offutt's Hall.
The local band rendered several fine
selections in from of the hall and a
number of the large crowd outside
wandered in to listen to the lights
from afar give their version of the
campaign.
The meeting was presided over by
&. S. Hamill, Esq, who introduced
the speakers. j. Frank Turner, Dem
ocratic candidate for Clerk of the
Court of Appeals, was the first talker
and both he and j. E. N. Wood, of
Frederick, made the principal theme
OF their discourses the negro question.
According to our Democratic friends
the State seems to be in imminent
danger of being swallowed wholesby
the "black PERIL but still the people
of Garrett county have not felt the
least fear on this score. They also
talked about the census and as is al
ways the case laid the fault of the
State census to the Republican party,
saying that it was on account of the
frauds perpetrated in the Federal
census that the new one became nee
essary. According to their views the
G. o. P. must have sinned times with
out number and things would come
to pretty pass if the Democrats
would not win out on Nov. 5th.
Candidate Turner, after naming the
several heroes of the party of Jeffer-
son, sounded forth in clarion notes
the name of A. P. German as a type
of Democrat all should follow. Mr..
Turner must have felt somewhat
chagrined at it's reception as beyond
few faint hand clippings from the
faithful in the front row not a sound
was heard.
After the oratorical pyrotechnics
of Mr.. Wood had ceased the meeting
adjourned.
Query: How many converts to the
Democratic ranks did the meeting
produce?

THE NEW CRIME OF 1901,

AS the years go by and the times
change, many things which our fore
fathers looked upon as innocent, or if
not that, harmless, regrettable or
unfortunate, assume the proportions
of crime. In former years not to be
able to read or write was a misfor-
tune in 1901 not to be able to read
or write is crime and its punishment
is loss of vote.
For twenty-five years the Demo
cratic party had held practically I'M
disputed sway in Maryland politics.
During all that time it was never said
in any of lis platforms nor in the
councils of its leaders, that the man
who could not read or write was not
entitled to vote. On the contrary,
that party was exceedingly fond of
posing as the friend of the poor man.
the man who had little opportunities
for educat ion in early life, or to use
their own diction, they claimed to be
the friends of the masses as against
the classes. They fondly dreamed
that they were so firmly entrenched
in the affections of Marylands people
that the scepter of power would never
pass into other hands, but the cleo
ton of 1895 was rude awakening to
them from their pleasant slumbers,
and for four years the Republicans
directed well the State government.
In 1899 they again came back into
power, and the shaking up they had
received seems to have unsettled the
nerves of their leaders, and they now
resort to any device or scheme to
save themselves from a possible recur.
renee of the events of 1895, and one of
their pet measures becomes the doc
trine that the men who cannot read
or write shall not vote.
Their fondness for the poor man,
the unfortunate, the uneducated dis
solves of a sudden into the skeleton of
hypocrisy, and the cherished doctrine
that all men are born free and equal,
one of the supposed cornerstones upon
which Democracy rests, is cast to the
winds. They now come out boldly
and say that the man who cannot
read or write is not equal to the man
who can, and they propose to shut
out from the voting booth all those
voters who have been so unfortunate
as to receive no education in their
youth. To such straits is Democracy
driven; such desperate steps to save
its tottering were made necessary in
the judgment of their leaders by
conditions which endangered not the
the welfare of the State, but the ex-
istence of a political party that had
outlived the day of its usefulness.
In 1901 the man who cannot read or
write, by this Democratic party that
catered to his vote in years gone by,
that cajoled, flattered and petted the
man in the humble and lowly walks
of life, and called itself his friend and
special advocate, is reduced to the
level of the convict who has served
his term in the penitentiary. So far
as either are concerned, they are both
debarred from any share in State or
County government, the one because
he is convicted felon; the other, be-
cause in the days of his youth instead
of going to school he had to work to
support perhaps widowed mother,
or infant brothers and sisters. The
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-10-17

fact that he owns property, pays
taxes, lives uprightly, is doing better
for his children than was ever done
for him counts for nothing. He is
ruthlessly cast aside because the
seeming necessities of the politicians
of the Democratic party require it..
For the Democratic illiterate such is
his reward for years of party loyalty,
and he pays this penalty because the
leaders of his party think that the
only way to maintain themselves in
power is to disfranchise enough Re
publicans so as to make Democratic
victory certain in 1901.

THE REASONS, REAL AND SHAM, FOR
THE STATE CENSIJS.


The reasons given by the Demo
cratic ring, which dominates Mary
land politics, for forcing upon the
taxpayers the expense of State cen
sus were, that the Federal census was
so contrary to the popular belief, and
would result in such undue represen-
tation in the General Assembly of a
certain section, as to force the con-
viction that the Federal census. either
by accident or design, would cause
great injustice to the people of the
entire State.
How Mr.. German and Mr.. Rasin
and the rest of the gang must have
snickered to themselves when they
framed that excuse for the outrage
which they then were about to per-
petrate upon the people of Maryland.
10 correct q wrong against the peo-
pie of the entire State sounds very
well. But that was not the reason
why the State census was wanted.
This same wrong was corrected by
the authorities taking the Federal
census at no expense to the State
whatever. What the Democratic
managers wanted was not correct
census but some excuse for an oppor-
tunity to get partisan advantage
over the Republicans whom they saw
were getting far too strong in this
State and were jeopardizing the
chances of this precious lot of rings
tiers to maintain themselves forever
in control of the politics of Maryland.
1t has been demonstrated time and
time again that the State census was
carelessly taken and that its results
are not as correct and reliable as the
figures reached by the Federal au-
thorities.
The great stake to be played for in
the campaign of 1901 is Mr.. Germans
return to the United States Senate.
AS first step to this end, it was i'm
portant to ascertain exactly how
many Democrtic votes could be placed
upon the registration books and how
many Republican votes could be kept
off, and to get at these facts poll of
the entire State was necessary. For
the Democratic managers to get this
information would cost them a good
round sum of money. 1t was wiser
in their judgment to save this for the
purpose of use on election day, and
SO they conceived the brilliant idea
of making the taxpayers, both Re-
publicans and Democrats, pay for
their poll..of the State, and the SAC, 900
which the taxpayers have paid in is
the amount which the Democratic
managers have saved for their uses
in the campaign. AS financial saw
ing, this method of getting partisan
information is certainly a work of
art. Whether Mr.. German, Mr.. Rasin,
Mr.. Vandiver, Mr.. Baughman or Mr..
Schley deserves the credit from a
party point of view for conceiving
this brilliant scheme, we do not know
and it makes but little difference, as
they will all share in the profits to be
derived from it, if there are any.
There is nothing more needed to
convince any fair minded man of the
truth of the charge that the State
census was only scheme behind
which to hide bitterly partisan pur-
poses, than the fact that Democratic
