Maryland Democrats Hope for Much.

BY Associated Press.
Annapolis, Nd. March 20.-The
most important change in existing
methods accomplished by the enact
ment of the Acknowledgement law lies
in depriving illiterate voters of the as
sistance of ballot clerks in preparing
ballots.
The Democrats expect that it will
disfranchise about $4,000 negroes and
perhaps 5000 whites. 1t is claimed
that all the negroes and about fifty per
cent of the illiterate whites
vothe the Republican ticket,
With these out of the way it is
held that the state will be safely DEM
ocratic for many years to come and the
immediate result will be the election
of Democratic legislature next fall
and of Democrat to succeed United
States Senator Wellington in 1902.
