the BALTIMORE ELECTION.

As a device for furthering the pres
identisi ambitions OF ex-senator Cor
man the new Maryland ballot law
Judged by the returns OF the Baiti-
more eIection--is a failure. The law
not only scais the political doom Of
German but appears 10 foreshadow
Republican supremacy In the state.
Much to the surprise OF the poIti-
clans OF both parties the frst munic-
lpal election In Baltimore. held on
Tuesday last. resulted in a sweeping
victory for the Republicans. The
Republicans carried eighteen out OF
t~enty-four wards. The significant
feature Of the returns. however. was
the iishtness Of the negro vote. indI-
eating a disposition on the part Of
this element to abstain from taking
any risks under the requiremtnts Of
the new ballot law.
This is Just what was Intended by
the trainers OF the German bill. but
II was not expected that II would op-
crate In favor OF the Republicans As
a matter OF fact. however. many well
Informed Democrats Ia Maryland pre-
hf't'H tpfr ''HofAs Htu ~ vi
Democratic legislators refused to sup
port the measure
Although advocated by German to
further his own political designs. the
Maryland banot Law contains fea-
| lures that commend IT to the most
enlightened American citizenship.
Unlike the disfraDchiscment laws en-.
| acted In North and South CaroIina.
MissIssippi and Louisiana. the Mary.
land law actually provides for an in.
teliigent suffrage; at least II comes
rs near to IL as possible under our
democratic system Of government
The law forbids all party emblems.
such as are used In Indiana. for in.
stance. to guide the ignorant voter.
II also forbids party columns. and re.
qulres the voter to mark the name OF
each individual candidate for whom he
wishes to vote.
The law is better than It's intended
