DEMOCRATS DO YOUR DUTY.

The Egis makes the last anti
election appeal to the voters of Har-
ford county to do their full duty on
next Tuesday There are many rea-
sons which should prompt every
Democrat to take all interest in the
election and so far as space would
allow we have endeavored to bring
these facts to the attention of the
people. The campaign is now practi-
cally closed and both sides are pre-
pairing for The struggle OH election
day. Every Democrat should go to
the polls and not only vote, but aid
in getting out the full strength of the
party. In spite of all that can be
said or done there are certain people
in this world who must be reminded
of their duty as citizens. They do
not seem to attach the proper i'm
portance to their right Of franchise
and unless their memory is logged
they are apt to forget to go to the
polls and vote. We have no fear so
far as the fidelity of any party man
is concerned The only possible mis-
trust that can arise in our minds is
the one of proper interest. While it
is true that there is but one Office to
be filled, yet the entire principles of
the Democratic party are as much
conferred on this one candidate as if
there were large number in the
field. 1t is really better test OF any
mans Democracy to take an interest
in this falls election when he is unir1-
fluenced by any personal motive, than
it would be next year when nearly
every county office is to be filled.
Every Democrat who goes to the
polls next Tuesday and takes lively
interest in the contest demonstrates
that he is true party man from prin-
ciple and not from the the personal
influence of any particular applicant
for political prefernent.
Another fact that should not be
lost sight offs that it is important
for us to carry this county by as large
a majority as possible for the reason
that it will more or less exert some
influence on next year results. Last
year the ticket was elected by mag
niflcient majority, in fact, it carried us
back to the good old times before the
colored man had acquired his covet.
edfranchise. 1t Unnecessary that the
majority this year should be in keep
ing with the precedent that was then
established, it would not hurt if we
even showed ourselves to be a little
stronger. The election 1901 taught
the Republicans a lesson that they
will long remember and much Of the
apathy shown this year is doubtless
due to their last severe defeat. So let
us give Talbot a majority this year
that will be in keeping with our re-
cent victories and also will serve as
an additional victory to be remen-
bered when the election day in 1908
rolls around.
In conclusion we again urge upon
our fellow Democrats to take an in
terest in every way that will aid i'll
making Mr.. Talbott's majority i'll
Hartford county one that we can
well afford to feel proud of. Turn out
election day and do your duty and
Mr.. Talbot will be the next Con-
gressional representative by the
handsome majority that he deserves.
GASS SNEETING IN BALTIMORE.
The Democrats of Baltimore City
held a grand roundup meeting in
Music Hall on Monday evening. The
night was intensely disagreeable and
it was feared that there would not
be an attendance sufficient in num-
Der to fill the building. Anew minutes
after the doors opened however, it
was apparent that the managers
would have trouble to accommodate
those who could not get i'll as the
heavy rain prevented the holding of
an overflow meeting. The audience
included a large number ofladies who
were willing to brave the vicissitudes
of the weather to hear Maryland's
two great orators, Hon. William
Pinkney White and Attorney General
Isidor Rayncr. Mr.. John f. Hurst
presided over the meeting and from
start to finish the audience was full
of enthusiasm and encored every tell
ing point that was made against the
Republicans.
Mr.. Rayner was the first speaker.
He called attention to the Importance
