MR.. R1rTENHoUsE IN 1895.
Highlandtolcl Sentinel.


Appropos of the candidacy for sheriff on the
Democratic ticket of ex-Weigher at the Cattle
Scales, ex-Road Supervisor, ex-Road Commits
sioner, ex-County Commissioner James Ritten-
house, il will be interesting to the voters to
call to mind some incidents which appear to
have been half forgotten by many, and there
are others who may never have heard.
1t was at this period that the lawlessness in
the 18th district reached its climax, resulting
in riotous scenes at the registration offices,
making it worth mans life to attempt to
register unless his utilization with the party in
power was well known. This was the year
when there was no restraint against lawless-
ness; when the police openly rebelled against
the authority oftheir chief; when the citizens
were compelled to form law and order league
in order to have fair play at the polls on cleo
ton day. Those were stormy times and it
looked dark indeed for justice and right when
Marshal Hoffstetter, the one champion of the
people amongst the Democratic office holders,
was forced to resign his position.
Following is an extract from Mr.. Hohstet-
ter's resignation, (which tells IN his own words
why he refused to serve further as chief OF
police:
the fragrant violations of law in the lower sec
ton of the 18th district of Baltimore county
knows that | have fully performed my own
duty in attempting to suppress such disorder.
"In endeavoring to do my duty in that re-
spect | have not had the encouragement and
support of those authorities upon whom, in my
opinion, it is incumbent to assist the chief of
police in the maintenance of law and order"
According to published reports of the affair,
Immediately following the resignation and
while the parties were still in the office of the
County Commissioners, the following colloquy
took place between the County Commission
ers and Mr.. Hoffstetter
Commissioner Magruder-"I would like Mr..
Hoffstetter to state whether he has not had my
support"
Marshal Hofstetter-"You have always
supported me in the discharge of my duty"
Commissioner Rittenhouse then asked
"How about meP
Marshal Hoffstetter-"You told me not to
be too severe to let it drop down."
The question naturally arises, will Mr.. Rit
tenhouse again use his official position, should
he be elected to let the matter of Sunday vic
lations drop down." or will the people judg
ing him by his record, let Mr.. Rittenhous'
drop down" on election day.

THE DEATH RECORD.

Hall.-Mr. William Hall, ST., whose health
had failed rapidly lately, died at his home, near
Sunnybrook, on Wednesday, in the 993d year
of his age. Mr.. Hall came of an old Balti-
more county family and was born near Go
vanstown. Nearly fifty years ago he removed
to the 10th district, having bought part of the
old Sterett estate, and had been engaged in
farming there ever since, or until advancing
years obliged him to give up active work: Mr..
Hall was member of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church South and in his younger days was
an earnest Sunday school worker. He is sur
vived by five sons, two daughters, a number
of grandchildren and several great-g randchil-

LOOK AT THE FIGURES.
The Negro Vote in Baltimore City and
Several Counties-Some Facts That
Will Surprise Most People

Will Surprise Most People
There are nearly fifty precincts in Balti-
more in which no colored voters are regis
tered and the Republican ticket was elected
last year in large majority of these pre-
cincts. If reference is made to the several
wards in Baltimore where the colored vote
is least numerous it will be found that
majority of the votes were cast for the Re
publican party. In the Thirteenth ward
but 81 colored persons are registered, but
the majority for the Republicans was 400
year ago. The First ward has but 81 col
- ored voters. and the Republican majority
was over 300. The Twenty-fourth ward
has but five colored voters, and the major
ity of the votes were Republican. The
same is true of other wards.
The same condition exists in the coun-
ties. Garrett county has but 80 colored
registered voters, yet the Republican ma
iority is 800. Calvert county has over
1,4OO white registered voters and the DEM
ocratic ticket did not poll 500 votes in this
county at the election last year. Washing
ton county has over 10000 white registered
voters, and the Democratic ticket did not
secure 1000 votes at the same election.
Charles county has about 300 white reg
istered voters, and only about 700 voted
the Democratic ticket. The statement
that the Republican party had the solid
support of 5000 colored registered voters
is not substantiated by the facts.
CITIZENS, REMEMBER THAT it was 8
Democratic Legislature that passed ouI
present infamous election lava law that
has deprived hundreds of unfortunate citi-
zens-white and black-Of their right to
vote. The only way to get rid of this out
rage upon the people is to vote the Repub
Iican Ticket on the Sd of November.

Pointers How to vote-Every Voter


Should Study These Carefully. The Ba
timore county Election Supervisors have i
sued circular to the judges of election gi
ing the following directions how to vote:
Tickets must be voted by cross (X)

The Needs of Our State.

In his speech at Frostburg, Nd, on the Sd
instant, Hon. s. A. Williams thus summarized
the needs of Maryland:
''First-Such changes in the Election Law
as will correct its technicalites and give to the
election judges discretion to pass upon the in
tention of the voter as disclosed by his ballot.
"Second-Such legislation as will minimize
the influence of the lobby at Annapolis and
the part taken by party managers therein.
"Third-The power of the Liquor License
Board and the Police Board of Baltimore city,
in politics should be curtailed.
"Fourth-Primary election and corrupt prac-
tices acts applicable to the entire State.
"Fifth-Improvemen and Strengthening of
our public school system.
"Sixth-A thorough system OF public road
improvement.
'Seventh-Fostering ofthe oyster industry"
The people of this State can rest assured if
Mr.. Williams is elected Governor he will use
his best endeavors to bring about these things,
besides other reform legislation that the good
of the people may suggest. Remember, when
the Republicans won in 1895 they faithfully
carried out every platform pledge and gave the
State the cleanest and best administration it
had experienced in thirty years. This is not
buncombe. The facts fully bear out the state
ment.
