HIGHLY IMPORTANT 7!
Great Encouragement That The
Amendment Will Garry

The following letter was received at noon
on Friday, from A. s. Goldsborough, sec
rotary of the Constitutional Amendment
Campaign Committee
EDITORS ADVOCATE This letter is
sent for the purpose of providing truthful
words of encouragement for our friends In
the country. Baltimore City is alive for
the amendment. There is a complete rev.
olution in sentiment in our favor. The
gloomy outlook has passed. Our enemies
are desperately alarmed about Baltimore
City. They are beginning to fear that the
City is going to give substantial majority
for the amendment.
This committee is encouraged to the
point of citation. The trend of sentiment
is strongly in our direction. The recent
frost of the Anti-Amendment meeting at
the Lyric has demonstrated that the oppo
sition is limited, not general. We have
knowledge of thousands of Republicans
who are going to vote for the Amendment
The white mans triumph Is coming.
Tell the people in the county to line up for
good results. Baltimore city is now cheer
ing for the Amendment.

How 1t Is In Carroll.

Last week the ADyoCArE stated that the
presnece of 5000 registered negro voters 10
Maryland meant the practical disfranchise-
ment of 55. 600 white men, because it required
that number Of ballots Of white men to Offset
the negro vote. We also stated that this con
dition actually eliminated ITO, 900 votes.
la Carroll there are about 500 registered
negro voters. These negroes represent neither
principles nor policies, and less than one
fourth Of them pay anything 10 The support Of
the government which protects them aud pro
vides public schools for their children.
They represent litlle but igoorence and
prejudice in public affairs, and many are in
dolent and idle. Sill, they are entitled to
vote under our present Constitution, and their
presence in the body Of voters means the
practical disfranehisemem Of 500 Democrats,
because it requires the ballots Of 500 Demo-
Gratis to offset the ballots Of 500 negroes.
The negroes representing nothing bn! ignor
ance and prejudice, and the votes Of 500
Democrats being necessary to offset them at
the ballot box, there are actually 1000 voters
in Carroll whose ballots count for nothing.
If the proposed amendment is adopted, the
most of these 500 negroes will be unable to
register and vote. For every negro cut off
from voting one Democrat will be eufran-
chised. If 400 of the 500 negroes are cut off;
400 Democrats viii be enfranehised and their
ballots will count.
If you favor DISTINGUISHING negroes and en-
franchising white men vote for the first
amendment on the ballot-Chapter So.

Amendment.

All white men believing in an intelligent

All white men who do not desire an influx OF
ignorant and vicious negroes from States whore
they have been denied the privilege of voting

All white men who desire peace and good

All white men who would guard the fair

Bottom Falling Out.

There never was as much Democratic OPP
position to the franchise amendment in Baln-
more as the press of that city endeavored to
have the people believe, and much of that
has disappeared. Some half dozen noisy
lawyers, counting notoriety principally, have
been writing and speaking against the amend
ment, but not more than two or three of them
have been party men. Cans, for instance.
has been steadily against the party and its
tickets since 1894. Marbury is another re-
calcitrant.
According to latest reports the opposition
to the amendment is fast disappearing, and
Chairman Fur ST of the Executive Committee
of the Committee of Nineteen. believes the
Amendment will have a majority in the city.

The public schools were mere apologies. The
school houses, according to the report Of the

man TO teach 10: pine boards around the sides
served as desks. and The benches were without
backs; most Of the school houses were built
by the people Of the uelghborhoods, and were
not owned by the county and not more than
one -ioarth OF them could be made habiiable:
some Of the schools were open six months,
others two, three and four months; the enroll
ed pupils numbered hule more than 5000
and the salaries Of the teachers amounted to
total Of S.. 047.s7
To-day the county owns l25 schoolhouscs,
100 Of which are brick structures, aud al well
fitted for the purposes Of education; there are
$50 school teachers, and an enrolment Of pa.
pills Of about !. 800; So, 900 are annually paid
to the teachers, and the school year IS nine
