NEGRO ONLY A BUGABOO

TNHE declaration of the recent Re
publican State Convention, that
the Republicans party in Maryland
favors no social equality among the races
no negro domination over the white peo-
pie here or elsewhere, and can be
depended upon to guard against the es-
tablishment of either of these condi
tons here in Maryland;'' having been
made the subject of comment outside
the State Secretary Of the Navy Bona
parte ON Monday issued the following
situation in this State:-
''In the campaign now in progress in
Maryland the Democratic ring relies
for success, as it has relied for success
in many campaigns during the past 35
years, upon appeals to race prejudice
To i!.iame this prejudice it has fire.
quently circulated and it circulates now,
many utterly false and indeed, lidicu-
lous stories as to what the Republican
with power by the voters. While these
falsehoods are not only absurd in them
selves. but conclusively refuted by ex-
perience during the four years of Repub-
lican supremacy in the State, while the
late .noyd Lowndes was Governor from
1896 to 1900, they have undoubted
| weight with a certain class of voters, of
whom some are very ignorant, and others
so intensely prcjudiced on this question
as to be almost beyond the influence Of
reason.
Some of these prepoSterous tales are
to the effect that a Republican Legis-
lature would compel by law certain forms
of social intercourse between the two
races, as, for example, by establishing
compulsory attendance at mixed schools
OF obligng white children to be taught
| by colored teacers. Others hold out
the alarming prospect that Republican
Governor or Mayor would appoint vast
multitude Of solored officials, with no re-

gard to fitness or expediency, to all sorts
of public positions. or course, when we
had Republican Legislature and IL Re-
publican Governor nothing of the kind
Was done. and the present Republican
Mayor of Baltimore has made no such
selections for public office; nevertheless,
some people actually believe these yarns,
and others try to persuade themselves
to vote ugainst their own reason, and
conscience: and while such dupeS are
found tire manufacture OF such false
hoods continue.
Stories of the first class form part
of an cutlery against social equality;
stories of the second class give such
c0.ur as they may to an cutlery against
negro domination; the resolution of the
Republican Convention diSclNiming amy

attracted little or 10 comment; outside
the State it seems to have been widely

Il ought perhaps to add that although

their overthrow seemed an 'intolerahlc
evil" to them. and rs it might happen in
the same way again, many Of the Demo-
Gratis having become rCftivc of late. they
which in the Swglshbucklrr style will
place the rights of twOthrdS Of the citi-
zrn~ of the State at their mercy. They
fear the danger to which they are con-
tinualy exposed by the honest manhood
of the State. The people are becoming
more enlightened and less prciudiccd
with the passage of every year, and en-
lightcnment and impart:ality are terribly
destructive TO the interests of corrupt
and selfish politicians.
Heretofore the devices of the bosses
have been simple and brutal. To rob Il
ballUt-bOX or brighten away timid voters
required only the audacity of the tough,
and to cut down the majority one-half,
as was done in this city in 1893. in order
to save appearances, did not require Il
very high order of intelligence; but the
times have changed. 1t is not so easy
to engage in these elementary practices
without getting behind the bans, which
is inconvenient and discoulaginG. Genius
and skill must be devoted to this robbery
of the people, and this amendment may

rascality yet introduced to the public. 1t

WHO HAS SUFFERED?

4 PLANK in the Democratic plat
~ form says that the DISTINGUISHING
amendment will "cure the intoler-
able evil from which we have suffered
SO long 1t is important to ask i'll this
connection. "Who has suffered" During
the thirty-five years since the suffrage
was bestowed on the negro the State
has been in control of the Republican
party four years. How did this happen ?
The Democrats were so Disguised with
the corruption and fraud in their own
party under the leaders who are now
asking for disfunchisement that they
denounced these leaders on the floor of
Il Democratic convention and went over
bodily to the Republican party. The
latter nominated Lloyd Lowndes, and an
honest board of supervisors having been
appointed, he was elected, and gave the
State the cleanest administration it has
had in many u day.
This 'intolerable evil cannot, there
fore, refer to the administration of pub
lie affairs which under Republican aus
pices was all that the public could de-
sire; it must, therefore, refer to these
Democratic leaders who wrote the plat
form. 1t can be readily understood that
