RESOLUTIONS.
we deny The truth OF the statement contained
in The resolutions adopted 10y the late hvmoera, c
Convention held ia Westminster on Mo"dAN tue
as, iny OF July 1890, "that the Democrats o. ta5'
roll most heartily and cordially endorse ahd sup
port the proposed amendment 10 the constitution
i-.tr,t. 10 eliminate the ignorant and vicious ne
on, vote from the electorate, but on the othtI
hand charge that large number Of the Democratic
votes OF Carroll county are unAlIef%bly Opposed 20
the adoption OF the proposei amendment because
they not willing 10 submit their rights y ~
,rriipu To De lodged in two to he appointed by
The Democrat Ring Of this county: and because
they realize that the NEGRO BjGABOo mas
been oyerW oTked in this Stale by the Democratic
Ring and that this Is another attempt 10 eatfehth
the Ring aud counteTact the effect OF Inc Lhdel5.
dent vote OF the State.
Years ago was won on the issue OF Negro pOmiua-
ton but Rliege and stand ready 10 prove that the
defeat of the Republican Party WAS brought about
by and through n faCtional fight within said party
and DIV the use OF Il large corruption tund which
was raised and used by the Democratic Party IN
said election.
That the allegation that His Exceilency. Cover
nor Edwin WaIield. was elected on the promise OF
the passage of legislation such as the proposed
amendment. is absolutely denied by the Governor.
because he has refused and still refuses to indorSe
the proposed amendment.
"Ihat Inc Republicans of Carroll county are in IA
yor of an amendment the constitution OF the State
which will eliminate the vicious and veual voters
of the state who only vote for the largest br6e Of
fered them, but demand that the provisions OF any
all amendments to the constitution OF the state
in relation TO the Elective Franchise be SO clear
definite and liked that no citizen of tins state viii
have submit his right TO vote to the discretion OF
two more persons
The people of Maryland never have and never
will submit having any of their rights lodged in
nediscretion ofany body of men but demand that
the same be clear. definite and fixed in the conslllu-
ton OF their state. The people OF Maryland refused
TO become party TO the confederation OF the Stat
of the Union until certain oojeeuonaoe features
of the constitution which seemed TO lodge discre-
ton in the central government, had been eliml-
mated
I'VE deny that the Republican Party of Maryland
is composed of white men more interested IN mold
ing public office than in the general welfare, as
charged in the resolutions adopted by the late Dem
ocralic convention The white men of the Repub-
lcan Party in Maryland will compare very tavora-
bly with the white men of the Democratic party;
and as proof that the white men of the Republican
Party in Mary land have always been interested IN
the welfare of the people Of the state we point TO
the fact that the following institutions, which are
