actually filling occupations other than
that of menials or helpers to mechan-
les and other trades people, showing
conclusively that giving the negro so
cial equality either in part or in whole
in no way betters his general condi-
ton, and that in spite of all that has
been done for him he still desires to
be the "hewer of wood and the drawer
Of water" or rather that he prefers
to be shiftless and live from hand
to mouth, which practically means
that he lives off OF the white people.
1t should never be lost sight of, as
was said by Mr.. German, that the
primary recently held in this city was
not a Democratic primary, but pri
mary at which both Democratic and
Republican candidates were nomi-
mated, and in the honest result in
which both Democrats and Republi
cans and in fact all citizens are deep
ly interested Candidates of both par
ties as well as citizens are demand
ing that the stigma resting upon their
nominations shall be removed
Hon. George KONG, the member of
Congress from Baltimore city, who is
fighter from way back and a laboring
man himself and a most successful
politician, says that while he cannot
explain some of these seeming irregu-
larities in the Baltimore primary cleo
ton, that by taking his hand you can
not detect any nervousness, and that
in his judgment Mr.. German will be
elected by a larger majority than If
the exposures had not been made"
or course everyone knows who has
seen him that Mr.. German is one OF
the handsomest and most manly look
ing men in the State with strongly de
fined, intelligent features, and If he
had have chosen the stage as a pro-
fession he would undoubtedly have
been the champion matinee Idol of
the girls, and the shrewd business
candymakers of this city have caught
on to the idea OF reproducing his fig
ure in CONNECTIONS, and it is needless
to add that the ladies of the State are
going wild over these and are claim
ing that he is the Sweetest thing
that was ever put in bon-bon shape
While of course the Democrats and
Republicans, to say nothing of our
Socialistic friends. will all be "agin''
each other in politics until election
day, with great unanimity they agree
with the BentZtown Bard in the Sun of
September 29th when he says:
like the simple country maids,
Their rosy cheeks and eyes,
And deeper still perhaps their skill
For baking pumpkin pies.
The first guns of the Democratic
campaign were fired effectively at
Rockville in Montgomery county last
week This is the Hon. Blair Lees
home county and he presided at the
meeting More than 700 enthusiastic
Democrats, the flower of the county,
attended this meeting. Speeches were
made in addition to Mr.. Lees by Can
didates German, Harrington and Poe,
and everything they said was received
with many hurrahs by the audience.
One delightful feature of this meeting
was to see on the rostrum advocating
Mr.. Germans election the Little
Miner King" of Western Maryland, the
Hon. David J. Lewis, the member OF
Congress from the Sixth district,
which district has for many years
been in the Republican column, but
carried over to the Democratic side
in the last Congressional election by
the strenuous and intelligent work OF
Mr.. Lewis.
After considering the matter fol-
more than three days Governor Croth
ers late Friday afternoon decided not
TO call special session of the Legis
lature to recount the Baltimore city
ballots of the recent primary election
as he had been requested to do, pro
vided the Grand Jury having this mat
ter in hand would assure him of due
diligence in finishing the count 1t is
understood this assurance was given
with time limit of eight days. If the
count is not finished within that time
it is likely the Governor will take
prompt action for calling the members
| of the Legislature together.
The Governors action, after con
sultation with the Democratic lead
ers present, was entirely satisfactory
TO them.
