Maryland’s Democracy, not wholly clear upon national enthusiasms, has an issue upon which it is sure of itself. In the Jame and knotty transcription above, the war song of the Democratic hosts, not yet officially in the hands of the printer, is roughly set forth. If the verse form here adopted does not trace exactly the course of the campaign, it is within easy scenting distance of the trail along which the hunt will be di- rected. With other satisfying information con- cerning the preparations for war, it is told that nothing goes but pure princi- ple, nothing of debate but reflections on constitutional truth, no personalities, no invective, no unpleasantness for candi- date or orator, In a contest over rip- ping off the negro’s hide, the gentleman or darker hue must, of course, take the fortune of war.

Pancks, it | will be recalled, rudely and suddenly, view of the assembled populace, ful cz is one of the most astute politici well as the most popular Democra Ohio, will in a large measure demon- sentiment in ns, , in strate an overwhelming favor of Taft, whose forerunner Burton is. In view of the attitude of the Presi- dent toward the colored people and the certainty that the election of Burton will mean the endorsement of Roosevelt's policies, the elevation of Taft and the probable humiliation, if not the defeat of Senator Foraker, the duty of the colored yoter is plain. Senator Foraker has been the friend of the colored people for the past forty years, and even now, while the list of friends is growing less and less by reason of the propagandism of Southern hate, stimulated and encour- aged by the Roosevelt administration, that model Republican and able exponent of Republican principles is now cham- pioning the cause of justice and Negro manhood and womanhood by @ brilliant and successful defense of these noble and devoted black soldiers, who served their country so well, but who were ruthless’ smantled by a pernicious and unjustifiable executive order. Taft, who is the President’s me-too and will- ing instrument, who had the temerity to go South and seek to discredit negro manhood, pander to Southern race prej- udice and justify disfranchisement, through Burton, asking the suffrages of the colored voters of Cleveland in order that Rooseveltism might be perpetuated and Foraker eliminated from politics. Such is the situation in Ohio. Burton’s election means Taft’s ascen- in she: brim of the patriarchal hat, transform- ing his fatherly philanthropist into a cheap hypocrite. Judge Crothers is not changed to a cheap man or a hypocrite. The press has not discovered a crime or a serious shortcoming, but acute Democrats realize that the jndge ‘5m longer venerable or impressive; that he strength of his party, himself ranking as an ordinaty courthouse politician and lawyer from fair to common in ability and ardor for reform.
