Feeling Some interest to hear Senator
Foote address the democracy a, Eik;on
on Tuesday Of las. week, went into the
Court House to see and rear the ,ons.
There | discovered that the parade of
great men's names was on y used as a
hoax to bring the people out TO hear Mr..
Lowe. 1t was the day of their county
invention and | noticed some of tn.
leading parlzans from all parts OF the
county. They had nominated ticket
Tor the Convention, a majority of the
candidates being lawyers this was no
doubt done to carry out the leading prin-
ciPles of reform, 10 reduce The fees Of ofieers
as lawyers are proverbia for their repug
nance Of high fees.
Well, the meeting was organized and
committee despatched to invite Mr..
Lowe to address the Democracy.-Had
il not been for the committees from the
different districts the gathering of the
bone and sinew, would have been small
affair." Presently all eyes are turned 10
the door and here comes the Hon Enoch
louls-qult- good LOOKING man. He
assembled the ros'rum 18th an unbound
volume IN his haSd-Ah said one, he's
bringing the d" umens.
The Chairman then informed the au-
dIence that this was the Hon. Enoch
Louis Lowe our worry cand date for the
gubernatoriaI chair Of Maryland"
Mr.. Lowe commenced by making rath
er an awkward alluslon to the "Uidow's
Mite" which so disappointed the expec-
tation | had formed OF his oratory that
could not get over it during the remain
der of his discourse As Mr.. Clarke had
declined meeting hun before the public,
no feelings OF courtesy. or maiden deli
cacy hould restrain him from using up
the SAID Mr.. Clarke. He then pnral!pd
the documents to show that MIR. Clarke
was opposed to reform, and had Two
votes OF that gentleman against something
that he called reform, which were gwen
some six years ago and he looked over
the Journal for another vote but could
not find it, but he SAID he knew i! was
there somewhere
II hen he closed the great document
that was to have annihlated Mr.. Clarke,
and :he looks OF the audience seemed to
lay, is ha, al. Now, gentlemen can .
Mir. Clarke be reformer when he voted
again reform six years ago! When
Paul was converted his name was cham
ged, when was Mr.. Clarke converted?
Now You see, Mr. Clarke is no reform-r
we'll compare hls course on reform
with mine. Ny history, it is true, Is
rather obscure, my course is not general
~ known over the State therefore I will
have to tell You about it myself.-N nv
gentleman l have for many long years
been the jealous untiring advocate of re-
'orm,-l ha We tatl-d for ii by day, and
by night, on thu hills and on the NOUN
ta'ns, SO you see have done much for
reform, and now judge ye between Mr..
Clarke and myself, which, will be most
likely to bring about that reform so dear
to the heart OF every democrat. H. ap-
pIauded old Frank Thomas as h. called
HIM, and the 6 lorious nineteen cleo
tors, who tried to triumph over the Ma
iority, but he SAID nothing Of The solher
nineteen which at the succeeding cleo
ton was all the democrats returned to
the General Assembly.
II VT. Clarke ir elected you will have
no reform II the present effort to Sc
cure conventional reform be lost, it will
b. los, forever. II am elected govern
or ! with TO be stripped naked OF all pow
er. A Governor can control the Legis-
lature on important mcasures-streams
OF champagne have flowed from the Cap
ltol that would have hoated canoe
Gentlemen, If should not have anoth-
er opportunity OF addressing you, shall
be glad TO meet you at the White House
by the Bay side
