SYSTEMATIC Observation-Disclosures

The Democratic press of the country has
almost exhausted imagination and Ian
guage in abusing and viIlifying the
American party of Baltimore, and now,
in holding up to the world the stupid
and outrageous conduct of the Judge Of
the Criminal Court in that CITY they rep
resent him, as they do all the %rufians
and rowdies, to belong to the American
party. OF this the Clipper says:
THIS is laying it on a little too thick.
Whatever isns the "Kip-Raps'' ard
plug Cg|ies," ETC., may have to answer
for, tue election Of Judge Stump is not
one Of Them He was elected as a DEM
ocrotic candidate by the Democratic par
ty, and is a fair sample of the class Of
men put in office by the Democracy
when they had the power. Tie chief
cause Of the %impuui,y emitted to crime
and lawIessness in this city is notorious
Iy the |ooseness of the administration Of
the laws by the Democratic Judge of thu
Criminal Court, and the glaring defects
Of the Democratic State Constitu,ion.-
Until these are reformed all other re-
forms will be futile. Let the refortners
lay the axe to the root of the evil. Let
them 60 at once to the source Of the out
RACES Of which they complain. Let them
reform the wrongs done to the commu.
nifty by the Democratic party, instead of
trying to build it up again and give it
the power to repeat its Infamous outra-
ups.
