We are of the opinion, and we believe large
majority OF the people of the county think with
US, that the Judiciary should be kept aIoof FROM
the corrupt influences and intrigues Of political
conventions. We believe it damaging to that
dignity the ermne should possess to be mixed up
with disreputable proceedings that too often
mark the conduct of political contests
The nomination of James D. Waters for the
Associate Judgeship of the Third Judicial Cir.

Then it was that, in consequence OF exciting
the prejudice Of the people, and withdrawing
their attention from their real, vital interests
the party, now goading them to desperation
with exhorbitant expenses, and high taxes
came to the control of our county, and state
affairs Since then the people have been made
to pay for the luxury of supporting what is
termed Democratic, (more Familiarity known tc
the taxpayers as an extravaganD administra-
ton of our finances as follows:

This exhibits a striking contrast with the
former expenses, and makes strong case
against the present mismanagers of the county's
funds. This should arouse the inquiring pro
pensities of the honest, hard-fsted, upright
economical citizens of our county. All classes
of our people should awake to the important
facts that stare them in the face.
One naturally inquiries "why is this ?" What
makes this increase of our expenses (? What
makes our tax-bills so much higher than they
were four or five years ago? Is there no remedy
for it? Are we obliged to allow affairs to con-
tnue on in this way, or shall we make heroic
endeavor to redeem our credit by rescuing our
county from the gross misrule of ''Ring' Of
untaithful public servants

Whe7.e the M0aleM Goes.

At no time prior to the ascendency of the
present party to power in Baltimore county,
did our county expenses exceed 1929, 1926
per annum. Only twice before the control of
our county affairs passed into the hands of its
present managers, did our expenses exceed
$125,OOO per annum.
But since the county has became the subject
of the misrule of the party now in power, our
expenses have exceeded all former precedent
by at least $40, 900.
These are grave facts for the consideration
of the people who foot the tax-bills. Up to
1857, those who now ride our tax payers with
whip and spur, had no control of our financial
affairs. Up to that time our expenses, as the
records show, were light, in comparison with
what they are now, and our 'taxes much less
than at present.
Our expenses from 1861 to 1867 were as

NNDTo the People of Baltimore County


Among the proceedings of the "Mass Meet
ing" held at TowsontowD, Oct. 10th, is the fol-
lowing in reference to myself:
''That we consider John Perdue the proper
person for the oItce OF Sheriff in the -pfeNAft
contest of the people against wrong and corrup-
ton we commend his action in refusing to
accede to the demands of the ring, and recon-
mend him to the support of every man who
has the good OF his country at heart, believing
that he will at all times and under all circum-
stances be found working for the good of the
people and in opposition to intrigue and corrup-
ton"
l confess to feeling flattered by this COM
plimentary mention of my name, and the more
so because J sought no nomination at the hands
Of that meeting. Notwithstanding my treat
ment in the Democratic County Convention,
had determined to let the matter rest Since
that time I have been warmly urged to
allow the use Of my name as an independent
candidate for Sheriff of Baltimore county by
personal and political friends.
When | consider the manner in which was
defeated in that convention, and the causes
which led to my defeat, I do not feel that can,
as a good citizen, forbid to the people the use
of my name in the above connection. The cor
ruption and extravaganza in the administra-
ton of county affairs is almost appalling. The
only remedy for it is for the PEOPLE, irrespec-
tive of party, to unite in opposition to the cor
rupt and irresponsible politicians who have
somehow or other gotten the control of our
nominating conventions. Through them unfit,
and distasteful men are forced upon the party,
and the honest men of the party are obliged to
vote for them or stay at home. am convinced
that in our late conventions few members of
those bodies nominated the tickets This thing
has gone far enough and we must put a stop
to it or break up the party. l am too good a
democrat to wish for any such result. and be-
the party who has the good of the party and
the people at heart to unite at this time to
break the power of the rings and cliques which
prey upon the people for living, I give my
hearty consent to the use of my name, and
pledge my best endeavors for the success of the
Peoples Independent Ticket.
Very respectfully, JOHN PERDUE.

The day has arrived when every man who
wishes well to his county should act upon his
own judgment and vote for the man of his
choice. It is disgraceful to be the mere tool, if
not dupe, Of wire pullers and cunning political
tricksters. For nearly thirty years past, du-
ring which time have been voter in the
Ninth District, III which l reside, have OBJ
served that various offices in which the t0hole
people are interested and which ought not to be
controlled by special parties, have been appro-
priated by certain cliques, and voters obliged
to vote for whomsoever these cliques might
name In this way men have not stood upon
their own merits, but upon the contrivance of
cliques. l think the system ought to be dis
countenanced, and to afford the people an OPP
portunity of showing that cliques are played
out respectfully present myself to the voters
