the fond hope Of better luck next time. I
fear thsss : no better lock in sore for the
county. I GO in the distance dark cloud
which. Ifear. will soon gafhe. around her
and cbseufc the brightness Of her future.
I fear the days Of the Democracy. in this
State. are numbered. In the FIRST place.

Now. what is the result of this antag ouism!
Why. he. is not content with giving her .

thcas latter day proselytes to some posi-
ton in Charles county warehouse. who.
by the way. has grown too fat on the pat

for practical purposes. Well. it seems he
has inaugurated spick-span new policy.
Every one Ihave heard utter sentiment
seems aghast at this innovation in political
customs. The order Of things seems to be
reversed-t Temporu mstantxr. ct nos

charging him with trying to make new

I see. eMr. Beaeoner, you charge him
with having promised t" give st. Mary's
an Inspector. He didn't 10 it. did he

around the Warehouses here and I can't

white man is very unsartin" I think
it is verified in this Why,e man in the full
lest acceptation Of the phrase. This Whwe
man must be somethins Of a joker sup

I'm not much on the guess. but If you
press me right hard I would take enc ten

ever. that ean guess where this joker

guess, don't you! Well. as you. havn't
got ten eeats. I shall have to let yon have

in the United States Senate yet
If he aiu't in the United States Senate,

two years hence. and I'm a sohite man.

like great many others. that the demo-

l don't know what you dcmy's think Of
him now-but the on dit here is. that he
is the keeuest and shrewdcst politician Of
the aee-that the democratic party in
this selection struck upon trimmer Of
the first water" can't say myself that
he is what politicians term a trimmer"
but I do say one thing, that he has most
effectually trimmed St. Mary's county
You are not the only people who were
loud in their plaudits Of this great. noble
hearted and-transeesdent man. that are
..left out In the cold" BY circumstance.
I was thrown among a little crowd. who

note for Mr.. Whytc, and really it Was
dangerous to speak of him except in the
most laudable terms. He was 90 often
spoken of. and in such an exalted manner.
that / had worked myself up to the firm
conviction that the brightest star had arts.
en- that ever illumined American SOIL
From what can learn from the county,
you people are fattering yourselves that
your claims Cor Tobacco Inspector will be
heard tso years hence. Yes. I'm quite
sure they will be heard. but that will be
all, 6 I hope yoa people will not be logger
duped BY this dccepsious blarney.
Why. my democratic friends. il would
