HIS VIEW OF THE SITUATION.
Able and Comprehensive Review.
Radical Ranaciiy at the South.
DUTY or THE DEMOCRACY.
QFFIcE OF THE BALTIMORE GAzETTE,
BALTIMORE, July 20.-My Dear Sir :
Ever since the adjournment of the
Baltimore Convention certain Radical
journals have persistcntly misrepre.
sented the course of the prominent
Democrats, and have sought, in every
way, 10 place them in a false position
before the country. Among the nun.
Der you have been frequently mention
ed as being hostile 10 the action OF that
body, and in this way your name has
been used by political tricksters to
promote tho success of the Radical
cause. Without waiting for consulta'
ton with you, but simply relying on
my faith in your exalted patriotism
aud unflinching Democracy, | have
unhesitatingly contradicated all such
rumors. In times past you shave done
the State some service, and they know
it," aud on the strength Of your past
record | have assumed that in the
present political crisis you will be quite
as jealous as you ever were before In
defense of constitutional freedom and
civil service reform. | need not ask
you If / am right in this assumption
because of that feel assured; but
take the liberty of suggesting that a,
this time your views and opinion'
upon the impending Presidential con
test would afford much qualification tC
the Democratic and Conservative mas
ses of the country.
Believe me to be, with great respect
ever your friend, WILLIAM IL. WELSH
Hon. J S. BLACK.
