TIE TRUH RIxe.-The true sing
not the Ring Of the ''Outs'' or ~the
ms" but the ring Of the genuine meal
-is furnished in recent publication -
Messrs. Snowden, Of anne Arundel,
Henry, of Dorchester, and many other
democrats throughout the State vhod
have been interviewed BY the Indepen-
dents with a view Of obtaining their
consent to become candidates in opposi-
tion to the regularparty nominees. Says.
Mr.. Henry:
"-The suggestion Of my name in con-
nection with the Office for Governor has
been entirely without authority from
me, and have not heretofore suppos-
ed it necessary to obtrude myself upon
the public to say SO. But as / have
reason to apprehend that my views may
be misunderstood, it seems due to my
self and to others, that i should add
that I have never had any idea of sup
porting any one for that position, 9TH
err than the nominee Of the Democratic
Convention"
Says Mr.. Snowden ST am perf2ct
" satisfied with t. Dem6cra{ic Con-
sentative Ticket as it is. Were I dis
satisfied, however, / should consider
myself in honor bound to abide the ac-
ton of the Convention, having parhci-
pated in the Primary election held in
my district"
As pendant to the above, we select
from the Centreciile Observer an article
on ''disorganizers and their radical al
lies" which impresses us both b. its
merits and its morals:
"Whilst there are some among US,
happily very few and far between, who,
while claiming to support the State
ticket, are nevertheless. pursuinga pol
icy calculated to bring the ticket into
disrepute and cause dissension to spring
up in the ranks. it is gratifying to know
that the thinking men of the party are
firm in their support of ticket pro-
nounced even by its enemies as COM
posed of pure and upright men. The
people have felt the sting Of Repubi-
can misrule too keenly; they have seen
their own rights invaded; they have
seen their sister States Of the South
outraged too frequently not to be alive
to the importance of firm and un-
qualified support to the ticket, whether
they approve everything done or not,
and they will not permit men or
newspapers, who are sore, and who
claim to support the ticket and yet
find all manner of faults with it
to draw them from their allegiance
to the party which alone has saved US
from monarchial government and lib
eralism. Some they are who fly the
banner, and vet tell others that it is
not pure and good, thus saying to the
world that they are stultifying them
selves, but fortunately such men and
such papers can exert at best but a cir
cumscribed influence. People admire
honesty as much as they hate hypocri-
sy, and when q man SAYS he cannot sup
port ticket from conscientious scru-
pies he is houored for his honesty, but
when a man says he will support tick
ct because of some mandate which has
never before been regarded BY him as
binding, and then says to such as will
listen to him that the ticket is the Off
spring of corrupt ring which he can
not approve, people lose respect for
such a man. If the tree is known by its
fruits, then the ring must be known by
its candidate. IL he be pure then
corrupt ring has nothing to do with his
advancement, because it is patent fact
that corrupt rings have no fancy for or
utilization with pare men, and do not
nominate such.
"The man who disputes this has a
mode of reasoning peculiarly his own.
If Mr.. Carroll was nominated by o cor.
rupt ring, then he is q corrupt man and
not worthy the support Of pure men;
but if lie is a pure man then he
was not nominated by corrupt men.
No man is called upon to support
corruption, and no man or newspa-
per will say that John Lee Carroll
is corrupt. Even those who would like
to see him beaten unite in saying that
be is pure and cannot be corrupted bv
bad men. If it be true that he is pure
as has been asserted, not only by his
friends and supporters but by his nem-
inal supporters and actual enemies, then
he is worthy the support Of all good
men, and We urge upon all good men
in the State to give him their cordial
support. Listen not to those who throw
up their hats and hurrah for John Lee
Carroll, and fly him at their mast-heads
and covertly seek to defeat him. He is
pure and and worthy our support, and
the time is now upon US when We can
not afford to hesitate. The man who
halts now is unwise, and the newspa-
per which flies a flag at its masthead
and then undertakes to shoot it full of
holes is not TO be relied upon. The
people want honesty, not only in OIL
cial life, but in private life. If pa
per saws this thing is corrupt, the peo-
pie want it to refuse to support it, and
they want it to openly to refuse to sup
port it and to denounce il and the
means which were employed TO produce
it. The people are tired of hypocrisy.
They are tired of hearing that we sup
port thing and at the same time we
know i, is corrupt and advise you by
giving you to believe it is corrupt to
turn your back upon it. Thcsewhoare
CRYING ont for honesty should set the
example, and the people should see that
they DO it,
