Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1875-08-20
For the Sentinel.
Why Foment Discord2


Mr. Editor For the last three or four
months, your contemporary, the Montgomery
Adgocale, newspaper protesting TO be purely
Democratic has continued TO berate and mis-
represent all that portion Of our party who
did not choose to attach themselves TO the po-
ltical fortunes of the eminent and justly high
ly esteemed citizen Of Washington county, the
Hon. VIM. 7. Hamilton, and, under the
plea of urging the claims OF Western Maryland
keeps up never ending class OF editorials 10
the great dsapproyal, we know, Of every in
Ieigent and iair-rnnded reader it has.
In the first place, let us say while passing,
that Howard county has not yet ceased to be
4 part of Western Maryland and that the in
terest of Washington county, as well as that
of the counties Of Garrett, Allegany, Fred
crick and Montgomery will be as safe and
prosperous under the government OF our Illus
lrious and worthy standard-bearer for Cover
nor, us it would or could have been under our
fellow Democrat, the Hon VIM. T. Hamilton.
1t is likely, we will admit, that the -4dU0-
cute had counted its public patronage more
certain in the hands OF the gent eman it has
been so necessarily adOocqting, to the great
breeding OF dissatisfaction and bad feelings in
our ranks, but even this we doubt for we are
of that number who believe that if the chances
of politics had been in favor of Mr.. Hamilton,

and true Democrats on account Of their honest
predictions. And we take this opportunity
Of asserting that any Governor who should be
elected by the support of the whole party and
would afterwards, in the disposal of the pat
ronage Of the party, conine and distribute IL
J;scarJ an 'u.or,b,, Harno.rots yLo f,vored
his Ieee for,,roto on,onnnts wopId bo a stir
ma and disgrace to our party and should be
sunk as speedily MS possible into lncrited OBJ
ivion. Hamilton would not have done it
Carroll 1ujH not do il. Considering the
fact that both these gentlemen are held in such
high esteem by the whole party. we are at II
loss 10 conceive why it is that any paper
which has the good of our party at heart, and
not its own selfish ends, should not yield IA
graceful acuniescence TO the choice of the par
ty rs declared in the general convention at
baltimore.
II is truly refreshing to hear the AdOocate
condoling with Governor Groome, 1--WE will
not compare its editor TO one of Jobs com
forters ! for il is well known to chose who have
read this journal, that one of its finest points
of objection lin its own opinlon) to the ad-
vocacy of the claims of Mr. CarroIl was that
il MIGHT eventuate in The success of Gov.
Groome. whom that paner then smoke of in
any way but n respectful manner. If the Id
yocate intends TO support the marty il should
say so without any qualification. TIE time
now ia when half wav lalk will not do.
To those persons Who honestly believed Mr..
Hamilton the fttest man for Governor, we
would say. Won fourht n galIan, foht but. as
il was n contest among friends. let it now
dron Fall into ranks and LET ms march in
solid columns against the common enemy, who
nor even dares to hone for victory
