Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1875-07-02

nomination OF Inc lion. JOhn Lee carroll, Il
lifelong Democrat, pure and noble-hearied
Maryandcr Of the olden type, through whose
veins courses, warm and fresh, the true Mary
land blood of his illustrious grand sire, whose
signature 10 the Declaration of independence
reflected everlasting honor upon the State he
represented and achieved for the American
people the privileges of free government, we
are basely accused Of playing bold game of
deceit and hypocrisy or believed to be arrant
fools, when our voice proclaims Carroll 10
charges so shamelessly rung out against us by
inscriptions and designing politicians and
ffth-rate editors Of county journals, we have
no voice left but TO fight most earnestly and
zealously for the man we prefer TO be Gov
ernor, not by vituperation and Islander, as do
some of the ''Hamiltonians," without re-
gard TO truth, and in arrogant defiance of all
fairness and liberal.y towards those who
choose to think that Mr.. Hamilton is not en-
titled to continued round or "ring'' of
high Offices to the exclusion of other worthy
Democrats, but 10 manly and honorably pro-
claim the merits and claims of Mr.. Carroll,
without, in any manner, detracting from the
worth of Mr.. Hamilton. Remember, Demo-
Gratis, we will be called upon TO vote for the
nominee, whether he be Carroll, Hamilton, or
some other man, and, with this in view, it
well becomes us TO preserve our equanimity
Of temper and not subject ourselves to the
snecrs Of the Republicans, who are now laugh
ing in their sleeves.
Friends of Carroll, let not our voice be raised
in suicidal bellowings against our State Off
Gals to the great shame of our party and re-
joicng Of our subtle and sable adversary
Radicals, who are now quietly awaiting the
result of the Discussions in the Democratic
ranks. Let us not get adopt such an organ
as the Baltimore american for the guidance of
the Democratic party, as have done some of
the journals which speak for Hamilton as
with authority.
II there be such wide spread corruption and
such wholesale lilfering and stealing as some
with view to the promotion (as they think
of Mr.. Hamiton's chances so audaciously and
falsely charge, are not the State Courts open
Or will we be told that even the Bench of
Maryland, of which we feel so Justly proud,
is also rotten, and dead to the protection of
society Is it not fair to say to the supporters
Of Mr.. neutrality-suspicious., you have accus-
ed us of everything that is vile, and have
scarcely stopped short of classifying the men
who are for Carroll, first, last and altcdys,)
with Radicals.
Reflective can do quite as well without
you as you can without us. Mr., Hamilton
has just stepped down and OUT Of II six years
term in the U. S. Senate, with a salary of
from 81, 500 to So, O0e per annum, and now
his friends claim that he, MS Of right is en-
titled to be Governor for the next four years
| Why? To go back to the U. S. Senate again,
as did his successor, Wm. Pinkney White
We think old Maryland has more than one
good and great man. Let us give them all "a
chance to serve the dear people.
Hurrah for Carroll, the next Governor of
Maryland, and all praise and honor to the
noble VIM. I. Hamilton for his past efficiency
and credit TO us in the Emitted States Senate
We honor Hamilton; we love him as one Of
titled to sit in our Gubernaiorial chair, be-
cause he is equally as worthy and has re-
ceived less honorJ from his party.
CENTENNIAL.
The following letter we take from the Balti-
moredn The gentleman, whose name is men
toned in connection with the position Of Comp
troller, is from this county, and should the
democracy of the Stale think proper to nom-
nate bm he would fill the Office with ability:
ar ssrs Editors DIR. s. r. Waters, of
Carroll county, has been fa~orably named for
Comptroller. He received in his youth
thorough business training in Montgomery,
his native county, and in Baltimore city.
He was student under the late Professor
Dunbar, aud is graduate of the University
of Maryland. He has been a successful ply
stefan in Carroll for twenty years. Devoted
TO the principles of the Democratic party, he
has always taken an active interest in its
cause.
He was member of the last House of Dele
gates, and made good record. He was
thoroughly identified with the interests Of the
workingmen of the City and State, and was
most valuable and efficient member. A gen
tleman of business training and experience,
of culture and ability, and universally es-
teemed, he is well qualified for the position OF
Comptroller.
In this connection, we would state that the
Western Shore has not had a Comptroller for
about fifteen years. The present incumbent
from the Eastern Shore, has filled the posi-
ton for six years and is again an aspirant
Under the circumstances, the Western Shore
is entitled, and Dr. Waters will receive the
hearty support of the people of that section
1t is believed, moreover, his nomination will
crafty, not ouly Western Maryland but his
numerous friends on the Eastern Shore and in
BALTIMORE.
The people ofCalifornia have formed an In
dependent political party for the reformation
of the State on local government. The peo-
pie of that State should remember that when
there is reformation effected in the national
government, and can only be done by BUSTING
the present administration from power, then
will the administration of State and local
government be indebted. But this, like all
other secret and independent organizations,
viii have a brief existence, and soon be num-
Der with things of the past
RoBBERY. Burglars are doing a good bust
ness in Washington. The dry goods estab-
lishment of Perry & Bro, in a most prominent
part OF Pennsylvania avenue, in that city, was
robbed Sunday, between the hours of eleven
and Two O'clock of silks and laces estimated
in value at $4, 600 20 Sc, 900 The robbers
are believed to have entered the store Satur-
day night and remained until Sunday when
thew made their escape by bursting the lock
