Not wishing to DO injustice even to a
political opponent, we give space at the au-
tbor's request 10 the following letter. The
| statement in regard 10 his remarks on that oc-
casion, was based on reports of The meeting as
published in the Baltimore papers:
SANDY SPRING, Nd. Dec. ] 10.
To tie Editors ctthe american
In the sketch of the few remarks made in
'roductory to the reading of the admirable
letter OF the Hon. John Richie to the mass
meeting at the Maryland Institute last night,
YOU made me say 81 look with competency
upon the scenes that occurred in Baltimore
during the recent election, &c. This senti-
ment is SO repugnant 10 my feelings that am
not willing to let the statement remain uncor-
rccted. What ] said was that if ! were des-
rous solely Of the success OF my party nigh!
look with competency on such scenes, for
they tended TO bring the Democratic party to
disgrace and defeat, but, as a citizen, would
unite with honest Democrats 10 reform the
government of the State, and secure the well
fare of our people even il thereby partisan
advantage were lost. | cannot look with
complacency upon scenes of violence and fraud
even though they do rebound to the advan-
tage of my party, and had much rather that
The Democratic party should be pure and hon
Republican party could only succeed by like
purity, honesty and patriotism, and the coun-
try would be entirely safe with either.
Very respectfully, FRANCIS MILLER.
THE METHoDIsTs AND THE THIRD TERM QuRs-
TIoN-The Philadelphia City Item, having pub
lshed what purported to be an interview with
Bishop Simpson, of the NJ. f Church, in which
that divine was represented as saying that
''should President Grant be reelected the
people will have done wsely,'' the bishop has
denied the statement that he had expressed
any opinion on the third term question, and
deprecaies any attempt to connect the church
with political nominations or elections.
The Rev DR.. John b. Edwards of Rich
mond, Va, one Of the leading ministers of the
N E. Church South declined to express him
self on the third term question to Enquirer
reporter on the ground that he was not
politician. He said, however:
II do not hesitate to say that ] regard
Bishop Haven a nuisance His views,
charitahly hope, represent but small portion
of the great church with which he is officially
connected If ! believed that his views, as
expressed in the joint meeting OF the Methodist
Sunday School Union and as reported in the
Boston papers, really represented the senli-
ment of the Methodist Episcopal Church
North, so far from favoring any approximation
to an organic nnon between the Southern
and Northern Churches, | should deprecae
fraternity itself as n calamity, as involving
shameful compromise Of Southern Method

It is to be an earnest supporter of the cause Of
the Democracy, and will endeavor TO promote
harmony in the party, and TO unite the two
wings in Allegany county. 1t would seem
that the course of the Times does not give sat
isfaction to the party. We should think that
the party would do better with reliable jour-
nal and not have such a sneak in the camp as
the Times, which has of late undergone Re-
publican conversion Much success we earn

Eighteen months ago ] told you that you

10 emphasize that statement. All our people
are for you, and you can carry the State be-
yond peradventure. Our danger is that the
West will demand the nomination. This can
also be aserted, of course, by a union Of New
England, the Middle States, and stray votes
from the South. A potent factor in our next
convention will be the secret anti-Caibolic or
der. Grant is member, and ii has good
deal Of strength in Congress. | think you
ought TO go in. II can be arranged SO that
you can he initiated anywhere by one person.
The order is spreading widely. NY ooga-
tions do not permit me TO say more Than This,
except that Grant, no doubt, relies upon il to
promote his aims. With wisdom Washing
ton, and with the States we have carried, we
can surely hold the country But to hold il
for q hap-haZard candidate is hardly worth
the candle. For one OF vast multitude
want 10 hold it for you"
Political GOSSIP VIM Samuel Bowles,
editor of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
sends these items Of political gossip to that
paper:
''Mr. Blaine will make an early and ag-
gressve currency reform speech. Postmaster
General Jewell has won complete victory
over Burt, the Boston postmaster, and is for the
time fully established in the cabinet Secre
lary Brstow, too, so far holds himself firm and
strong. However the Presidents friends COM
plain and threaten, the President himself sus-
tains him, and bids him go ahead. Very
ugly rumors are about that the Developments
OF the Chicago whisky ring may make Grant
vince worse than St. Louis has done. The
third-term purposes of the President are still
stouty disputed By intelligent republicans.
The signs point both ways, and the party
leaders are confused and demoralzed But
the democratic leaders are equally in fault for
their future, and the wisest are not very con-
fiden for next year. Al present Tilden and
Lamar is the strongest presidential ticket on
that side, and Brisow and Blaine the strong
est republican"
