Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1875-10-08
Democrats to the Front

Truly our lot is cast upon tempeStuous
times How little one would have thought a
few short wears back that such men as the
present arbitrator TO the Democratic party,
the Hon. s. Teakle Wallis, would have been
enlisted in the campaign of 1875, lending aid
and comfort--aye more, active and effective
support--to the Radical war-dogs and negro
social equality advocates Of this State. Who
would have thought last year when the breast
of every true Democrat was TO the wheel, that
this year The voice of such as Teake Wallis
would have blended and commingled with
such avowed and advanced Radicals as Fran
els Miller, Esq, of this county. Democrats
of Montgomery county, eyou al last willing
to receive instructions from and to affiliate with
such as he, simply because there are some DIS
appointed ambitious men, who are silly or
rascally enough to proclaim that the affairs
of old Maryland have been so badly and cor
ruptly handled by the Democratic officers that
it is time to turn our dear old State over TO
the merciless clutches of such miserable vu-
lures and ravenous by cnas as have preyed up
on aud gorged their fill out of the poor,
afflicted people OF South Carolina, Louisiana,
and other Southern States-whose only Of
fences seem TO be their meek composure and
patient suffering under innumerable wrongs
such as would even have done honor to the
patriots of down-irodden Poland.
Ring, corruption, fraud What folly to I'M
deriake to purify any thing with the assistance
of such vileness and stupidity as can be alone
expected from conglomerated mass of sore
heads, Radicals and negroes.
If there should be needed any special reason
why any decent man should not lend counte-
nance u such movement, the strongest and
best that can lie given 10 all true Marylanders,
is the deyilish grin that now marks out The
prominent Radicals throughout the State
We imagine already we hear them whispering
to one another sweet words of comfort, such
as these: let the Democrats quarrel and fuss
we will help them 10 make the tuss-but we,
tlhe Radicals will soon take sole charge OF
Maryland, and then acc will have the plumber.
81 Won we old RAIDS have a fat goose to pluck,
one tina, has been fed aud taken care of by
Democrats and handed over to us ~ Then
truly will the scenes familiar to every one in
this State prior to the ascendency of our par
~ in the State in 1861 be re-enacied. Fell
low-Democrais, be not deceived by hollow and
unmearing sounds such as you now hear, but
stand finn. In union their is strength and
safety, and if you go beyond the Democratic
fold you will, when it is TOO late, find out that
you are among rayening wolves.
The only proper way TO fight this 'War be-
tween the Roses, is for every true and loyal
Democrat TO take bold aud outspokeu stand
upon the very ramparis of the Democratic
stronghold, aud force others TO do so or leave
with the words, traitor, renegade, deserter,
placarded upon thier backs.
The present condition Of political affairs
verifes ou- prediction, when we. actuaied on
~ by our lifelong devotion 10 the true inter
ests and welfare Of The Democratic party,
warned that portion Of the Democratic press
which took such violent means TO secure
through the influence Of their papers the nom.-
nation Of certain favOEiles, and il their earu-
