GARD FROM Mr., ISAAC CRowTHER, sr.

Messrs. Editors A few days after was elected
one of the County Commissioners for Baltimore
county was sent for by gentleman in Baltimore,
in whom had great confidence, and went to see
him. When 1 arrived at his office found the OBJ
ject of sending for me was to select counsel and
make arrangements to go into office at once
Among others present during the meeting was
John l. Yellott, whom was urged to appoint as
counsel. TWAS represented that the Commission
then in Office about to commit some i'm
proper acts and that the Governor would withhold
our commissions without we selected Mr.. Yellott,
who could secure the commissions at once, as he
was known to the Governor as a Democrat but
was really with us. paper then presented
to me to sign, selecting him and Mr.. Bosley as
counsel to our Board These gentlemen not
my choice, and 1 objected to signing the paper
until l was assured that they were the choice of
Messrs. Hunter and COrse. When saw Messrs.
Hunter and Corse l found that the matter had
been misrepresented to me in this us well as in
other particulars. Mr.. Yeott got my commits
sion and gave it to me on the following Monday.
He afterwards requested me to give it back to him.
which l refused to do. He was not appointed
counsel to our Board after the means he used to
that position, and that, probably, may have
something to do with his efforts to msreprescnt
us. ISAAC CRowTHER, SR.
The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1877-10-13

We announced last week that statement would
be published denying the charges of VIM. NJ.
Isaac and John l. Yellott, which were made in
their campaign document published in the JOurn-
al and Herald two weeks ago. We are pleased
to say that we are able to lay this document be-
fore our readers this week, and we ask them to
give it a careful perusal. 1t is plain statement
of fdcts--indisputaJle Jacts-and effectually
brushes the false and slanderOus charges made by
Messrs. Isaac and Yellott. The private character
of Messrs. Hunter, Corse and Crowther is known
to be such that they would scorn to set their
names to any paper which would tend to deceive
the public. They have reviewed this statement
thoroughly and have weighed well its contents.
They kRow that their regulations are at stake,
and does any sane man for one moment believe
that at this time they could be induced to make
false report of the condition of the countys fnan-
ces? We say emphatically that they could not,
and we are confident, the honest and fair-minded
people of Baltimore county would rather believe
men of their character, who make q statement in
their own Defense than TO believe the language of
VIM. u. Isaac and John I. YelIott, who are work
ing in the interest of a corrupt political ring.

GS~ A meeting of the Superior Council of the
Reform party was held in Baltimore ON Wednes-

their ticket, viz Joshua F. Benson was nomina-
ted for Commissioner in place of George Little,
and Reuben Gladfeiter and r. A. Remare for
House of Delegates, in place of W. II. Curtis and
VIM. Grason, declined. Two of the gentlemen
nominated, Messrs. Benson and Gladfeter, are on
the fusion ticket of the workingmens and Peo-
pies parties, and Mr.. Remare will also be substi-
tuted for Mr.. Sparks, on the latter ticket. Mr.,
c. Irving Dirty, who seems to be managing the
politics of Baltimore county as well as of Balti-
more city, stated at the meeting on Wednesday
night that no more changes would be made in the
Reform ticket

GS~It seems that Anne Arundel, like Balti-
more county, is afflicted with a Democratic ring
which has not been conducting the affairs of the
county in manner to give satisfaction to the bet
ter class of Democrats, and the latter publish in
Tuesdays Baltimore papers a call-signed by a
large number of prominent gentlemen-callng for
a Reform Democratic convention at Annapolis on
Saturday, Oct 18th, for the purpose of nominating
an Independent ticket. The call invites all who
favor "an honest an economical expenditure of the
peoples money, and are opposed to excessive tax
alton and ring rule in county and State affairs to
be present" Such meeting in Baltimore county
would be styled by the Journal "a Republican
trick" In fact anything not managed by the
ring is, in the eyes of the Journal, only dodge
of the Republicans to get into power.

~ 1t is being industriously circulated by

1t has been so long since any Jury in Baltimore

that it is almost beyond the memory of any of us.
This very grave charge is brought against Judge
YeIlOtt by members Of his own party, who, with
out the hope of reward or fear of punishment, had
the manliness to do what they conceived to be
their duty. t

no Mr.. Joseph Thompson, the Labor candidate
for Mayor of Baltimore city, is making quite a
reputation for himself as public speaker. Early
in the campaign such men as Hon. VIM. Pinkney
