Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1878-08-02

Blair-Wootton the polished gentleman
Capt. VIM. T. Dove the prototype of Old
Jackson--Dr Brewer the Var Horse of De-
mocracy-the astute young Bouic who is
loved Dy everybody, and that sterling young
giant of Democratic principles, Spencer G.
Jones'"
Among the few Democrats who received
his paper was a gentleman, who, after read
ing the first paragraph, became so disguised
that he re-mailed the paper to The editor. The
gentleman in mind is one Of prominence, and
we have permission to use his name if necessa-
ry. The other Democrats who were insulted
by Cole sending them copies, though they
have not re-mailed them, are very emphatic in
their comments. Even those gentlemen be
mentions so latteringly. express their intense
disgust. Chas Cole has made no friends in
Montgomery by circulating his obscene itera-
| ture.
The familiarity with which il deals in the
words pup, whelp, &c, are sufficient to induce
reasonable mind to conclude that the Union
is not far removed in its kindred relations
from the canine race, and its angry bowls and
growls but add additional weight OF evidence
of its still nearer relationship TO that partic-
ular species commonly known as ours.
at is generally believed that Hon. George
Peter owns and controls the pup" Without
comment upon the choiceness Of expression we
believe that no such impression exists. If
such be so, it is false. The Union in the first
instance appeared with an insidious editorial

nomnee, and raised the name of Mr.. Walsh
to the top of its columns. 1t was TO this arti-
Gle that we took exception, and we boldly and
justly set forth the claims of our county. In
short time the Union abandoned the name
Of Walsh and partially conceded Montgomery
her right. Then appeared the editorial against
Mr.. Peter, in harmony with the turgid stream
of dirtness which runs increasingly through
the Unions editorials since il began its sloppy
career. We condemned and refuied the article
and protected Mr.. Peter against the malicious
misrepresentation of the editor Of the aforemen-
toned mud-machine. This we would do for
any other respectable man in our county. We
publish a representative paper, and claim that
it is in our province to protect our citizens
against the foul ISLANDERS of blackguard. We
have not lied TO make a nominee-our exam
pie through twenty-three years of growing
success being always in depreciation of preju-
dicial talk about any aspirant. Such the
Union is fully aware of, This is the entire
case then it is because we defend the charac-
ter Of a respected and worthy citizen that the
Union draws his distorted conclusion that that
citizen is generally believed "to own and con-
troll the pup" We say it is a lie.
In conclusion we beg leave to say that at
home the SENTINEL is well-known and has for
the past twenty-three years battled for the
success of the principles of the Democratic
party and has not during that time been driv-
en- TO the necessity of advocating the claims of
any man, and in the future as in the past will
cheerfully support any nominee Of our party,
which will and must rule the country after the
next election
