Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1878-04-26
QUE NEXT CONGREsSMAN.

The following appeared in the Frederick
Union Of the 18th instant:
'The latest and most incredible report now
ahoat is, that the redoubtable "kernel," OF
the "Staff,n of this city, is himself candi-
date for Congress We wonder whether the
Kernel is vain enough to think he can get
the vote of Frederick county for himself in
Congressional Convention to turn it over TO
George Peter, OF Rockville, for voting to re-
duce the taxable limits of Frederick? If that
is the programmed that is the game-it is
time for the true men of Frederick county to
go to work and undeceiye the hired Lobbyist.
How many Democrats in Frederick City will
submit to the ring arrangement The success
and harmony of the party demands the nomi-
nation of Hon William Walsh for Congress
in this District"
The Kernel referred TO above is Victor
Bauchman; the false photography is joke
Gen. Grant said once while in a sober mo-
ment "The Democrats never had chance of
success but that it was thrown away" Such
is invariably the case At the dawn Of success
jealousy and abuse creep into the ranks des-
troying harmony. Our maj ority in this con-
gressonal district is not one whit too large to
allow any abuse 10 be applied to an asPirant
that might in the slightest degree emblter
his friends, such as that in the Union.-
What do the people of the congressional dis
trict care about the taxable limits of Frederick
city? Nothing, the answer is, compared with
representative in Congress. Every man in
fight for the nomination has bis choice Let
him advocate the claims of that choice re-
specially and not tarnish the character of a
political brother. Defamation is capital for
in case the abused asprant receives the nomi-
ton. Whether Mr.. Peter gets the nomination
or not, such abusive publications are prejudi-
cia to the party, from the fact that his friends
more bitter; if he receives the nomination
probably the Frederick people are against i'm,
and if he loses it his Montgomery friends will
be incensed by the thought Of foul play. 1t
sake the nominee, for his devotion to the party
is too great nor would it be in his power to
recall them to the fold.
Montgomery county deserves to have the
nomination this time for her faithful work in
the past. She don't intend to give up her
right either for flattery or threats. She is en-
titled to it and she is going to have it, so all
Western Maryland may just as well turn its
mind to something else until after the nomi-
nation is made. Montgomery will name the
man, and we tell Western Maryland she had
then better wake up and elect him, who ever
he may be; word to the wise is sufficient.
The Union, has, in our judgement, picked
up the wrong man. Mr.. Walsh has had the
position for two terms, and we frankly say
that some incidents have occurred in the ia
tercourse of our people with their representa-
tive, in regard to their interests, which have
not increased his chances for a reelection -
Not that we have any i'll feeling towards Mr..
Walsh that we say this, but on the other hand
we admire his action in Congress; it is for
the sake Of the party that we say he should be
the last man to receive the nomination.
