or men went further than did and fought the
whole ticket. ! only fought one man and be q
true, sound, unchanging democrat. Yet, alone
arm blamed for my course. 10 IL that Mr.. CANA
lier deserves more from the republican party than
Mr.. Love or Is Il really true that the republican
party Of 81 Mary's have No use fof republicans?
At least that seems tae case with few would-be-
leaders. Or do the republicans feel II Incumbent
on them 70 right Mr.. Camalier's wrongs, 80 FAR
as am concerned III did wrong, which deny, i
whilst others who, not only waged war against
him but against nearly all the republicans who
were on the ticket, are not rebuked7 Is Il that
their having beaten republicans was n sufficient
atonsulent for the sin Of defeating democrat on
their ticket, whilst i, supporting republicans,
dared try 10 defeat demOcrat under their Gag,
thus adding 10 the enormity Of my crime7 u
has that look at least.
Republicans, do you think Il your duty to cry
down and mistrust man who for eight or ten
years has stood true to the interest Of your par
~, who has borne ISLANDERS and threats because
he stood up for your cause, simply because q
democrat Is dissatisfied with him2 Ny record
Is before you, and upon that stand, by Il am
willing to "sink or swim, survive or perish.
Can eny man point 10 one single campaign in
which have not stood true to the party and its
cause? Admit did wrong in 'T3, (butI don y

Besides, he had 90 get even with me. did not

did,. u was natural he should seek revenge,
but because did so two years before thai, Il am
q traitor and sold out party that would not
ereH recognize me as republican candidate.
But proudly grateful am that in the face Of all
these SANDERS, my services and work are recog-
nized and the true, staunch intelligence of the
party, or at least q large majority of II, stands
by me and supports my claims. Old St. Inigoes',
the banner district Of republicanism, Oakville,
Charlotte Hall and Chaptico, the It'll district,
and tho bulk of the vote and intelligence Of the
3rd or Leonardtown is with me. The Factory
or End district is the only district that makes
any show against me and even there have some
warm, earnest supporters. But she opposes me
because she has n pet son Of her oNEn (Col. Jos.
Allstan) whom she delights to honor and whose
popularity almost equals his merits and whom
am proud TO call friend. But when his claims
are no longer pressed am sure those old stal-
warts, Jos. B. Davis, flor whom have fought
time. and againl, Jackson, Butler, Lawrence,
etc, viii wheel into line, and the End district
be, what she has heen for years, the bulwark Of
the allied party. They will declare the founda.
ton Of their principles are All-stone work and
that Raley they cannot sound the Key Of diseord,
but win Ford the Leach-pond that divides Us
and proclaim aloud that they viii furnish Graves
To- their opponents, that united they are Abel TO
win and Sutton (ceftain) TO carry our time-hon-
oFed flag 70 the front and there Tip-pet with the
wreath Of vieisgy and then, hand In hand, we
can each shout in our Joy, ''Caut-r beat them"
THE Sutton was hard 70 work In but Il Is Just
where I want 20 see il after the Ides Of Novem-
Der, just ahead In what Il stands forl. And now
few words In reference 10 little sickly lie Of a
few weeks growth, vix.: Sutton don't want the
place. don't really care for IT, only wants to elect
Ford. only speak Of Il TO show now far some
men xill let the spirit Of detraction carry them,
what paltry, base and contemplate things they
viii descend 10, how dwaTfed such souls must
be, "curtaiied Of It's fair proportions" 90
shrunken and atrophied that the shade from q
brigade Of them would not serve as . sun screen
for the injured sight Of one-legged chigger on
q cloudy day. And now take my leave ofthis

soon 20 give you something with not quite 10

public, am, Respectfully,
