EUGENE DieaEs, EsQ-Dear SIR. You have no

have an object in calling your attention 70
Calvert county politics, and you can either pass
this by in silense not, just az it suits your
fancy or deem roper. l do not wish to be
known in the m-tter myself as am in the dem
ocratic fold butI must confess that would
like 10 see Bond defeated, and make no secret,
so far as that is concerned; l however do not
wish 20 incur tie responsibility Of taking u a
tive part ia detsa ting even a nominee Of a dem.
ocratic ring Convention. When the last Calvert
county congressional convention was held 10

cy Jane ColtOS alsol. and IL was arrang in
consideration d his obtaining the Calvert Co.
vote, that the State patronage, police boat, nc,
should he given to the county and Bond and Sc
| curity given that their representatives and rinK
should hereafter pull in Germans harness
The friends Of Capt. 10. Forrest Of ST Mary's
county, who was turned cut of Office think and
feel, to say hsleast, that he was treated very
ulseourseouslI by the rlng and especially by
Henkle, Cotton, Bond Co., but they attach no
blame whatever to Barnes Compton. Calvert
county was baidOsed into majority for HenkIe
and hence the reason for the transfer Of pOliti-
cal patronage from st. Mary's-on account OF
Cranes majority inclusively also.
My name hEiven TO you confidentially, and

wishes finan,ially, am very truly,
