ANOTHER LIE NAILED.

sue OF MONDAY laSU Il CHARACTERISTIC us
patch from Frederick City, purporting to
be the story of q wicked attempt upon
the part of the political friends of Mr.
Creswell to capture the primaries in that
city on Saturday last. In truth, the story
is the stale cry Of "stop, theft to divert
attention from the plans and operations
of the professional political burglars who
burrow in the Baltimore Custom House.
Every man in Maryland, who knows any
thing, knows that John l.. Thomas aided
by his trusty lieutenants, is prostituting
the federal patronage in Maryland for
purely personal ends. To them the sue
cess of the Republican party and its Presi-
Dental nominee is of minor consideration
to the perpetuation of their own political
power. Every where throughout the
State they have attempted to suborn to
their own uses the office-holding power.
This was the case in Frederick City. The
federal otfice-holders in the Baltimore
Custom House, under the direction and
control of a man named Vernon, wanted
to organize the primary in the interest of
the Custom House faction. To their sur
prise, they were met by a majority of the
Republicans of that city who were I'M
equivocally opposed to Custom House
domination. This is the grievance that
the Baltimore american seeks to venti-
late. The methods of Thomas support
erS failed at Frederick.
The voters refused to endorse Fulton
and Thomas succession. and by their
presence at that primary, expressed their
disapproval of Custom House political
methods. That these methods are often
sive to respectable Republicans every
where. is doubly apparent. In Baltimore
city even. they could not to-day maintain
their control of the party machinery. eX-
cept by the preparation Of the grossest
frauds at the primaries. At any fairly
conducted election they would be out
voted two to one. Against them is array
ed every respectable element of the Re-
publican party. To put the Republi-
can party in Maryland in position to
command the confidence and respect of
the people of the State is the object to
which Mr.. Creswelfs efforts and those of
his friends are being directed. Republi-
canism in the State has long enough laid
PROSTATE under the impotent and selfish
leadership of cunning and INSCRIPTIONS
politicians.
That the Baltimore american with its
habitual disregard of the truth, falsitied
the issue raised at Frederick the follow
ing interview with the Hon. Milton G.
Urner. a gentleman Of character and
ability, and the present Republican Rep
resentatvc in Congress from the Sixth
district amply attcsts:
INTERVIEW WITH HON. NJ. G. URNER.
A dispatch from Frederick, Md, publish
ed in the Baltimore american, on Monday,
aroused the attention of the interviewer of
the National Republican, and he sought the
residence of the Hon. Milton G. Timer, Re
publican Representative in Congress from
the Sixth district, one OF that political per-
suasion from Maryland. Mr.. l-rner is well
informed as to political matters in his
State, and ut the interview thus dScaurSed:
