Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1881-06-17
Announcements.
Tothe Democratic Conservative Voters
of Montgomery County.

Felt0o- Citizens AS my name has APP
peared ip the SENTINEL proposing me lat
the instance of some friends,) candidate
for the next House of Delegates, and as
have been urged in the same direction by
others, hereby announce myself candi-
date for the nomination
AS the Legislature is elected and con-
vened biennially for the purpose of revising
existing statutes and enacting others, in
order that the laws may conform to the
wants created by the constantly recurrin &
changes of circumstances which surround
us, and consequent changes of popular will,
the representatives of the people take upon
themselves grave responsibilities There
fore, although il is thought imprudent by
some, and not the way to win, it seems to
me but fair for those who offer for such i'm
portant service, to give brief outline lat
least) of the principles that would govern
their action should their services be accepted
The burden of taxation necessary for run
ming the vast machinery of government in
all its departments and branches, and the
payment of the annually accruing interest
on the public debt, and for the gradual liqui-
dation of the same, is heavy upon the people
even under wise and economical admins
tration but the illegal, unreasonable and
reckless extravaganza practised by the DOM
inant party Of late years in National
affairs, has greatly aggravated the evil. The
wonton and wicked prodigality has been
deplored mo doubt by all classes of tax
payers, but more especially has the DEM
ocratic Conservative party protested against
1t, and from time TO time has organized
and reorganized and rallied their forces
for the avowed purpose Of putting an end
to it. How naturally then would the body
of said party become restless and dissatisfied
upon any well-founded suspicion that q like
extravaganza had obtained in the financial
policy of the State, shaped and managers it
is, by officers and servants of its own choos-
ing 1t Is notorious that for several years
such u suspicion has existed among the
people generally and 10 such an extent that
lifelong Democrats have become lukewarm
and render to their party ticket an unwilling
support, but of the masses of the people few
have access to the means of accurate infor-
nation, and are therefore liable to be de-
ceived or kept in u state of doubt and I'M
certainty by the whitewashing process prac-
ticed by artful officials who have selfish
purposes to subserve. The expositions re-
Gently made by the Governor are certainly
sufficient TO remove all doubts from the
minds of those who give him credit for truth
heart that he is nromnted NV = detern, n, ny
