MessSs. Editors With your kind permission
again invite public attention 20 the renewed mis-
representation and SANDER Of Gov. Hamilton by
the subsidiEed editor Of the Maryland Journal
IL Is impossible for him 20 maintain dignifed
silence, because he Is chained fast 10 the political
circus wagon, and being one Of the hired claekers
he must hercely howl, truth or no truth, whenever
the horn Of the ring blows ut headquarters The
100 subsidy Is the sounding brass that finds the
subsidized Journal editor at his old tricks again,
and II will always End him engaged in like low
performances. for whenever q man gets a large pile
OF the peoples money for the very smallest amount
OF work, he becomes thereby the bascst kind Of 4
hirsling. IL Is 20 be expected that the subsidized
editor, acting on the advice administered so freely
to Others, would call OF his dogs" To use his own
language. and leave the Governor, unmolested, TO
the conscientious discharge OF his manifold con-
stitutiona duties. After the State cont enton had
performed the eut-and.dried work Of nominating
Mr. Heating for reelection so unanimously the
tight Of the factions was considered over, but 10
seems the agoniEed ring and Its hiTelinHs persist
in keeping II up. The subsidy Journal editor
answered the crack Of the party whip, nut away
his smoothing irons" in the kitchen cupboard,
aud invited all hands TO unite in pulling through,
for Comptroller, our pure, igh.minded, honest,
economical, treasury saving, law.abiding and con
stitution- observing candidate-the Hon. Thos. J..
Heating. Yet when the first shadow Of opportu-
nifty offers, the pocket filled editor Of the Journal
hurTiedly embraces IL, and rails bascly at the Gov
ernor again, and deliberately and willfuly lies on
him, as he did In his vulgar, personal comments
on his Excellency's Maryland Institute address,
charging the Governor with assailing the registers
| Of voters Of Baltimore city and wanting them all
| turned out. Now, he has the SLIGO brazen
efrontery 10 accuse the Governor Of preferring
charges against the registers Of Baltimore city and
Anne Arundel county-yes, pTeferring and with

60 try them. Here are some specimens Of the sub
| sidists falsiied statements: "The Governor will
try several Of the registers Of voters Of Baltimore
| city. against whom he has instituted charges."-
''Gen. Bradley 7. johnson and John v. l.. findlay
| are counsel for Coz. Hamiifon." "Gen. Bradley
| 7. johnson aud Joseph s. 1Ieuisler were counsel
for Gov. Hamilton" IAN charges against the
registers except that 10 the failure To- place the
residences Of the voter upon the poll books was
| abandoned by the Gorersor." This L. all pure,
unadulterated Justification and lying. The sub
sidy editor knew when he wrote the above that he
was will:ulIy and for an ignoblc purpose placing
