BALTIMORE, Feb, 28.-The Sun, this
morning, says: "The New York Her.
aid of yesterday contained long let.
ter from Baltimore on the subject OF
M aryland Democracy, In which was
detailed purported interview of the
correspondent with Hon. VIM. Pink
ney Whyte. In that connection May
or Whyte was made to say that Sena.
tor Bayard, of Delaware, has entered
into coalition in Maryland with Mr..
German; that the Baltimore Gazette
is to become Bay rd-Gorman organ,
with Wilmot johnson, Of Baltimore
county, Mr. Belmont and Mr.. Travers,
of New York, backing in connection
with the present owners, who are Cor
man men; that in entering into coali-
ton with Mr.. German, who is play
ing losing game, the Delaware
Senator will lose his popularity in
Maryland as a national politician, and
will find that he has cooked his own
goose.
"When Mr.. Wbyte was asked con.
corning the letter in the Herald, he said:
Il have seen it, and all have to say is
that IL is myth" You know
myth is manufacturer of large
amount Of fiction upon very small
basis of truth. Inever made any such
remarks as those attributed to me,
and the only conversation l had on the
subject of the Gazette was in the street,
while was walking with friend,
and which related to the general rumor
that this paper was 20 be converted in.
an organ for Mr.. Bayard, when l said
it would be unfortunate, considering the
controlling influence among stockhold-
rs. | never mentioned the names of,
Messrs. Belmont, Travers and Others
and of course did not express myself in
any such language as used by the cor
respondent.
"senator Bayard was shown by the
Suns special Washington correspond
ent at the Senator's house, in that city,
last night, the report of the interview
with Mayor Whyte, of Baltimore,
above referred to. He had not previ-
ously seen it. Mr.. Bayard said that if
Governor Whyte was correctly report
ed he could only express his amaze
ment, as the statements made with ref
erence to him seemed more like ra-
wings than anything else. He said he
had never made a coalition in his life
with any one; that he had no amDi-
lions or aspirations which could be fur
thered by coalitions. He had always
cit grateful to the people of Maryland
tor the kind regard which they had
shown for him, but he had never I'm.
dertaken to mix in their State politics,
indeed, beyond knowing generally that
there were discussions among the
leaders of the two great political
parties in the State, was comparatively
ignorant Of Maryland politics.
He said he certainly had not entered
into any combination or coalition with
Mr.. German. nor had he ever been APP
preached by that gentleman on any
such subject. Indeed, he said in no
conversations, he had ever had with
Mr.. German had the name of Gov.
Whyte been mentioned. His relations
with Gov. Whyte in and out of the
Senate had uniformly been pleasant
and agreeable. In reference to any
newspaper enterprise in the city OF
Baltimore, Mr.. Bayard said he knew
absolutely nothing, except that he had
understood three months or more since
that Mr.. Croasdale, of Wilmington, in
tended to enter into journalism either
in Baltimore or New York. He had
not seen either Mr.. B lmont or Mr..
Tlavers this winter; he had seen Mr..
Wiimot johnson, who was a warm
personal friend OF his, but the subject
of newspaper ventures or newspaper
organs had never been mentioned be-
tween them. Il can say no more said
Mr. Bayard, than that SO far as am
concerned there is not the slightest
foundation in the world for any of the
statements in the article, and | repeat
that it amaZeS me.
