<,eldeu Gessls from Senator bay
ard's speech.

speech on Thursday night, ~ Do"o
ratio meeting in Baltimore, was sum
med up in a small COMPASS, protest
against the dangers OF the cen'ralizatlon
Of power, the beauties and dement's OF
local self-government, nnjast ana nm
,nual taxation, the bravery or our
fathers in the Revolution ami .he hlgh
character of Democratic candidates t"f
office. The latter impelled him t" pro
,ose a change OF principles not men
10 i" principles and men. Mr. hayaru'
however, was talking 10 4 Baltimore
audience, in State from which we nave
not heard SINGLE word derog gtory 10
she persOual character OF any OF the
Den,ocratic candidates on the state
ticket. He certainly could not con
sist.ntly n AXE the same speech III New
York, where more than half the can"l-
dates for the principal offices on the 10
cal city ticket and for the Legislature
are Keepers of low, disreputab'e whisky
saloons, some of them the resorts OF
rhieves and the lowest Class OF soclety.
He would hardly have dared TO have
dilated 70 freely 90 the high character
of Democratic candidates of that state
whep one OF them has just been re-
moved from his office by a Democratic
Governor for malfeasance in office, ana
still the party is giving him practically
. solid support. 1t no DOUBT was
pleasure for Mr.. Bayard to tell the
Democracy of Maryland tn give their
ticket a solid support, but had he been
addressing New York meeting the
same advice would have been given, for
TO Mr.. Bayard there can be no higher
politicu character than is found ~ the
man who votes the straight Democratic
ticket. regardless of men. OF course
we can excuse Mr. Bayara f'r using
,uch rpirhet- in his speech a. " sat"aps
and puppets" applied by him TO snb"r-
,linatt military 9th 'ers during the 'att
war, for was it not one of these that dis'
armed the military company ot "lhch
Mr.. Bayard was captain commanding,
TO keep it from going over to the rebel
side We can easily imagine the feel

But her. he is golden gem plucke'
from the verhiage of the Senator
speech:
