commission Of several city members
Of their body 10 control the prima-
ries in Baltimore. The commission
was an eight by-seven arrangement,
which was antagonized bv the ma
iority in the city executive body.
The latter threw up the sponge on
the plea that eight will generally beat
seven in politics as well as electoral
commissions. The half-breeds OF the
period would not 90 into the prima-
ries, aud the result was that q stall
wart delegates were sent to che State

and elected Mr.. Creswell its presi-

The FIRST AND LAST STONE
From the tone Of their last article, we
Judge that our brothers of the Enter
prise are willing TO drop the personal
controversy which has been going on
between us Of late, and we here take
occasion to say, that we have no wish
to continue it. For our own part. we
have never believed in personal con-
troversies and now refer again 20 the
subject only to show, that we threw
neither the first nor the last stone.
For the proof Of these assertions we
refer to the files of the two papers.
The first personality will be found in
the EnteyPrise local of April 2lst. in
which they speak of Mr.. John F. King
as Of "the BEACON" In our paper Of
April Goth, we retorted, that the re-
ference to Mr.. King and his sup
posed connection with our paper could
scarcely be considered a REPUTATION Of
our arguments against the present Ia
riff. In their issue of April 18th, our
brothers made the charge, that u gen
tleman Of leisure" "a power behind
the throne" and not ourselves, was
the author Of our editorials. This
was the first stone thrown. We are
willing to believe that our brothers
did not consider this allusion either
~ offensive or violative OF the rules
of editorial courtesy. The truth is. it
was both, and we waited for the OPP
portunity TO retaliate, which came
with Republication oftheir "Presiden-
tial Contest" We then put in our
retort. They rejoined in an article
Of extreme bitterness. To this, in our
last issue, We replied. Last Satur-
days Enterprise contained their re-
joinder, and to this We shall make no
response. From this collocation of
facts, it will be seen that our adver-
saries threw the FIRST and the last stone.
