BALTIMORE COUNTY, May 26th, 1884.
Messrs. Longnecker Bros.:-Though differing
with you in politics, yet believing in the DISPOSE
ton always manifested in your paper to act fair
ly between man and man, l respectfully ask
little space in THE UNION, which is extensively
read by Democrats, to reply to letter of William
NJ. Isaac, published in the journal last week. 1t
is characteristic of this individual to strike at those
whom he assails when there is no opportunity for
q reply to counteract the mischief he intends. His
"organ" is always closed against any attempt to
refute his statements or expose his sinister pur-
poses. The primaries will be held on Saturday,
3lst inst, and he hoped by his letter to Ruby to
reach public who are not looking for him, and
by having his name in the paper to let the people
know that he is still willing to serve them
Through Ruby he wants the numerous friends he
has to know he would like to be delegate to the
Democratic National convention, but that he is
not candidate except in the way that he under
stands it that is he is a candidate on the Billy
Isaac's plan. He complains that he was left at
home in 1880, and some one DESTROYS of being In
ternal Revenue Collector or Surveyor was sent in
his place. His grievance was the pleasure of the
Democratic yoemanry of Baltimore county four
years ago, and will enjoy the same pleasure
this year. We want better, sounder and more dis
interested material than he is made of to represent
us at Chicago.
His letter was the laughing stock of quite num-
Der of prominent county Democrats in the city on
Saturday. There was not one among them who
could name a single Democrat who would like to
see him delegate. He ought to give list OF
those friends whom he is trying to appease through
Mr. Ruby. Every well-informed person In the
county knows that outside of the Clerks office this
yopular individual could count all his friends On
the fingers of one of his hands, The Democracy
of Baltimore county are informed by him that ne
has no pecuniary interest in the contest and that
he is not pecuniarily able to enter it. Everybody

contest and that there is no occasion to inform his
numerous friends of his pecuniary inability. viii
any one of his host of friends whom he is pleading
with rise and tell of any contest that William M.
Isaac entered that had not for its sole object
his pecuniary interest and that alone?
This modest man, who has no pecuniary interest
in this contest, makes shot at Mr.. Talbot by
saying that he wants Congressional renomina-
ton with its $4,000 emouments. Suppose he
does? Has he not shown himself more worthy OF
reward at the hands Of the Democracy than this
chronic pace-hunter? William NJ. Isaac is very
fit man TO allude to any seeking an office with
its emoluments. The public well know how dis
interested he has been for the last twenty-five
years, serving them without receiving any emolu-
ments. 1t takes just such generous, liberal
hearted philanthropist to tell the people that he is
pecuniarily unable to enter the contest He ought
to have written to his numerous friends earlier and
they might have taken up subscription to help
MIN enter tue COutCSt. II HdH thdo uooS S'0iJ
thing for nothing ought to be helped by his nnmer-
Gus friends and admirers. He lets this admiring
throng know, through Mr.. Ruby, that Mr.. Tai
bolt never in his life supported him for nomina-
ton. That clnches it. Any one who doesn't
support him for a nomination should not have the
hardihood to seek a nomination with any emolu-
ments. This modest man of pecuniary inability
to enter the contest, "who would pay his own ex-
penses to Chicago" "but who is not candidate,
yet "who would be pleased to do so,' ought to
know that much of Mr.. Talbottspopularity among
the true Democracy of Baltimore county is due to
his constant opposition to the would be "boss'
getting a nomination of any kind from the party.
Talbott's political sense is keen and penetrating
and he has learned to make good use of it by
never helping william NJ. Isaac to get any nomi-
nation. 1t will be used to advantage in the pres
ent contest as it was in 1880 in leaving the man
| with grievance at home, that he may have
his pecunary inability relieved of delegates ex-
penses to Chicago
There is better Democratic timber in the wood
than William NJ. Isaac to represent us at Chicago,
| and as long as there is will take care that the
| corrupt bark Is left at home.
