There is y iino family row going on in
Baltimore. The local newspapers contain
- broatslds that has brcn let into Mayor
Latrote by tho men who conducted his
campaign. The arrangement is signed by
General George s. Brown, President OF the
City Democratic Convention, William
Keyser, Chairman Of the Democratic Ex.
e:ntion Committee and Lewis N. Hopkins,
member Of tho committee--alI citizens Of
good standing and ample responsibility.
These Democrats charge that the Demo-
cratic Mayor Latrobe has been guilty OF
8dtpliclty towards them, tho Democratic
party, and the community. A minor
charge, that no played double a! a certain
election Of judlel, brought out from LIS.
Stt1bc THIS admission, in the presence Of
. General Blown and Mr.. Koysei: Meeting
one OF the defeated candidates, to whom
he desire to :eay something p%leasant," he
a,d he was sorry for bis detea. and had
due all he could for him. Latrobe dc
c red to B:own aud ksyser TINT he did
not vote for that man, as he had been
publicly charged with doing. but he begged
%p!teously no! TO be forced 10 make that
statement in a published card, for he did
not want to compromise himself with the
defeated candidate. The more Reasonable
presumption is that he was carrying q
doable falschood in tho hope Of catching
votes. Evea this does not show Mayor La
trobe at his worst.
Before election no promised to conduct
his Office on business principles, to make
removals only for cause, and in filling W.
caucies to appoint tho best men. Alter
election he te3an to carry out the bargains
by which he was bound. Pressed by GEN.
eral Brown and Mr.. koyser to do a thing
which he admitted 10 be right, aud said he
desired 10 do-retain n faithful olicer-he
made the disgraceful admission that no was
underhond to Mr.. R,bert Garrett TO let
him name a. man for that place; aud he
begged that Messrs. Brown and Keyser
would obtain from MI. Garrett permission
ITO use his own Judgement"
It wasn't Mr.. Garrett who had been elect
cd Mayor Of Baltimore, but Mr.. Latrobe.
"A nun would have drowned himge!f be-
fore asking that permission, and an honest
man wouldn't have mortgsged his soul for
campaign expenses, as Mr.. Lstrobe de-
4@clares he did, in the following admission
to Mr.. Keyeer:
THAT before entering upon his campaign
Tor Mayor he had an understanding with Mi.
Robert Garrett; that MIR. Robert Garrett
would bear one.half OF tho expenses he it,
Cured in securing his election; that Ii cot
them about twelve thousand dollars apiece;
that he became q candidate at the request OF
Mr.. Garrett, ard that, in consideration Of
all this, he had agreed to be governed in his
appointment by M. CARROTS wishes, and
that, il he inaisted upou his not doing 80. be
could not rsGppoint Mr. Taylor"
There is 81 epi!aph for the mayor OF a
great city, peuued, like Gray's, by his own
hand !-confc:sion at once OF marvellous
5venality and imbecility.
1t wsatokeep another bargain that Mayor
Latrobo ut once begau 10 move on Fiie
Marshal Heiskcll, who ran against him as
an Independent candidate, the plan being
to abolish an Office Of which Mr.. Heiskell
Is the first incumbent and which was ere.
ated to snpplant a commission which had
traded on its opportunities. MIR. Latlobe
Is in q bad box, and it will be interesting
to see how he will Try 10 get ont Of L
