SPECIAL OBJECT on ATTACK so EARLY
IN THE CAMPAIGN7
IL has been suggested that we have
other faithless public officials besides
Senator Ingalls,, and the question has
been asked why he has been singled
out from among the others and made
tho object Of especial attack at this
early period in the campaign. We
shall endeavor TO answer these ques-
tions in accordance with our under
standing Of the situation. We ac-
knowledge that Mr.. ingalls, is not
alone in his neglect Of the interests Of
his constituents, or still worse, in the
service actually rendered TO the inter
ests Of Wall street, and others will
receive such attention as they merit
in due time. SO far as we are con
Cerned we have our reasons for hold
ing our peace in regard TO some Of
them at present, and those reasons
will become apparent later in the
campaign. We have several reasons
also for devoting 80 much attention
to our senior senator at this early
day, and il is only fair that our read
ers should know what these reasons
are:
First-The publication Of the
specific charges against him and the
testimony by which these charges are
sustained requires large amount OF
space, and his acts OF perfdy are 30
numerous that it is necessary to begin
early in order to get through before
election.
Second--We desire to give the sup
porters Of Mr. Ingalls, ample time to
look up the records, and show, il pos
sible, that our charges are untrue,
We do not wish to do him the injus-
tico Of charging him with certain
wrongs just on the eve Of election 80
as to give his friends no opportunity
TO disprove our statements. This is
the old campaign dodge which we
wish to avoid. II is gong to take a
long time to disprove the charges we
have to submit, and we do not want
Mr.. Ingalls, or his friends to fail for
want Of time
Third-If we understand the politi-
cal situation, the reelection Of the
senator for another term is the pivotal
question upon which the entire cam
paign is to turn this year 1t has be-
come apparent that Mr.. Ingalls, is the
republican party at this time; and no
sacrifice will be too great to insure his
triumph. Every representative dis
trict in the state will be contested with
this one sole object in view; and any
bipOd who will swear allegiance to
this embodiment Of the party will
secure all the support which the party
can give him, by all the methods
justified by the Ingalls, codeo political
morals. Hessians will be hired and
mercenaries purchased, Deception
and fraud, which are pronounced
legitimate methods Of political war
fare, will be unscrup,llously employed

who was a member of Congress and
United States Minister 70 Austria, hav-
ing been appointed to that position by
President William Henry Harrison. TT
Col J anifer's mother was Eliza Trippe

ant on the farm of the late DR.. Stoughten
Dent, shot himself in the head on Sun

utes afterwards One of the children Of
Platter said he was fixing pistol in his

while she heard another discharge of the
pistol and Immediately afterwards he
came in put the pistol on a shelf
and laid down ON the bed aud died -
An inquest was held by Justice j. II i.
Cough aud verdict OF suicide was rem
dered, but there is considerable doubt
in the minds Of friends Of the deceased
as to the correctness Of the verdict, for
they argue with considerable force that
Platter was an industrious man, owned
his house and home, had a splendid crop
growing aud there was no known reason
why he Should take his life. He was
buried on Monday.

Money Accounted For.

1t will be seen upon examination Of
the road and bridge deficiency of 1887
and the insane pauper fund what has
been done with the money collected from
Montgomery and St, Mary's county
we have never seen in previous annu-
al statement what our Democratic friends
have done with the money collected from
Nicholson, Montgomery and St. Mary's
county. We know of a county bond
for $1,000 that was paid held by John
b. Lyon, and it is said tina: another bond
could have been paid had the money been
properly usel instead of paying several
hundred dollars to county officers, IN or
der to heep the tue yuie dorm. There is
other very interesting data that WILL be
given the public at no late date when
more of the De nocratic methods will be
shown up.

Senator Silyer's Death.

State Senator Benjamin Silver died
at his home, near Bel Air, in Hartford
county, on Saturday morning last Of
pertonitis, aged 81 years. Senator Sill
yer was a son-in-law Of Stevenson Arch
er, and it is supposed that his death was
fastened by the disgrace brought upon
him by his criminal father-in-law. Mr..
Silver vas a genial gentleman Of decided
convictions and waI very popular 1t
was his vote as a member of the House
Of Delegates in 1881 which secured the
appropriation Of $4,000 for Charlotte
Hall School which was needed to make
necessary repairs on the buildings, and
this is how it came about. The bill
granting the appropriation, which had
met with considerable oppositio !, was be-
ing voted on and at the close of the call
and before the vote was announced, it
was evident that it was defeated
by one majority. The mem
bers Of :he House, from this, and other
counties Of Southern Maryland, had done
everything possible to get it through
and even thea when defeat seemed inev-
