Not to be Caught by Such char.


The Anne Arundel Republican,
like its namesake, in its criticism
of Sheriff Armiger's letter to the
County Commissioners on the bal
lot-box question, attempts to bull
doze that gentleman in his official
capacity. We shall not. attempt to
go into any details of the Repubtt-
cans criticism as its comments is not
worth consideration. 1t is sufficient
FOR us to say, however, that Sheriff
Armiger was not born in the woods
to be scared by the whoop of an owl
or IN the corn field to be frightened
by q wind scare-crow. He is man
of more sound Judgement and ex-
perience. He proposes TO do his
duty without fear or Partially, or
The threats of the Anne Arundel
Republican, the Maryland RepWbb-
san, and all the combined klckers.
Attorney General Whyte's opinion
to the contrary, notwithstanding.
Sheriff Armiger is a fearless, con-
scientious man, aGd knows his duty
and will dare maintain it in spite
of all the bowling and threats from
Kickervllle. Hens man that can
point TO his term of office with a
feeling of pride to himself, his par
ty and his State, and not man
neither Democrat or Republican
can say aught against any of his Of
fetal acts. Sheriff Armiger is q
man we don't believe would stoop
to a dishonorable act, or would lend
his official position to do that which
is wrong-for friend or foe. He
has made one of the most popular
aud best sherEs Aune Arundel has
ever had, and in his retirement
from office it can well be said of
him: "Well done good and faith
full servant" In his decision in
the ballot-box question. Sheriff Ar
niger relied not only upon the ad-
vice of learned counsel and piece
dent already set in the case, but
upon his own good judgement. He
is neither a fool nor knave that
he is incapable of exercising his
own judgment in such matters. The
opinion of Attorney General Whyte
upon which so much stress is laid
by our neighbor, is not infallible as
was proven in the opinion given by
him to the Secretary of State In the
certificates of the nomination case,
which was argued before Chief
Judge Miller on maudamus by
the petitioners to compel the Secre-
tary of State to recognize the peo-
Piles ticket of Wicomico comfy,
which Judge Miller reversed; nor is
that of our learned States Attorney
any more so-besides, these men are
apt to be impartial in their advice
being of the opposite political
party and candidates on the
ticket for reelection. The Sheriff
is right in his letter of opinion. and
he will be sustained by the best le-
gal advice of the State should the
issue be brought. Crack your whip,
Mr.. Sheriff, and go ahead.
