Correspondence of the Democratic Advocated
BALTIMORE. Mp. Nov. 8. 1891.


BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 8. 1891.
Your issue of this date, roosters and all,
came safely to hand. Why and what they
crowed for was to the point, and go to prove
the Carroll county chickens are the best poul.
try in the State and far superior to the Blue
Hens chickens of our little neighbor Della
ware. | exhibited the ADVOCATE generally
and it was greatly admired and complimented
and every fellow said: II wish we had a
regular, genuine, rooster Democratic paper
here l can simply endorse their views, as
Baltimore needs more than anything else an
outspoken and fearless "DEMoCRATIc ADvO
CATE, and our people are happy at the pros
pect of having one, because before the cleo
ton Senator German and others suggested its
necessity, and after our grand, great and
Vansnorting victory it is seen from the press
that our Attorney General elect has stated
that he intends to formulate articles of incor-
poration for Just such daily as will with no
uncertain sound speak out for Democracy and
supplant in this community and State the
,Sunpdper, that so frequently of late has taken
excursions into the habitations of Indepen-
dents, Republicans and Africans.
As leader of public opinion, the Sunpd.
per has shown itself in the late election as an
uncertain quantity" since it is impossible
Supplies reelection to the Council, or of the
reelection of Harry S. Cummings, the colored
Councilman, who ran and registered himself
as an independent Democrat. Probably
the latter is the only outcome of the Sanpd
peT's last and greatest effort TO defeat the
Democratic party.
With thirty odd thousand majority for Gov
ernor, and a majority in the city of II 800, it
is about time for the good people of this State
to understand that the SunpdpeC has but
little influence with either the Democratic or
Republican parties in this State and may in
the future, unless il mends its ways, to use
vulgarism, find itself sin the soup" as the
representative only of "wants, ito let, 'for
hire and situations wanted.
In our late election the SuRpdper did not
influence vote lone way or the other," so far
as results could be observed, for the reason
that Republicans either voted the Democratic
ticket or staid away from the polls, while
every real Democrat voted the straight or regu-
lar ticket. The fact is that the SHRpdpeI'S
first page paid articles quoted from its former
editorials, endorsing Latrobe and the party
and denouncing the "fusonistsn aud ''inde-
pendentsn as "Iibelers of our city, reacted,
and like little chickens came home to roost.
In other words out of its own mouth the San
paper condemned itself and in the role of party
traitor did great work to denonnce itself and
increase our majority most surprisingl y-and
that it took twenty cents line to eat its own
words, and in doing so it was great assist
ant in our glorious victory. 1t may yet live
10 learn that consistency is jewel and that
party treason is shame and outrage upon
both its advertising and subscribing patrons.
God speed to our Democratic daily and pity
for the Sunpdpei-S Inconsistencies.
OCCASIONAL.
