The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1894-10-06

Mr.. Talbot Renominated.

The denomination of Hon. j. Fred. c. Tai
bolt was not unexpected by the Democrats of
Carroll, and there is no disappointment at the
result Of the Towson convention. They ex-
pressed their preference at the primaries for
David N. Henning, Esq, and would have
been grati6ed had he been the nominee in
stead of Mr.. Talbot. Mr.. Talbot has never
been favorite with Carroll Democrats, but
they have always loyalty supported him when
nomnated-indeed more loyalty than even
the Democrats of his own county.
Against Mr.. Talbott's course in Congress
the Democrats of Carroll had no complaint,
but in the matter of public appointments they
censured him for not needing Democratic pub.
lie sentiment and they further intended, by
their action, to show that their support could
not be delivered to any person without first
having been consulted.
The result of the primaries in Carroll was
no index Of public sentiment toward Mr.. Tai
bolts denomination. The verdict would have
been unanimous for the home candidate but
for the influence and activity of several infu
ential Democrats, who supported Mr.. Talbot
for personal reasons. And it would have
been better for the party in Carroll had
these Democrats allowed Mr.. Henning to have
had the county uncontested. They had moth.
ing to'gain by espousing the cause of Mr.. Tai.
bolt, and the party would have been spared
an exciting contest Mr.. Talbott's renomina.
ton was assured, without contest in Carroll,
but the action of his friends here CAME near
losing him the nomination altogether. Had
Mr.. Robinson, of Hartford, consented to be-
come a candidate, Mr.. Talbot wonld not have
been chosen as the standard bearer, as the
votes of Carroll, Hartford and Cecil, that would
have been cast for Mr. Robinson, would have
secured the nomination for him. Mr.. Talbot
owes his nomination to the magnanimity of
MIR. Robinson, and he must charge whatever
anxiety he had in the matter to the mistake
of his friends in Carroll in trying to carry the
county for him and to his own action in not
listening to the people in the matter of public
appointments.
Mr.. Talbot, however, has been nominated
by the duly constituted authority of the Demo.
cratic party of the district, and is entitled to
the support of every Democrat in the district.
And everyDemocrat in Carroll who took an in
terest in the primaries should take like inter.
est in Mr. Talbot re. election. The primary is
the place to record your sentiments, and every
Democrat should abide by the decision of the
majority. Without an acquiesence in the will
of the majority there can be no maintenance
of party, and without party there can be no
unanimity of action and no application of
principles to government. Let the Democrats
of Carroll, and particularly those who sup.
ported Mr.. Henning. show that they are true
party men, and at the polls next month give
Mr.. Talbot majority that will prove their
devotion to the party and its principles. Let
the past be buried and the party stand in solid
phalanx against the common enemy.
While the new tariff bill, in the language of
the platform of the Carroll Democracy. is
long step away from McKinleyism, it is not
exactly what the country needs. The Demo-
cratic party is pledged to correct all errors
and to make it purely revenue measure
The Republican party is pledged to high taxa
ton and favoritism. Under these circum-
stances no tariff reformer can hesitate as to
his duty. Mr.. Talbot stands for all further
necessary revision Mr.. Baker, his Republi
can opponent, stands for Protection, Mon
opolies and Trusts
