II no other good comes from the Sen

to accept it's bill. the supreme good II
now seems probable will f. lew. Of
Arthur p. German being relesated
to private life. German is, in
our opinion. the very worst pro
duct Of modern politics. He IS the high
priest of the spoils system of politics. He
commenced his political career by getting
control Of the States proxies in the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal. which was
the controlling power in that corporation.
He at once destroyed the canal as an in
dustrial enterprise, and turned il into
poorhouse for the support of his political
heelers. and through these he controlled
nominating conventions. and thus filed
all the offices of the State with his sub
servient tools and willing creatures The
work was done silently and artfully, and
before the people of Maryland knew that
any plot had been formed to ensilVe them
their liberties were lost. He fixed on
Maryland the most odious government Of
machine rule that any State in this Union
has ever had to endure.
But all fraudulent and corrupt business
es Of this sort come to ruin and disaster
sooner or later. The Maryland people
have walked up TO the 4isgracefCl rule that
German has established over them and
10 his own detestable Machiavellian char
acter, and they are getting ready now to
throw him overheard We predict that he
VIII never more be officer Of theirs"
His days are numbered and the Demo
cratic party viii soon be relieved Of the
greatest curse that any political organiza-
ton has ever had to bear.
