HE WOULDN'T BE FROZEN OUT

Our esteemed contemporary the Perry
vile Record contained in its issue of We'd.
nesday, the following letter from Mr. Geo
W. Sutton an intelligent and prominent
Democrat of the Seventh district, in reply
to one of DR.. Mackall's recent superlative
eulogies of Senator German, for the rapid
production of which, the doctor has been
very much in evidence of late in the columns
of the Cecil Democrat.
Like most converts to a new faith, the
doctor allows his zeal to outrun his dis
cretion, in his very pronounced admiration
of Gormanism, developed so late in life.
But while the unwelcome evidences OF
unreasoning partizanship evinced by the
doctor, may cause his judicious friends
grief, yet the public appearance of his let
ters if not increasing popular admiration
| for 'Gormanism," at least serve some
public good, in calling attention to the
intensely partisan character of the German
organs of this town, which exercise severe
censorship of the local press and religiously
exclude from their columns all timely and
truthful criticism of Gormanism and ma
chine" methods, coming from Democratic
. sources.
Under this settled policy Of both the
Cecil Democrat and the cecil CDRhty Ncirs,
Mr.. Sutton is not the first Democrat in
Cecil, who has recently been denied tn
privilege of the use of the columns o; those
organs for the expression Of honest DEM
ocratic conviction.
But recently, the official representatives.
of large and important element OF the
Democratic party in the county, were
denied the use of the columns of the
Organs, and were compelled to resort to
the advertising columns OF Republican
Cecil Democrats, who like themselves were
solely tired Of and disgusted with tina auto
cratic domination Of the 'Combination"
Boss, who dspcnses the favors, distributes
the rewards, and Furnishes the enemies of
the German machine in this county.
We are glad to know that the Democrats
attempt TO freeze out Mr.. Sutton by refus-
ing to publish his letter, has not succeeded,
and that his honest convictions have found
public expression through more discrm-
NATIVE and independent medium.
MIR. sUTToN'S LETTER.
Mr.. EpIToR:--
I've just read DR.. Mackall's letter in last
weeks Democrat If | mistake not the
doctor said in one Of his letters to your
paper Of recent date, that Mr.. German was
not an issue in this campaign. The writer,
being under this impression, expects of
course to vote the Democratic ticket. But,
if the writer thought, by voting the ticket,
he would directly or indirectly be voting
for Mr.. German he would not so vote
II the force bill is the only thing the
doctor can remember worthy of praise in
this ''most noble Festus CIV" ! would re
commend him to read Gen. Eppa Hunton
on German, in the Baltimore Sun, of Sep
TENDER 23.
was under the impression, Mr. Editor,
that Democrats all over the country con-
sidered Mr.. German an enemy of the adj
minstIation and traitor to Democratic
principles, hence | am at a loss to under
stand the DOCTORS eulogium, unless the
doctor would like to go to Annapolis two
years hence and thinks Mr.. German can
fix things to that end. My dear sir, the
present opposition to Mr.. German is but
gentle zephyr compared to the cyclone that
will strike him in '97, and if the doctor
wants to go to the State capital | would
most respectfully suggest that he join some
other popular chord' than German. 1t
seems that the force bill is in eclipse now.
While remember the force bill and am
grateful to Mr.. German for helping to
defeat it, still he only did his duty as a
Democrat Senator. Was he doing his duty
in the last Congress when he so Justly
earned the disticton of being the betrayer
Of the Democratic party? was he doing his
duty as Democratic Senator when under
his leadership the sugar trust gained its
triumph? Whose fault was it but Mr..
Germans that the Democratic party failed
to carry out its promise; that it became
contemplate and odious, especially to those
who had confidently trusted to its pledges
II vas Senator German who did his best
