Editors BEACON :-Perznif one. Who while not
a resident OF your county. : 10 ssme extent
interested i'm the welfare Of the same a wen
as the whole state and also Of the Democratic
party. take issue with the two letters of Mr..
Dent and Mr. Dyer in your issue Of Sept. s.
In Mr.. Dents letter he says. senator Gcrman
| Is no issSe at ALL 70 the thinking OF many
Of the ablest and best democrats i'm the state
Mr.. German Is the sole issue I'm this campaign.
On one side we have Mr. Lownaes who. white
a republican is man of moderate and conscr-
vative views. a man who has always been con-
scienfious In his actions, the peer Of any man
In the State 10 make q good governo~. On the
other side are have Mr.. Hursx--a gentleman
every one says above reproach personally. but
what does he stand for politically Who does
he represent? We're there any Hurst delegates
sent to the convention who nominated him |.
baltimore with 1900 democratic votes polled
less than 5000 nj tae primaries that seat dele
gates that helped TO nominate him. Are not
two men oely in the State responsible for his
nOmination-Gorina and Raisin7 He 4 there
fore, their candidate and no one else Is not
Mr.. German q worse enemy Of the democrat
ic party than any republican In the State
Who Is dividing the party today Is not Mr.
German alone responsible for tie division In the
party. and for what purposes Certainly, not
for the good of the party, or for the benefit of
the State, but fer his own selfish ends We
have no democratic nominee for governor We
have personal representative Of Mr. German
and n few followers who are democrats because
they live by being linked with German who
uses the democratic votes TO keep them into
power 50 they can draw their salaries. Mr..
German Is democratic in speesh and rcpublI-
can In action. lie has violated all the princi-
pies and tenets or the democratic party; he has
been party TO and an alder and abettor to all
the disgrace of fraudulent voting that has been
done in the past fifteen years I'm the State of
Maryland to keephis so-called democratic par
ty In power. When the State has been always
twenty Ave to thirty thousand democratic, he
has endeavored 90 defeat every public meas
ure of benefit TO the State and democratic par
tv that has been proposed In the State rs well
as national council; he has been worse enemy
OF the democratic party OF this State than ten
thousand of the alert republicans In the State.
The only way to bury Mr.. German is to bury
his candidates. This Is State issne Now is
the time 10 do ii and do IL so effectually that it
will end Mr.. German using the honest voters
OF the State for his own selfish ends. The best
stock in trade Mr.. German has he has worked
Gratis who are opposed to him. As to Mr. Dy-
er's arguments as to what the republicans did
thirty years ago, does any sane man think any
decent republican would want a repetition Of
reconstruction acts or think there Is any possi-
bility Of repetition of them now. Has there
been no advancement of public opinion In
thirty years? Would they now condone acts
that were possible under the passions of civil
war. IL there are any voters In the State Of
Maryland such chumps as to now be frighten-
ed by what happened thirty years ago, they
should be DISTINGUISHED as being mon compOs
mentis." Let every democrat who is one from
convictions and principle vote against German
by voting for Lowndes; then after burying
German out of sight for good, old Maryland
will go democratic by thirty thousand majority
without such frauds as have been blamed ON
the democratic party by the actions of Cor
man and his hencemen to keep themselves i'm
power and enable them to to draw their sala-
ries regular. Let the brains OF the party, the
worthy men lead it and not a one man power
drivei it. A DEMOCRAT.
