NesSrS. Editors, citizen;
Permit me to write you few lines
to my many friends and relatives,
through the columns of the CITIZEN
that visits me every week from my ma
tive city, Frederick.
| feel interested in the welfare of
old friends and relatives about election
time. My aim is to have them vote
for the party made 10y the people ami

party. This Old party is for the masses
and against the classes. stand bv

OF Baltimore CITY, the distinguished
citizen and merchant, and one Of the
most successful men of the City OF Bal

and will be the next Governor IL
Maryland, 10y at least twenty thousand
majority. see also the name Of Mar

Settle 1t Amongst Yourselves.
JOHN :. WRIT,
Chairman.

The following terse and timely ad-
vice is gwen in the Rockville Senti-
mel:
Democrats, whatever may be their per-
soual appointments, should reflect
that il is serious thing to break party
ties without ample Justification, ana
that the future affords opportunities to
fight out within the party lines the
cause which the Democratic party
must settle for itself.
We give space to this article from
the Westminster -idrocute, fully con-
fident that it viii make those who
read, reflect and peruse before they
periure themselves by doing what son e
O0st-ioiujei Democrats have threaten.
ed-vote the Republican ticket this
fall The idrocate says
The following Is from the Baltimore
NeCS, an alleged Democratic paper
that has tor several Years been oppos-
ing everything the Democratic party
has done NJ further evidence is
needed now to show that it is auti-
Democratic, for it deliberately misrep-
reSeuts the issue Of the November cleo
ton.
1.-The personality Of the candidate is
not the question at issue. As a matter
of course, the managers were expected
to put up Mr.. Hursts reputation as a
business man and shield to hide he-
hind. The real question is: Are the
people Of Baltimore and of Maryland
going t. surrender into the hands of
Messrs. German and Rasin their pOlit-
ical rights and privileges? If they are
ready To do 50, there Is no reason for
complaint; if they are not, then there
was never juster cause for revolt
Admit, however, that the NeWS is
correct. Now what does it want the
Democrats to do?-defeat the party
to get rid of German and Rasin
and accept the rule of Republican
Iing rule Infinitely worse. Does not
the Netcs know that the Republicans
of the State are having but very little
say in the selection of delegates to the
Cambridge convention? Did it not STE
the machines in every county, nearly
carrying the primaries and cOuven-
tons for the Lowndes-Clabaugh-
DiXOn-Denhis combine? Does 1t not
know that the party in Baltimore is
bOssed by men no better, to say the
least, than German aud Raisin? Do
not the rival leaders there practice all
the rascalty in poltics-bribery, bal
lot box stuiling aud fraud-in trying
to defeat one another? And if they do
this within their ranks, what would
they not do against the Democrats?
l he Republican ring III thi. State is
aS corrupt as the Nctcs ever allie ged the
Democratic managers to be and more
so. In its course now the Ne,cS is act
uated by no principle but the principle
of revenge. Its chagrlu and dlsap-
and direct the Democratic party
knows no bounds, and it is likely to
bound over INTO the Republican party.
May Joy 90 with it, and may the Re-
publican yoke fit it closely aud we'll

Baltimore's Birthday,

Baltimore City was one AundTel
and siXty-siX years old on Friday la'l
but no celebration was made. luz
town was incorporated on August SID
1929.
In connection with the location q
the site of Baltimore, says the HerQL
1t is interesting. to know that the cH
came near being placed on the soulli
side instead of the northwest SIDE y
the Patapsco River. That had 9eea
the idea of the founders, but JONI
Moale, who owned the southerly slt
uated tract Of land, had an idea lu'
it possessed a prodigious value on
count OF coal fields located there.
When he found that legislation vi
being sought to locate the city on
property he at once objected, and pc.
asmember of the Legislature hmsels
went to work and defeated the ueas.gsss
Had it not been for that BaltimoreSS%
might have been located vastly OH"
ent from what it now is.

BALTIMORE, MD, Aug. S, 1895
Hon. JOHN f. HURST,
Baltimore. Md.


Dear Su'-As the committee an
pointed by the recent Democratic
State Convention, We are charged with
the agreeable duty Of notifying you of
your nomination IL the candidate of
the Democratic party of Maryland, for
Governor of the State, and of present.
ing to YOU "a copy of the platform
adopted ny the convention.
The honor of being selected as the
one to lead our historic party to an
other victory in our State should be
the more priced Dy you from the fact
that 1t has been conferred upon YOU
without solicitation or effort on your
part To secure it, and is rendered YOU
solely because of the unquestioned pos
session OF all the qualities which fit
you for the intelligent, efficient and
independent discharge of the respon-
sible duties of the high Office of Gov
ernor Of Mary land.
1t Is "A great satisfaction to know
that even in the heat of criticism
which invariably follows the action Of
political conventions no suggestion is
made IN any quarter that you do not
measure up to the most eXacting stand
ard OF integrity and capacity, and that
all must concede that your unblemish-
ed reputation as a citizen and represent
talive merchant of Baltimore entitle
you to the confidence and esteem of all
your iellOw-citlzens of the State.
independent OF all factions, unfetter-
ed as your nomination is by any con-
dltions, you will have the opportunity
as well as the ability to administer the
duties of your Office with an eve single
to the permanent interest and the gen
eral welfare Of all the people of Mary
land.
Indeed, sir, we believe that such
considerations will commend your
candidacy TO the sober Judgment of our
citizens, and go far towards the crea-
ton of that harmonious cooperation
in our party in the coming contest
with the Republicans SO essential to
success.
Your record as consistent Demo.
crat, your full accord with the nation
al Democratic administration upon the
great political issues which divide the
country, invite the cheerful and un-
grudging approval and support of
every true Democrat.
The platform which we hand to YOU
for your consideration speaks for itself.
We feel that it is such one as COM
mends itself both to your head and
heart, and that you can with truth
and consistency approve of every SEN
tence it contains.
1t places the Democracy of the
State in line with the Democracy of
the Union upon the political issues on
which President Cleveland led us to
victory in 1892, and on which we hope
for as,signal triumph in 1896.

ALMOST to a unit the Democratic
press Of the state are hopeful of the
result of the election next November.
Those who misiudged Mr.. Hurst be-
fore they knew Of his position a. re-
CARDS the important ISSUES now at stake,
are like the rabble in one of Gold
smiths poems, "wao came to scott and
remained to pray some people, pro-
tessei Democrats, from their express
sions aud threats, seem to care about a.
much who win. the forthcoming cleo
ton a7 the most disinterested person
in the most remote cline The condi-
ton which cOnfrOnts the Democratic
party this fall demands courageous
treatment. They require united
party to uphold the true principles Of
Democracy, which, through the agency
OF the great hue and cry against party
leaders, are in danger Of being sacri-
feed 10y the very men who cry reform
ana seek to pose a. disciples Of the
"white-robed order" Any man who
fails to do his duty this fall to the
state and county nominees, may re-
greet bis rash act in moments of leisure.
Few realize the strong efforts that will
be made BY the other side to gain con-
troll Of the State, and once the way is
open to the hankering hordes, they
will not rest before the legislature is
used as means TO prevent their de-
thronement. Democrats had better
consider long aud often which party
policy is more consistent with the adj
vancement and well-being Of the peo-
pie of the State.

THERE are thousands of honest Dem
ocrat, who cau be influenced in polti-
cal matters by a fair and just argu-
ment. But why should true Demo-
crat be led away from his party and
give up the principles he has always
advocated to please some people who
are, to the surprise Of all, seeking to
turn the State over to the Republicans,
simply because they have some per-
sonal spite against a party leader. This
Is not true Democracy, and no true
Democrat should be influenced by
such unfair talk.

do as he pleased. The liberty
with which such man gets into
all affairs, and walks over the
world that otherwise might have
walked over him, Is one of the
paradoxtes of human life. Love
gets its way.
Men make war against the ap.
pearance of evil. but to be full of
purpose against the sources of evil
is the highest endeavor We make.
This takes US far back into the
souls country where God is sure
to reveal himself more plainly.
This takes us back to the springs
of life, and lets us kr ow whether
all our springs are in him. This
keeps prayer up to its highest to
pray steadily that God will grant
us to gradually meet the world in
II right spirit, which is the only
victory over the world in a right
spirit, which is the only victory
over the world. We have skir.
mished with outlying sins, but the
best warfare is against the main
