Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1895-09-14
TOLD YOU so,

say that all was not as serene in the
Republican ranks as the Baltimore
SUB and other Republican newspapers
have tried TO pretend oh, no, the
Republican ticket was not influenced
by bosses !" No indeed. just as pure
and undefiled as born angel
As white as snow. As innocent of
wrong as the lilly which blooms in the
field. Oh, its daisy BY the way,
have you read the news from Wicomi-
coz Have You read about how Master
carried the Republican primaries and
how the county was forced into line
for boss Iowndes? You will find a
truthful statement Of il in our news
columns. You will there read the
condemnation by Republicans of the
Republican candidate for Comptroller
because he roughed the county conven.
ton, because he is opposed TO the free
school system, because he said the Re.
publican party was unfit for his sup
port. Why did not the Baltimore
Sun OF Wednesday print the Resolu-
tions Of these revolving Republicans
in full? Simply and solely because it
is an unfair newspaper and it would
endeavor to make the affair appear as
insignificant as possible. Because ii
is not in accord with the policy of the
paper to attack or allow to he attack
ed the Republican State ticket. If
such thing had happened in connec-
ton with any nominee Of the Demo.
cratic Ticket the SIN would have nut
the item at the top of column, with a
scare head" and then the matter"
would have been loaded and double
loaded. Where are the noble men of
Dorchester ? Why don't the SIN
come out in double loaded type and
say that they are doing their duty as
Democrats and are enthusiastically
supporting the Democratic ticket d?
Where are the "brave men of Kent 2"
Why don't the SIM come out and say
they are in the front ranks of Democ-
racy fighting for Hurst, Smith and
Crothers Because it is not the policy
ola Republican newspaper to do so.
Yet, when the Cleveland Democracy
of Dorchester voted for Fisher at the
State Convention they were the Noble
men of Dorchester" But we have not
heard anything more through the Sun
about the noble men of Dorchester
since the day after the convention.
Why? Because the mobile men of
Dorchester" to a man are fighting in
the ranks of the Democratic party for
Hurst. Smith and Crothers. They rec
ognized they were in a Democratic
convention composed of Democrats
from the various counties in the State
and that the convention voted for
Mr.. Hurst and he was nominated.
That is the way Dorchester men fight
at home and they will sustain their
principles. They know, and We who
were there know, that every effort pos
sible was made to form combination
to nominate Fisher but il could not be
worked. Fisher had two rooms, one
well filled with his admirers and the
other well filled with whiskey, but the
delegates could not be stampeeded.
What of poor Tom Hayes? Why was
he not nominated Because, in the
utmost sincerity, he was defeated by
the Baltimore San. II brought every
possible argument to bear against him,
until it finally labeled him as a candi.
date which Baltimore City was oppos-
ed to; therefore Tom Hayes had to be
turned down. He was also accused Of
being Germans candidate, as was
Spencer Jones and John Walter Smith.
So, to John T.. Hurst went the nomi-
nation. A man of independent char
acter-no mans man, and we want to
add right here that the wisdom Of his
nomination grows more apparent every
day. He will keep on gaining until
election day when he will be elected
by such a majority as to silence for
ever the claims Of the Republicans to
rule Maryland. The Baltimore Sun
knows these facts of Mr.. Hurst's nomi.
nation as well as we do and it also
knows the facts concerning the fraud
perpetrated to secure the nomination
Of Lowndes; but it is so blinded with
malice toward German that il would
sink the whole Democratic party into
oblivion il il could. But il will not
accomplish its devilish ends this year.
