Misstating the Issue.

There is no question TO Mr.. Hursts personal
worth and eminent respeetabilty - B'ihtiaofe S''i'
And there is no question with Democrats IS
10 the lack Of respeetability Of the San :
course in deliberately. knowingly and willinl-
IL misrepreseHsing the issue of The contest and
in mizrepresenting public sentiment. Il has
been denounced By public meeting of Dem
ocrats ia Annapolis, and that denuneiation
has found pretty hearty response from the
Democratic press Of the state and from Demo
Gratis generally. II pretends to favor a reas-
sessment Of the property Of the state. This is
a mere pfetenee. Its lsbors have all been
against a reassessment, and ii is still opposed,
and it is now endeavoring to raise false issue
ia order to defeat the Democratic party and
thus prevent the passage of an assessment law.
While speaking of Mr.. Hurst,s eminent re-
spec4ability. in commenting upon his letter OF
acceptance. the SIN reiterates that reassess-
ment is not the issue, but that Gormanism is,
and that Mr.. Hurst's high character cannot OBJ
scure il. The SIM knows this is not true, but
that is small matter with that journal if il
can succeed in downing the Democratic party
and continue to dodge its just proportion Of
raves

The New Tariff.
From the Philadelphia Record. August ..


The Wilson bill as it passed the House, in
| accordance with the remarkable theory that
the Democrats should impose no duties for
revenue which the Republicans had removed,
would have failed egregiously to meet the
wants of the public Treasury. When the bill
went TO the Senate it was found that there
were some crooked sticks in its Democratic
membership whose adjustment to any genuine
| measure of tariff reform would be attended
with great difficulty. To this task Senator
German. heartily seconded by great ma
iority of his Democratic colleagues in the
Senate. set himself with patience that never
wearied through many months of conflict.
TO his tenacity, perseverance and skill IN the
midst of discouragements that caused most of
his associates to despair was largely due to the
rescue of the Tariff bill from the extreme
peril in which it was placed and its presence
today on the statute book. In its final pass
age through the Senate the bill received the
steady support of every Democratic member
save Senator Hill alone who had developed,
with surprising suddenness, into the most I'M
compromising of free traders.
And now the tariff measure which encoun-
tered such furious and unmerited opposition
within as well as without the Democratic party
is not only tremendously supported by the en-
tire party but it is approved by the country
MahuIaCtuFerS, WoFklugnletl, iherchanls- con-
sumers-all are satisfied with its moderate
and iudieious provisions. 1t is true, as the
MARYLAND resolutions declare, it does not con-
tain all that the advanced advocates of Tariff
Reform had hoped for; but ii is, nevertheless,
the best tariff the country has had for thirty
FIVE years. In the important respect of free
raw materials ii is. in fact, the hest tariff the
country has ever had. The Record said Of it
when Il was running the gauntlet of the two
Houses Of Congress that il was better tariff
than better tariff would have been, mas.
much as it would put an end to partisan tariff
controversy. Within less than year from its
passage the bowls of its enemies have almost
died away. Such future amendments as the
people may require win lie made with little
partisan strife or friction. Those who call
the new tariff the German tariff pay the
Maryland Senator no small compliment. He
can wear the appellation with honor.

The Baltimore .S,a, a all its readers knox,
has been an uacompromising opponent Of
every proper assessment bill bronghi before
the Maryland legislature the pas SIX years.
Ii is still opposed TO proper and just assess
menf law, IN accordance with the conssitn-
tional requirement.. The Democratic party
has declared for new assessment. nominated
a candidate for Governor who will lend his
aid to secure it, and has recommended that
Democratic legislative candidates be pledged
hy the conventions that nominate them 10 vote
for a re-assessment law. This action Of the
Democratic state convention accounts for the
SIMS hostility to Mr.. Hurst. Its talk about
Gormanisn is a mere blind and humbuggery.

Mr.. Hurst's Acceptance.

The letter of Mr.. John T. Hurst accepting
the Democratic nomination for Governor was
made public on Wednesday and is published
in full in another column. tits characteristic
Of the man, plain frank and straightforward
He does not employ words to conceal his
throughts nor use them to deceive the people.
The nomination is accepted upon the plat
form adopted by the convention, and this he
regards as declarations of principle to be
adhered TO and carried into effect, and
10 be treated as bin ofexchange, when once
accepted, to be faithfully honored.
Upon the tariff and currency declarations
Mr.. Hurst saws they are exactly in accord
with his views. and that he stands squarely
upon the plank declaring for reassessment
Of all the property in the state. He frankly
states that he was opposed to re-assessment
in 1894, and with number Of gentlemen,
Democrats and Republicans, urged Governor
Brown to veto the reassessment act OF 1882.
The conditions of the past few years were
such that a reassessment would not have been
malicious and would ''have led to fresh mis-
chiefs. Mr. Hurst says, but these have
changed and there is no longer any reason for
postponement or good ground for denying
the people a revalnation Of property. The
AnvocArE very accurately represented Mr..
Hurst's views last week. in reply TO an inqui
nv. and does not regard il necessary td 60 over
the ground again, as Mr.. Hurst has spoken
for himself through his letter accepting the
nomination for Governor We ask close
reading for it, and when it is read, consider
ing the high character for honor and integrity
Of the man and his eminent capacity TO ably
fill the Office Of Governor, the Democrat that
strikes Mr.. Hurst's name from his ticket i'm
pairs his standing A. party man, to say the
least.
Mr.. Hurst says that he did not seek the
nomination; that he reluctantly consented TO
accept 1t At the earnest solicitation of basi-
ness and political friends: thar he cannot con
sent to have himself spoken Of or considered
a. the candidate Of any man. clique, wing,
faction or division Of the party. aud that If
elected he viii enter upon the discharge Of
the infies Of Governor under no committals
or obligations to any individuals whatever.
aud wholly free to DO what his conscience and
Judgment shall dictate IS best for the pnhlie
interest
The Democratic candidate comes before
the people fairly and honorahly nominated.
He stands for q new assessment Of ell the
property in the state. the one great issue Of
the day, and he Is wholly aatFammelled by
promises to any one. What Democrat eonld
ask more and the Democrat who j. not sat
fsiied after reading Mr.. Hura's letter j. not
much Interested in the success Of the party
and the triumph Of Democratic principles.
He Is not in favor Of party organization and
Of majority rule.
