CPrER MARLBORO, September /.
MIR EDIToR:-Thc standard of revolt
that has deem raised by the Baltimore sun,
and To whose following democrats are IN
vitcd, is unnatural. untimclv and without
any foundation in fact The real issue.
the vote cause rests in one single idea, the
defeat of Mr.. German. This l. the battle
cry. In the opinion of the sun. II i the
duty of the democratic voter IL record his
ballot against his party, in order that this
result may happen. 1t i even asserted
that he may do 50 with imrunity, and
without a surrender Of his party ALLEGIANCE
because there is no democratic state ticket
that may claim his support. This posi-
ton Is about as weak, if not weaker than
any vet assumed by that paper. 1t is need
less to remind the people OF the State, that
there was convention held in Baltimore
City. composed of of representatives
from every county. and Legislative dis
trct for the purpose OF making nomina-
tons for positions upon the State ticket.
1t is equally needless to remind the people
that there were no ContcStlng delegations
to that convention. although the primaries
had been the scenes of bitter contentious.
1t is equally Il well known fact that nomi-
nations were made in regular form, and
after party usage. With these facts what
there is no democratic ticket in the field:
But what became of the warfare made up
on what was termed the machine, and the
prediction that it would he routed, 80 free
" indul wcd in before the primaries: 1t Is
Il fact known of all men that such 4 fight
was made, and that it was started and
mainly supported by the sun, and it is al
so well known that it failed. Now this
being the case, with what proprictN can
that paper or those who followed il then.
and follow it now. come before the MASSES
and advise them. that though they failed
within the party lines to accomplish what
they undertook, that they can he ahSolvrd
from party faith, and the course of honor
able action, and join the republican col
umn to defeat the democratic cause, This
is the exact situation, this i all OF the pc
sition taken by these malcontcnts. But
all who think differently are spoken of as
office holders or office seekers. Even the
press of the State that take the opposite
view. are denominatcd a. Suhscrvlcnt to
Mr.. German. From the exalted standard
occupied by these cVangcilstS OF the pc"-
pie, they see ut 10 pronounce judgment
upon those who differ with them. The
real, and the one, supreme issue of the
campaign, is cloudcd by false argument
and obscurcd in the cndeavor to persuade
the people that they must rid themselves
of the hard yoke of Il hard task master
This is the unnatural feature of the posi-
ton. Our State has no reason to he
ashamed of her government under demo-
cratic rule, but her people have good rca-
son to recoi from the thought of placing
themselves under republican power. l.
there one single good or sufficient reason
why there shall be a change in admins
tration: Can one be given that would
weigh with Il candid and prciudiccd
mind: On the contrary how many there
are why this State should not be turned
DER to the republicans. The entire policy
Of our State government might be chang
ed, when we yield to the party Of boa>tcd
progress, the creator of trusts monopolic>
and combines, at the expense of the pco-
pie. Such talk is idle, when the induce
ment Is held out OLA lower rate of taxa
ton. The republican party is known for
Its extravaganza i'll both National and
State experience. 1t is the party OF high
taxes rs one of its cardinal doctrines is
high protection. But the democratic voter
is advised that he may do this violence to
his lifelong faith in order to get rid of0nc
man, and this man not Il candidate. and in
no sense Of the word before the people
Even if all were true that is urged against
Mr.. Gorman at what fearful cost to the
people would his downfall be brought
about, Let any democrat think of this.
let him take to himself the fact that he
must vote to sustain his party and its prin-
clplcs or aid in its defeat, and the case is
simple one for solution. We have
watched with fear the natural inroad> that
have been made upon our party by the old
time foe, and these we are always prcpar-
ed to meet. hut that the enemy seeks to
invade our own camp. and there raise re
cruits is something outside Of tn" old or
der of things. But this is the are OF sur
pri: cs and the democratic hosts are not to
ne caught in tins manner. There is but
one issue IN the campaign, and let Us strip
of all DISCUSSES, it Is at last democratic
victory or democratic defeat with all the
evils the act implies. Are the people pre-
pared for such calamity-;,rc they ready
to assist Ill 1t: These are the burning con
sidcration> Of the hour, whether they will
sacrifice their principles of :, life, for one
hours revenge. The State i dem Dcratic
and her people are too tI1lcto dIvc>t them
selves of their known LOYALTY upon such
t1imSy grounds. We have in the State a
democratic organization and Il democratic
ticket both State and county. 1t is the
duty of democrats to support ii. to do less
would be treason to their lifelong con
victionS and would be giving aid to Il par

people. II.
