BE NOT DECEIVED.
Good Results of Our Democratic
Tariff Bill-Bad Time TO Swap
Leaders.

Inc Democrats OF Maryland can wei
be congratulated in having for their
standard-t carer, man in the coming
election that answers to the test of
Thomas Jefferson, the test of honesty,
capacity and loyalty to the popular
will and interest of the people. Aud
Mr.. Hurst being the champion select
ed by the Democratic Convention to
bear aloft this standard, awaits the
coming dawn of the 5th of November.
There are times when men make as
sertions which they do not really mean.
AS to the cry of bossism, and the one
man power, this is only an absurdity
that is too ridiculous to speak of. There
can tie no organization or party that
will amount to anything without a
successful leader. There must he
head to guide the ship OF state, so there
must be III every district and county.
1t is so in every business that is sue
cessfully conducted, iron the farmer
to the merchant, and in every thing
else that requires successful triumph.
So Democrats, don't be humbugged by
this everlasting cry Of bossism aud ring
rule from disappointed Democrats,
who, because they are out of power, are
now willing to join the Republican
ranks. The enemies of the Democratic
party having drawn the line of combat,
and the Baltimore Sun, with consum-
mate insincerity, being the spokes-
man, rs well as the originator, is try
ing to foresIall aud pervert public SEN
timent by Misrepresentation, abuse and
Islander, in SOWING the seeds of discon-
tent and going over to the Republican
party, using every means to defeat the
regular nominee by urging all Demo-
Gratis to vote for Mr.. Lowndes, has eX-
cited more interminable disgust than
has ever existed in the ranks of our
party. The Sun paper, to widen the
breach in defaming character, has in
vited all corners to join In the persecu-
tion-and | ask for what-the Sun saws
MIR. Hurst possesses all the requisites
in character and ability and would
shed lustre upon the City of Baltimore
and Tie whole State But then, SAYS
the San, he is the nominee If Air
German, and Mr.. German belongs TO
the ring and he is the boss. And
whilst Ills state Of things continue,
We can't gel anything from the Demo-
cratic crib. We are all very hungry
and they won't let us in, therefore we
intend TO smash up things by urging
all Democrats 10 vote for Mr.. Lowndes
and turn the State over To the Repub-
lican column. Why the ineXorable
Brutus when he plunged his dagger
TO the heart of Ceaser, never acted
traitor better than did these screamers,
who are trying 10 defeat the party and
give thee State to the Republicans.
Then comes Pihkney Whyte at the bu-
gle call of the Sun, to join In the cru
SADIE. he draws his lance and in gall
liant style moves TO the contest. Hear
him as he calls GU all good Democrats
to act promptly or the city and State
will be disgraced. 1t would be well
for the gentleman to go back to the
time when he was a candidate for the
same office, and the blush of shame
should tinge bis cheek, because there
was as much corruption practiced
through the ballot box then as now.
But then the saddle fitted the horse
and he rode him magnificently. Then
comes some of our preachers and they
nave caught the contagion of misrule
ana uad management, and undertake
10 1asten reproach upon the proud
Clty OF Baltimore, city noted for its
morality, and far in advance of any
other city on which the sun looks down,
ana yet one of them through the San
tells us, that it needs two hundred of
the best citizens to take control of its
municipal affairs, thus putting blot
upon the sanctity of the pulpit, and
caused its entrance to be darkened by
. shadow and tossed by a tempest.
No order governs, and the poisoned
seed deposited in the pulpit will ripen
into discomfort after the 5th of Novem-
Der. Better for preachers everywhere
to hold up the cross as the central orb,
around which truth and every inter-
est belonging to man glitters as the
brightest jewel in the crown of preach
ing. Democrats, | ask you to reflect;
the issue is simply kepublicanism or
true Democracy. Why should any
Democrat desert his party when all adj
init, both friend and foe, that Mr..
Hurst is equal to become the peer
OF any who has filled the chair of
State. And because the Sun, with its
brigade Of dissatisfied followers, don't
like Mr.. German, they want you to
aid them TO defeat the ticket. Is not
this the most unheard of nonsense,
that ever gave birth to thought? The
Sun paper with a personal animosity
has stormed at with shot and shell. it
has volleyed and Numbered against
that great and distinguished leader.
yet he moves on amid his foes like one
OF Frances great marshals, who never
faltered before a human foe, whilst
looking to the advancement of all the
people Of all the States. Hear him on
October the 18th. Senator German liz
speech said, that he stood by every
tier of the record he had made in the
interest OF the people and would not
change a word, and would not apollo
glze Tor IT for any place on either side
OF the ocean. This has the proper
ring about 1t, the ring of gold. 1t
shows the sincerity of the great leader
OF the Democratic party. Like Henry
Clay, that great statesman, when he
uttered words that will live whilst
memory lasts, ''that he would rather
be right than to be President And
yet great as he was. the tongue Of SLAM
der and abuse followed him on every
path until they raised the cry of bar
gain and corruption, and that poisoned
dart had its effect in infiicting wound
on that noble eagle, and whilst soaring
aloft he fell at the base of the Ameri-
can citadel, giving his life to protect
his country and bis flag. The same
feeling of hate and revenge TODAY CIR.
