A DESERVED TRIBUTE TO MR..
MASTER.

.
more, the following deserved tribute to
I Hon William T. NIalster by A. Worth
Spates, Esq, of Baltimore, well-known in
this county, as the last Republican candi-
date for Congress against Isidor Rayner in
Baltimore city. Mr.. Spates is one of the
speakers of the National Republican Com
mittee, having spoken throughout the
United States in behalf of Republicanism.
He has also acted as Governor of Wyoming
Territory; is one of the younger Republi-
cans of his native State of Maryland, and is
ernor as the man whom the Republicans
can most likely elect
A delegation from the Central Republ-
can Club, of the Twenty Valid,
visited meeting of the Columbian Club at
their headquarters opposite the Academy of
| Music, on Tuesday evening last and re-
/ luested portrait of Mr.. VIM. T. Master
| to adoin the walls of their club house.
The principal address of the evening was
delivered by Hon. 4. Worth Spates:
"The Columbian Club ever ready to
welcome any Republican who seeks its
hospitality, is especially glad to welcome
you tonight, coming, as you do upon
mission assuring us of your aid and CO.
operation in our efforts to nominate as the
next Republican candidate for Governor one
who can be elected, and whose success
would break the shackles of Maryland and
enable it to bloom and blossom like the
rose. We greet you as representatives of
that great cause, whose matchlesS leaders,
soldiers and statemen marked their names
so deep upon the sands of time that all
oceans voters would not wash them out
\ cause as sacred as that for which any ever
persisted upon block or scaffold, the cause
of God and native land. One of its best
representatives is he whose portrait you seek
who not having entranced listening senates
with his eoquence or flashed the glittering
blade amidst the smoke of war, yet as a
typical citizen, Baltimorean and IA Mary
lander, represents triumvirate of virtues
greater than ever the Boast of HeIaldry
or Pomp of Power" A great commoner,
he is the highest type of the republic, hav-
ing risen, as many other great Americans,
from humblest life to his present position.
Unused to the wileS of the politician and
arts of the POLITICAL schemer, he represents
the plain people who expect to make him
the next Governor of Maryland.
"We think this great metropolis of the
South, standing like a giant at the head of
the Chesapeake, should have the next
nomination for Governor. Here where
the battle is to be fought, here where our
population is found here where capital
abounds, here in this great home of trade
and cradle of commerce, and we offer as
candidate one connected with all these
elements of the grandeur of our peerless
city OF monuments, and representative of
a great industry that once carried the
name of Baltimore throughout the habit
able globe, but which languished until it
became as the 'baseless fabric of vision
the inspiration of the former bare footed
pillow hoy of Cecil has been renewed with
life, and produces the splendid messengers
OF the deep that disturb the quietude of
distant waters, A toiler himself his heart
has ever throbbed in unison with him who
responsive to the great creator, earns his
bread by the sweat of his brow. An
employer of labor it has never rebeled
against him, but on the contrary it stands
to day pleading trumpet tongued for his
cause. An active Republican and our
candidate for Mayor two years ago. yet he
has no public record to apologize for or
explain. Connected with no faction he is
under the domination of no boss INDIE
pendent in all things liberal in the extreme
and utterly devoid of ostentation Or dis
play he is the peoples champion, in whom
it can be truly said the elements are so
mixed, that nature might stand up and
say to all the world, This is man..
Such is plain unvarnished tale of VIM. T.
Master, whom the people are demanding
shall be our standard bearer in the great
contest to be waged by them next fall. OF
him we can say, as did the great Napolean
on the morn of one of his battles, when
calling his generals about him and point
ing to the rising run: "Behold the sun of
victory"
"Then take his portrait and place it
with your collection of portraits of dis
tinguished Americans, several of whom
have crossed the mysterious river, across
whose dark and dreary waters no wanderer
ever returns, but who, looking DER the
