tiSau Wow the present Maryland CAM
pslgu is one Of intense public interest.
THERE'S moral element involved not
less important than tho fight against
Tammany in New YORK. There ia no
more thoroughly bosa ridden organiza'
ton in the country than the Demo-
cratic party of Maryland, especially in
the city OF Baltimore, where Senator
German, by the aid Of corrupt practices
that are stencil in tho nOsIrils Of clean
people, holds the honest reform sentI-
ment Of the state at deiinauce,
Such prominet citizens aud Demo-
Gratis as Charles ]. BonaparIe, William
Ksyusr ana Charles Marshall have led
a hopeless fght against him for years,
and are again at the head Of the reform
column this year. They are powerfully
reinforced by tho Baltimore SUI, by tho
Beform League, the Good Government
Club, and other desirable influences, aud
vet it is again perhaps a losing fight
this year, so entrenched is German in
''ths cohesive power OF public plunder."
From the President OF the United
States down to the humblest walks OF
priyate life there is desire among
honest Democrats to see this unScrupul-
ous boss defeated and the purity Of the
ballot box asserted aud vindicated. He
IL "the old man Of the sea- around the
neck Of the body polite of Maryland,
and 60 remorseleI5 is his grip that there
is scarcely an even chance to shake
him of.
There was great uprising meeting
Of buSiness men in BaltimOrslast Friday
night, at which William KeyIer, vol
known here in Wheeling, among others,
made a strong aud excellent address, in
the course OF which he referred 10 the
fact that responsible citizen had
openly accused Senator Gormau Of hay'
ing been directly engaged in ballot box
Stutipg in Howard county and had OIL
Tered to place a suitable sum in escrow
in cSso he desired to enter a suit for
slander. This citizen had publicly
challenged Senator German to test the
truth Of the charge in tho courts Of the
state, and ne had not dared toRccopt tho
challenge.
Mr.. Ksyser further referred to de.
tailed Statement. that had been made by
one Of Gorman's former allies aud tools
Of tho modus operandi by which they
had perpeIratsd the most astounding
and unblushiuG frauds on the elective
franchise.
and yet. with all this weight Of in.
husnce against him in this campaign, /!
lie scarcely an even chance that German
and his corrupt gang Of petty bosses in
Baltimore eau bs defeated at the com.
ing election. Tho situation is such that
itmovol some ono in the Baltimore Sun
to write an earnest appeal to tho voters
oi"Maryland, My Maryland to rise in
theft manhood aud overthrow tho
tyraut bols, ono verso Of which, in the
rythm Of the old war song, Is as follows:
Tho Boss heel l. on thy soil.
Maryland MY MarIlandl
lie would thy liberties desuOl,
Maryland Ny MErylandl
He come, 10 rob thy son Who toll
About thy neck he ohaln n coil.
Mud captive lead. liacni' rgCoil'
Maryland Ny Maryland!
It iI to DO hoped that Maryland will
heed this appeal for tho sake Of her
good name throuphou. the country and
for the sake also oil tho highest material
interests Of her own people. President
Cleveland, it's said, Sympathizos deeply
with this appeal. Well Ito might
Some years ago he refused to pardon a
scoundrGl for ballot bog frauds, and In
his letter oil refusal made tho following
memorable romark:
