A GOOD SIGN OF DEMOCRATIC
SUGGESTIVE sun IS CRYING
FRAUD And QUOTING SCRIP
TURE.
The Baltimore San is already begin
ming to hedge and it is now crying
fraud" and even garbling scripture
to prove it, and to show how bad the
Democratic supervisors and registra-
ton officers are, and every thing that
is Democratic, and it even pitches into
the Hurst Democratic Business Mems
Association" and actually charges
that honorable body with being aces
series to fraud, simply because they
do not come out and join the Sun in
its foolish hue and cry against the
character and reputation of honorable
men and officials. 1t is really pitiful
to see from what lofty height this
once valued paper has now descended,
to wallow in the mire and filth of per-
sonal abuse and Islander, and to stab
to its death the very party that gave
it support and nourishment through
all these years that are gone, and for
what? Simply to crafty its spite
against one or two men, and because
it was not consulted in framing the
ticket at the July convention in Balti-
more.
Well says writer in the MOrniRg
Herald, THE Sunpaper has out-her
oded Herod the Great in brutal, vim
dictive calumny of a great party and
it's grand leaders. But Democracy
will survive it, and behold it dying of
vermin, as Herod died. The tide has
set in, and now were that paper to
give the names of the families who
have ceased to subscribe for it, and
will cease to advertise in it, its col
umns could not hold them, though
printed in minion. 1t will see 6 p M.
November 5th, where it belongs, with
weeping and gnashing of teeth" 1t
will see the Democracy of Maryland,
which means the virtue and intelli
gence of the State, holding the reins
of government with a grip rendered
only the firmer, by the Sunpaper's
mendacious editorials"
But the funny part of our esteemed
luminary's attempt to quote scripture
in behalf of its Lay Sermon on the
Times" TO show what big rascals these
Democrats are, is that it left out the
most salient points of the text, and
then violently wrenched it from its ma
it condemns slanderers and mischief
makers of the SUMS stripe. When
that paper quoted what it did from
the 50th Psalm, about "Consenting
With thieves" &c, which it outrag-
eously garbled to apply to the election
supervisors and other officials, why
didn't it go further and quote the
connecting verses, about what it said
there of those who DETAINED and Will
fed the characters of men who stood
as high in the community as their
accusers could ever hope or dare to
do. 1t was afraid to do it because it
didn't suit its purpose, and would
strike too near home and charge it
with violating the 9th Commandment,
"Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor." The connec-
tional part, however, which the Sun
suppressed is as follows: Thou
givest thy mouth to evil and thy
tongue frameth deceit. Thou sittest
and speakest against thy brother;
thou slanderest thine own mothers's
son."
But we know that the Sun is good
at suppressing the truth, especially
good Democratic truth, as the present
campaign has so gIaringly demonstrat-
ed, but then to do otherwise would
dishearten its Republican allies, and
take the "wind out of their sails"

Remember that the main issue is
not German or the Sun, Hurst or
Lowndes, but Democratic or Republi-
can supremacy in Maryland.
