next speech was from Mr. Bernard Garter
of Baltimore city formerly of this coun-

them the wrongs they inflicted upon the
people of Maryland from 1861 to lSi.,
when that party was in power. He point
ed out the mistake that would be made in
turning over the State to the tender mcr-
ces of the Republicans, upon the plea of
reforming the democratic party as advised
by the Baltimore sun and its followers.
He made Il most telling speech andinsiSted
that the duty now before the people of the
State, was to keep its government IN the
hands of democracy. At this point the
meeting was adjourned to the Court room.

and standing room was occupied to listen
to the speeches of Senators Butler and
German. Here was scene never to be

touching his attitude in those trying days.
Here then was evidence from the lips OF
Senator who took part in the Legislation
about which he was speaking. Who is To

Ter gave the history of those times. being
one of the actors upon the floor Of the Sen

German did an immense service to the
people of the country in the course he pur

lively, and he was cheercd repeatedly and
especially when he referred to the com

existed between the different states of the
south. He addressed our people as if he
talked to his own, and in this he made no
mistake. We all feel grateful to him for
his coming, and he lcfo with most excel

The great speech of the day was from Sen
ator German. The persecution of him, in
dulycd by the sun, made him the centre of
interest. Our people were determined t.
show him that they had not lost faith, ncr
had they been miSlcad in their allie glance to

only two wears, when he was engaged in
the most partisan legislation in those days
