SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
Outcome of Politics i'm Montgomery
County.

Correspondence of The Evening Star
ROCKVILLE, Nd, March 4, 1896.
suit was filed here today in the circuit
court which will be watched with interest
by all persons who are familiar with Mary
land politics. 1t is an action for $4,000 dam
ages for libel and is brought by j. Vance
Lewis of Takoma Park against Allan Ruth
erford, a claim agent, who has an office i'm
Washington and lives at Gaithersburg this
county. Mr.. Lewis was an applicant for an
pointment as land commissioner OF Mary
land under Gov. Lowndes. and was sup
posed to have an excellent chance for the
place, as 1t was held by a Montgomery
county democrat, and Lewis was strongly
backed. The alleged libel grows out of a
letter which Rutherford wrote to Gov.
lowndes February Is, 1896, in which the
following language occurs: MIR. Lewis is
UNITED, both by lack of character and abil-
ity, to fill such place as he seeks; he was a
clerk in the Department of the Interior at
Washington, and lost his place during Pres
ident Harrisons administration, and made
an effort TO get reappointment, but failed
We hear that it is claimed his present impe-
cunioUs condition is owing to his having ex-
pended his time and means for the interests
of the republican party. This is absolutely
untrue, as 1T is well-known fact that he
has lived off the money expended in our
county for political purposes for several
years past and that he has never contributed
one cent of his own money to the cause
all his expenses during our canvass for
years past having been paid by contribu-
lions from others In fact, he is hanger
on of politics and no more serious injury
could be done our party in this county Than
his appointment to any prominent position"
These charges are alleged in the plaintiffs
declaration to be both false and malicious
The letter purports to be signed by Ruth
erford For the delegation being delega-
ton consisting of himself and two others,
had q he
before. A peculiar feature of the case is that
Lewis and Rutherford were supposed to be
political and personal friends, the latter
having been particularly enthusiastic in en-
deavoring to secure Mr.. Lewis nomination
as the republican candidate for circuit judge
last fall. 1t is stated that another suit for
damages is to be filed against Rutherford
and two others, who signed another similar
letter to the governor. The plaintiff is repre-
scented by Messrs. Miller and Gould and H.
Maurice Talbot.
