The SUMS Defense.

The Baltimore SIM Of Wednesday occupied
over column in defending its course toward
the Democratic party in 1895 and 1896 and
again this year.
Ii asserts that it has always stood by the
Democratic faith, when every reader knows
that ii has time and again the last seven or
sight years announced that it was Independent
and held to no party, doctrine or creed.
II asserts that its opposition to Mr.. German
is not personal, but because of his recsrd
The SANS opposition began in 1890, few
months after Mr.. Germans successful fight
against the passage of the Force Bill. That
was Mr. Germans most Notable public effort
up to that time Was il because Mr.. German
defeated the Force Bill that the San started
its crusade?
1t was late in 1890 or ia the winter of 1897
that the San organized y movement within
the Democratic party, as it was declared, for
certain avowed purposes. There was no use
fer such an organization and it was SO severe
ly criticised by the Democratic press that 1t
died a-borniA' One of the chief figures IN
the movement was the hired attorney who
writes Ed. Abell's editorials. and the real
purpose was the defeat of Senator German.
In 1891 Senator German was nominated
for United States Senator by the convention
that nominated Hon. Frank Brown for Gov
ernor, and the San was against the Demo
cratic ticket that year, its editorial columns
being filed with innuendo and insinuations
against the Democratic party rather than
open attack.
So disreputable and deceitful WAS the Suns
course the Hon. Barnes Compton, Chairman
of the Democratic State Central Committee,
allnded to it in a speech calling the State
convention to order. Mr.. Compton did not
name the San, but the audience knew what
paper he meant and eheered him loudly.
The SIM itself was cognzant of its guilt and
the next day attempted defense.
The SIN made fatal blunder in calling
attention to its record Did space permit at
this time the ADVOCATE could FIJI column of
extracts from the SIN for the past eight years
showing its hostility to the Democratic party
and to Senator German personally. 1t 1t IS
useless for the SIN to say that its hostility to
DIR. German is not personal. twill convince
no one that it is not. no matter how much it
NAV disclaim it. And it is bent upon defeating
the Democratic party in order to make sure
Of Mr.. Gorman's political death.
But this is not the St0l's year. Its light
has gone ont II does not ''shins for all, >
but has become sIuice way for the spleen of

deceit, misrepresentation and falsehood.

Capt. Samuel T. Hamilton, retired United
States Army officer, has been elected Marshal
of Police of Baltimore. Hamilton is on the
retired list because of physical disabilities,
aud it is singular that such man should have
been selected 1t would seem that an able
bodied mau should have been selected. The
two Republican Police Commissioners have
been unable to agree upon Marshal for the
past three months, and the Democratic Com
missioner, in a sort eta pet over the delay voted
with one of the Republican Commissioners
for Hamilton and ended the matter. new

The Sentinel Indignant.

II * reported that one of the eandidates on the
Democratic ticket In this county is soliciting yotes
under promises to voters to have them summoned as
jurors Of the Circuit Court The high character OF
Judge Roberts precludes the presumption that he
can be party TO such adicker, and such promises
could not be carried into effect without his conniv
anee. The law, we are informed, pr0n1Dlts tne
placing Of voters name in the box from when
the drawing for jurors is made, If the recommends
ton is made without the judges request Hence
any voter who accepts such bride is to be cheated
in the end. 1t Is just as reprehensible TO seek 70
would be to offer him money for his ballot-SId-
mel October 2
The report is probably without foundation
and is only put forward because the Republi-
can party has no defense TO make of its in
competent and corrupt administration of af-
fairs in this state aud in Baltimore.
And just to think of the Sentinel talking
against bribery, when it is notorious that the
Clabaugh -Sharrer faction, with which the
Sentinel trains, carried the primaries against
Mr.. Brooks in Westminster district by the use
of money. Everybody knows, except per-
haps the pure(?) and innocent(?) Sentinel
that considerable majority Of the white Re-
publican voters of the district were favorable
TO Mr.. Brooks for Clerk of the Circuit Court.
and the bulk Of this vote, by the aid of cash,
was induced to support the CIabaugh -Sharrer
ticket for W. jesse Roberts. Even then Mr..
Brooks was only beaten by small majority.
And but for the use of money on the colored
vote in this district Mr.. Clabaugh's flag would
have been trailed in the dust in Carroll and
in the state. 1t is scarcely possible that the
Sentinel is not cognizant of these facts, and
vet it made no protest against this bribery,
and with satisfaction accepted the results oft.
1t is astonishing that the Sentinel, as the
Clabaugh- Sharrer organ in this county, should
have the effrontery to speak of bribery as
..reprehensibe, when the Ciabaugh-Sharrer
faction has largely depended upon money for
success in every primary contest it has en-
gagged in.
Bribery is 'reprehensible'' but it is not be-
coming in the Clabaugh -Sharrer organ to be
saving 50. When it does it simply calls up
the performances of its faction of the Repub-
hcan partv

The New Assessment.

Under the above caption, on the first page
of this issue, the Democratic Editors Asse-
citation points out the fact that real property
still bears the bulk of the public burden and
wealth still escapes its just proportion.
Some doubts Of the constitutionality of GER
tain parts Of the law are noted, and reference
is made as to HOY the law has been variously
construed and assessments made.
The injustice Of the Scaling System in
the main law is pointed ont, and then the ar
tiels shows how that provision was repealed
and another injustice substituted by one of the
supplemental acts.
In every county in the state there is much
complaint of the operations of the law. The
assessments are high, the tax rates are high
and wealth is not taxed at all or at a lower
rate than real property.
Under the operations of the law stocks,
bonds and securities that were taxed in the
cities and towns of the state under the old
law are exempt, and consequently real prop
erty will have to bear heavier tax rate for
municipal purposes.
Many instances could be cited from local
papers of how unjust the new assessment law
is, but the following from the Chestertown
Transcript will suffice
The appearance of the tax -gatheRer last week was
the signal for generous outburst of righteous IN
dignation on the part of q vast number of tax-pay
srs of Kent The monstrous humbuggery of what
Is known as ''reassessment' became more pract-
cally impressed upon the people that ever before
some were outspOken in their denunciation while
others entered eternal protest against the party
responsible for this abortion of reassessment law
In Rock Hall, on Friday, the glaring inequalities
Of the law was pronounced an outrage upon COM
mon sense and the common rights of the people
In some cases the taxes of n number of honest
Woodworking people have been nearly doubled,
and that, too in the face of decided decreases in
the market value of the property taxed In several
cases which have come under the personal Know l.
edge of the writer. wdowsa and orphans who by the
stTfctest economy have been able to keep the tax
bill and expense account from eating up the little
home are confronted by this increased tax and
possibly the "dueipr0cess of the law in its collee-
fion which means that this reasseSSment moth IS
to destroy the property upon which II is levied
The reassessment in Kent county today is monu-
mant of inequality injustice and shame to the Re-
publican party 1t is robbery in the name OF the
law, and the outraged people should resent the
outrageous wrong.

it inexpedient to nominate candidate for
