senator German Wrote a Letter.

United States Senator German last
Saturday issued an open letter to Ed
win F. Abel, publisher OF the Balti-
more Sun, in which he offered to re-
linquish the leadership of the Democ.
racy in Maryland, provided Mr.. Abel
would accept it and support the Dem
ocratic ticket in the coming State and
legislative campaign. He also init
mated that he would forego his ambi-
ton to succeed himself in the United
States Senate if it could be shown that
such step is necessary to Democrat
ic success. The letter, which is a very
long one, reviews the course of the
Sun in its opposition to Mr.. German
because OF his views upon civil service,
tariff and ballot reform measures.
To all the charges made against
him upon this score, Mr.. German
pleads guilty, but quotes the Sun as
having admitted that such questions
were largely matters OF opinion. and
asserts that every man is free to think
as he pleases regarding them. He
defended his course in regard to all
these questions.
Mr.. Abel replied in lengthy ed
itorial, calling attention to the fact
that Mr.. German had dictated the
platform and nominations, and sug-
gested that'he did not feel like walk
ing into Mr.. Germans parlor after
the manner of the fable of 1.-The Spider
and the Fly"
The fair presumption is that Mr..
German will not write another letter
for few days at least.
