GOV.LOWNDES.
A Picture by Rayner and
a Characterization by
Wellington.

In the indictment of the
Republican Party" it was said
We charge, and we will
prove. that Gov. Lowndes has
usually acted contrary to his
public utterances.
1t has already been proven
that Gov. Lowndes, after de

said in an interview published
in the Baltimore Sun of MAY
-. 1889
Il believe that it is of the
highest Importance that poll
ties should be eliminated from
the practical management OF
the public school system.
The only non-partisan act the
Governor has ever done in the
matter of public education
was to vote to retain the
present able and competent
principal of the State Norma
School. For this act he claims
great credit. but he never knew
perhaps. that the Democrats
kept Prof. Newell. a Republi-
can. i'm the same position foi
about twenty years. The fact
was not heraled abroad. for the
Democrats did not use the pub
lie school system for political
ends. like Gov. Lowndes and
the Republican party is doing

He was scarcely warm IN the
Executive Mansion before he
began dealing ont offices Ia

enable Mudd To geC Il nomlna-
ton for Congress.
In no instance can it bc
shown that the Governors
practice has harmoniZed with
his public utterance. II is in
conceivable how he can have
she effrontery. with his record
altogether to the contrary. to
go into print and say that pub
lie office should be used solely
for the public good and not rs
rewards for partisanShip; that
the judiciary should be taken
out of politics. and that politics
should be eliminated from the
practical management of the
public school system.
Gov. Lowndes is AN extreme
partisan, and he has shown it
in every act since he was in
augurated His published views
to the contrary are only intend
ed To deceive and draw atten-
ton away from his record.
Hon. lsador Rayner. in his
speech at Frederick. on Sep
TENDER 81, drew Il very good
picture of the Governor as Il
purist in politics. He said
He tGov LowndeSl i rs Shrcwd aud

form. so that he can flirt gracefully

The plain meaning of what
Mr.. Rayner said is that the
Governor word cannot be de-
pended upon in politics. and 1t
is a fact that most of the Re
publicans leaders place no con
fidence in him. Neither Nal
ster. Wellington nor Mudd trust
him. Wellington. who knows
him better than the rest, says
he is untruthful. In a letter to
the Governor, on September -.
in answer to one asking him 10

Wellington used this language;

NESS aud TRUTH
Such is the character of the
man whom the people elected
to the high Office of Governor
of Maryland. His talk on the
stump and through the press in
1895 and ever since about
political reform. non-partisan
schools. non-partisan Judi
ciary. civil service reform. &c.
was cant and rank hypocrisy
1t remains to be seen whether
the people have fully realized
his true character and Will bury
him with their ballots on No
