Attorney General Declares In

special to The Washington Herald.
Baltimore, nd. May S-Attorney Gen
eral Charles J. Bonaparte pitched into the
Democratic .ring" at the Republican
mass meeting at the Lyric tonight. He
said;
'If any person believes the ring which
trlumphed when j.. Barry Mahooi was
nominated for mayor ista group Of men
differing for the better from those who
stole tho city in 1870 and 1885, and who
tried to steal 1t in 1885. from those to
blame Tor all the abuses and scandals OF
our city government during the twenty
years Of their power. that person must
be yerdant green himself. and. for my
part, 1 don't know him. The day after
the primaries a Democratic paper pub
lished the satisfaction with which Mr.
John J. Mahon had heard the news add
ing. I believe. with perfect truth, that
Afr. Mahons hard work had done much
10 insure the glorious outcome.
Furnishes sinevys of War.
"Ex-Gov. Browa likewise congratulated
himself and with good reason, on his
share IN the defeat of Candidate 'Stovey'
Brown and of Candidate J. Charles Linthi-
cum, and, so far as know. no one ques-
tions that he furnished, personally or as
agent, the sinews of war for that great
achievement.
'' Frank raised the money. and
Sonny did the job. If that combination
looks 20 any Baltimorean like reform or
good government or a business admins
ist-ation or anything else than ring rule.
that hopeful felow-citizen of ours must
be politically color blind.
Refers to Corporations.
''The ex-governor informed Candidate
'Stoyey' Brown. in substance. that the
corporations wouldn't hear of him. To
what corporations. or rather to what one
particular corporation. did their spokes-
man a!iude? Think for a moment, fellow
citizens. what public service corporation
most of an others has an urgent, a vital
interest In the control of our city govern
ment Think, further, with what corpora
tion Of that character ex-Gov. Brown has
been identified by public mention and ac-
credited rumor.
IF you are yet in doubt. look over the
list Of Democratic candidates for the city
council and inform yourself as TO the
present employment OF each one of them,
and nlally say whether speakers ana elec-
tors who claim 70 be independent of the
king and his clients. but who pass by
these things ia q conspiracy of silence, do
their fun their honest duty by the COM
munity'
