Senator Silver Banks Up the Wrong

The attention OF the editor OF the
StateSman-Dem has been called sew
eral times TO the fact that the Hon. Gray
Silver insists that we are the author Of
the letters which have been written to the
Shepherdstown Register upon his pre-
sentiment to the grand jury at the last
term OF the circuit court in this county on
the charge OF poisoning dogs. Owing to
the strained relations existing between
the gentleman and ourselves we RETAINED
from saying anything on the subject ofthe
preSentment at the time, because we
knew that no matter how fairly or mildly
we might treat the matter he would dis
tort our remarks and ascribe whatever we
said to malice. So we kept out OF the
diSagreeable mess, but it seems that he is
determined to get us in. Mr.. Silver has
known us since he was boy but we are
sorry he does not know us well enough
to know that we never resort to such low
and contemplate traits as to attack any
man through an anonymous letter. 1t is
not the first time he has charged us with
writing such cowardly stuff, and his ex-
perience in the former instance ought to
have convinced him that it was not wise
TO do so again. In all our relations with
Mr.. Silver we have always told him just
what we had TO say to his face, and we
beg to assure him that we shall ever con-
tinue to do so. We advise him to let the
dog poisoning matter rest and stop STIR
ring it up, or if he is so bent on chewing
il over LET him demand that the prescott
ting attorney publish the evidence which
he has publicly told Mr. Silver he was
ready to publish if he would request it.
For the satisfaction OF Mr.. Silver we as
sure him that we never in our life have
written line to the Shepherdstown Reg
iSter, that we know nothing of any COM
munication having been written from here
until the paper arrived at our office, and
do not know today who wrote the CON-
munication. - MartnS6urg Statesman
Democrat
We wish to corroborate Mr.. Boyer'S
statement above made. He has never
sent us line on this subject, directly or
indirectly. Senator Silver would proba-
bly, be surprised if he knew who has
been sending communications and infor-
nation to the Register, and he would
doubtless be very thankful if he knew of
the things that we have suppressed be-
cause we do not wish to do him any in
justice. The Register thinks that the
Senator was wrong in helping to kill the
proposition by which the people would
have had chance to vote upon great
moral question, and we oppose him for
this public action. Beyond this we have
no animus against him and certainly no
personal animoSity.

1T is now pretty generally conceded
that the saloon-keepers and the liquor
interests of Maryland defeated the fran
chiSe amendment last week. While a
great majority OF the white voters believe
that there should be restriction of the
franchise, the saloon-keepers want as
large vote as possible from the ignorant
and depraved, for they know that they
can easily control these They worked
indefatigably for the defeat of the amend
ment last week. trading off both political
parties for votes against it.
The combination of evil and ignorance
seems at present to be impregnable, but
il cannot stand. The very success of the
saloon element last week will be its un-
doing, for decent people must continue
the fight against this curse until they win.
What pity that more of the newspapers
of the country do not fight for the right

WE agree with distinguished Demo-
crat who recently declared that the out
rageous tariff law recently enacted by
Congress is enough TO sweep the Repub-
lican party out OF power when properly
understood by the people to learn OF its
iniguities ? Practically the entire daily
press OF the county is controlled by the
corporate interests that are the beneficial
ries OF a robber tariff, and the great news
papers are tightly muzzled on this sub
iect. The country papers are faithful,
but their influence is too limited.
Besides this most men are so partisan
that they don't want the truth.
