The Maryland Methodists Are
Too Hard On Us Democrats.
EXERCISING our judgment, according to
the dictates of our wisdom, and with an
eye single to getting what we wanted, we
Democrats elected as one of our doorkeepers,
in the U. S. Senate, a man of the name of
Schoenewolf.
This man, Schoenewolf, had been a keeper
of a barroom.
lie had kept this barroom in the Red-light
district of Baltimore.
Ihe Maryland Methodists, in Conference
assembled, declare that Schoenewolf’s bar
room was a most disreputable saloon, located
at the corner of two streets'in “the centre of
the vice district of West Baltimore.'’
1 he indignant brethren denounce us Demo
crats in severe terms for selecting such a man
as Schoenewolf to lx* one of our Senate door
keepers.
The indignant brethren allude to the ex
barkeeper as “one Henry E. Schoenewolf,”
and allege that he is “a person of such unde
sirable reputation,” that his election to the
Senate door-keepership is virtually an action
against, “the respectable citizenship of Mary
land.”
Let us be (‘alm, and survey the facts.
Schoenewolf is described as an “ex-keeper.”
Therefore, he no longer keeps a saloon.
Should we Democrats, in the exercise of
our Christian charity, hold it against
Schoenewolf that he once kept a saloon?
I think not. The man quit that business
of his own accord; and instead of throwing
rocks at him. we should encourage him in his
aspirations toward higher and better things.
If we start in to kill off all the men who
once sold liquor, we will have big slaughter
METHODIST PROTESTANTS DE
NOUNCE APPOINTMENT OF
SCHOENEWOLF. WILL
SEND PROTEST TO
SMITH.
