United States Senator Qorman today Issued an open letter to Hdvvln Abcll , publisher of the Baltimore Sun , In which he offers to relinquish the leadership of the democracy In Marland , provided Mr. Abcll will accept It and sup- pert the democratic tlckel tn Ihc coming state and legislative campaign. He also In timates that ho will forego his ambition to succeed himself In the Uiltcd States senate It It cio be thow n that such a step Is neces sary to democratic success The letter , which Is aery long one , reviews the course of the Sun In Its opposition to Mr Gor man , because of his views on civil service , tariff and ballot reform measures. To all the charges made against him upon this score , Mr. Gorman pleads guilty , but quotes tin- Sun aa having admitted that such ques tions were largely matters of opinion , and asserts thai every man Is free to think as he pleases regarding them. He defends his course in regard to all these questions , and concludes with the following proposition : OETS DOWN TO BUSINESS. "And now , Mr. Abcll , let us pass to a question touching which there can be no misunderstanding Ihoso statements and counter statements , arguments and retorts all this pett ) cUhh of proteslatlon and Im peachment amount to very little at the best. You have declared jour und ) Ing de votion to the democratic paity and have said that ni ) leadership , mj personal am bitions , my s"lflsh purposes and enl ) these , prevent jou from lestoilng your newspaper to the service of the loyal people who originally made It ilch and powerful b ) their ratronago , their confidence and their sup port.

"You may understand this as an overture ot surrender on my part as an admission that the democratic organization cannot hope for furlher life wllbout your aid and counte nance I am prepared for thai. I have been misunderstood by jou KO long and so un reasonably thai a little more or less will count for nothing. As a matter of fact , I am satisfied that the people of Maryland have become disgusted with the two ) ears of 10- publlcan maladministration which jou did so much to make possible and they are In a humor to matte an end of the cNperlment. Jt Is nol only what has been done , H Is the extravagance and the corruption which they sco awaiting them In the event of a perpet uation of republican rule. They feel that pvery substantial Interest In the state -la jeopardised and they are determined , wither or without you , to restore to power the dem ocratic p-uty , which has never hltheito be- trajed them and In whoso hands they will /eel their honor and their Interests to bo secure As to this I have not the shadow ot a doubt. But they want , also , a restora tion of the former harmon ) of the party. Ihey want to sec the old lines restored and , the old operations rehabilitated.

At all events I rejoice at tno opportunity which jour nomination oilers to take a stand against such humiliation. "This Issue of personal n le In party af fairs Is fundamental to the cause of popu lar government.

One of these tmeses had rotted away from Its fastenings ; It haa parted and thrown the two sections down , and they , In their descent , pulled the dome with them.
