of de-| famation has been busy with my reputation. Party spirit un- | fortunately rages in so great a
degree in this Town, that it is | a matter of course that every Candidate for public favour, who
does | not receive his nomination from the Insurance-Office, whatever | his pretentions may be,
must be opposed...... [signed] Samuel Sterett. | Baltimore, December 31, 1788. [Baltimore: Printed

Sterett says that the Insurance Office is a powerful force in politics and influences the people at times in an improper
manner. He mentions an electioneering publication, signed by Gough, M'Henry, Smith, Keeports, T. Smith and Merryman,
which attacked him. He also states: "The attempt to impose on free independent Electors, by printed forms of Tickets, is
justly resented by many."
