The YVhig Central Committee
of the state Of Md. 10 the
Wings Ofthc United states.

Fellow CITIZENS The State of Mary
land has opened the political campaign of
1874 by a victory so signal, so conclusive,
as to warrant the State Central Committee
in making it the subject of special address
to their Wing brethren throughout the
Union. The Election by Districts for six
members to represent the State in the lower
House of Congress took place OF Wednes-
day, the 18th instant, and we have now pos
tive intelligence of the choice Of the nOmi-
mated Wing candidate IN eUery District
Maryland thus presents an undivided front.
Her representation in the Senate is entirely
Wing. At the election in October she
chose a large majority of Wing members of
the House of Delegates. All these results
are deemed by the undersigned, and, they
may add, are conceded by their political
opponents, to be conclusive as to what the
vote of the State will be at the Presidential
Election in November next.
All the gentlemen elected are the decided
friends of Mr.. CLAY. They all prefer him
before all living men as the next President
ofthe Republic. They are all the open adj
vocates of the Protection of American In
dustry by the enactment of laws designed
for that purpose and sufficient for it, and
the people of Maryland choose them, know
ing their bold and frank avowal Of such
sentiments. The principles of the Wing
party and itsgreat leader we're in the view of
every voter as he deposited his ballot, and
the issue is the calm, solemn, and, we trust,
irreyersible adjudication of the points in
dispute between the two parties by a vast
majority Of the Freemen of the State.
WHIGs OF THE OTHER STATES or THE
UNION
1t is with proud exultation that we apprize
you Of these auspicious results. But it is
not only for the purpose of invoking your
congratulations that we address you. We
desire to point to you the example we have
set, and, with the afIectionate earnestness
which our political brotherhood warrants,
TO ask you to follow it. Before the close Of
the year upon which we have Just entered,
the most momentous political questions that
have ever engaged the attention Of the
American people must be finally settled
The destiny of the Wing party-and, what
W. consider the same thing-the destiny Of
our Republican, involved in the Elections
of 1914 Maryland has felt in this contest
the responsibility of the position she &C.
cupied, and had both the %laurels of victory
fresh upon her brow and the broad and
bright flag of HENRY CLAY waving in tri-
umph throughout her borders.
The undersigned avail themselves of this
occasion to renew on bahalf Of their Wing
brethren Of Baltimore the tender Of the
inequalities of the City TO all who may de-
sire to attend the great Convention to be
held in this City in May next. No matter
how numerous may be the attendance, there
will be room enough in the hearts and homes
of the victorious Wings of Baltimore for all.
