PORT TOBACCO. May 18th. 1915

PORT TOBACCO, MAY 18th, 1S4S.
Dear Sir Yours of the l7,h inst. has
just been received on my return from Wash
lnglon. ] have two other letters of similar
import. The misrepresentation to which
you refer, relative to the Wing Convention
which met in Baltimore on the lIlh inst.
and the course pursued by me, seem to have
given rise to just remarks. Invent to the
Convention with single object, which was
to endeavor, as far as in my power, to har-
NOME conflicting opinions, and to unite
the Wings of Maryland to support the no.
mlnee of the Wing National Convention, TO
meet in Phladel phia on the 7lh of June
next, believing that the delegates in that
Convention would, under all circumstances,
make the most udicious selection of candl-
dates.
Having no prejudice myself agains, any
one of the distinguished Wings who have
been spoken Of for that high office, | was
willing to yield my own personal prefer
ence whenever satisfied that any other Wing
could be nominated who would be most
likely to concentrate the largest plumber of
votes. Since 1882, when Mr.. Clay was taken
up by the Wings as their candidate for the
Presidency, my prepossessions have been in
favor of him as has been those of a majority
of the Wing party. Nor did suppose there
was man in Maryland, of either party. who
knew me, who ever doubted that preference;
though have not made his nomination
''s'ne qua ,10n" to my support of a Wing
candidate.
You ask my opinions Of the prospect Of
the Wings. Ny opinions are ofn more i'm
portance than those of any other individual
possessed of similar means of Information.
Had the election been held for President
and Vice President six months ago, few
doubt that the Wing candidates would have
succeeded. do not believe that the rank
and file of the Wings have lessened since
that period. Yet success is rendered less
certain by the divisions amongs, the more
prominent men of the Wing party-hence
the necessity of the Delegates to the Ma
tlonal Wing Convention going to Phladel-
phla as Uhigs. determined TO unite as bre-
lhren IN the selection of candidate most
likely to ensure success. Entertaining these
views induced me to oppose the instructions
moved by Gov. PRATT in the Baltimore Con-
vention, epropriety of which course have
seen no reason to doubt. | still trust that
the Wings. not only of Maryland, bu. from
all other States, will 60 TO the National Con-
ven.ion with determination to act as Wings
and not as partzans, to unite in the common
cause and agree upon candidate who NAV
be elected, and whose nomination will be
supported by all who profess to be Wings.
The Democratic party set us good exam
