81 Card.
!. p G.

| 1t has been stated that the principal cause
OF the opposition of those unfavorable to my
reelection to the State Senate, was the fact
OF my having voted for Mr.. Fowler as State
Treasurer, his political antecedents being of
such character as ought TO have precluded
him from receiving my support.
As regards Mr.. Fowler's past political life,
will observe, that before he received nv
support was fully convinced, from indubi-
table testimony, that after the dissolution of
the Wing party he had refrained from join
ing any political organization whatever, that
during the entire warhe was thoroughly con-
sentative, and had on numerous occasions
been the means of relieving and assisting
out OF their difficulties those of our Southern
friends in this State and Virginia who were
suffering from the despotism of the times
After the war, Mr. Fowler became one of
the chief leaders in those movements which
resulted in the enfranchisement of our peo-
pie, and it cannot be denied that it was prin-
cipally through his active agency that this
measure was accomplished. After this was
done, Mr.. Fowler attached himself without
any reservation whatever to the Democratic
party. and believing him to be thoroughly
sincere, andnot the shadow ola charge resting
on his official career as Treasurer of Mary
land, and when convinced that his election
would secure that of the gentleman whom
knew would have been the choice of the vast
majority of my constituents, if the selection
had rested with them, as United States SEN
ator, voted for him.
Moreover, in the election of Mr.. Fowler,
the State was certGin-apd in saying this,
do not mean to cast the slightest reflection
on his competitor, a gentleman for whom
l have highest personal regard-in having
an officer thoroughly identified with her
most important interests.
1t is true, fiat any time there had been the
remotest chance for the selection of o Treas
urer from among my own constituents, it
would have been my duty to have given him
my most earnest support, and he certainly
should have received it; and will state now,
that if shonld be reelected to the State
Senate, will advocate and support as Treas
urer of Maryland any gentlemen of my own
county who may believe has the confidence
and esteem of the community, and who may
desire the position.

To the T'Ofers Of Hartford

The question has been of late repeatedly

be held next November. To those who have
made the inquiry of me replied affirmative.
", and as deem it 10 he proper that the pub-
lie at large should be made acquainted with
the fact, take this method of doing so. In
thus announcing myselfas candidate, / will
avail myself of the opportunity to return NV
heartfelt thanks to the people of Hartford, for
the high honor conferred upon me in electinp
me to the State Senate in 1867, with the
knowledge that the chances were even that
would continue member of that body for
four years; but 1t has so happened that in
drawing lots for the longer and shorter terms.
drew the latter. My now becoming cam
didate will allow the people of the county an
earlier opportunity to pass upon me as their
representative in the State Senate, than if I
mad drawn the longer term and am truly
satisfied that such is the case, because if my
course had been such as not to merit their
appreciation, would have no right TO con-
tinue their representative. lit has. I trnst
shall have the proud satisfaction of having
their endorsement
Whether SO honored or not, it will always

was dictated through desire to serve any
mere partisan purpose nor performed with
an eye to future personal Or political advan-
tage; the belief that it would promote the
interests of the State, or of the county more
Immediately concerned, was sufficient for
me.
Through life Democrat, but always en-
tertaining those conservative principles
which are the very foundation of true repub-
licanism, it is scarcely necessary for me to
pledge to the people of my county, who
know me SO we'll, that if honored by having
the opportunity, shall in the future, as in
the past, devote the best energies l possess
to advance every interest that may conduce
to the advantage of my county and State;
and will add, that if 1should be their choice,
whatever influence may happen to possess
IN the appointments to Office, shall be used
IN behalf of those of my constituents who
would be the choice of the people, ifthey had
the selection, as far as it can possibly be as
certained.
