To the Voters Of Hartford
EO9x1afN.

The question has been of late repeatedly
asked whether or not intended to be q can
didate for the State Senate at the election to
be held next November To those who have
made the inquiry of me | replied affirmative
ly, and as | deem it to bcproper that the pub
lie at large should be made acquainted with
the fact, take this method of doing So In
thus announcing myself as candidate will
avail myself of the opportunity to return my
heartfelt thanks to the people of Hartford, for
the high honor conferred upon me in eecting
me to the State Senate in 1867, with the
knowledge that the chances were even that I
would continue member of that body for
four years; but it has so happened that in
drawing lots for the longer and shorter terms,
L drew the latter. My now becoming 4 can
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
had drawn the longer term; and l 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. 1T has, trust
l shall have the proud satisfaction of having
their endorsement.
Whether so honored or not, it will always
be to me most agreeable reflection that no
act of mine while member of the Senate,
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 a 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 well, that if honored by having
the opportunity, l 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 l will add, that if should 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.

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 my
support was fully convinced, from indubi-
table testimony, that after the dissolution of
the Wing party he had refraned 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 reimbursement 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
WOulu ocCulc tldG VI tHc SclIlClll'tu Wlloiu L
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, l voted for him.
Moreover, in the election of Mr.. Fowler,
the State was certain-and in saying this, |
do not mean to cast the slightest reflection
on his competitor, gentleman for whom
have highest personal regard-in having
an officer thoroughly identified with her
most important interests
1t is true ifa any time there had been the
remotest chance for the selection of a 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, l 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.

| find it i'm the breast of some here and YOU
will find that you also have achieved q victo-
ry. The reward of this days contest is to
crown Queen and her Maids of Honor, and
the smiles and glances of all the beautiful
will make you feel that there could be no

The ladies to be crowned were then escorted
to the Judges stand by the successful knights,
and crowned with beautiful wreaths of flow
ers. Miss Augusta Pierce, of Baltimore
county, was crowned Queen, Miss Allie
Street,, of Hartford county, Miss Annie Will
liar, of Baltimore city and Miss Emma
Semmes, of Hartford county, respectively as
First, Second and Third Maids of Honor.
After the honors had been decided, the
Marshal announced to the Judges that some
parties were prepared to challenge the sue
cessful knights, but the Judges, ON consulta-
ton, decided not to admit it, and ruled them
out, which seemed to meet with approval
generally.
During the riding there was q light shower,
but not enough to interfere with the fitting,
and the Judges ordered it to proceed.
large portion of the persons assembled
accepted the hospitality of the Long Green
residents and those in the neighborhood,
preparatory to the dance, which was held in
a beautiful grove belonging TO Philip George,
Esq, about half mile from the Tourna-
ment grounds, and where platform was
laid, and the grounds finely lighted by nu-
merous lamps, and with large fires at each
end of the platform. The royal dance COM
mencei at seven o'clock, and the dancing
was kept up from that time until the small
hours of the morning.
This closed the Tournament and Picnic,
one of the most pleasant ever held in this
section; and we must do our Baltimore coun-
ty friends the justice to say, that although
during the riding there was good deal of
pleasant banter and rivalry between the
counties, and considerable cheering and way
ing Of handkerchiefs, as favorite of either
of the counties made q successful hit and
passed down the course, yet there was no

on the ground was an excellent arrangement,
and gave more satisfaction than if it had been
put off to the Picnic.

The Long Green Tournament.

The Tournament at Long Green came off
on Tuesday. The unfavorable morning no
doubt prevented many from turning out but
at 10 O'Clock, the time fixed to commence
the fitting, there was an immense crowd,
variously cstimatedat from 1900 to 5000,
comprising the beauty and fashion of the sur
rounding country, for distance of fifteen or
twenty miles, with very large addition from
the city.
The locality is peculiarly favorable one,
being very near the line between the two
counties of Hartford and Baltimore, which
were well represented, both by the spectators
and by the knights, and gave to the tourna-
ment somewhat of q county rivalry; and
also for another reason, that the residents of
Long Green Valley and neighborhood, who
have always been noted for their hospitality,
on this, as on former occasions, kept open
houses to all corners. The ground selected
for the riding was in a meadow belonging to
John Watkins Esq, and was well adapted
for viewing the riding.
At 10 o'clock the Judges assembled in the
stand when the knights, preceded by band
of music, passed over the list in single file,
making, with their gay dresses and fine
horses, a very imposing appearance. They
were brought up to the Judges stand by the
Marshal, Col Jenifer, when Gen. E. G. Will
son addressed them in some happy remarks,
calling on them to do their duty in this field,
as the bright eyes of the ladies were on them,
and would cheer them on in well doing
He told them that they were the representa-
tives of the old Maryland chivalry who came
over with Lord Baltimore, the founder and first
ruler of this land; and he hoped that they
would prove to-day that they were true rep
resentatives of that old stock, as the Covert
or of our State-the first gentleman in the
land-was now present in the stand to wit
ness the riding.
General w. told them that he might say
that he was himselfa volunteer being called
on to address them in the absence of the
chosen orator, but the bright reward of
browning some beautiful woman was
enough to inspire them in the contest, with
out words from him. That were it permit
ted to him to do SO, he felt sure it would in
spire him, and he should certainly make the
trial The riding then commenced, with the
following results:
