MARYLAND.
Ex-senator Hamilton.

ANNAPOLIS, MD, March II, 1875.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: Allow me a few lines space TO correct some
errors made by q correspondent in TIE REPUBLI-
CAN in an "Open Letter to Senator Hamilton" oil
Maryland.
The writer says that there are not 100000 ex-
pended yearly in this State to c0lOred schools. l
have It from the comptrsllCrs office that the state
does pay that amount, and /, as a member oil the
press, have published the quarterly proportions 10
the respective counties OF the State.
As to Senator HamiltOn's liberal views toWard
the cOlOrCd man having had anything to do with
the losing Of the SenatOrshlp that is mere moon
shine Why, the charge has never found It's way
even TO the capital, the place OF making senators.
Furthe', insight into Maryland politics OF tne
past few years would give the writer, II ne were
a seeker aiIer truth, very different reason ioT
the nol.elec.lOn Of Sensl1r Hamilton. And
more, that this llberalltv, II such he have, mas
not hurt in the eyes Of democrats, let your cor
respondent know that Senator Hamilton is a
prtminent candidate for Democratic nomination
able that Wiilian 4. Hamilton will be the next
GUyetnor Of Maryland. h'
