Into the affairs of this Company we
therefore. with the same confidence, invoke
your careful inquiry. and we are satisfied
that, as with the Treasury Department,
its management will command the decid-
ed appreciation of the impartial people of
Maryland.
We have confined our remarks to State
matters because they are subjects with
which we feel ourselves especially called
upon to deal. The executive officers of
the city of Baltimore are fully capable of
vindicating successfully their manage
ment of the financial affairs of that city.
We think that we have fairly and frank
ly disposed of all the insinuations for
nothing has been stated that rises to the
dignity of an accusationl which have been
made as to the Treasury and Canal man
agement by Democratic officials, and we
feel confident that the intelligence and
patriotism of the people cannot be so
olouded by the partizan clamor of those
who have lost power by their own folly
and reckless abuse of it, as TO destroy the
future prosperity of Maryland by commit
ting its government 10 those who were. in
1867. driven from power by the immense
uprising Of the people of this State.
Citizens of Maryland, we have thus
briefly portrayed your present happy fl
nancial condition. and sought calmly and
truthfully to warn you of your danger
We have stated only facts, and recalled to
you the plain teachings of the past. We
have presented to you as candidates tor
State offices, men whose record for patriot
ism, intelligence and purity of character
cannot be surpassed, and il remains for
you, in your several counties and the city
Of Baltimore, to aid them by the election
Of your best men to the Legislature, that
by their united efforts such reforms as ex-
perience may show 10 be necessary shall
be secured under the administration ofthe
Democratic Conservative party.
That its management in the past may
have been at times not as discreet as, in
the judgment of some of its adhcrents, il
might have been, is possible; yet, judged
by the general results of its government OF
this State. il will challenge the approval
of all fair and impartial men.
By order OF the State Central Committee
JosHUA NASsANT, Chairman.
