To the Democratic Conservative Party
of Montgomery County.

Gentlemen IL hope | do not presume in
announcing myself II candidate for a seat in
the next HOUSE OF DELEGATES, subject
10 your vol,ion at the ensuing primaries.
In thus presenting myself propose TO state
briefly my position, which is this, viz am
in the interest of no cabal, coterie, combina-
ton or arrangement Of any character what
ever--entrely free 10 serve the people as they
may direct-holdng my personal predilec-
,ions in subserviency to the will of The peo-
pie, believing that wW 10 be paramount in ali
things.
Coming from the ranks Of labor, ! have
ever been the champion of the working-man
in every equitable right, but never against
the just prerogatives Of the wealthy, con-
tending that clear solution OF that problem
makes their respective interests mutual and
reciprocal.
| disclaim all egotism, but | know your
courtesy will allow me TO say that | have
faithfully served the Democratic Conserva-
tive party since my majOrity-no man more
upulously-an while ! do not demand a
reward for having performed duty founded
on principle, ! do most courteously solicit
you, my Democratic Conservative felow-cit-
zens, 10 try me just one time then if faithless,
let VOWS UNI reformed and pledges unre-
deemed, relegate me to the sober shades OF
reflective retirement and no murmur shall
arise from yours fraternally,

To the Democratic-C Conservative Voters
of Montgomery County.

According to the adopted usage of our par
ty, | respectfully submit my name to your
consideration for denomination to the Office
of STATE SENATOR for Montgomery county
In doing So think it due to you to define
my position on certain political questions
which now agitate the public mind.
am in favor of the taxation Of mortgages,
and in this connection adopt fully our Dec
laration of Rights, that "every person in the
State, or person holding property therein,
ought 10 contribute his proportion of public
taxes for the support Of Government, accord
ing TO his actual north in real or personal pro-
perty."
| am in favor OF change in our Public
School system. In this connection, think
the PIT bile should have voice in the selection
of county officers, and the patrons OF schools
in the selection of teachers, and that the
school fund should be managed on such an
economical basis as will insure n continuance
of the schools for at least Ten months in each
year.
believe more stringent law in reference
to the manufacture and sale OF fertilizers is
greatly needed TO protect the agricultural
community from fraud and imposition in the
wholesale traffic of spurious and worthless
articles.
Local Option, in my opinion, is question
more strictly belonging to moral sunsion than
legislative enactment. II having been en-
grated in our laws by large majority at the
last election, in my opinion it should have n
full and fair trial, and in no event be repealed
except by a vote of the people.
! am opposed TO all sinecure offices, to all
waste of the public money, and in favor of
an economical and honest administration Of
our State government.
As our county is almost exclusively agr-
cultural in its interests, ! will favor all
measures looking to the encouragement and
protection of this vital industry. II with
these views the public can give me their sup
port shall endeavor 10 carry them out 10 the
word and to the letter
