HON. j. FRED. G. TALBOT.
How His Reformation is Received

From the Tolosontoacn Journal:
"The denomination of Hon. J. F. c. Tai
bot for Congress from this, the Second Dis
trict, has been received by the press and peo-
| pie of the district with many expressions of
appreciation. His nomination for third term
is certainly a very high compliment to him.
Without doubt he has labored earnestly to
advance the interests of his constituents of the
whole district in every way which has pre-
scented itself; and he has rarely been absent
| from his seat We know very well that his
votes in the House with his Democratic con-
feres upon Democratic principles and Demo-
cratic policy have not been agreeable to his
Republican constituents, but that is to be ex-
pected."
Bel dir Agis:
''The action of the Westminster convention
resulted in the nomination of Hon. j. F. C..
Talbot, of Baltimore county, as the Demo
cratic candidate for representative in Congress
from this district. In common with many
Democrats of this county our first choice was
for county man, but the question has now
been lifted entirely above one of personal
preference. Mr.. Talbot, by his course in
Congress, has proved himself a consistent and
earnest supporter of Democratic principles,
which we believe to be vital in their influence
on the perpetuity of this government, State
and Federal. At this juncture of affairs, when
the great States of New York and Pennsylva-
MIA are seemingly about to resume their posi-
ton in the Democratic line, every voter should
lend his aid and exert his utmost influence to
preserve intact our strength already acquired
in Congress, and add the moral weight of
large maiorities to those who represent us
there. Thus. and thus only, can we hope to
be ready, when the Presidential campaign
comes on, to assume our proper place in the
CT fho If
Republicanism. No man can truthfully say
that Mr.. Talbot has not been a faithful rep
resentative of the principles of Democracy in
Congress. We give him our support because
we know him, by his record, to be prompt in
the hour of need to maintain our principles. !"
Bel dir Democrat:
"We place at the head of our columns this
week the nominee of the Westminster conven-
ton, the Hon. J. Fred. G. Talbot, of Balti-
more county. Inasmuch the convention,
in its wisdom, has seen proper to make Mr..
Talbot our standard bearer in lieu of our first
choice, it is our duty, as Democrats, to give
him the same hearty and undivided support
He is Democrat, tried and true, and repre-
sents the principles of the party to which we
belong and upon the enforcement of which
we believe the best interests of the people are
involved. In advocating the election of our
nominee we are but upholdlng the principles
of the party he represents. Mr.. Talbott's
course in Congress the past four years has
been honorable, strictly Democratic and in
the interests of his State. The experience
gained in the past will enable him to be more
useful in the future. His return 10 the halls
of legislation will place the district in accord
with the national Democracy and, as now
seems probable, will add to the party's ma
jority in Congress"
The Frederick Citizen says:
''Mr. Talbot has been an energetic and
useful member and will be elected"
Mr.. Talbot has received letters from many
prominent Democrats in his district, congrat-
Mating him upon his denomination and ex-
pressing the warmest friendship.
