ing to you the formal notification of your election as
United States Senator for a third term from March
4th, 1893.

ferred upon you, sir, by your native State, out of a
deep sense of gratitude for the eminently able and
patriotic services which, you have so splendidly ren-
dered this nation in the Senate, and which, we believe,
must ever endear your memory to those who truly
cherish a sacred regard for the Constitutional liberties
of their country.
It is with pride, pardonable, we apprehend, that
Maryland observes the elevation of her respected son
and shares happily witn the common praise which his
brilliant career has produced, and we do sincerely
express the hope that to the country may be vouch-
safed in you the continuation of that wise, liberal and
courageous statesmanship which has already proven
its bulwark and protection.
Begging that you will accept this letter, sir, as the
message of the Legislature of Maryland, and with sen-
timents expressive of great honor and cordial con-
gratulations,
We have sir, the much appreciated distinction of
subscribing ourselves your most humble servants,
