BIOGRAPHIC SKETCHES OF THE Governor Secretary of State, Comptroller, Attorney General, and flembers of the General Assembly of Maryland. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT: Governor of Maryland : LLOYD LOWNDES, of Cumberland, Allegcmy County. Lloyd Lowndes, of Maryland, was born in Clarksburg, West Virginia,' February 21st, 1845. His father and grandfather before him were prominent men of the State, and the Lowndes family has been identified with the interests of Western Mary- land almost from its settlement. Mr. Lowndes was educated in the academy at Clarksburg, in Washington College, Washington, Pennsylvania, and in Alle- ghany College, Meadville, Pennsylvania, having graduated from the last-named institution in 1865. Shortly afterward, he began the study of law in Philadelphia, and in 1S67 was graduated from the law school of the University of Pennsylvania. Upon his graduation he settled in Cumberland, and soon acquired a large and lucrative practice. His thorough knowl- edge of the fundamental principles of constitutional law, and his great personal popularity made him a most desirable candi- date for congressional honors, and, at the urgent request of the leaders of the Republican party, he accepted the nomination for Congress, and went into the campaign of 1872, and was elected over the Hon. John Ritchie, of Frederick county, the Demo- cratic nominee, by the majority of 1,700. In this tight, Mr. Lowndes threw all that energetic and persistent application -which had characterized his work at school, the college, the uni- versity, and while practicing at the bar, and the “forlorn hope” 4 MARYLAND MANUAL. led by him at that time was right gallantly won, and showed a reversal of 3,200 votes, his antagonist having been elected two years before by a majority of 1,500. When, he entered the Forty-third Congress, he was but twenty-eight years of age, and was the youngest member in the House, notwithstanding which he served ably on several of the most important committees. In 1874 Mr. Lowndes was a second-time candidate for a seat in Congress, but was defeated by William Walsh by the narrow majority of fifty votes. 8ince his retirement from Congress, Mr. Lowndes has several times been mentioned in connection with the nomination, which at last became his in November, 1895. He was a member of the national convention that nominated James A. Garfield for the Presidency, and was one of the National World’s Fair Commissioners for Maryland, Ex-Mayor Hodges, of Baltimore, being the other commissioner. Mr. Lowndes was nominated by the Bepublican Convention, in Cambridge, after an exciting canvass in the State and city primaries, on August 15th, and from that time to his election to the highest office in the gift of the State, his time has been given unreservedly to the interests of the campaign. The family of the Governor include five sons and a daughter. He was married in 1869, his wife being a cousin, Miss Elizabeth, daughter of the late Richard T. Lowndes. Their two eldest sons, Lloyd and Richard, were graduated from Yale last June, and the third, Charles, finished his education in Europe. Governor Lowndes is a lineal descendant of Edward Lloyd, the first Commander of Anne Arundel county, in 1651. Secretary of State : RICHARD DALLAM, of Harford County. Mr. Dallam was born in Belair, Harford county, and is thirty-one years of age. He is the next youngest man who has ever occupied the position. He was educated at the Harford Academy, Belair, and entered the Maryland Law School, from which he graduated in 188^. During Colonel Webster’s term as collector of the port of Baltimore, he received an appointment to a position in the Custom House, which he held until 1889, when he resigned to practice his profession. He is a member of the vestry of Emanuel Protestant Episcopal Church, Belair, and is president of the Harford County Fire Insurance Company. He is married and has one daughter. He will reside in Annapolis, having taken a house permanently. Stenographer: GEORGE E. LOWERED, of Prince George's County. MARYLAND MANUAL. 5 Election Clerk: ALLAN B. SPIER, of Allegany County. Clerk: CARL HARDY, of Howard County. Messenger : SAMUEL W. BROOKS, of Anne Arundel County. Comptroller of the Treasury. Robert P. Graham, of Salisbury, Wicomico County. Robert P. Graham, Comptroller, is the son of Col. S. A. Graham, well known for many years in Eastern Shore political circles. He was born in Salisbury, April 7th, 1867, and is, therefore, in his twenty-ninth year. Mr. Graham received his early education in the excellent public schools of Salisbury, and later passed through the Johns Hopkins University with credit. In 1888, Mr. Graham was graduated from the Maryland Univer- sity School of Law, and at once began the practice of his pro- fession in Salisbury. His practice in the courts of the lower Eastern Shore counties is extensive, and he has been successfully engaged in some important cases. Mr. Graham has held no public office, but has been actively identified with the Republican party. Attorney-General. Harry M. Clabaugh, of Westminster, Carroll County. Harry M. Clabaugh, who was chosen in Hovember, 1895, as Attorney-General, though not yet forty years of age, is well known in all parts of Maryland. He has gained a name for himself at the bar and in politics, and has been active in State and county affairs almost from boyhood. He was born at Cum- berland, July 16th, 1856, and lived there until 1862, when his father, the late G. W. Clabaugh. moved his family to Baltimore city, and then, in 1873, to Carroll county. Mr. Clabaugh was sent to the Pennsylvania College, at Gettys- burg, and graduated from there in 1877. In the following year he graduated in law from the University of Maryland, having taken the two-year course in a year. He read law with Mr. Bernard Carter, in Baltimore city, and entered upon the practice of his profession in Baltimore, but on the death of his father in 1880, he removed to Carroll county, where he has since lived a lawyer and a farmer, on one of the handsomest estates in the commonwealth. 6 MARYLAND MANUAL. For some years Mr. Clabangh has been active and prominent on the Republican side of politics in Maryland. He was a delegate to the national convention at Chicago, in 1884, which nominated James G. Blane for the Presidency. A year or two later he was the nominee for the State Senate from Carroll county, but was defeated by Pinkney J. Bennett. When the RepuhJican State Convention met at Ocean City in 1891, to nominate a candidate for Governor, it is said that a majority of the delegates were in favor of the nomination of Mr. Clabaugh, but be declined to permit his name to go before the convention. After the selection of Hon. William J. Yan- nort, Mr. Clabaugh was unanimously chosen chairman of the Republican State Central Committee of Maryland. He was re-elected two years ago, and has had an active share in directing the movements of the party leading up to the nominating con- vention of 1895. Members of Congress. Senators: Arthur P.

  • FLOOD, CHRISTINE ROWSE, Ph.D. the Arbiters of Compromise: Sectionalism, Unionism, and Secessionism in Maryland and North Carolina
    FLOOD, CHRISTINE ROWSE, Ph.D. The Arbiters of Compromise: Sectionalism, Unionism, and Secessionism in Maryland and North Carolina. (2015) Directed by Dr. Mark Elliott, 268 pp. The upper south was a region that was in the literal and figurative middle during the secession crisis of 1860-1861. In the late antebellum period, the upper south had diverse populations, burgeoning economic growth and still-vibrant two-party politics, even after the collapse of the Whig party. As the north and the cotton states descended into more radicalized political positions, the upper south maintained a strong sectional identity that positioned the region as the only sane and rational part of the deteriorating nation. Upper south sectional identity was rooted in general distaste for extremism of any sort, a political culture that could allow negotiation on the question of slavery in the territories, a willingness to give the Lincoln administration a chance, and the belief that the upper south states would provide the political and social leadership to forestall secession and war. Though seemingly dissimilar at first glance, Maryland and North Carolina were two states which approached the matter of union of disunion with similar caution, and were the home of strong examples of upper south sectional identity. Through a study of both the unionist and secessionist leadership in each state, this dissertation reveals the development of the upper south sectional identity and the significant attempts at compromise that were being present in Maryland and North Carolina during the secession winter. These two states provide two excellent case studies of upper south sectional identity, as each state had populations and political leadership that was not tied to perpetual and unrestricted slavery, as well as leadership drawn from the slaveholding and non-slaveholding population.

J. C. Dulany Co. Chapter 48, Acts of 1904. An Act to formally adopt and legalize the Maryland Flag. Whueuas, It is represented to the General Assembly that the flag designed and used as the Flag of Maryland, under the Proprietary Government, and which is still known as the Maryland Flag, has never been formally adopted by Maryland as a State, its use having been continued by common consent only; and Whereas, It is not only desirable that the official Flag of Maryland should be formally adopted and legalized, but it is eminently fitting that, by reason of its historic interest and meaning, as well as for its beauty and harmony of colors, the flag adopted should be the one which, from the earliest settlement of the Province to the present time, has been known and distinguished as the Flag of Maryland; therefore, Section i. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the flag heretofore, and now in use, and known as the Maryland Flag, be and the same is hereby legalized and adopted as the flag of the State of Maryland, which said flag is particularly described, as to coloring and arrangement, as follows: Quartered—the first and fourth quarters being paly of six pieces, or and sable, a bend dexter counter- changed; the second and third, quarterly, argent and gules, a cross bottonly countersigned; that is to say, the first and fourth quarters con- sist of six vertical bars alternately gold and black with a diagonal band on which the colors are reversed, the second and third consisting of a quartered field of red and white, charged with a Greek Cross, its arms terminating in trefoils, with the coloring transposed, red being on the white ground and white on the red, and all being as represented upon the escutcheon of the present Great Seal of Maryland.

  • SPRING/Summer 2017 Maryland Blood: an American Family in War and Peace, the Hambletons 1657 to the Present
    MARYLAND Hisorical Magazine SPRING/SUMMeR 2017 Maryland Blood: An American Family in War and Peace, the Hambletons 1657 to the Present Martha Frick Symington Sanger At the dawn of the seventeenth century, immigrants to this country arrived with dreams of conquering a new frontier. Families were willing to embrace a life of strife and hardship but with great hopes of achieving prominence and wealth. Such is the case with the Hambleton family. From William Hambleton’s arrival on the Eastern Shore in 1657 and through every major confict on land, sea, and air since, a member of the Hambleton clan has par- ticipated and made a lasting contribution to this nation. Teir achievements are not only in war but in civic leadership as well. Among its members are bankers, business leaders, government ofcials, and visionaries. Not only is the Hambleton family extraordinary by American standards, it is also re- markable in that their base for four centuries has been and continues to be Maryland. Te blood of the Hambletons is also the blood of Maryland, a rich land stretching from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean to the tidal basins of the mighty Chesapeake to the mountains of the west, a poetic framework that illuminates one truly American family that continues its legacy of building new genera- tions of strong Americans. Martha Frick Symington Sanger is an eleventh-gen- eration descendant of pioneer William Hambleton and a great-granddaughter of Henry Clay Frick. She is the author of Henry Clay Frick: An Intimate Portrait, Te Henry Clay Frick Houses, and Helen Clay Frick: Bitter- sweet Heiress.

This will be only the third Senate presidential impeachment trial in U.S. history, and the first in twenty years; it will also be the first that raises the question of national security misconduct. From both sides of the aisle, we participated in two prior impeachment proceedings—one of a sitting President—and became familiar with the arcane constitutional law of this area.1 With hopes that our experience will be useful to you, we have prepared the attached memorandum summarizing the Senate’s rules regarding the roles and obligations of U.S. senators in a presidential impeach- ment trial.2 We offer this memorandum to you and your staff with respect and appreciation for your serious and important work ahead. We hope that this information will give helpful and unbi- ased guidance as the trial unfolds. As you know, Article I of the Constitution provides that “[t]he Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.”3 Upon “[i]mpeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors,” the President shall be removed from office.4 Only two Senate presidential impeachment trials—of Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton—have occurred in U.S.

Nebraska’s entry into the Union in 1867 marked the reassertion of congressional authority over federal dependencies.

PRED'K ESSARY il:i '^CI,A401118 Press of John Murphy Company, Baltimore. Md. MAY 25 1915 I This Volume Is Affectionately Dedicated To My Wife, HELEN K. ESSARY. INTRODUCTION This book was written with the idea of re- cording in some permanent form the splendid achievements of that group of Maryland pa- triots, statesmen, diplomatists and jurists who have contributed most to the greatness of the Republic, men whose public services estab- lished them as national characters, as contra- distinguished from purely State figures. In no sense is this a history of Maryland, nor is it a history of the United States. It is, however, a faithful presentation of the parts played in the nation's history by those distin- guished Marylanders of the past century who helped lay the foundation of this government, who have builded upon that foundation, who have made their country's laws and have had a potential influence in shaping its destiny. In dealing with the careers of these men the hard-and-fast lines of stereotyped biography have, in a measure, been abandoned. The places and dates of birth, the early education, the eccentricities of old schoolmasters, boy- hood pastimes and youthful love afifairs are, of course, affecting details, but they are not the circumstances in the lives of strong men that arrest attention and sustain the interest of those vi Introduction.
