Some of the resolutions of the Democratic
State Convention, in Maine, yesterday, were
very sound. Some of them like that on Civil
Service Reform, were mere empty words and
the one denouncing a protective tariff as a
means OF raising revenue, and declaring
unequivocally for absolute free trade, illus
trales the length to which irresponsible peo-
pie are likely to 90. If these Maine Demo-
Gratis had the ieastchance of doing what they
propose, they would as soon think of thrust
ing their fingers into ohe fire as of imposing
direct taxes on the people for the purpose of
raising the revenue, which now comes from
the tariff they denounce.-Nep York Ifi-
