MARYLAND Democratic Convention.

BALTIMORE, Nd, June 9.-The Democratic
Conservative State convention to select dele
gates to the National convention and candi-
dates for electors assembled to-day. Proceed
ings were characterized by entire harmony.
The resolutions declare adherence to Demo-
cratic principles, repudiate the great wrong
by which the will of the people in the election
OF 1876 was reversed by fraudulent counts
after 1.-THE polls were closed, the Republican
party being in possession of the military power
and the people having no choice except be-
tween civil war and such form of arbitration
as the representatives of the Republican
party in Congress might see fit to devise:
allege that the Republican party has used the
public money and public lands in fostering
great monopolies, has filed the public treasury
by means of tariffsj intended to promote the
advantage of particular manufacturers at the
expense of producing states; has created
system of laws under which the National ex
ecutive may unduly and directly influence
both State and Federal elections; has increased
the number of officers until they form an i'm
mense civil force governed by and dependent
upon its will and has used the Federal army
as means of increasing its political power
More than once the people of the United
States have been brought to the verge of bank
ruptcy by the legislation of the Republican
party, and they owe their returning prosperity
only to the blessings of God and to their now
increased economy and untiring labor.
The National Democratic Conservative party
will maintain the equality of all citizens be-
fore the law and enforce and uphold their con-
stitutlonal rights; will check the present ex-
travagance in expenditure of public money;
will reform the injustice and inequality of ex-
listing tariffs will maintain absolute supremacy
of civil over military power and check the
progress of Capitalization and keep the Execu-
tive and Congress within limit of their consti-
tutional powers
The resolutions decline to instruct the dele
gates, but express confidence in the distin-
guished ability of Thomas Francis Bayard
The resolutions were unanimously adopted
and delegates and electors selected.
Convention recommended adhesion to the
two-thirds rule.

BUFFALO, June "a man giving the name

send to friends, then trace the signature on an
other check for large sum. A large amount

Democratic Discrimination Against
Them.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Senate took up
the bill TO increase the police force of the Dis.
trict of Columbia The Senate had restored
the original House proposition, which was
that the provision of existing law requiring
that the police force should be chosen from ex-
Uuion soldiers or sailors should be repealed.
The Republicans opposed the repeal, claiming
that the time has not yet come when the
Union soldier should be put aside for the
Confederate soldier. Mr. Beck charged that
the efforts in behalf of the Union soldier were
either of the meanest sort of vengeance or the
the lowest demagoguery. The Democratic
majority OF the Senate decided that this pro-
vision should be repealed, and that the Union
soldier must go. Several Democrats broke
their pairs to make quorum, and voted
against the soldier

4 Big Time Expected This Evening at the
wIIson.TutchiDson Debate.

NEW CUMBERLAND, September, ~.
Editors In,eliEeneer. i
Everything in political sense is in q
iurore OF excitement here, Great prepara-
tons Of stupendous nature are being
made for the joint discussion on to.mor.
row (Tuesday) evening. An immense
crowd is looked for, and II the expecta-
tations OF the committee are half realized
the crowd will be the largest and most en-
thusiastic that was ever in our town. The
Democracy are making ever effort imagi.
nabe to give the grandest reception ever
given man in the county, and We pro-
pose to just discount their efforts. There
was an understanding entered into by the
chairman OF each committee that there
should be no colonization OF marching
clubs, but that we should use our own
forces from this county. OF course 1t Is
understood that everybody is cordially in
yited to come, but those outside oil the
county as individuals and not as organiZa-
tons. It makes no difference, we can
beat them any way they take II, and We
intend TO give Hon. John A. Hutchinson
he prandest send off in Hancock county
that any man ever received. The enthu'
siasm is at fever heat Never In
the history OF the county, either In
anls belium times or at any period since the
war, was the enthusiasm at such pitch
40 1t has reached st the present. Every
thing Is below par, compared with politics,
in the way OF excitement; business IL q
secondary matter. The crow OF the De-
mocracy over the first returns from Maine
has caused every Republican to throw of
his coat, roll up his sleeves, and go TO
work with will, and on the evening OF
the 18th Of October, when the ballots are
counted out, 1t will be demonstrated what
their work means. We will give the lArg.
est Republican majority on the State
ticket that was ever given by old Hancock
county. The Democracy made teble at
Tempt to drum up crowd to go to the
upper end Of the county on Saturday
afternoon to raise q Hancock pole, and
after marshalling the band around for an
hour about 80 were gathered together and
took passage on the steamer Wells When
the shsdes Of night came they returned, and
oh, such eropd. They had become
diEzy.headed by looking through 8 glass at
the extreme height OF the pole-the glass,
was bar glass. II had the symptoms oi

some OF the words; but this Is not strange
when we only think over the matter, be-
cause thew will never know the difference
