State Conventions.

The Iowa Democratic State convention
met at Burlington on Wednesday. The
chairman, Judge Edward johnson, upon
taking his position, said that the electoral
frauds of 1876 would not down, aud that
the battle Of 1880 must be fought for an
honest count The delegation elected to
the national Democratic convention, though
uninstructcd, is said to be strongly IN favor
Of Mr.. Tilden as the standard bearer ia
the next contest The Nebraska Democ-
rsey are also for Tildcn.
The Connecticut Republican convention,
on the same day, refused to instruct its
delegates, and the delegation to the Chi
eago convention is said TO stand Ave for
Blaine, foar for Eduunds and three for
Washburne. The Massachusetts, Republi-
can convention viii be held next Thursday
at Worcester, aud the indications point to
a mixed delegation. In the local eonysn,
tious Sherman, Grant aud Edmunds have
al shown considerable strength. The
Grant men win endeavor 70 carry the day
at Worcester.

Poor Oppressed Baltimore;

The Sun Of Wednesday complains that
more consideration was not paid to Balti-
more BY tho Legislature, aud remarks that
her representation in that body is not com
mensurate with her wealth and population.
No consideration 10 Baltimore would be
satisfactory to the citizens Of that city
short Of absolute control Of the State.
Being the great business centre Of the
commonwealth, Baliimoreans believe that
all legislation should be to further increase
her business facilities, no matter how dele
terious such legislation might be to the
States revenue, or to the business inter
ests Of other portions Of the State.
The Sun laments the failure Of new
registration bin, but fcrgcts to note that
several Of Baltimore Representatives stead
by opposed the passage Of one. This one,
the Sea says, was objectionable in one par
tieular, which made some members luke
warm in itssupport. Just SO, and any bill
that could have been devised would not
have been acceptable TO ALL II the Sun,
or any one else, expects perfect bill, they
win be everlasting doomed to disappOint-
ment. The present law, to our mind, is
all sufficient for fair and honest registra-
tion, if its provisions be carried out. Il
provides for an annual revision--for an
annual addition Of new names on the
books, and purging Of tho names Of the
dead and removed If the books Of Bal
timore contain names Of persons not quail
fed or who are dead or removed, the pre-
sent law provides remedy for the ccrrec-
ton. If a4law is desired to prevent fraud
at the ballot box, the desire will never be
grati6ed. Law cannot restrain entirely the
bad designs Of people. New York and
Philadelphia have an entire new rsgistra-
tion every year, yet the annual cry Of
fraud is heard 10 both cities.
10 regard to representation according to
population, the .Ssp asks what no city 10
the Union has ever attained, or ever will.
No matter what superiority city people
claim over the Inhabitants Of the rural
districts, that superiority has never been
recognized by statesmen snd law giver, or
BY any accepted authority on political
economy. A portion of the wealth and
population Of every city is unstable, and is
never considered 10 representative appor
iionment.
In summing up the revenue paid BY
Baltimore into the State treasury, the Sun
has included portion Of the amounts re-
ecived from tobacco inspections and the
hay scales. The fees for inspecting tobac-
go and weighing hay are collected from the
growers, and the receipts from hay and TO-
baeeo yroloa ia Baltimore, We take it,
amount to very Insignificant sum. The
SWa should have included in Baltimore's
share Of the public revenue, portion Of
the receipts Of the cattle scales and grain
inspections, for it is probable that the
revenue from cattle and grain raised 10
Baltimore viii fully equal that from hay
aud tobacco.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1880-04-10

The newspaper press Of Baltimore, or a
portion of it at least, Is arrogant and pre-
tentioas, especially towards the country.
A certain bill demanded by one Of her re.
representatives. having failed to pass the
Legislature, the Ereaiag Bafiefia inquiries
the price, per pound, Of aruraI putty
intimating that the Senators from tho
country we're plastic and easily moulded
to the purposes Of those who chose 70 ma.
pipnIate them. If,his were true, they had
been moulded to tho wishes Of the Balzs-
Tins side Of the question, for the manipu-
lations were altogether 10 that direction.
We can tell our illmanncred superciliOus
urban brother that rural putty is worth
fully as much in the market as city brass
or impudence. Even the ssaid and sober
SIN is so far excited over the subject
as 70 advocate or hint at representation
according to population, as a means Of pro-
tecting city interests. If Baltimore city
had few more representative 10 tho
Legislature she would then get less than
her desires crave, for her delegates are
even now IN each others way. When
she bad but two delegates in the I.egisla-
ture they accomplished as much and more
10 proportion than they do now. TO in
crease the representation Of that city would
be calamity, not only 70 the city. but to
he State at large Her present represent
alton i scarcely less than calamity now.
