Maryland Democrats.

Baltimore, 1S.-The Democratic
State convention met at noon to-
day. Ex-Governor Phillip Francis
Thomas was chosen temporary
chairman. Thomas addressed the
convention, counseling forbearance,
wisdom and some regard for public
interest in its deliberations. Com
mittees on credentials, permanent
organization and resolutions were
appointed and the convention took
recess for half an hour.
On Ieassembling the following
ticket was nominated: Robert NJ.
McLane for Governor, Charles B.
Roberts for attorney general, j..
Frank Turner for comptroller.
The platform adopted is: The
Democratic party of Maryland,
in State convention assembled,
resolves as follows: The cleo
ton for executive officers OF
the State, to be held in Novem-
Der of this year, is Of momentOus
Importance, because il will deter
mine tina policy and cOntr u of the
legislature of the State until 1888,
aud Will exert a decisive influence
upon the vote of tie State at the
presidential election of 1884. The
declaration Of the election of Hayes
and Wheeler in 1876 to the offices of
President and Vice-PreSident of the
United States, was brought about
by frauds c0nsummated under the
forms of Law, and the methods used
in the election of Garfield and Ar
thur in 1880 have been proved by
the creatures who did tie evil work
to be, if possible, more dtscreditable
than those adopted by their
fellows in 1876. The national Re
publican party of the country has
during its tenure Of power, made
public lands the spoil Of favored
corporations 1t has squandered

Wants a Crooked Thing Straight
ened.

Washington, 19.-The Secretary of
War has received a letter from Gem
eral Crook, asking that an inquiry
be made as to the omission in the
published copy of his letter, August
It'll last, of some of the kilograms
which made General Crook say, in
referring to the Chiracuhuas pris-
Oners, that they surrendered with
the understanding that 3heiT past
misdeeds would not b8Ypunished.
provided they behaved themselves
in the future; whereas he wrote
that it was with this understanding
on their part. He was thus made
to cOntradict his repeated statement
that he had refused to the Indians
a guarantee Of their safety from
punishment, General Crooks
account Of the matter was
clear to the Secretary of War
and the Secretary Of the Interior.
When here he stated that while he
had made this refusal it was difficult
if not impossible to make the
Indians understand that he could
not control the matter. His state
ment, as written is entirely con-
sistent with what he 8aid here.
This omission, with other changes
of less Importance, doubtless arose
from hasty copying in some distant
Office, as the letter was correctly
transmitted from here. There is the
best authority for stating that both
the war department and Interior
department have the highest con-
tidence in General Crook and are in
complete harmony in wishing and
furthering success in his earnest en-
beavers to put stop to Apache
outrages in Arizona.
