Clear the Decks for Action.

The Washington Post gives the follow
ing sound and Timely advice which we
heartily recommend to the consideration
of Democrats of Charles county. The por-
zion relating to the formation of clubs is
especially worthy to be acted on:
The National Democratic convention
has met, done its work and done it we'll
The candidates meet all our requirements
as Democrats. are honest and capable and
every way worthy of our cordial support
The platform appeals to the people in
every line. 1t is Democratic to the core
and places the the party boldly and plain
ly upon the broad plane of governmental
and revenue reform. No fault can be
found to its II terances and no objection
can be made by Democrats to the candi-
dates selected. The names Of Cleveland
and Hendricks are synonymous with vic
tory and it lies with the Democracy of the
country to make that victory as trium-
plant us possio'e. The nominations have
met with an enthusiastic response from all
parts of the country and with the proper
work on the part of Democratic leaders,
there will be no doubt OF d. nocratic
victory in November The selection of
MIR. Hendricks as Vice President gives the
people an opportunity to right the wrong
of 1876, and to place the man they fairly
elected TO that office in the position he was
chosen to till
Next to Tilden and Hendricks the tick
ct of Cleveland and Hendricks appeals to
the patriotism and sense of Justice of the
American people. They are the tesatees
of the old lCket and stand ready To carry
out those plans of governmental reform laid
down by Mr.. Tilden and defeated bv the
great fraud upon the American people. con
Ceived and carried out 10y the Republican
party. To the readers W look for hearty
cooperation in this campaign and we cal,
upon them to enlist with US at once 10
carry forward the good work. Form your
clubs in every township, appoint your
comml tee, arrange II no d meetings and
circulate Democratic documents among
those not already thoroughly supplied.
We have not time this week To more tnan
refer briefly to the resu Is of the Conven,
ton, but it will be eminently satisfactory
we know. and we heartily cnngratuli {
our readers upon its action.
Let every Democrat respond with three

The Republican and Independent voter

The Republican and Independent voters
of New York State and city and the States
of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut
Massachusetts and other Eastern and Mid
die States had conference in New York
City on Tuesday. They adopted an able
address to the country in which they de.
nounce Blaine as unfit to fill the Chief Ex-
ecutive Office of the country, and cordial
ly endorse Governor Cleveland as in every
way worthy of the high trust and tender
him their earnest support. We shall en-
deavor to lay this address before our read
ers next week.

The Republican national committee
have decided to establish subcommittee
in Washington, whose duty it will be to
collect money for campaign purposes
The members of the subcommittee will
not be in any way connected with the
government service, and thus, being ex-
empted from the operations of the civil
service law, they will extend their work
in all directions. Government officials
will not be assessed, but it is understood
that if any one makes voluntary contri
button the transaction will be considered
private and confidential At the same
time it is safe to presume that if these pri

Some of our readers have expressed
considerable curiosity to know the text OF
the tariff plank of Gen. Buffers platform
upon which he asked vote by States and
for which Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana,
voted. Ben's platform" did not find its
way to any extent into the public prints,
but we give herewith his tariff plank as
taken from recent issue of the New York
Sun. Here it is:
Resolved, That no taxes, direct or indirect,
can be rightfully imposed upon the people, ex-
cept to meet the expenses of an economically
administered government. To bring taxation
down to this point is true administrative re-
venue reform.
Resolved, That the people will tolerate direct
taxation for the ordinary expenses of the Gov.
ernmant only in case of dire necessity of war
Rosolued, Therefore, that the revenue neccs-
sary for such expenses shall be raised by
customs duties upon imports after the manner
of our fathers.
Resolved, That in levying such duties two
principles should be carefully observed:
l. That all materials used in the arts and
manufactures and the necessaries of life not
produced in this country shall come in free,
es high as possible up to the collection point.
2. That in imposing customs duties the law
must be carefully adjusted to promote Ameri-
can enterprise and industries, not create monop-
oles and to cherish and foster American labor
It must be admitted that there is little
material difference between this, and the
tariff plank of the Democratic platform,
from which Gen. Butler alone of the COM
mittee of resolutions dissented. The only
difference which can be perceived upon
any material point is that the Generals
second resolve" probably implies re-
peal of the internal revenue laws, while
the regular plank sanctioned the contin-
uance of that tax and the devotion of the
proceeds to the remaining burdens of the
war. This implication is, however, re-
mote and obscure. and it is not probable
from the Generals known views that he
so intended it. It is difficult, therefore,
to assign any other motive for the Gener-
ais tariff plank than his inordinate desire
for notoriety. With the exception noted,
the Generals tariff plank is only perspi-
cuous and lawyerlike Interpretation of the
rather prolix tariff plank of the platform.

Senator A. P. German authorizes the
statement that he is not a candidate for
the craftsmanship of the national Demo
cratic committee. He will not accept the
appointment should it be rendered him.
His duties as chairman of the COMPRESSION
al committee are sufficient, and he has
ample work to do. Senator Barnum, the
present chairman, it is thought, will net
accept on accoun. of ill health, and it is
believed the chances of ex-senator Wal
lace are best for the place.
