~The Morrison tariff bill was up in the
House of Representatives on Tuesday, when
motion was made to strike out the enacting clause.
During the discussion SEINE lively scenes were
witnessed and much feeling was exhibited by
both the friends and opponents of the bill. FL
nalIy, upon q vote being taken, the motion pre-
vailed by vote of 159 to 155, and the bill was
killed Forty-one Democrats voted with the Re-
publicans on the motion to strike out, and three
Republicans voted in favor of the bill. This is
thought to be great victory for the Republicans,
who were very jubiant over their success. Three
Maryland Representatives voted with the minor
ity, and three in favor of the motion, viz, Messrs
HoIton and McComas, Republicans, and Mr..
Findlay, Democrat. Already some of the Mary
land Democratic newspapers are accusing Mr..
Findlay of being untrue to his party.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican State convention of Maryland,
which met at Hagerstown last week, adopted the
following platform of principles
Resolved, That the Republicans in Maryland in
State convention assembled, declare their conf
dence in the success of the Republican party of
the nation under the standard bearers to be named
by the Chicago convention of June Sd, 1884, be-
cause of the necessity for continuance of Re-
publican administration of the affairs of govern
ment, which Democratic inability and incapacity
would imperi and because the forces of kepub-
licanism, embodying the intelligence and num-
bers of the people, united in the support of
the principles and policies indispensable to the
republics welfare
RESOLVED, That the wise, conservative and patri-
otto administration of President Arthur commands
our must cordial approval.
Resolved, That the prosperity of our country
requires the fostering protection OF our industries
that the Republican party has always supported
this system of protection and is pledged to main
tain it in the future; the Democratic party is
pledged to financial policy which would be ruin
GUS to the prosperity of our agricultural, manu-
featuring and commercial industries that we
view with alarm the action of the Democratic ma
ority in the present Congress in favor of reckless
and indiscrminate reduction in the tariff; that
any revision of the tariff which may be needed
should be entrusted to the friends and not to the
enemies, of q protective system.
Resolved, That we cordially approve Of the steps
that have been taken in the direction of a reform
of the civil service of the United States, and de-
mand that the reform shall be extended and en-
larged so as to prohibit any effort on the part of
the office holders to control primary elections or
political conventions beyond the exercise of their
individual privileges as citizens.
RESOLVED, That it is the duty of the government
to profit by the experience of other maritime ma
lions, and we favor such legislation will develop
and encourage our shipping interest, and the
establishment of our navy upon basis in keep
ing with necessities and dignity as a maritime
nation.
Resolved, That the adherence of the Republican
party to a sound financial policy demands the i'm
mediate suspension Of the coinage of the standard
silver dnlle- che -at;-a-ert Of tho trade dollaf
and the adjustment of the currency to the stand
ard of gold.
Rcsotrcd That we demand that every citizen
shall have the right to cast free ballot and have
it fairly counted.
The following resolution was also offered and
adopted:
Resotoed, That the Hon. James G. Blaine is the
choice of the Republicans of Maryland for Presi-
dent and while thus expressing our preference, we
pledge the Republican party of Maryland to the
nominee of the Republican national convention.

Ig>The Bank of Commerce, on South street,
Baltimore, has been unfortunate this week. Its
paying teller, Wm w. Massey, who had the I'M
bounded confidence of the officers of the bank,
proved to be a defaulter to large amount, ag-

are responsible for the greater part of this, and
the bank will not lose $4,000. Mr.. Massey
has wife and children, and as he had always
been very exemplary young man his downfall
is deeply lamented. Taking the banks funds to

-The Marine National Bank of New York,
one of the oldest institutions of that city, sus-
pended on Tuesday, causing great excitement.
Among those most affected by the suspension is
the firm of Grant Ward, bankers and stock
brokers, who also suspended. U. s. Grant,
Jr., is an active member of this firm, and his
father, Gen. Grant, is supposed to be very heavy
loser by the failure of the bank. Mr.. Ward, of
the firm of Grant Ward, was intimately con-
nected with the broken bank, and it is thought
he is defaulter to very large amount. Spec
ulations in real estate are thought to have gotten
him into financial difficulties. Much sympathy
is everywhere expressed for Gen. Grant.

From the Reisterstown Voice.
We thank THE BALTIMORE COUNTY UNION for
its kindly notices of u.s. but 1t is just little too
previous in announcing US (if we are the intend
ed new Democratic paper alluded toy as organized
for the express purpose of opposing Mr.. Talbott's
denomination. And in view of the recent hdr
monious proceedings in sundry and various Re-
publican conventions of this State, as well as the
further fact of the accusation that some postmas-
ter purposey and maliciously delayed their pri-
mary election tickets for the late contest it strikes
us that any talk about lively campaigns is slightly
just sightly-malapropos, and as Artemus
Ward says, cit looks like trying to put the boil
on the wrong man."
