The Maryland Democrats will hold their
State Convention to-day, and there seems
to be a largo area OF gooseHesh among
the Mugwumpe lest the silver plank Ia the

LAND standard. Nor is this the only fear
that possesses their souls The campaign
Of education has not educated the Mary
land Democrats. The Baltimore Sun very
much afraid that the platform will not be
built upon the tariff Issue:

evident. The growth Of the Farmers Al
lance In Maryland does not indicate that
Mr.. CIEvELAND's crusade against silver is
popular there; and the tariff reform views
OF the Democrats OF the State have not been
OF the extremist shade. There, as in the
States further South, the Claimant has lost
ground steadily; and the warnings Of our
Baltimore contemporary show that the
Maryland platform Is not likely to be larded.

The Democracy and the Alliance.

DR.. ]. WILLIAM STOKES, President Of the
OF It's organ, the Cotton Plant, displayed a
curious ignorance OF the principles OF the
Democratic party in his address at the meet
ing o. the State Alliance at Spartanburg the
other day. 1T is strange" he said. THAT
the Democratic party. which benefited most
in the last election by the educational forces
OF the Alliance, and has the least to lose by
its education. should be the most extreme
In it's antagonism to the Alliance"
DR.. STOKES is nominally member Of the
Democratic party. Before the Alliance
economists enriched the world with their
wisdom. he must have depended upon the
educational forces OF that party for
his political enlightenment. II he has
changed until he opposes measures
which invoke the interference and as
distance OF the Government in the business
OF its citizens, there Is still no reason why
he should be surprised that the Democratic
party stands for WHAT has always stood for,
the largest amount Of individualism and the
least OF paternalism. The paternalistic pro-
gramme OF the Alliance Is most repuRnant
to Democratic principles. Many Democrats
in the Southern States have weakly yielded
to the Alliance madness for the indefensible
and rank nationalism OF the Treasury
and land loan plans but the Democratic
party has not yielded. II it should yield, it
would cease to DO the Democratic party. As
long as 1t maintains its name and Its ira
ditions, 1t must oppose paternalism: and
there arc few forms OF paternalism more
selfish and silller than those disclosed in the
nat schemes Of the Farmers' Alliance
The President OF the South Carolina ALL
nnce ought to hire somebody to increase his
educational forces by giving him correct in
formation as to tho creed and continuous
practice Of the Democratic party.
