declaration Of principles Of the Democ-
lrlcy Of Maryland as - platform OIL
words a careful scrutiny Of the doc
ument iis-if discloses no remedy for ex
isIiDg Iuhlis lyils, not even useful
suggestion that might lead to a romely
To an ordinarily intelligent person, be
he professional or labcring man, the
impression the platform conveys. besides,
nauseaiing addition Of Senator Cor
man. is Of an effort to dodge every local
issue aud to couceal'ev national issues
IN wilderness Of verbiage This was
probably done, not in Difference to Re
publican sentiment. but with the hope
Of deserving or allnring intelligent Dem
ocrats who had plainly shown signs of
rcstlessness and discomfort.
Ii is to these intelligent Democrats
that the Republican platform directly ap
peals The Democratic instrument is an
insult to their common sense. 1t infers
that they can be hoodwinked like little
children, just as many have been in the
past, that by Civ ng hem a rattle their
minds will be diverted from the pressing
needs of the hour and that the public Of
Maryland can be prevailed upon to ac-
rpt bottle o. uncertainty mixed milk
and water as subs iture for the sub
.tautial ailment which the State must
ave if it would maintain its present
ranl, in the sisterhood.
The Republican platform, on the con
trary, speaks out Clearly aud boldly
upon the questions which now so pain
fully interest the people. Silver is not
galvanized t. make it look like gold. -
What is good in the issue Of this metal
is poiated out. The law passed by the
last Congress makes ample provision for
all the uses that can be safely made Of it.
To do more would be to rob the wage
Garner for the benefit of the speeulator,
and precipitate financial ruin There is
no uncertain ring about thin. The
clause with regard to tobacco foreshad
ows the redemption Of the entire tobacco
growing region The Republican party
propo'es to ask Mr. Blaine to apply his
reciprocity policy to Maryland tobacco
sold abroad, and if this can be accom-
pllshed any man in Southern Maryland
can raise that commodity with great
profit The phenomenal success of the
Secretary in other quarters is an earnest
Of what may be done in this direction.
The provisions of the Republican plat
form with regard to taxation, the cleo
sion laws and the faithful administra-
ton of public affairs, are all simple, in
telligent aud practicable.
The instrument speaks as If it meant
business. 1t speaks to sensible men in
the language used by them in their or
diulry intercourse. There is no attempt
to lie anything, but an cvidcn. a fpre
hension of the imminent necessities of
the public, and determination to meet
them in practical manner. When to
this sdled the list of candidates nomina-
ted on that platform, citizens of all
shades Of political opinion must conclude
I'll at the Republican party is thoroughly
sincere and bent upon carrying out It's
promises The way is thus open for the
redemption Of the State, and there can
be no further excuse for mistakes.

The Republicans scoop in the
Alliance.


No good man since 1860 has doubted
that Heaven is on the side Of The Repub-
ioan party in this country.
Heaven enabled that party to save
the country, to Introduce specie pay
ments. to scatter plenty through the
land by means Of the wage-earners pro-
tective taiiff. and do many other blessed
things which they could not have done,
owing to the opposition Of the Demo
crals, except for the blessing Of Heaven.
Now The Republican party is the FIRST to
avail of the great natural truth that rain
may be induced whenever needed by
certain natural laws. the knowledge of
which has lain dormant until the Re-
publican party discovered and applied
them. Thus the Republican party has
become the creates; friend the farmers
have ever had Whenever they need
rain in order to fertilize the earth and
make her yield them her increase, they
only need to apply to the Republican
party and they will ges it wherever they
want it.
OF course the Farmers Alliance votes
will go with the Republicans from the
moment they fully see this great trath
in operation. The Democrats appeal to
the baser instincts of IN mankind, but the
Republicans have annexed the gentle
and fructifying clouds and rain, and
these represent the political annex of the
Farmers Alliance Heaven is on the
side of peace and plenty, and the Repub-
lean party is the agent for dissemina-
ting these benefits to the farmers

Attack on the jury system.


The American Bar Association at it,
reccut annual session in Boston made
an attack on trial by jury. Eminent
hwycrs argued for and against the pres
ent system, and after long discussion
the association decided to postpone furth-
er consideration of the question until
its next annual meeting. Mr., G. C.
Lancaster, formerly of this county, is a
member of the association and took part
in the debate, The following IN refer
ence to the views ' e III fsaifcafsS5jf r Is
from he n Y. Sun:
There is no general or widespread
lack of confidence in the system of trial
by jury, or desire TO change it, The
.demlnd for its abolition or any substan-
tial alteration in it comes for the most
part from men of comparatively little
practical experience in jury trials. 1t
has no support among the people at
large, Notwithstanding the ridiculous
declaration Of Nj. Charles G. Lancaster
Of Washington, in the course of the de-
bate in Boston on Thursday, to the eff
feet that the business community alrea-
dy demand the abolition Of the jury sys-
tenn in civil eases. aud that within five
years the jury system in criminal eases
will be practically abandoned. Tins
gentleman cannot have very accurate
knowledge Of American constitutional
law or Of methods Of litigation through
sut the Union "
