With regard to the delegates elected
to the National Democratic Conven-
ton the Baltimore Herald says:
1.-THE logic of the situation is that
while the Maryland delegates will, in
all probability, cheerfully support
Cleveland as the most available can
didate, they are prepared to champion
German should the outlook at Chicago
warrant the movement.
