THE MARYLAND DEMOCRATS.

The Maryland democrats are more en-
phatic in their condemnation of Senator
German than their Ohio brethren were of
Brice in their state convention. The Car
roll county convention on Monday read
the riot act to the senator in plain En-
glish. It not only declared in favor Of
the election of senators by direct vote
of the people. but also recorded its dis
approval of Maryland's senators as fol-
lows:
We hereby record our disapproval of
the action Of the senate in ENGRAVING on
the Wilson bill legislation in the inter
est Of trusts and monopolies. and we es-
pecially repudiate the course of Senators
! German and Gibson therein, and declare
that they are unfit tc longer represent
the democracy of Maryland or the coun-
try in the national Legislature.
And, moreover, the convention did not
limit its disapproval to Gorman's action
on the tariff question. 1t went further
and said of him in connection with state
politics:
And we further repudiate German
methods and Gormanism in this state
troll their own affairs, and are undemo-
cratic, unpatriOtic. and if allowed to be
continued, will result in disaster to the
party. There must be no step backward.
and the democrats of Carroll promise
hearty cooperation with President
Cleveland in redeeming the party
pledges. and as guarantee of their fidelity
offer to the democracy of this congress
sional district as a fitting nominee David
n. Henning of Westminster, an original
Cleveland supporter at the national o5lI-
ventOn of 1884 a firm adherenU ever
since, and one of the most earnest and
advanced Of tax reformers, and to cast
their votes at Towson for no one who
does not indOrse these declarations.
The fight between the Cleveland demo-
Gratis and the German democrats is evil
IDENTIFY on in Maryland, and on to stay.
The Carroll county convention gave the
fullest Endorsement to the president in
it's tariff plank, which is as follows:
The democrats of Carroll county in con-
vention assembled again assert their faith
in the wisdom, prudence and transcend
ent ability of Grover Cleveland, and
stand with him in his efforts to eradicate
the last vestige of protection from the
statute books. While the new tariff law
is a long step away from McKinleyism,
and will result in lower prices for cotton,
wooden and silk goods, for iron and steel
manufactures, for tin and binder Irvine
and various other articles of prime ne
cessfty, still ii does not fulfill the COM
plete measure of tax reform promised
by the democratic party and expected
by the people. and the contest must be
waged until taxation shall be levied for
revenue only, and be so adjusted that
trusts and monopolies shall be no more.
1t was not to be expected that a policy
of thirty years growth could be absolute
| " reversed all at once. but, having laid
the foundation for constitutional tariff
for revenue only, It will be easy in the
| future 10 eradicate whatever Of protec-
ton remains by special legislation
This is sound doctrine and it is the
position Of the democratic party through
out the country. 1t is a position that the
people Will indorse. McKinleyism is dead
in principle. There remains only the
work OF cleaning up its remains unless
the people should foolishly give it a new
lease of life by restoring the protection
party to power
