German Wins.

The Democratic State Convention
of Maryland, which assembled in
Baltimore on the 3lst ult., nomi-
mated John +. Hurst, Of the dry
goods firm of Hurst Il Purnell, for
the office OF Governor. Mr.. Hurst
was Senator Germans candidate and
with the support Of the Senator had
no trouble in securing the nomina-
ton. German seems to have abso-
lutte control of the machine in
Maryland, so much so that no man
need offer for an Office i'm that State
without his consent. He carried
every county in the State but four
and these were Republican.
The platform makes no allusion at
all to Senator German, but this
seems to have been i'm accordance
with his wishes and direction, as he
declared that his course at Washing
ton was not an issue in the cam
paign. referring to the President
and his course in dealing with the
money question, the platform de-
clares: 1.-THE representatives of the
Democracy Of Maryland, in State
Convention assembled, proclaim
their firm adherence to the princi-
pies declared in that platform, C1S92)
and their undated confidence in the
wisdom, patriotism, and fidelity of
President Cleveland.
We heartily commend his admin
istration for the vigor and success
with which it has met and overcome
the many and great difficulties
which the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison and the Republican
party left it to deal with, and es-
pecislly for the courage, sagacity,
and ability which it has displayed in
its determined and resolute efforts to
rescue the country from the deplora-
bic evils of fluctuating, unstable,
and debased currency, and to crush
the pernicious financial heresy of tho
free coinage of silver at the ratio OF
l6 to l."

It's garden. One has, as some fell

bill would not raise revenues suffi-
cient for the support of the Govern
ment. Figures show the utter fall
sity of this pretension and demon
strate clearly the great superiority
of the Wilson bill as a revenue pro-
drcer over the Mckinley bill which
it displaced, The total tariff rove
nues raised by the Mckinley bill
from October 1913 to August '94, both
inclusive, was Sll2,641 ,SS3.57. The
revenues raised by the Wilson bill
from September '94 to July '95 both
inclusive, was Sli5, 1852, 800 sc, show
ing that for period of eleven
months the average revenue un-
der the Mckinley law was $1O,24O,-
lT.24, whilst for similar period,
under the Wilson bill, the average
per month was 1880, 21O.96, or
more than three millions month in
favor of the Democratic measure
1t is said, too, that the figures will
show that the largest revenue comes
from articles on which the tariff has
been most materially reduced. This
proves the truth of the Democratic
position that low tariff produces q
larger revenue than a high tariff
whilst at the same time it Lighters
the burden of taxation upon the
people. The argument then il
clearly in favor of the Democratic
measure, and shows not only thai
the Republicans raised a false alarm
but that their calamity howl was
absolutely senseless and without
foundation.
