The outlying camps dedicated to 'favorite

THE MARYLAND DEMOCRACY.
Convention To-Dny-Much silver
sentiment-Gorma vs.. Cowen.

BALTIMORE, June 9.-The Democratic
State Convention will meet at noon to-
morrow at Ford's OperaHouse to elect
four delegates-at-large to the national
convention and adopt a platform.
There will be considerable silver senti-
ment in the convention, although none OF
the leaders seem to think it will be OF
sufficient strength TO do more than kick
I'D a row. However, nearly every Eastern
Shore delegation has white-metal men IN
its makeup, and IL would not be surpris-
ing n they. along with few other agrl-
culturists from Western Maryland, should
force some concession from the sound
money adherents from the cities. The
silver men are tonight loudly asserting
that there will be no mention OF gold IN
the platform, but that instead the nnan-
cial plank of the platform Will be at the
worst a straddle.
Another topic OF interest among all VINO
are talking about the State convention
is whether or not Senator German VIII
allow John X. Cowen, receiver OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
and Germans erstwhile enemy, 10 be
chosen as a delegate-at-large Dig
effort has been made by the Independents
TO force Cowen into the delegation, but
even though a double delegation Is Sc
lected at tomorrow convention, which
tonight seems likely. with half vote
each. Cowen is not likely TO get berth.
John f.. Hurst, who was the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor last fah,
and who has for some time been looked
upon as a certain delegate-at-large 10
Chicago. said to-day that he would not
% IL Mr. COWen was selected.
FIGHT STILL on.
The fight between the regulars and the
independents, which cost the Democrats
the State last fall, seems to be s,ill on,
with the difference that the Independents.
now knowing their power, are biding
their time. and aside from the disposition
TO elect Cowen. awaiting Overtures. II
Mr.. German makes up the slate tomorrow
without regard TO the feelings OF the In
dependents, there will. In all likelihood,
again be a split. which will jeopardize the
electoral vote Of the State at next falls
election.
one OF Mr.. Cowen's supporters. in dis
cussing the situation tonight, said; The
point we make is this Mr.. Cowen is
confessedly one OF the ablest takers on
the money question I'm this country. 1t is
the desire OF the Democrats OF this State
that Maryland should make itself heard
and felt for sound-money, and We can
do IL in no better way than by sending
Mr.. Cowen TO Chicago. II. however, the
petty feelings OF some OF the heeiers who
have. perhaps, been held up TO ridicule
by Mr. Cowen, are TO be allowed TO gov
ern In this matter, then l suppose Mr..
Cowen will have to stay at home for he
has never been popular with them. II

has asked that better quarters be assigned
