Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE. Md, May 29.-Democratic
primaries, at which delegates will be elect
ed to the several county conventions. where
delegates to the state and congressional
conventions are to be chosen, will be held
in all the counties in the state tomorrow.
The primaries in Baltimore city will be
held June s, and the state convention will
be held here June TO-
But little interest is manifested in demo-
cratic primaries, and with the exception
of Talbot county, no contests are expected.
With that exception the elections will be
of a purely perfunctory character, and Il
light vote is expected. In Talbot there will
be a contest between the free silver fac
ton and the adherents of sound money
This is the only county in the state where
the silver interests in any wise approach or
ganization, but the gold men are confident
of their ability to suppress whatever SYM
pathy for the white metal which may be
manifested there.

COMMISSIONER kEATINGS CASE.
A Movement Started in the Direction
of His Removal.

hIA REMOVAL.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE. Md, May 29.-Owing to
the alleged errors of Tax Commissioner
Heating in the formation of blanks issued
by him to be used in levying the new assess
ment, movement is under way which may
result in his removal by the board of public
works. Should Mr.. Heating he removed his
successor is likely to be either NJ. Henry
NJ. Bankard or Captain H. Clay NALL, sec
rotary of the republican state central COM
mittee. Mr.. Bankard was q member of the
last house of delegates from Baltimore, and
he and State Senator Herring of Carroll
county are the joint authors of the new as
SeSSmeDt law.
1t is unlikely however. that Commissioner
Heating Will be removed, as it is question
able whether the courts would sustain the
board Of public works should they attempt
to remove him. He enjoys great popularity
here, and could command widespread sup
port should the contemplated step be taken.
He has still two years TO serve.

Unwfsc Policy.

tcldunlOn SpecttlOF.)
Some OF the Democratic journals OF the
State are advocating the propriety OF the
Democratic State Convention, which will
meet here in June, pledging the party I'm
favor OF constitutional convention. This,
we think, would be very unwise. 1t would
be wrong both In principle and in poll
cy--wrong in principle because 1t should
not be made a party question, and be-
cause the delegates TO that convention
Will not be chosen for that purpose,
hence there can be no assurance that
they viii represent the views OF the peo-
pie on. that question; and wrong In policy
because II will not secure the unity Of
the Democrats, who are divided on the
question. whilst It will have the effect OF
consolidating all the elements opposed to
the Democratic party against the call for
the constitutional convention. They will
esteem 1t a party question. supported az
such by the Democrats, and will unite
in oppositiou TO il on that account.
Whilst the opinion is very general that
the Constitution should be amended in
some respects, yet there Is a wide diff
ference Of opinion as TO the mode by
which II should be done. Many believe
that IL would be better TO have II done,
as the Constitution itself provides-viz. {:
by having the Legislature propose the
riseded and desired amendments, then sub
nit those amendments for approval or
rejection by the succeeding Legislature,
and, IL approved, then submitted to the
popular vote, rather than hold state
Convention, which might tear to pieces
the whole Constitution, and probably
adopt a worse one. None are sufficiently
wise TO know, IN advance, what such a
convention In these times OF radical
views might do. Those entertaining this
view-though In favor OF judicious amend
ments-would vote against convention.
There is but little probability that the
vote will be in favor OF the convection
particularly II the Idea prevails that there
is a purpose to restrict suffrage, Tor there
are but few who will vote to disfran-
chise themselves, and those who are least
qualified to vote understandingly are
the most averse 10 surrenderin8 the right
to vote. and for these and other reasons
We do not believe constitutional conver-
ton will be held. Tie mode OF amend
ment by the legislature II not only the
chsaner but the safer mode. The conyen-
ton would cost the State large sum. pro-
bably $4,000, and might do more harm
than good
The apprehension OF the restriction OF
suffrage will, We believe. prevent the call
