The Democrats Of Maryland vindicated
Mr.. German on Wednesday last. They
made him permanent chairman Of the
Democratic State Convention. His mas
ter hand. the Sun says, controlled the
convention from start TO finish. His most
irreconcilable opponents must admit that
he is a leader of men. He reminds us Of
our Mr.. Barbour, who. without appearing
to do so, used to make his hand felt
in every Democratic State Convention
which was held in Virginia whilst he was
at the head Of that party. He seemed 10
have no other object in view than the
welfare Of the Democratic party, ana
never hesitated a moment as to what ne
would advise our conventions to do-tha,

Mr. German has not always received
what seemed to us TO be the treatment
he deserved at the hands of the Mary
land Democracy. But he WILL no doubt
accent his reception and treatment this
week as raising him as high as he ever
was before. and giving assurance to the
Democrats OF other States that he is
worthy OF the honors which Maryland ana
the Maryland Democracy have conferred
upon him.
Mr. German always stands by his
friends. SO his enemies, inside and out

good trait. All good Democrats must ask

s,re 20 know what manner Of man he Is.

Additional significance as 10 the actioh

gested the danger Of arraying in opposi-

the fact remains that the Democratic
party of the State. while giving to the
Legislature a quasi endorsement of its
action in submitting the question to the
people. has seen fit to deny to the pro-

ton, and will permit the vote of the peo-

have pointed out, that the majority rule
IS the very essence Of Democracy. Then
let him look about him, and he will see
thousands upon thousands of conscien-

THE TIMES AND TIE DIsPATCH.


To relieve the anxiety Of the Times
the Dispatch would say TO 1t That, whiie
we regret that the Democrats seem mind
ed 10 commit themselves 10 the Tree
coinage Of silver, independently OF the
action Of other countries, we are not
going TO bolt the party on that account
We never said we would (as the Times

rather than see our party so to pieces in

ernments surrendered to black and

characteristic vehemence and positiveness
that II the Democrats nominated n

lions and convictions of our lives? We
should settle our differences among our
selves. and stand unfinchingly before
the charge which the Republicans are
preparing to make etc, etc. Ana only
n few weeks ago the Times was enthusi-
astically engaged in urging the Demo-
Gratis of Richmond TO take part in the
primary, and cast their lots with the

Better that the Times should 'relapse"

that II should stay in the party to UNI
dermine the efforts Of those who are
teaching that 1t is the duty of Demo
Gratis to abide the results of their pri-
marles. their state conventions. and their

For our own part, while sincerely de-
ploring that the staunton convention
failed to accept our view Of the currency

action until that action IS reversed and

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Next 10 the currency question there was
no subject before the stanton conven-
ton in which the public feels a greater
interest than that Of the proposed con-
stitutional convention. what would be
the action of the party was, of course.
matter of conjecture. There were three
courses open TO it-endorse the call for
the convention, oppose the call, or leave
the matter severely alone. What was ac-
tuaily done, while not exactly either Of
the above suggestions. was practically
declaration to leave the matter TO the
people without endorsement or opposition
from the convention.
IL will be remembered that the State
Republican Convention. which assembled
a short time since at stanton. passed
resolution opposing the movement for
constitutional convention, and arragned
the Democratic majority in the last Gen
eral Assembly for passing the joint reso-
luton submitting the question 10 the peo-
pie.
The Republican convention declared that
the whole movement WAS designed TO de-
priye certain classes OF voters Of their
right Of suffrage and TO make radical
changes In the laws governing the appro-
priations OF money for the support OF the
free-school system. The Democratic con
vention at stanton adopted the following
plank, and IL is the only aliusion TO the
subject In the whole platform:
We denouncc as false and slanderous
the charges made by the Republicans
against the Democrats of Virginia as 10
the reasons which actuated the General
Assembly OF the state IN submitting 10
the people the question OF holding a con-
siitwional convention. We point 10 the
public-school system. to the settlement OF
the public debt and 10 the good viii that
exists amongst the different races and
sections OF the Commonw ealth as evidence
OF the wisdom OF Democratic rule"
From this resolution Il viii be clearly
seen that our convention did not take any
position with reference to the wisdom OF
