MaryIand's Representative or the Demo
cratic Electoral Ticket Withdraw
Cannot Support the Chicago Platform.
BALTIMORE, July 21.-- Randolph
Barton, who headed the Democratic
electoral ticket as named by the late
State Convention, to-day withdrew
as Maryland representative on that
ticket, and will support the Republi-
can nominees. In a letter to Hon.
Hattersley w Talbot, Chairman of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, Mr.. Barton says:
''It might be possible for me to
dismiss the resolutions aimed at the
Supreme Court and President Cleve-
land and the Civil Service law as
mere generalities, intended to soothe
the spleen of such men as Tillman
and Altgeld, but to the dangerous
error of the money resolution I find
it impossible to reconcile myself.
''I can think of no class of our
people, from the day laborer to the
capitalist, who will not suffer dias-
trously by the delusion that imitation
brings prosperity. do not wish to
identify myself with political par
ty urging the measures offered to
the people in the Chicago platform.
81 am most reluctantly forced to
the conclusion that Mckinley and
Hobart at this time represent the
best interests of the people, and l
shall vote for them"
Mr.. Barton is the senior member
of the well known law firm of Bar
ton g. Wilmer, of this city.

Congressman Hart, of the Eighth
District, one of the two Democrats
who were elected in this State two
years ago, tumbles into the support
of Bryan and Sewall and their plat
form of Populism and Anarchy with
great alacrity. He has been in
Washington to secure the circula
ton in his district of literature in
favor of free silver, free riot and
the reputation of honest debts
1t is very well known that Con-
gresham Hart expects a renomina-
ton at the hands of the Democratic
party in the Eighth District, which
is composed of the counties of North
ampton, Carbon, Pike and Monroe.
The Democrats in these form a por-
tion of the great party organization
which, in State convention at Allen
town only a few weeks ago put itself
on record in behalf of honest money.
1t was a decisive declaration which
there was no mistaking, and was an
honor and a credit to those who sup
ported and passed it. 1t was an act
of courage intended to put the Dem
ocratic party of Pennsylvania in line
with all honest and law-loving peo-
pie willing to respect the obligations
of public and private contracts and
the decisions of the courts.
But Congressman Hart has bolted
that platform. He has bolted from
the sound position taken by the
Democracy of Pennsylvania and
placed himself under the red flag of
dishonest money, free riot and gen.
eral anarchy that waves above the
Chicago platform upon which Bryan
and Sewall were nominated. The
Democrats of the Eighth District can
renominate Mr. Hart only by bolt
ing themselves and accepting all
that the Chicago platform means,
including it's raid upon law. the
courts, good order, and public and
private integrity. The district is an
Intelligent one. 1t has always been
Democratic, though the majority by
which Mr.. Hart secured his election
two years ago was very narrow.
None of the people in any of the four
counties can afford to be represented
in Congress by a man whose vote
would be given to bring upon the
country the ruin proposed in the
Chicago platform.
If renominated Congressman Hart
would most likely be beaten, as he
would deserve to be- But the fact
remains that the Democrats of the
district cannot afford to indorse by
a nomination any one who occupies
the position he does. 1t would be
humiliating to the whole State if in
any district a regular Republican or
Democratic nomination could be
given any one standing upon the
Populist- Anarchist platform of Bry-
an and Sewall. There is no danger
whatever of any such nomination by
Republicans it remains to be seen
what the other party will do.
This is matter in which every
self respecting citizen is interested
Mr.. Hart deserves to be retired. If
he is not dropped by the Democratic
convention he will be by the votes
of honest men, Democrats and Re
publicans alike.-Philadelphia Press
