gagged I'm an interesting State campaign.
IL will be- remembered that last year
the MARYLAND Democratic state Ccnven-
ton opposed the sentiment OF the party
which found expression In the over
v,heIming adoption OF the currency plank
of the national platform. This year the
MARYLAND Democracy notes with sat
,sfaction that the demand OF more than
10000 Democratic voters expressed at
the polls last November has compelled
President Mckinley and Republican
Congress to urge upon the European
Powers an international
conference 10 arrange for 49, tho
use OF both gold and silver az money OF

The declaration leans toward the ma
tlonaI platform. but Il avoids frank en-
dorsement.
We wish the Maryland Democracy well,
and hope 20 see Mr.. German reelected
10 the Senate over his Republican COM
petltors: but the Maryland example VIII
not be followed by Georgia or any other
state south OF the Potomac river.
The thing that commends itself most
about the Maryland declaration IS that

make this needed reform. We are i'm

"The long delays incident TO trials Of

they cause a loss OF confidence In the
minds of law-abidlng citizens, that often
