State Ticket and Platform.

The Democratic State Convention on We'd
nesday nominated excellent candidates and
adopted strong platform, one broad enough
for all Democrats to stand upon.
Mr.. ]. Frank Ford record in the office of
Clerk of the Court of Appeals has been so
efficient and highly satisfactory he was unop-
posed and was nominated by reclamation.
For Comptroller State Senator Thomas A.
Smith, of Caroline, was so largely the choice
of the Eastern Shore, to which section the
nomination was accorded, that his nomina-
ton was made unanimous before the result OF
the first ballot was announced.
The platform reaffirms the principles OF the
party as formulated from the Constitution by
jefferson; declares for honest money, the gold
and silver money of the Constitution !;
denounces the Dingley tariff law as OPP
pressive and iniquitous; sympathizes with
Cuba, while Wellington has led his party into
support of Weyler; charges the Republican
party with passing a crude, unsatisfactory and
unequal assessment law, favoring rich corpor-
ations and expressing the small householder,
with making extravagant appropriations IN
the last Legislature, with neglect of the pub
lie schools, and with the passage of an cleo
ton and registration law that removes the
oath of seeresy as to how voters cast their
ballots.
The Democratic Editors Association, our
readers will remember, have very fully dis
cussed the Republican election and registra-
ton law, showing how, by removing the oath
the ballot clerks, corruption is possible,
and showing that the people were put to an
expense of 500, 900 for new and wholly un
necessary registration, besides personal in
convenience and personal expense.
Read the platform, which will be found in
the proceedings of the State Convention

"a RECKONING FOR THEM ?"
The Republican Governor Of Michi-
gan Criticises The Dingley Law.

DETROIT, Mich, July 23.-The Evening
News publishes an interview with Governor
Pingree, in which he denounces the Dingley
tariff bill. The Governor says that the duty
on hides means an average increase of twenty
five cents a pair on mems shoes. He asserts
that Armour, Swift, Morris and the Libbys
control the hide market and will coin mil
lions out of it.
As to sugar, Governor Pingree said: Il
wish somebody would tell me how sugar
duty that makes people pay more, is going
to benefit them, or how higher price for
sugar is going to bring prosperity. 1t seems
to me the trust Is going to reap all the bene-
fits.
1.-The lumber schedule hits people of mod
crate means the hardest. 1t increases the
price two dollars per thousand Not much
lumber is used these days in business blocks
and fine city residences. It's the farmer and
workingmen who have cause to complain, for
they can't afford brick and stone, and it's all
for the benefit of the few who control the
remaining pine in Michigan and adjoining
States.
81 don't recall that the Dingley bill i'm
poses any additional duties on paintings OF
diamonds. 1t is the necessary commodities
that are to bear the increased taxes. The
promoters of this bill ought to be proud of it.

Greatest of Corporations.

Chicago, July 25.-The Post says: An
industrial combination on a scale which will
mark an epoch in centralizing is promised in
the near future. According to stock-ex-
change gossip the following corporations are
mentioned as likely soon to merge their iden-
tity into one colossal whole;
Standard Oil Company, United States
Leather Company, American Sugar Refining
Company, National Lead Company, United
States Rubber Company, American Tobacco
Company, American Spirits Manufacturing
Company, American Cotton Oil Company,
New York. Chicago and Bay State Gas Com
pany. Total capital, $685., 100000.
To this amount of capital stock must be
added the various sums represented by bonds
of the companies, together with the appre-
citation in value of some of the stoeks-Stand
ard Oil alone representing nearly four times
its nominal face vslue-which will bring the
total value of capital interested to about 81,
O0O, OOO, 900. The guiding spirit in this mann
moth combination is said to be the Standard
Oil Company.

No Currency Legislation.

Last Saturday, just before Congress ad :
iourned. President Mckinley submitted mes
sage urging that special commission be
created "whose duty it shall be to make re-
concentrations of whatever changes in our
present banking and currency laws may be
found necessary and expedient, and to report
their conclusions on or before the first day of
November next" The House Immediately
passed bill creating such commission and
providing for its expenses. In the Senate
the bill was referred, and the adjournment
cut off any consideration until next Deem
Der.
The message, it is generally believed, was
only intended as sop to the gold standard
Democrats, and no congressional action was
exnected

FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR,
PHILIP c. KENNEDY.
The County Ticket.

The Democrat who is not heartily pleased
with the ticket nominated on Monday last
who is not even enthusiastic in its support
is Indifferent to party success. The noml-
nees for Clerk and Register of Wills are the
very strongest at this time that could be NOM
mated. and the other nominations are as
strong as could be made.
From top to bottom the ticket is an excel
lent one. Iemeets the demand for s'new
faces and the nominees are all capable and
popular.
It is ticket made by the representatives OF
the Democratic voters. There were no states,
no dictation and no bossism. The delegates
assembled here resolved to nominate the very
best men to be found, and their nominations
were complete surprise to several on the
ticket In fact there we're no candidates in
the sense of specially contesting for nominal
tions. and there are no special disappoint-
ments. There are those who wonld like to
have been chosen, but all were content to
leave the choice to the best judgment of the
convention.
Following the ADVICE OF lhe ADNoVAih ~
instructions were given to delegates, and all
were free to consult together and act for the
best interests of the party. The convention
went further on the advice Of the ADVOCATE
and called for the services of men without
consulting their wishes or inclinations. This
was time when no Democrat ought to decline
TO obey his party's call, aud the convention
felt at liberty to call upon any man whose
name would lend strength to the ticket
The ticket is conceded to be very strong
one. and we believe that it is no exaggeration
TO declare that the Republicans will not be
able to match some parts Of it.
Pride in a ticket and confidence in It's sue
cess, however, will not win the battle. There
mnst be earnest and enthusiastic work. The
full Democratic vote must be registered and
the full Democratic vote polled. The people
must be aroused to the Importance of the
election. To this end every Democratic voter
should be supplied with the DEMOCRATIC AD-
VocATE and its work oughtto be supplemented
by public meetings and house to house can

The Tariff Issue.

Turn to the first page and read the article
under the above caption. 1t clearly defines the
position of the two great political parties on
the tariff, and removes misconceptions and
false constructions. There are men voting
the Democratic ticket who are in truth free
traders and there are men voting the Repub
lican ticket who are not extreme protection
lists. The views of these men are sometimes
mistaken for the position of the respective
parties with which they affiliate, but they are
not. Read the article closely.
