to the Herald quotes Marquis Ito as de-

cratic Convention.
THE CURRENCY QUESTION VERY
GRACEFULLY DODGED.

PIatformt Declares Democrats Believe in
Honest Money AS "They Always Did"--
The DingIey Tariff characterized as
Every Odious Measure"
Baltimore, July 2S.-Harmony of the
old fashioned kind prevailed at the
Democratic state convention here today
and it was clearly demonstrated that
United States Senator German still has
his hand on the lever that controls the
movements Of the organization. The fol-
lowing state ticket was nominated: For
comptroller, Thomas A. Smith Of Caroline
county; for clerk of the court of appeals,
j. Frank Ford, St. Mary's county.
The committee took long time to de-
liberate and at the end Of two hours re-
turned and presented platform devoted
largely to state questions which was read
by Senator German as chairman.
The resolutions declare that the funda-
mental principles of Democracy remain
unchanged; that the Democracy Of Mary
land believe now and always have be-
lieved in ''honest money!" the gold and
silver money of the constitution and the
coinage of both metals without discrimi-
nation against either, into standard
dollars of final payment and redemption,
and asserts that the recent action of
President Mckinley in asking for cur
rency commission is the result of the de-
mand of more than six and one-half
millions Of Democratic voters expressed
at the polls in the last national election.
The Dingley tariff is termed more
odious measure than the Mckinley act of
1890, and it is asserted that it will be
more signally condemned in 1898 than tho
