RESOLUTIONS.
THE Maryland Democratic Editors,
in convention assembled. desire to give
expression To their recognition of the
fact that the Democratic party in this
State enters upon the present campaign
under most suspicious circumstances.
The patriotic zeal and generous rivalry
existing between the friends of the rep
rcSentativ- candidates whose names
have been mentioned in connection with
the Democratic nominations, manifest IA
spirit of reconciliation and harmony
among once discordant elements that
gives inspiring hope of future success.
and we congratulate the people upon the
prospect of the restoration of good man
agcmcnt in every department of the
State government. The Republican
party having forfeited the confidence of
the citizens of Baltimore, has been
deDoSed of its brief lease of power in
municipal affairs through cordial
reunion of Democrats, and the same
lntiucnce VIII lie potent III the state
campaign, if the ticket selected by the
convention shall deserve the confidence
of the public and the Democratic party
The editors of Maryland pledge their
hearty sympathy aud support to the

licving that the nominees of the con-
vention will be men of such high char
