Gov. LowNDEs, in a signed state
ment commenting upon the work of
the Republican State Convention
says -
II heartily approve of the platform
adopted to-day by the State Conven-
ton. 1t speaks in no uncertain terms
upon the vital questions that present
themselves to the voters of Maryland
at this time, and what it will do in
the future The promises which it
now makes, will be, if | am elected,
as faithfully redeemed as those made
in 1895. Four years ago the people
of Maryland were ready to trust the
State government to the Republican
party and if they do not wish to re-
turn to the conditions that existed
prior to that time they will support
the ticket nominated to-day

HERE are two paragraphs concern
ing Governor Lowndes from the Bal
timore SUMS editorial on the Repub-
lican nominations which are COM
mended to the consideration of voters:
Gwen the most enthusiastic and
confident Democrats would have pre-
ferred the nomination of some other
Republican, for his name unquestion-
ably carries with it not only the pres
tige of past success, but the guarantee
which is furnished by an official rec
ord of unusual excellence.
sit is not only due to Governor
Lowndes to add that whether elected
or defeated, the popular verdict will
be one of approval as to him person
ally. The bitterest partisans will
concede that his personal record as
Governor has been characterized by
exceptional integrity and public spirit
and that he has well sustained the
dignity and traditions of the high
Office to which he was chosen four
years ago."

THERE will soon be at the disposal
of the War Department military
force of about $4,000 men, and this
large and powerful army may be re-
tanned in the service of the Govern
ment until July 1, 1901, without
change or diminution. New general
officers are to be appointed, the staff
is to be strengthened and the trans
port service increased and perfected,
so that the entire body of nearly 100,
900 men may be kept constantly at
its highest rate of efficiency. The
people will cheerfully pay the enor
nous cost of this extraordinary ac-
cession to our military strength, in
the confident belief that when the
necessity for such a vast army shall
no longer exist the superfluous sol
diers will be quickly returned to pur-
suits of peace. But it would be diff
cult to reconcile this country to a per-
manent increase of the army budget
on lines necessitated by the present
situation. No standing army of 100,-
900 men, or of half that number would
be tolerated by the liberty loving
American people.

THE Republicans and Democrats of
Maryland now have their State tick
cts and platforms before the people,
who must take the choice between
them. AS to the perSOn11dI of the
ticket little need be said. Gov.
Lowndes and Comptroller Goldsbor
ough--each has record which is open
to public scrutiny, while the new man
on the ticket, the Hon. j. V. l.. Find
lay, has reputation for legal skill
and learning, combined with a judic-
ial temperament and a love of fair
play, that fits him admirably for the
responsible position of Attorney-Gen-
eral. On the Democratic side, Messrs.
Smith, Rayner and Herring are gentle
personally. The weak point with
them is that they were nominated by
exactly the same influence-the Cor
n-Raisin influences-that placed
the estimable Mr.. John E. Hurst in
nomination in 1895, Mr.. German hav-
ing shelved Mr.. Thomas &. Hayes
that his plans might be better carried
out. Mr. Hurst's strong personality
was not enough to save him from the
popular upheavel against the ring
four years ago nor do we believe Mr.,
Smiths will sage him from going
down with this same ring" linked
with it as he is, in 1899. The indie
pendent voters of Maryland are not
so blind as certain politicians appear
to believe and that they will turn
their good work of 1895 to naught we
have no fear.
Between the Democratic and Re-
publican platforms there is no choice
for any good citizen. The one weak,
evasive, shambling, seeking amid a
l maze of glittering generalities to say

nothing that would injure the
feelings of any member of the party
and ending with a courageous and
ringing declaration against press CEN
sorship in Manila. For the output of
a convention whose cardinal purpose
was dealing with State affairs it was
a brilliant failure. With Democratic
conventions in other States taking a
firm stand around the banner of free
silver the Maryland platform was
silent, declaring for neither gold nor
silver. How different was the Repub-
lican State platform. Itdeclared that
''all our currency should be made by
law redeemable in gold coin at the
option Of the owner" and to this faith
are pledged 1.-The influence and votes
of the Maryland Republicans in each
House of Congress. There is tan
gibility about that declaration that
will appeal to those lovers of honest
money who see in the reiuvenation
vi GlIC III pll lIlONSlucut Il peril TO LQe
industrial welfare of our country.
The planks favoring honest opposi-
ton to trusts, a continuance of the
non-partisan administration of the
public schools of the last four years,
increase in the salaries of tea3bers,
and giving to1he people "a full ard
unabridged use of the oyster and crab
bottoms in the tide waters of this
State, . will all be found highly accept
able to the voters of Maryland.
Personnel and platforms are all
right so is our record. With har-
mony and hustling all along the line
we will place majority behind Lloyd
Lowndes in November that will ever
stand in the history of the State as a
vindication and appreciation of good
government.

A Very Strong Ticket.

The Maryland Republicans have
placed in the field a very strong ticket.
1t is above criticism. The three can
didates are men of the highest char
acter OF the strictest integrity, and
are well known to all the people of
the state. In making these selections
| the party organization has acted with
the highest wisdom, and its action
! will undoubtedly be approved by the
voters of the state on election day.
| With such standard bearers the Re-
! publicans can go into the field conf
dent of success, knowing that the
people will not listen with patience to
attacks upon their candidates 1t is
| pleasure to vote for such men as
these, pleasure to give an earnest
support to such ticket.
Governor Lowndes, who for a sec
ond time heads the state ticket, has
made an exceptional record as the
chief executive of Maryland. His first
term has been one of hard work, one
of strict devotion to duty, and ope in
which he has given abundant Iaro8f
of his eminent fitness for the high
position. With his administration of
the affairs of this state no fault has
been found-no fault can be found.
The best interests of Maryland have
always been his first consideration,
and the magnificent results achieved
prove how well and how faithfully he
has performed the work entrusted to
his hands.
The nominee for state comptroller,
Mr.. Phillips Lee Goldsborough, has
held that position for the past two
years, and has made record that
does him honor. A young man, he
has come to the front by his merit,
and by that alone. Under his man
agement the finances of the state have
been handled in the best manner, and
the office has been made model. He
has become thorough master of all
the states financial problems, and his
continuance in that position will
mean a further service of the same
character-a safe, conservative, intel
ligent management of all the funds
entrusted to his charge
Mr.. John V. l.. Findlay, the party's
candidate for attorney general, has
long been an acknowledged leader at
the Maryland bar. He is one of the
states ablest and best citizens, man
universally honored and esteemed.
A polished orator, splendid cam
paigner and master of all political
problems, he will make the canvass
an interesting one from the start. For
the highest legal officer of the state
no better choice could have been
made.
Such ticket is bound to win. The
voters of Maryland cannot fail, and
will not fail, to elect it by a rousing
majority.

| The Democratic State Editorial
Association has issued AN Indict-
ment of the Republican Party Before
the Bar of Public Reason" and an
nounces that i'll future contributions
! the allegations there made will be
proved. The association is composed
of the editors of almost all the weekly
newspapers that claim to be Demo
cratic published in the counties of the
State. 1t does not count in its mem
bership either the Baltimore san or
the Baltimore NelCS, the only real
Democratic papers in the State that
do not lick the boots of Arthur p.
German and pay homage to the

The writer of the screed mentioned
must have pretty poor opinion of
public reason in Maryland to address
to it such rot as makes up his first
article. There is not a sentence nor a
line that demands rebuttal on the
part of Republicans. Every assertion
carries its own REPUTATION with it and
the indictment as whole is about
as weighty as the evidence against
poor Dreyfus. If the forthcoming
thunderbolts do no more damage
than that hurled last week, we think
a vote of thanks should be rendered
the Democratic State Editorial Asso-
citation by the Republicans of Mary
land for the efforts of that organiza-
ton to re-elect Lloyd Lowndes Gov
ernor of Maryland. For the editors
individually we express our sorrow
that they should prostitute their col
umns to the publication of such stuff.
Almost any one of them could have
turned out more rational and read
able article than did the man who
was hired to do the work for them.
