MARYLAND DEMOCRATS,
John Walter Smith Nominated for
Governor.

BALTIMORE, Aug. .2.-The Demo
cratic State Convention, which was
held in this city to-day, resulted in the
nomination of the following ticket:
For Governor, John Walter Smith of
Worcester County.
For Attorney General, Isidore Rayner
of Baltimore
For Comptroller, ]. N. w. Herrin of
Carroll County.
The convention was unusually har-
monious, and all the nominations were
made by reclamation, Edwin Warfield,
Mr.. Smiths principal opponent, with
drawing at the last moment and plac-
ing the successful candidate in nomi-
nation.
That portion of the platform which
refers to National issues is as follows:
I'VE insist that in time of war, as
| we'll as of peace the freedom of the
press shall be preserved, and that the
right of the people to criticise the policy
and conduct of the Administration shall
be demanded at all hazards.
mo deadlier blow can be dealt to
American liberty than the suppression
by an abuse of the executive power of
the free utterance by American free
men of their sentiments upon matters
of public concern affecting the welfare
of the people, and we denounce as dan
gerous and indefensible all efforts to
interfere with or abridge this sacred
right.
I'VE declare our unalterable opposi-
ton to the creation and maintenance of
large standing army in time of peace,
and We insist upon the supremacy of
the civil over the military authority,
and we demand the strictest economy
in the collection and disbursement of
the public revenues.
I'VE believe in the time-honored doc
trine so earnestly impressed upon us by
the Fathers of the Republic of peace,
commerce and honest friendship with
all nations, entangling alliances with
none.
I'VE view with alarm the multiplied
ton over the land of such gigantic, in
dustrial and commercial trusts, the
outgrowth of Republican legislation as
stihe competition, threaten popular
government, increase the cost of liv-
ing and curtail the individual rights of
the people, and we favor vigorous
measures by the States and by Con-
gress to repress this great and growing
evil
The platform declares that the Re-
publican party is responsible for the
numerous violations of the law on the
part of the negroes, because the latter
believe they will be afforded protection
and immunity from punishment by rea-
son Of their votes, which the platform
asserts are almost solidly for the Re-
publican ticket

resentatives present.
Sigmund Wormser of the California
Wine Association stated that he
thought the time was too short to
form a combination, as only about

Barton Estate Company, then sur
prised the growers by making an offer
to buy all sweet wine grapes at $14

entire crop, but the majority held
back Mr.. Trevelyan stated that all
