Il
democratic party of the nation. must

of deprecated currency and be blow

1--WE do not believe that at this time
on the threshold of q presidential cleo
tion, that support should be accorded
q party organic alton afraid to state it's
at q time VIII en- th e busip ess interests of
the c)uutry are fiourishing, where in
dustral activity is evidenced on every
hand by the employment of capital and
labor, and this, too, brought about by
the adherence of majority of the peo-
pie to the maintenance of the gold
standard of value"
And in concluding the statement of
it's principles, this committee recites
the fact that while its members are,
upon general principles, opposed to
republican success, yet they candidly
endorse the administration of the par
ty In the state. commend its handling
of the state finances, and its efforts at
securing needed reforms. The commit
tee likewise commends the candidates
for the legislature CD the republican
ticket, and expresses confidence in
their purpose to carry out the pledges
of the party.
Gov. Lowndes sums up the situation
in Mary land from a republican stand
point as follows:
EVERY here l have visited the par
ty appears to be in splendid shape and
the republicans throughout the state
appear to be working manfully for the
success of the ticket. have received
assurance that many independent dem
ocrats will support our state ticket,
and am greatly pleased at the attitude
of the gold democrats in Baltimore
City. In southern Maryland there is
considerable enthusiasm among our
people and this is the case in western
Maryland, parts of the Eastern Shore
and in Baltimore city, and the adjoin-
ing territory. think we will win by
q substantial ma ority."
The following are the views OF Col.
Smith. the democratic candidate on
the situation:
1--WE did entertain some anxiety
about Anne Arundel in the beginning,
but here as elsewhere the democrats
are lining up, and 1 have absolutely no
fears about the result. 1 am particu-
larly pleased with the royal support L
am receiving in my own section Not
within my recollection have the East
ern Shore democrats been so firmly
welded as they are now. In not single
county is there trace of disaf1ect1O
Every man is In line and working for
the ticket. Nor am I betray-
assert that q number of republicans
have assured me that they were with
US in this fight From western Mary
land the reports received are more
than encouraging. have yet to hear
of democrat who will not support the
ticket, while I know q number of re-
publicans who will not vote for the
candidates of their party. In southern
Maryland the conditions. are very
similar. Even in the black belt. which
has heretofore been overwhelmingly
repu blicap, reports indicate heavy
democratic gains.
SIN Baltimore city we expect a sub
stantial majority. All democrats are
for the ticket. Prominent fipanciers
and business men with whom l come in
contact and who are clsssed as indepen-
depts, but who believe in democratic
principles, have pledged up their sup
pert. If there is any disaffection In the
racks of the local democracy, l have
yet to be apprised of that fact. We are
all for one, and one for all, aud this be-
ing the case 1 am confident OF decis-
i've victory in November"
Taken as whole the situation in
Maryland appears to be in favor of re-
publican success.
