REPUBLICANS NAME
TICKET IN MARYLAND
Efforts Are Directed Toward
Germans Defeat.
DENOUNCE HIM AS BOSS
ADOPT PLATFORM THAT SCORES
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Baltimore, Nd, Aug. 1.-THE Repub-
lean state convention held today in this
city placed in nomination the following
state ticket:
For state observation-disclosures s.
Plat of Baltimore.
Clerk of the court of appeais-Thom-
as Parran of Calvert county.
Both nominations were made by ac-
clamatiOn. no other names coming be-
tore the convention. Interest, there
fore, centeTed mainly in the platform
and the speeches, all of which teemed
with denunciaJiOn of Democracy in
general and former Senator German in
particular.
The whites supremacy issue raised
DIV the Democrats in the platform
adopted by them at last weeks con
Vention was ignored in the decIara ton
upon which the Republican candidates
viii stand. but it came in for unfavor-
able mention in the speeches. Phillip
Lee GOldsbOrough, chairman of the Re
publican state central committee, indi-
1 Gated clearly the course TO be pursued
by his party in the coming fight with
regard to this issue in his opening ad-
dress to the convention.
TO the cry that this is a white mans
state, said he, I'VE answer that the
negro DOGGY will scare no man. 1t
is disgusting. but humorous; it is a
The suggestion that more than so per
cent of the white population of the
state is IN jeopardy from any stand
point, from the less than 20 per cent of
negro population, is an insult 10 a
brave and intelligent people, who are
justly proud of the glory of their state.
There has never been a time when
there has not been a white mans gov
eminent in Maryland, and as the per
centage of colored people has steadily
decreased in the state each decade since
1910. when it was 1922, to the present
time. when it is but 17.1S per cent, the
puerility and absurdity of crying aloud
white mans government is appar-

The Platform.
The platform is the work of United
States Senator McCOmas and Phillip
Lee GOldsbOrOugh, chairman Of the
state central committee, who is re-
garded as a promising candidate for the
seat of Senator Wellington, in the event
OF Republican success. Unlike the
Democratic declaration of principles
adopted last week, much stress is laid
upon national issues. The administra-
ton of President Mckinley is heartily
endorsed; the policy of the Republican
party upon the tariff, the currency and
other vital question of national moment
are vigorously commended, while that
Of the Democrats OF the state is quite
as vigorously denounced. The plank
which especially refers to Mr.. German
is as follows;
I'VE appeal to all good ictizens to
unite in defeating the selfish political
bosses in their conspiracy, begun with
the extra session, to perpetuate them
selves and their methods, by One-sided
elections. and to thwart the first pur-
pose of that conspiracy by defeating
the election 10 the United States senate
of the Democratic leader, who dictated
the disfranchisement election law TO
serViIe assembly. Their victory would
again fasten upon our state the reign
of corruption and violence OverthrOwn
in 1895, and enable them to entrench
themselves for a generation behind a
far worse disfranchising election law
than the un-American law we are
pledged to repeal.
IF we succeed we viii defeat the
election to the United States senate Of
a man whose views on tariff and
finance fluctuate with political eXigen-
cies. who is stable only in unvarying
control of the Democratic party ma
