Indications in Maryland Are Strongly That Way.
Baltimore, May 28.—Complete returns from the Democratic primaries, which have now been held in seventeen of the twenty-three counties in Maryland, show that unless a change of front occurs before June 5. the day set for the state convention. the delegates in favor of a Bryan instructed delegation will control that body.
All the eastern shore as well as the northern counties favor an instructed delegation. but while the free silver sentiment also strongly pervades those sections of the state the delegates to the state convention will be satisfied with instructing for Bryan and allow the regular organization managers their way in the matter of the platform.
The primaries in Baltimore will be held next Thursday. In two of the three districts the Bryan Chicago platform men will elect their delegates. The organization managers. it is stated, will avoid a fight so far as instructing the delegates to Kansas City. but they will do all in their power to prevent any platform declaration in favor of silver.
