A SUCCESSOR TO DE APPOINTED TO JUDGE VIII
SON, ONE TO BE ELECTED AND Mr. ooRmAN TO
BE SENT BACK TO THE UpPER HOUSE OF CON-

Special Correspondents to The Evening Star
BALTIMORE, Nov. Is. 1891.
Now that the election is over and the sessions
Of Congress and the Maryland legislature are
close at hand, the senatorial situation becomes
question of leading interest and importance.
The death Of Senator Wilson has brought about
an unusual condition OF affairs and makes this
2 matter this year of three-fold interest. in
volving, as it really does, three United States
sonatorships.
SENATOR COLEMAN TO BE IE-ELEcTED.
Senator German viii, Of course, be reelected
by q unanimity never surpassed aEd rarely, if
ever, equaled in legislature of Maryland or
any other legislature. The formality OF q
caucus will be dispensed with and he Will by
reclamation be declared the choice of the peo-
pie for a third term from March 4. 1893. Sem
ator German has already been unanimously
and tumuituously nominated by the Maryland
democracy in their state conven-
ton last summer and IN every
county convention in the state and
the nomination was ratified in such way Oh
election day as leaves the legislature nothing
but to invest the peoples Will with constitu-
tional requirements, and places Mr.. German
on higher pinnacle than he has ever YET
reached in all his wonderful poiitica. career.

meets Gov. Jackson will appoint a successor to
Judge Wilson to take his seat when Congress
meets on the It'll of December. The Senator
appointed by the governor VIII not be

plete the term. Judge wilson died last
February, little more than year after he had
| been reelected by the last legislature for full
term from March last. ana a few days be-
fore the expiration OF the last Congress.
Inc time was SO short and there Was SO
little necessity for filing the vacancy that Gov.
Jackson and the party leaders did not think 1t
! important to appoint Senator for the unex-
plred term of that session.
There Is scarcely doubt that Gov. jackson
will appoint Hon. Robert F. Brattan Of Somer-
set county, and president of the state senate at
the last session of the legislature to tnke Judge
Wilson place when Congress meets. Senator
Gorman and the party managers are DESTROYS
