THE SIXTH DISTRICT.
Democrats VIII Insist on the Re-
domination of Mr. Nc
al q


domination of Mr. Mo
Kaig.
from the Baltimore Sunday News9
Sixth district Democrats who
have been in town during the week
say that the almost unaniNous SEN
timent among their people is in
favor of the denomination of Gen.
W. M. McKaig, Notwithstanding
his declination in advance of the
convention. These gentlemen de-
clare that Mr.. McKaig has not lost
any of his old time popularity, bat
that, on the contrary, his record in
Congress for the past two terms
that he has served has tended to
increase his strength, and the fact
that Senator German has relieved
him of all responsibility in the dis
tribution of the federal patronage
has prevented his mourning the
odium and hostility which always
result from the division of the
spoils. The general impression is
that Mr.. McKaig will accept If he
is nominated unanimously, and that
the latter will be done when the
convention meets IN Hageryqwn in
September.
The opposition to the nomina-
ton of Mr.. George L. Wellington
by the Republicans of the Sixth
district seems to have almost died
out during the past few days. In
deed, from the start all prospect of
defeating Mr.. Wellington has APP
peared futile to anyone at all fami-
liar with Republican politics in the
Sixth. The sub Treasurer has had
with him the entire Republican
party organization, not only of the
district, but the State as well, and,
in addition, nearly all the promin-
ent men of the party have been
anxious to see HIM again their nom
inee. The men who have for
years controlled the destinies Of
their party IN that section have
been for Wellington in no uncer-
tain way. The opposition to him
has been spasmodic, and has now
apparently died out. MIR. Yelling
ton will retire from office as AS
sistant Treasurer on Saturday next
after four years service, and give
place to Judge Hammond, His
conduct of the sub-Treasury has
been such as to commend him to
all classes OF the business commun-
ity, and bankers and Others have
expressed regret at his prospective
retirement.
The appointment Of Mr.. BOYLE
as postmaster at Westminster and
the turning down of Mr.. Wander
ford, editor Of the Adu0cate, is an
other evidence of the ingratitudo of
some Maryland politicians, which,
in this instantce, particularly hard
to understand. Mr.. an&effe4d,
like his father before him, has al
ways been regular OF the regulars
and has invariably supported Sena-
tor German in all things and at all
times. Two years ago, however,
he opposed the nomination of Mr..
Talbot for Congress, and now he
is earnestly supporting Governor
Brown Tor denomination. Hence
he is no longer in favor with the
powers in control. 1t has been a
great surprise, however, to many
people to learn that Collector
Shaw, whose friend Mr.. Wander
ford has always been in all the
aspirations of that gentleman for
many years Endorsed Mr. Boyle.
1t is understood that. Mr.. Wander
ford was offered in place of the
postoifice mental position around
the capitol at Washington, which
he spurned, remarked that he was
accustomed to help make United
States Senators, not wait on them. >
