The movement in favor of a
short national campaign has become
quite widespread, and Chairman
W. f. Harrity now announces that
he IL in favor of it. He thinks
that the Democratic convention
should be held as late as circum-
stances will allow and the decisive
work be begun Immediately. A
campaign of three months would
probably be sufficient for a discus
sion of the issues, which are mostly
well understood already, and there
need not necessarily be the un-
steadiness of business of which the
commercial interests of the country
have made so much complaint.

Partridges are Scarce,

A we'll known sportsman states
that partridges are very scarce this
fall. Last winter was especially
severe on the partrldges and thous-
ands were frozen and starved to
death during the blizzard, and by
the ground being covered so long
with snow, preventing them from
getting food or cover. Should
what remains of them be hunted
and killed this fall, the fine bird
may be totally exterminated or at
least so thinned out, that it will
take years for them to increase in
sufficient numbers to afford sport
to the huntsmen.

Mr.. HamilI Writes a Letter.

The following letter from Gilmor
S. Hamill, of Oakland, appeared in
Tuesdays Baltimore Neavs:
| certainly agree with all good
Democrats that something will have
to be done to renovate the broken
and demoralized condition of our
party in this State, and to that end,
it seems to me, a convention should
be called at as early day as posi-
BILE, to be composed of non-politi-
clans, but sound Democrats not
representing any particular element
and let this convention issue an
address to the party of the State
reciting the Importance of new
leadership and of all good Demo-
Gratis getting together, for the well
fare of the party in the future. 1
am willing to do anything in my
power to accomplish this much-de-
sired end. G.. S. HAMILL.

A Coal Combinatio

A possible combination among
the soft coal operators of Western
Pennsylvania and the Cum berland
region of Maryland is attracting at
tentiOn.
On beng asked about the move
ment Major Alexander Shaw said
"it is a move toward an equitable
ad iustment of railroad rates on coal
as the cutting of rates has put the
trade in a demoralized condition.
So far the movement is in an indie
finite shape
1t is said that the combination
is to provide for the allotment of
tonnage much like that which is
supposed to prevail in the anthra-
cite trade. The report which is
given as an outline of the project
states that the railroads in the move
ment are the Pennsylvania, Balti-
more and Ohio, Beach Greek, Hunt
ington and Broad Top, West Vir-
ginia Central and other Roads
interested in the tidewater trade,
but not the Norfook and Western
and the Chesapeake and Ohio.
An official os one of these roads
who was shown this statement says
repeated attempts have been made
to effect such an arrangement.
Without the two railroads which
the report leaves out" he said, "it
would be lmpracticable to main
tain such combination. They
control about one-third of the out
put and are in position to break
up any arrangement. A plan of
this character with all the roads
standing together would be benefi-
cial to the operators and the miners.
Prices have been forced down so
that there is no profit for the coal
companies and railroads are hand
ling the tonnage without any net
results" He also said that no
conference on the subject had been
held as yet as far as his company
was concerned. Sun,

ulation of Maryland-why he stood
silently by and saw the Democratic
eagle consumed by the bosom of

from the heights of Allegany. Clan

the bugle-horn of Rhoderick Dhu

ence of the dagger-crest of Mar and

mel Bills majestic mien and per-
suasive eloquence been brought to
bear in Mr.. Germans defense, who
can tell what the rasult would have

man that kept the pride of Mont

orator of hitherto triumphant
Democracy, off the rural stump and
substituted himself with such dis
astrous results

After the Spaakership

Ex- Congressman Sidney E. Mudd
of Charles county, mem ber-e of
the House of Delegates, is openly
in the field for the Speakership of
the House, aud his candidacy has
received a decided boom, as several
prominent Republicans from South
ern Maryland and other sections of
the State are advocating his election
as presiding officer of the Lower
House. Among those who are
working for the ex-Congressman are
Senator Thomas Parran of Calvert
county, DR.. Washington G. Tuck
of Anne Arundel, Mr.. John W.
Belt, clerk of the Circuit Court for
Prince Georges county, and some
of the city politicians. Mr.. Mudd's
friends claim that he will get most
of the Eastern Shore vote, all the
members from the Third Legisla-
tive districe of the city, and part
of the vote from the First Legisla-
tive district.

THERE is no earthly doubt of the
fact that Hon. George L. Yelling
ton is the choice of a majority of
the Republicans of this State for
United States Senator to succeed
Mr.. Gibson. There is no doubt of
the fact that he is the choice of the
large and influential body of Dem
ocrats who contributed so much to
the overthrow of Gormanlsm. Are
they to be deprived of their choice
by an absurd law that ought to have
been set aside years ago? Is Mr..
Wellington disqualified simply be-
cause he lives in Western Maryland?
Nonsense. The Legislature should
respect the sentiment of the people
by electing Mr.. Wellington to the
Senate without the slightest hesi-
tancy.-Cumberland News.

WELLINGTON A CANDIDATE
To Succeed Charles H. Gibson In
the United States Senate.

Ine OnltoO SpdIeS SENATE
Congressman George l.. Yelling
ton, chairman of the Republican
State Committee, Tuesday announ-
ced his candidacy for the United
States Senate to Succeed Senator
Charles H. Gibson,
Mr.. Wellington came to Balti-
more from his home in Cumberland
last night, and was at the Republi-
can headquarters in the Bank of
Baltimore Building this morning.
He was seen there by Ne1cS reporter
and said:
Il have decided to enter the con-
test for the Senatorship, and | ex-
pect to win. | have had rendered
me the voluntary support of large
number Of the mem bers- elect of the
General Assembly, and anticipate
no great difficulty in securing the
party caucus nomination and the
election by the joint session.
81 am, of course, very much graf
flied at the spontaneous offer of as
sistance that have come to me from
all parts of the State. In fact, l
only decided to become IA candidate
after | had been urgently solicited
to dos so by a large number of friends,
lnclnding many members elect of
the Legislature.
"There is no necessity for repeal
ing the so-called Eastern Shore law
before the election of the Senator.
The fact that resident of another
part Of the State Is elected will be
a virtual repeal of it, and in this
instance it will be ignored. The
United States Senate, under the
Constitution, will seat any man
who is a resident of the State, and
Will ignor the law in such case, as
it is clearly unconstitutional.
Later in the session the statute will
probable be repealed as public SEN
timent seems to be against its
remaining longer on the statute
book.
Il shall make an active contest
for the place now that l have de-
cided to enter the field, and have
no doubt as to my success.
Mr.. Weiiington's friends, espec-
tally the members from Western
Maryland, are now active at work
in his behalf, and with Mr.. James
A. Gary in the field, supported by
some of the Southern Maryland
members, and with Col. James G.
Mullikin of Talbot, Charles T.
Westcott, of Kent, Phillip L. Colds
borough of Dorchester, George NJ.
Russum of Caroline and others in
the field, the fight promises to be
one of the most interesting seen in
Maryland since 1880, when Senator
German was first elected to the
place he now holds for the third
time.
1t is admitted that Mr.. Yelling
ton will have the support of COVER
nor Lowndes, and this, of course,
will give him big advantage in
the race.
During the day Chairman Well
lngton conferred with Mr.. W. W.
McIntre, treasurer of the commit
tee, and others, and the work of
the late campaign will be closed up
during the week and the headquar-
ters abandoned. BALTIC. News,
