BALTIMORE. Nd. November AL
though the echoes of Tuesdays elections
are beginning to die Away the differences of
opinion among the factions of the victo-
rious republicans are becoming more evil
dent daily, and already many sharp clashes
have occurred. Many republicans are be-
ginning to assert that Tuesdays result was
strictly party victory and they are in
clined to insist upon display of partisan
ship inconsistent with the ante-election ex-
pressions of the successful candidates in
doling out the fruits of the victory
This assumption is denounced by Mr.
Wellington and the other republican lead
ers, who declare that the result Is due en-
tlrely to the cooperation of the anti-Gor-
man democrats and the Independent demo-
cratic press, and if their influence can
count for aught the pledges of the candi-
dates will be fulfilled to the letter.
The sharpest contest among the victors
is over the selection of a Senator to sue
ceed Gibson, and a number of candidates
have presented themselves. A number of
representative republicans favor setting
aside the law always observed by the demo-
c1ats of selecting one Senator from the
western and one from the eastern side of
the Chesapeake, respectively, and these
men suggest that this custom be ignored.
Wellington for Senator.
Ihey suggest that Congressman yelling
tons name be brought forward. Mr.. We'll
lingtons admirers insist that the senator
ship should be his.
Other republicans who are talked of are
James A. Gary of Baltimore county and
| the, governor-elect. Few republicans favor
| bringing Mr.. Lowndes forward at present
| however. for should he give up the gov
errorship, the president of the senate would
| be called on to fill that office, and as that
he
not consent to such a scheme.
The republicans generally hope to cap
ture the legislature two years from now,
| in which case Mr.. Lowndes will endeayor
| to succeed Mr.. German.
The eastern shore men have no idea of
| letting their right to the senatorship
escape, and number of candidates have
come forward, the most prominent being
| George NJ. Rusum of Caroline. Charles T.
| Westcott senator-elect of Kent, and Phil
| lips L. Goldsborough of Dorchester.
Legislative Schemes.
The democrats will control the senate,
nd their majority will prevent unduly par
! tisan attempts at legislation. This defeats
| a scheme of the republicans to imme-
diately reorganize the police board and re-
| district the city, schemes which certain
| republicans have been discussing since the
| election There Is considerable talk of the
| republicans combining with the anti-Gor-
man democrats in the senate, in which
case William Cabell Bruce, the hold-over
democrat from Baltimore city, will be
| elected president of the senate.
Mr.. Wellington and the other republican
| leaders favor such a combination. The anti
| German leaders in the senate are Mr.. Bruce,
Mr. Pinkney J. Bennett of Carroll and Mr..
| Oswald Tilgham of Talbot.
| Gov. Brown today said to The Star CORE
| spondeht that the democratic party should
now be reorganized and that Senator Cor
| man and Mr.. Rasin should retire from the
lna1 in how how a
| by the people at the polls and have led the
| party to defeat.
