Sore ofSoul is Old Warhorse Senator wilkinson
Correspondence Baltimore Eceniag World.
There are few politicians in sack cloth
and ashes as the result of Wellington's vic.
tory. II is said the most sorcly perplexed
penitent Of all is Senator Wash Wilkinson,
Of ST. Mary's. To him James A. Gary has
been prop and a support for these many
long political years. Was contest Ia be
won: Gary was the man TO win il. Was
an office TO be captured Gary was the
power to move. Without Gary there was
barren political desert, with him an oasis,
laden with the fruits of the political earth.
Gary did not want Wellington. Gary
wanted Gary at first He played Eastern
shore until he must have the Eastern shore
or nothing at all. Wes,cott was the man.
Wash Wilkinson had vote which West
colt wanted badly, and, if not Wesicott,
then another Eastern shore man. II was
the one return which Wilkinson could
make for the protection Of a life time. He
did not make It. How will he explain his
failure
1t is said that he started to do so by let.
ter. lie wrote three several eristles and
tore them all up. Then he made up his
mind to go in person. His heart failed
him and he retired TO pray. He is said to
feel like Adam about the time of that gar
den episode of some years since and is
tremb'ingly waiting for a voice of thunder
calling "where art thou, Wash ?"
7 fory, TOO. out or the result. For.long wears
he held the Republican party of MARYLAND
right under his thumb. Now there is an.
other boss. And Southern Maryland, too.
has gone from him He had been tossing
Mudd about like shuttle cock since Mudd
had political ambition. Mudd had To
step aside for Congressman Coffin This
was but one of the disagreeable things he
had To do. He saw a chance for release,
but he must not jump from the frying pan
into the fire He held the key TO the stu
| alton. He could make or break any of the
two or three candidates. Blu: he must
make that fact very clear to the candidate
he chose before he made him. Wellington
saw il first. Mudd saw that at one stroke
he could make political future and free
himself from the thraldom of political
past He struck and made Wellington
At the same time he made a revolution in
the Republican party leadership, or rather
completed revolution already begun.
Mudd was not all alone in this matter.
The Governor had Land, but if that hand
had not been upheld By Western Mary
land man whose name has not appeared in
The public prints in this connection, the
Governor would never have done what he
did. Judge Sloan aud Sidney + Mudd
made Wellington Senator and at the same
time performed funeral services on James
A. Gary and Felix Agnus as Republican
l~aders. Next. Ii is stated by politicians
who ought 10 know that Wellington will
look To the future rather than the past in
his action, but his friends will not suffer.

mt no extraneous qualifications,
outside the Constitution Of the
United States, on United States
Senator. That is true so far as he
stood with his credentials in his
hands on the threshold of the SEN
ate; but it was competent for the
State Of Maryland to make q COM
pact with its citizens to give in turn,
two delineated sections of the State
a United States Senator. /. was
lawful to seal the compact with
statute, and bind that statute with
the solemn oath of every member
of the Legislature. And 1t has
been equally competent for every
man who voted for George l.. We'll
lington. Of Western Maryland, to
break that oath. Sophistry may.
soothe these Republican consciences,
scared as with a hot iron by long
continuance in political misdoing,
but the people of Maryland, at
large, will view their conduct in no
other light than a violation, fla
grant and defiant, of the oaths of
office of these delinquent legislators.
This is only another instance of the
inter lawlessness of Republican
politics, although it may be washed
with the convenient composition
called "Reform. There 10 only
one way of political reform,-when
bad democrats get in power, turn
the rascals out and put in good
democrats. To elect Republicans
to reform is to make the matter
worse. A temporary stay may be
had like accident Mayor Hooper is
doing in Baltimore with few USE
less offices. But this is only clear
ing away democratic underbrush
to unmask il the end the Repuli-
can batteries of corruption"

Captain William +. Chesley, of
this county, was one of the leaders
IN the assault upon the Eastern
Shore Law. From first to last he
stood by Mr.. Wellington and dis
played the courage of his convic-
tions, not waiting to see if West
ern Shoreman would win and upon
finding it out suddenly becoming
blind to the law. While we differ
Numerically with him, we admire
HE courage. Ethically he was
wrong. but in politics. as his party
is playing the game, he is strictly
in the swim and has made himself
"A man of might among the Philis-
tines. In the gossip of politics as
given IN the city papers, Captain
Chesley's course is said to have
greatly commended him to the
leaders of his party and to have
placed him in the forefront of
Southern Maryland Republicans.
All the same. however. we think,
as long as the Eastern Shore Law
remained upon the statute books
of the State it was The duty ofevery
Marylander to obey its mandates.
