L. ",
Although the excitement incident to the
election itself. and the disturbance created
by the enthusiasm of the local silverites at
the later reports. which seemed to render
Mckinley's victory doubtful, have scarcely
subsidized, speculation is already well under
way as to who will fill the federal offices,
ana numbers of republicans have an
nounced their willingness to serve their
country IN any capacity whatsoever.
Inc local headquarters have been crowd
ed continuously since election day by party
workers of all degrees of prominence both
white and black, who are anxious to learn
what prospect there is of their being look
ed after" by Mr. Wellington and the six
Congressmen-elect. Mr. Wellington is rest
Ing al his home In Cumberland, and is for
the time being, at least out of the reach
OF local office seekers, but the gentlemen
VINO will represent Maryland in the House
OF representatives are more accessible. and
their lives are being made veritable
burden
Civil Service Bars Many.
The majority of the ward workers. who
nave heretofore neglected to inform them
selves 10 to the broad extension of the clas-
slned service by President Cleveland have
found 1t out within the last two days, and
are IN many Instances highly indignant to
learn that all the minor offices in the Gus
tom mouse, post Office and other federal de-
reach.
1t Is difficult to convince these men,
many of when held the offices they are
now seeking under former republican ad-
ministrations, that the democratic officials
are not TO be swept out soon as Nc
hlniey Is inaugurated. and it is easy to per-
celVe that civil service reform does not
commend itself to them.
Probable POstmaster
1t is the general belief among those who
discuss the distribution of the more import
ant offices that Mr.. William T. Henderson
will succeed Mr.. S. Davies Warield as post
master of Baltimore. Mr.. Henderson has
been Chairman Wellington's right-hand
man during the entire campaign, and it is
thought that the Senator-elect will iudi-
cate his appreciation of his services by do
Ing all in his power to insure his appoint
ment as postmaster. MIR. Henderson was
chairman of the republican committee on
registration, and the efficiency he displayed
In attending to this important detail of
campaign work was indicated in the ire
mendous republican vote qualified. He is
NAH whose private Character Is above re-
proach. and enjoys personal popularity
which extends far beyond the limits of his
own party.
The Collector of Customs.
Among those who are mentioned in con-
nection with the collectorship Of the port
are Mr.. William NJ. Marine and Col J.
Frank Supplee. Mr.. Marine held this Office
under President Harrison. and is said to
be anxious to regain it. Another prominent
candidate is State Senator James NJ Sloan
or Allegany county. who led the Yelling
Ton forces IN the senatorial fight at An
napois last winter. Senator Sloan is ex-
pected to be backed by Mr.. Wellington for
this place. and will in that event be a for
mida BILE competitor City Chairman Stone
is also said to aspire to this Office
Mr.. Newton S. Cook member of the house
OF delegates from Washington county, and
DR.. Samuel T. Haffner of Frederick are
spoken OF for naval officer, and ex-Marshal
William F. Airy and State Senator A. Lin
coin Dryden of Somerset are mentioned for
surveyor of the port.
Collector of Internal Revenue.
DR.. Washington G. Tuck of Annapolis is
mentioned among those who aspire to be the
next collector of internal revenue DR.
Tuck's prominence among the politicians of
southern Maryland Is likely to be recog-
nized in some substantial way, and popular
opinion has already selected this as his par
ticular prize. 1t is understood that Con-
gresSman-elect Barker of the first district
Is anxious to bring about the appointment
of Col. James G.. Mulliken the veteran
leader of the Talbot republicans as assist
ant treasurer Col Mulliken has been an
active worker in DR.. Bankers behalf dur
ing the recent campaign, and the latter is
known to be anxious to indicate his appre-
citation in some substantial form.
Mudd Out for Senator.
Attic ugh 1t has been generally known for
some time that Congressman-elect Sydney
E. Mudd is anxious to succeed Mr. Cor
man in the United States Senate, the fact
has not been announced until today, but
Mr.. Mucd appears to be entirely willing to
give his ambition full publicity, and his
announcement is expected to bring out
other candidates.
Mr.. John " L. Findlay has often been
mentioned as a possible successor to Sena-
tor German, and, should the republicans
carry the next legislature, he will unqaes-
tionably become a candidate. In the mean
time MIR. German can have the satisfaction
of knowing that only one aspir1nt has ap-
peared openly in the field, and that a full
year must elapse before another general
assembly is chosen.
The only one Of the foregoing offices that
will be vacant before June 1885, is that
of the internal revenue collector. The term
of the present incumbent, Mr.. Murray Van
diver, expires next June President Cleye-
land allowed the republicans whom he
found occupying these important places to
finish out their terms. and the PRESUMPTION
Is that Major Mckinley will follow his ex-
ample. Should this be the case the local
aspirants for the above mentioned positions
have long period of waiting to undergo
and they will doubtless be joined by MANY
other candidates before the successors IN
the present officials are installed in office.
