OCEAN CITY, Md, August a6.-An the
delegates and rooters to the state conven-
| tion were up and astir early today. BY ?
O'Clock the dining room OF the hotel was
deserted, and al hands were hard at IL
| earnestly discussing the qrestion Of the
day.
The Malster people Were hopeful and
confident The organization people seemed
TO be just confident, but were a little
glum about it. Ii is hard fight to a FIN
ish. with no quarter askei or given on
either side. How il will wind up il is
| impossible to say. but this morning it looks
| for the first time as if there WAS good
| chance to pull out fer the Malster!tas. with
at least new set of primaries ordered.
This seems TO be as much as they hope
for, and in the minds of the country dele
gates who are supporting them seems TO

With this the Malster people will be per-
fectly satisfied. AZ stated in Yesterdays
Star the fight has gotten to be Wellington
and anti-N wellington. With the readiness
with which Mary lands junior senator al
ways rushes into scrap that is not neces-
Saflly his own or which c0uld be avoided by
a more sstute politician. Mr.. Wslliagton
has made Stones fight his own and is re-
solved to stand or fall with him.
Astcunds the Old Politicians.
The way he and Mr.. Stone talk to the
old politicians in the state is positively as
founding 10 some of them. This is the
| tenor of the remarks of both of these gem
t!emen when they arc addressed on the
subject: These fellows have got TO b.
knocked out, party or no party: that's all
there is to ii. They assuming to run
the republican party without even sub-

GoIdsbororgh's Asafrations.
Phillips Lee Goldsbcroueh the young
leader of Dorchester. came TO The convcn-
ticn to be nominated controller of the
state. He had no opponents that any one
Knew of. and the nomination had been
practically handed to lin on a silver plat
ter by the organization, as Messrs Wei
nnston and Stone will persist in calling
themselves.

the matter back to the peopl. for anoi her

by the Malster people. for Or. Tuch's can

Wellington, and to fly in his face at this
point is deemed extremely dangerous for
any one who expects anything from him.
Rule Rein EGIicy.
Such rule or ruin policy rs is advanced
by Nessrs. Wellington and Stone in this
fight never seen in the party before.
They will hear to compromise and
concessions They not only want their own
way in the case in point, but they want the
other fellows shut out of the Iarty. Every
body who consorts with them is contain

forced than IL is here by Messrs. Welling-
ton and Stone. They are riding TO a fall

Senator Wellington about IL o'clock. He
