BALTIMORE, Nd, August 19.-The
three-cornered republican mayoralty fight
| tn the city is being brought to conclusion
| this week which is entirely in keeping with
| the vehement character of the campaign
Tor the control of the primaries. All three
OF the factions are putting forth their ut

ana the elimination is not only indicative
| OF the enthusiasm Of the partisans Of
Messrs. Malster, Marburg and Supplee but
| Is SO nerce as to occasion those who have
the success Of the party and not of any in

| wounds which are bound to follow, the out
| come OF Mondays primaries may still be
open at the election.
Inc greatest demonstrations OF the week
| are, as has been the case all along. those
OF the Malster men. The recent meetings
| neio by this faction have never been equal
ca mere In point of enthusiasm, unless an
exception Is made of the great Bryan
demonstration last September
The Man of the People.
Inc rank ana file of the party and the
people generally seem to look upon Mr.
MASTER as their represe NATIVE, and the
appearance Of the shfpbuilder at recent
gatherings has been the subject of personal

Inc Marburg men are working no less
earnestly, and THE bitter feeling entertained
for them by the Malsterites is returned
with interest. They have entered the
light, and area prepared to win at all
hazards. The Marburay meetings have lat
teriy attained some semblance of enthu-
siasm, but the espiritiwhich animates the
machine Is not sustained by any particular
regard for the candidate, but is fed by the
most cordial hatred of the Master men,
who they fear'H may supplant them in
party control. The Situation is one that
interests both republicans and democrats
alike but the latter are more than in

German Will Not Withdraw.
Local democrats who have visited Mr..
German at Saratoga ridicule the suppo-
sition that he has ever entertained the
idea of Withdrawing, and the fact that
politicians like I. Freeman Rasin, Chair
man Harry Welles Rusk of the city COM
mittee and Thomas NJ I.anahan have had
occasion to go, to the springs since Mr.. Cor
mans arrival there is significant that Mr..
German has no intention of DESERVING the

noticeable feature of the meeting OF
the committee was the entire absence of
free silver sentiment. The, party leaders
say that little trouble need be anticipated
from the free coinage shouters of year
ago. and the very slight dissent that the
cold-shouldering of Organism encountered
at the hands of Mr.. Germans platform
has occasioned discloses the trifling hold
the theories of the silverites took upon
the democracy of Maryland.
Contests for Maryland Offices.
Republican federal Office seekers are
awaiting the return of President Mckinley
with great Impotence, as it is supposed
that it will speedily decide the contests
over the several desirable places. The
resignation of Mr.. Murray Vandiver from
the collectorship of internal revenue will
necessitate an appointment to that place,
and both Mr.. B. F. Parlett and Dr. Wash
ington G. Tuck are ready to again present
their claims.
Senator Wellington, who has been back
ing Tuck all along. Is said to be ready to
support ex-State Senator Thomas Parran
of Calvert county as compromise. He Is
warm personal friend of MIR. Parran and
the selection of he latter would not be dis
