Mckinney is Warmly Indorsed.
Ocean City. Md, Aug. 26.-By vote of
81 to &c the delegates to the republican
state convention today refused to en-
dorse Senator George L. wellington and
his views az TO the leadership OF the par
ty in Maryland. The clash between the
opposing factions began almost with the
fall of the gavel which called the conven-
ton to order. Senator Wellington. as
chairman of the state central committee,
took his place on the rostrum at 1885 D.
m. When the applause which greeted him
had subsided he addressed the delegates
and spectators in part as follows:
"six years ago the republican state
convention assemble here. We meet to-
day as the representative of triulnph-
art party in republican Maryland. We
past brought US no comforting reflection,
and the future seemed clouded by dam
ger and disaster. A victory was wrought
after thirty years of continuous defeat :
The halo of triumph surrounds our ban
ners and the strong hand of party or
ganization points to future success In
the onward march OF our hosts. With a
firm adherence to the tenets OF republi-
canism and with answering fidelity to
political honor, we cannot fail to enlist
dy repuhlicanism and independent
thought in our commonwealth and with
a combination of these forces victory
will inevitably follow.
with the purpose of causing such a
condition have labored diligently since
the last election. 1 have no selfish am
bitlon and set no personal advance
ment in the way of duties that are in
cumbent upon me-"
After eulogizing the policy of the ma
tional congress and extolling President
McKinley's administration the senator
continued:
with such a record for our party I'M
national and state affairs we sh Z Id be
able to ho.d with us the element with the
highest standard Of principle and nomi-
nata candidate. the very name of which
will be synonym OF political worth and
personal honor To bring about such a
result has been my earnest endeayor.
