The nomination of DR.. Herring Of Carroll
would be great credit to the party and
he would make strong candidate. He is
not anxious to run, however, and while he
will not refuse the nomination, he will be
reluctant to take it. He told The Star cor
the only place he would willingly fill was
the state controllership, and he will prob
ably make a contest for that nomination a
year hence. Mr.. John S. Writ has an
nounced that he Is in no sense candidate,
and will not accept the nomination. He is
also looking ahead and has his eye on the
executive mansion at Annapolis.
The Third District.
A little futter of excitement is in the
air over the prospect of the Malster men
in the third district turning down Con-
gresham Booze when the latter comes UP
for denomination. This opposition is based
upon the congressman's Identification with
the administration wing of the party
and is to be taken as slap at Senator
Meiinston: The Malster strongholds lie
IN the district which extends over the
Sums, and the partisans of the mayor can
easily obstruct BooZe's progress 1t is re-
ported that the Malster men may take up
Polce Commissioner w. w. johnson as an
opposition candidate. There is absolutely
no speculation at present as to the action
or the democrats. There is not much pros
pect OF their carrying the district and very
ticket
1t is not thought that the Malster men
VIII oppose the denomination of Congress
man Mclntire in the fourth, and he now
expects easy sailing. The democrats here
as IN the third, are keeping pretty quiet

Lively in Fifth.
Matters in the fifth promise to be lively
oy reason of the fight to be waged against
congressman Mudd by the administration
wing and the possible entrance of ex-Gov-
eIhor John Lee Carroll a candidate for
'iie democratic nomination. The fight
against Mudd promises to be bitter There

IAN IAN constitute mere incident in this fight
Inc master men are anxious to retain The
upper hand. and the chairmanship of the

Inc oid republican city committee will
probably serve Until next year.
Inc democratic committee is expected to
meet June 30, and the gathering is likely
10 be important. Senator German is ex
pected to be present, and some definite ac-
tion will be taken.
On his action in sustaining the national
administration, 1T is probable that the SEN
ators stand will be heartily indorsed by the
committee. Politically the democrats are
decidedly at sea. Silver sentiment is either
cead or moribund, and 16 to / oratory and
ailuslons to Bryan are conspicuous by their
absence, and those who have declared all
along that the free coinage doctrine has
mad no genuine hold on the rank and file
OF the party in the state regard the present
status as vindication, and assert that the
silver issue is dead in Maryland for all
time to come.
