GEN. THOMAS J. SHRYocK, chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee of Mary
land, has resigned. Speaking of this action he
said: "There is but one reason for my action,
and that is want of time to properly attend to
the many details connected with the duties of
the position, which, if given, would mean
neglect to my business affairs took the po-
sition only after urgent and repeated requests
of Ex-Governor Lowndes, my predecessor hav-
ing withdrawn practically on the eve of the
battle. In the last campaign did the best
could under the circumstances. The day was
lost owing to open revolt within my own par
ty. had intended to resign then, but friends
urged me to withhold such action, and did
so until 1 thought the proper time had ar
rived" A number of gentlemen have been
named as the possible successor to General
Shryock, among them ex-Secretary of State
Richard Dallam, of Belair.

A LETTER FROM Washington to the New York
Journal states that Senator Wellington will
not support Mckinley if he is nominated by
the Philadelphia convention. The letter says:
Republican Senator George L. Wellington, Of
Maryland, will become working member Of
the Democratic party after the close of the
present session of Congress, If he keeps to his
expressed intention" Another paragraph Of
the same letter says: Moreover, he will sup
port the candidacy of ex-senator Arthur P.
German to succeed himself in the Senate.
After concluding his present term Senator
Wellington will retire to private life and at
tend to his business interests" When the
wild man of the woods" from Allegany
breaks out he generally makes the fur f1y-or
thinks he does. His saying that he will ire
tire to private life'' at the end of his present
term is very amusing. If they never saw it
before the Republicans of this State will now
see what an unappreciative mouptebank they
sent to the y. s. Senate.

In AN interview in Washington on Monday
last on the political situation in Maryland
Senator McComas said: I'VE are now con-
earned about Presidents and policies. Per
sonal appointments to Federal places should
be subordinated to these. Some time ago
suggested to my colleagues in the House Of
Representatives that they and should keep
our minds blank in respect to the principal
Federal offices if our party succeeds. do not
now speak for them, but have said to every
body that would not give moments consid-
GRAFTON to this subject before the reelection Of
Mckinley. 1 have not made any pledges and
will not. Indeed, no one has asked me to.
Everybody seems to think the primary OBJ
ject is the reelection of McKinlay and the in
dorsement of the policy of the Administration.
Upon this depends our continued prosperity
and the consistency of executive and legisla-
tive efforts to solve the new and important
problems of our new acquisitions of territory"

THE REPUBLICAN convention of New York
gave unmistakable evidences that the party in
that State is determined to give Governor
Roosevelt a second term and do not wish him
to take second place on the Presidential ticket.
This he does not want himself, and so the SEN
timent of the convention is a tribute to great
Governor which meets with the appreciation
of the country at large. Governor Roosevelt
is good object lesson in our political life, and
the admiration awarded him is sign that the
American people regard courage and honesty

plank of which reads as follows: 1--WE emphat-

tration of President Mckinley. In the whole
history of this country there has been no
period so distinctly marked by prosperity and
progress as that of the splendid Republican
administration. II furnishes most practical

of capacity and one of incapacity. Under its

in this case that seats in the United States

procured, cannot be retained by the deliberate
Judgment of the Senate. The Senate also owes
q duty to the people of Montana. who, con-
scious of the bad repute into which the State
had fallen by reason of vast expenditures Of
money in connection with its election mani
tested such public sentiment that the Legis-
lature of 1895 passed statute which, if obeyed,
would have redeemed the State from its bad
name. For the direct and gross violations OF
that statute, and the consequent discredit
which continues to rest upon the State, Mon
tana has a right 10 expect prompt and de-
cisive remedy from the action of the Senate
