Senator Wellington Now Chased With
His Old Enemies.
Senator Wellington of Maryland has final
ly broken absolutely his party traces, and
republicans in the state are considering the
question Of meeting his detection to the
party of Bryan. !. Nc official action Is
likely to be taken by the state organiza-
ton at this time, however. although the
demand for hts Resignation from the re-
publican seat he holds is universal through
the party. The senator's latest contribu-
ton to the campaign is the following in
terview In the Baltimore News. given
on the inquiry as 10 the truth Of the state
ment made by Gen. Grosvenor that he was
doubtful on the money question:
"Grosvenor Ia an old fool said Yelling
ton.
He n an ass Of the first water. My rec
ord on sound money Is good deal better
than either his. or AsKinley's l am a
great deal better sound money man than
either OF them. Il was a single gold stand
ard man at the ST. Louis convention, when
both Mckinley and Grosvenor were wab-
bling and. was one of the men who made
them and the balance of the alleged Ohio
sound money mems come into line and de-
clare for a single gold standard. He knows
as well IA ony one In this country that am
for the single gold standard. and 80 does
view 1t rs matter of principle with me
and not the hiftinesS Of politics.
There is no use. In discussing the money
issue now 1t -is dead as a door nail
There Ia no more Chance of the Senate being
in favor Of free silver. than of free bank
notes, and all sEch talk is the veriest rot.
1 will go further;Iandy say that If Bryan
sweeps the country there will be no chance
OF the House Of Representatives being in
favor Of free silver. The subject is settled
and dead. and go ane knows 1t any better
than Bryan. -. Il r:
How will you vote In the coming cam
paign?' he WIS asked. ~@r-3a-
II have not yettsaid and I am not ready
to say except this mnchsSI won't vote for
Mckinley. You can draw-any conclusions
you like / believe that Bryan will sweep
the country and be easily elected. On what
issues? Why. imperialism. of course and
the opposition to the grinding trusts Of this
country. a. g,-Fs>,-
