SENATOR WELLINGTON. of Maryland, says he
has no notion of resigning from the Republi-
can National Committee. OF course not, but
any other man but him would do 80 after what
he has been saying lately. He has publicly
announced that he will not support Mckinley
if he is renominated, which he surely will be.
What right, then, has Wellington to continue
on that committee if he will not support the
party's nominee? If it were possible to do so
he should be fired at once.
