CUMBERLAND, Md, September 4. --
One of the most thrilling scenes In
the history Of American politics was
witnessed here tonight when Senator
Wellington, once the unchallanged Re.
publican leader OF Maryland, stood on
the same platform with Mr.. Bryan and
solemnly renowned his party because
OF its crimes against liberty and the
weak treachery Of the Mckinley ad.
ministration.
Three thousand persons filled the
hall-the Academy Of Music of Cumber-
land-and more than 10, 900 stood out
side cheering other orators The power
and passion Of Senator Wellington s
denunciation of President Mckinley
were beyond words to express, The
great multitude roared out Its greetings
to the Senator, who was great enough to
abandon his party for the sake Of the
Republic --the patriot who refused to
eat his words and smother his convictions
