gard!ng the attitude of Senator We'll
Lngton, of Maryland, who is known to
be radically out of joint with the admin
istrat:on touching its politics. The Sem
ator has been quoted recently us intend
Ing to take the stump for Bryan. This
impression prevailed for some time,
when special dispatch from Cumber-
land, his home. in an obscure part Of
Washington paper announced thnt We'll
ln5ton denied ever having promised to
take the stump for Bryan. This state
ment is confirmed by friends of the
Maryland Senator, who declare that he
has not yet fully made up his mind what
course he muy take in the campaign,
although he will not actively support the
Democratic ticket That much is set
tied, they say. He will probably not,
however, take any active interest in the
election on behalf of the Republican
ticket. His position, from all accounts,
VIII be quiescent He has had trouble
with the State Republican leaders Just
as he has had with the national admin
:stration leaders, and has admitted that
he will not do any work to influence the
election in Maryland one way or the
other.
