WALl[IG ON. o. MARYLAND,

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Wellington. of Maryland, has come to
the front again. He is about as great
disappointment as the Republican
party has ever run mp against. He was
elected United States Senator from
his State after the Republicans had
carried it. He has not been nothing hut
Il drag upon the party ever since.
He was opposed to the war with
Spain, and has not yet understood the
Importance of it. He has lined M with
the Democrats in their foolish "in-
pcralism' business. Now he comes out
openly and says that he is opposed to
Mckinley and is ''unalterably and for
over opposed to Imperialism We pre-
sumo that he really understands what
he means by the term imperialism"

although very few men of his way of
thinking do. He does not know exact
ly what he will do as yet, whether he
will vote for Bryan or join the conven-
ton of first-cass cranks that is to meet
some time in August, in indianapolis.
and nominate a ticket for the salvation
of the Republic against the encroach-
ments of the Empire. As a matter of
fact. it does not make much difference
what it does. Being to all intents and
purposes Democrat, common honesty
would lead him, we should think, into
the Bryan camp.
