AFTER w ELLINGTON MS
TOGA.
Long String Of Names That
Republicans Think Would
Look Well With U. S.
Senator Before
Them.

As usual. the Republicans are
so confident Of carrying the next
Legislature that this early in the
hunt there are a number of men
named for successor of Senator
Wellington Here is the host:
Phillips Lee Goldsborough, Of
the Eastern Shore. chairman Of
the State Committee.
Representative sidney +.
Mudd. of Southern Maryland.
Representative Gorge A.
PcaIre. of Cumberland.
Tx Postmaster General James
y. Gary. Of Baltimore City.
Tx Representative Isaac y.
Barber. Of the Eastern Shore.
lIN state Senator Lincoln \.
DRYDEN. of he Eastern Shore.
TX State Senator Charles L.
WeStc0tt, OF the Eastern Shore.
Thomas j. Shryock, of Balt,
more City. former State Treasurer.
john V Il. Findlay, of BaIti-
more City.
President John Il. Cowcn. of
The Bai more and Ohio Railroad
Company.
Mr.. toWen is not suggested rs
a Republican, He is claSsed as
an Independent Democrat, but it
has been rep ported that Senator
AicG"maS. The big chief Of the
Republicans. is favorable to Mr..
COwen for his colleague in the
Senate.
That Mudd has the long end Of
tbs $ ring DIT this time is acknowl,
edgel by all, and the man who
tries to helittle Mudd'S influence,
should the Republicans control
the next Legislature, will make ii
serious mistake. The fifth dis
trict Representative is going to
be big factor in the fight i'll the
matter of Senator elliugtOn's
successor.
That seems to he the opinion
among the Republican workers,
and it is believed that certain i'll
tluenceS are at work TO bring cat
Il number Of candidates III order
to prevent Mudd from making Il
series of effective combinations.
In he last two weeks there have
been mentioned as probable can.
didateS for Senatorial hOnorS
Representative George y. Pearre,
Of the Sixth Congressional dis
trlCt. who, 1t Is admitted, can
control the delegations from AL.
legheny aud Garrett counties,
should he desire TO enter the race,
and Milton q. Urner, of Freder-
lex county, who is expected to
name The Legislative ticket in
this county and dictate the cast
ing Of the countN's vote should
the Republicans carry it.
From the Eastern Shore, Phil
lips Lee Goldsborough, State
chairman, will, it is believed, en-,
ter the fight aggresSively. He
has strong following i'll that
section, but the opinion prevails
that he will be unable to secure
the backing of the whole Eastern
Shore delegation, since it is be-
lieved that others, eX-Represen.
tative Isaac a. Barber, eX State
Senator A. Lincoln Dryden and
eX-State Senator Charles L. West
colt will enter the race and split
up the contingent from across
the bay. In 1896 Goldsborough
was the leading candidate against
Wellington. He made his own
fight then, and it seems to be
generally accepted that he will
have to make it the same way
again, for no one expects Senator
McCOmaS to enter the lists in Mr.
Goldsborough's behalf, unless it
should become necessary in order
to defeat Representative Mudd.
1t has been Professionally ru.
mored that ex Postmaster General
James A. Gary, who is particu,
larly strong i'll Southern Mary
land, would be a strong contes-
tant for the place. Mr.. Gary has
so tar declared himself out of the
race.
