Respecting Mr.. Sydney Mudd.

The Washington Mirror says Zone sgd
ney Mudd, of Maryland, is trying the hocus-
pocus dodge in the political campaign now
pending in that State. He is attempting TO
create the impression that he is not candi
date for the Senate, to succeed Mr.. yelling
ton. He speaks fuently about the merits OF
distinguished Republicans for that honor, but
with commendabe modesty omits to mention
his own name in this connection. He is a
candidate, just the same, but is wise enough
to know that if he were to make the announce
ment now, the better element of the party, he
fears, would take action and force him to re-
tire to the shades of privacy. Mr. Mudd is
not what can be called a fool, though in the
opinion of many he appears often as such,
especially in his recent attempt to pad the
census returns in his district. He has sufi-
cient political sense to know that if he were
to announce himself at the present time as a
candidate the issue would be Mndd and
Muddism, and everybody knows that Mudd-
ism is the next thing to dirt, and all dirt is
not clean by any means, neither is Mudd's
political record, and therefore he is well
named Mudd; and Mudd it will be, but more
intensified, after the ballots are counted.
''He imagines himself the dark horse, and
at the proper time that is, what he thinks will
be the proper time, he will herald his candi-
dacy in true Mudd style. The Republican
party in Maryland can boast of some distin-
guished men, but the least distinguished of
all, either in Maryland or elsewhere, is one
Mudd.
''Unless all signs fail Arthur P. German
will be the next Senator from Maryland. Mr..
Mudd has been reelected to the next Con-
gress as representative, much to the dis
credit of his district, to his State, and the
country at large; and let it be hoped that after
the 4th of March, 1908, Mr. Mudd will have
so far disappeared in the dim and misty po-
iiical past that he will never be able to be
found
