a VERY SuREWD PLAY.-It is told
in Washington that Senator Yelling
ton of Maryland, whose party status is
quite as uncertain as Senator McLau-
rims, forced recognition from the Re-
publicans and could hav, secured it
from the Democrats, by very shrewd
play. When tho distribution of co .
mite places was under consideration
according to the story, Wellington was
notified by the Republicans that no
provision would be made for him.
Thereupon he asked Senator Jones,
the so-called leader of the Democrats
what he might expect from that side
OF the chamber, and was informed that
he could not expect Democratic adop-
ton. He announced to the leaders of
both parties that, since, in his situa-
tion, his usefulness to his Slate had
practically departed, he would at once
tender his resignation to the G Governor
of Maryland, who, he understood
would appoint as his successor former
Senator Arthur Pue German. This
caused great futter. The Republi.
cans have a Wholesale fear of the as.
tute German, and had no stomach for
his presence In the Senate at this ses-
sion, tile prospect of his appearance al
the next session being sufficiently dis.
Lurbing. Jones, for his part, saw his
leadership of the minority imperfect
and impotent as it is-doparting i'm
mediately upon the appearance of Cor
man, and he was in no mind for this
Both the Republican and the Demo
cratic leaders, therefore, revised thei
declarations to Wellington and from
each side he was assured that commit
tee places would be found for him
He chose the assignment of the Re
publicans.

with confidence TO the reelection Of

the earnest efforts Of the Republican
party of this State
On the subjects of tariff and trusts the
platform says:
'.The greatest national issue is the
maintenance OF prosperity. The pledge
given by William Mckinley of abundant
work and good wages, based on the pass
age Of a protective tariff BILL has been
fulfilled.
"The integrity of the protective prin-
ciple must be preserved. That principle
is required to maintain the highest scale
Of American wages and the supremacy
Of the American workshop. While we
would encourage business enterprises
which have for their object extension of
business and upbulding of our State, we
condemn all combinations and monopo~
lies of whatever form. having for their
purpose the destruction of competition
in legitimate enterprise, the limitation OF
production in any field of labor, or the
increase of cost to the consumer OF the
necessaries of life. and we pledge the
party TO the support of such legislation
as will suppress or prevent the organiza-
ton Of such illegal combinations.
