Ketire-A Hot Campaign to Ensue.

Arthur Pue German has again been
elected to represent the State OF Mary
land in the United States Senate.
The Legislature of Maryland yesterday
decided TO send him back, and all those
Senators who have served with him are
exceedingly glad.
Arthur p. German is partisan. He is a
Democrat of the old school; Democrat
who places patriotism above party and
who, in consequence. long ago succeeded
in winning for himself the cordial friend
ship OF the men who came in contact
with him, no matter what their political
affiliations.
A Force in His Party.
German is recognized as a force in his
party. He won his enemies in the Senate
TO his support through his sterling integ-
rity. His word was never broken, and he
never permitted his party fealty to over
come his patriotism.
broad gauge man, Arthur p. German
made himself power in the party coun-
ellis. At the same time he forced his po-
litical opponents to recognize the claims
of his State for recognition. and in every
instance when he made fight he invaria-
bly, either gained concessions from the
enemy or defeated them entirely.
Wellington an Outcast.
German Will succeed George L. Yelling
ton. classed as Republican, but firm
and consistent opponent of the colonial
policy of the party now In power. Vel
iington alienated himself from the party
which sent him to the Senate without Sc
curing in return either the friendship or
the support of the opposition.
Another well-known face in Congress
sional circles will reappear on March 4.
1903. after several years of absence. Ken
lucky has elected James B. McCreary to
succeed Mr.. Deboe.
In the Lower House.
Mr.. McCreary served for many years in
the lower house, and made no enemies
He was never a brilliant star, and will
probably prove but satellite for the
forceful and brilliant Blackburn.
AS to Deboe, scarcely a hundred people
in Washington outside Congress realize
that there is such a man in existence.
He has served in the Senate for nearly
two years. but in all that time he has
remained in the background to such an
, extent that even the regular habitues of
the galleries cannot point him out to Wis
itors.
Early Senatorial Elections.
The early elections for new Senators
for the Fifty eighth Congress have oc-
| CURED. There are others OF deep inter-
| est still to be held.
Delaware has two vacant seats. Iowa
has not yet chosen Gears successor. Sem
| ator Teller. of Colorado. must go to his
| people again and Mason. of Illinois. Is
making the fight of his life against a field
of five or six.
The New York Situation.
| But of all the contests which are to
| be decided within the next fourteen
| months it is doubtful il there is one
| which attracts half the interest which
centers in the New York race. Senator
| Platt has announced himself as a candi-
| date for reelection. If he sticks to this
determination he will win "hands down"
But there are New Workers who believe
| that he will stick to his original purpose
| and retire from the contest.
Should he do SO the race will be lively
| one. with at least dozen candidates in
| the field. Among them will be three lead
| ers al the start. Ex-Governor Black, Lieu
tenant Governor Woodruff, and Repre-
| sentative James s. Sherman
