REPUBLICANS HOPEFUL.
Chances Of Elect1ng a Republican
Governor in Maryland Entertained.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, August 0-Republican lead
ers of prominence here think that the NOM
nation of Judge Crothers by the democratic
convention was weak one and that the
chances of electing a republican governor
are enhanced. The republican state con-
vention will be held here next Wednesday,
but a conference of the leaders will be held
prior thereto, at which an effort will be
made to reach an agreement upon a candi-
date so that there will be no friction in con-
vention.
The leaders say it cannot now be fore
casted whether the nominee will be Gather
or Goldsborough.
The republican convention Of the city
legislative districts was held last night and
delegates to the state convention selected.
There was no friction. and the utmost har-
mony prevailed. Baltimore city will send
twenty-eight delegates. who will vote under
the unit rule on all propositions.
Last nights convention approved the ad-
ministration Of President Roosevelt, and
adopted the following resolution:
THAT we will exert every effort to amend
the present unfair election law, so that
the intention Of the voter in marking his
ballot may be respected and to prevent
the rejection without adequate reason Of
more than 5000 ballots at every election
held in this state. which means the dis
reimbursement of more than $4,000 Of our
fellow-citz liens.
THAT our influence will be exerted. to the
greatest extent to procure the adoption of a
corrupt practices act by the next legisla-
ture.
THAT the delegates from this district to
the state convention unite to secure the
nomination of a candidate for governor who
will be accepted with approval by the peo-
pie of the state and who will measure up
to the high standard set by the late la
mented Lloyd Lowndes. and to that end
we bind the delegates to be selected from
this district to act unit. and the vote
of the majority of the delegates from this
district upon all questions motions nom
nations and elections shall be considered
and cast as the vote OF all OF the dele
gates"
