cure the election. 1t is fortunate for
the State to have had two such valu-
able men as Messrs. Dennis and Lee
in charge of the Treasury for the past
Two years, and it will be equally for
tunate to have Mr.. Gordy there in as
ISOLATION with Mr.. Dennis for the
EcXt two years. Citizens generally
ale still regretting that Major Lee did
not accept second term, to which he
would have been elected without seri-
Gus opposition. Mr.. Gordy however,
has every qualification for most ex-
cellent official, and the phenomenal
majority he received, show that he
pleased the electorate, and that he
has the confidence Of the public in an
extraordinary degree. To have two
such able and careful financiers in
the State Administration, should be q
cause of congratulation to all citizens
alike. Mr.. Dennis is especially well
qualified for his office. He ranks as
one of the wisest and most honorable
Of the present generation of Balti-
more bankers, he is devoted to the
interest of the City and State, and
this devotion is clearly evidenced by
tie fact that he is willing to give 50
much of his time to the public ser
vie.
The present indications are that
tht1e will be several candidates for
The democratic nomination next year
FOR the seat in the United States Sen
ate, now held by Senator Joseph l.
Fr; nee. Ex-congressman Joshua w
Niles, who has recently retired from
the office of Collector of Internal
Rerenue, is in Baltimore, in company
with his close friend and advisor, Elk
Sensto Louis M. Milburn, and these
two gentlemen are holding frequent
conferences with their friends, pre-
raratory TO the probable entrance OF
Mr.. Miles in the field as a candidate
n the near future. Ex-Congressmar
Charles P. Coady is also said to be
considering an entrance into the race
while many of the close friends oil
Ex-senator John Walter Smith say
that there is no doubt but that the
vt.eran Eastern Shore Statesman vii
go into the fight again, as there
very- little question but that he Il
willing to go back to Washington fcl
another term. The recent victory has
made it apparently certain that who
oveI the democrats may nominate
willnhave no difficulty in securing ar
election over DR.. France, or who ever
may be the republican nominee. This
has encouraged those who are ambit.
icus to represent Maryland in thu
Senate of the Republic, and the prob
abilities are that there will be severa
gentlemen of distinction in the fight
on the democratic side, when the pr
maries take place next year.
1t is generally conceded that Sena
ter William |. Norris of Baltimore
City, will succeed himself as Presi
dent of the State Senate next winter
with out any serious opposition. Mr.
Norris made a most excellent presid
ing officer. in fact he was one of the
best presiding officers the Senate ev
ar had: and his reelection without op
position will be no more than a well
deserved tribute. Who will be thu
speaker of the House is not deter
mined. There are three or four can
dictates out for the place, among
whom are Mr.. Coad, of st. Mary's
Mr.. Roberts of Prince Georges, ant
Mr.. Lee of Hartford. The impression
prevails, however that should the
Eastern Shore representatives unit
back of one of their own number HI
would be very apt to land thu
prize.
