FRIDAY. JUNE 20. 1880.
CLEAR SAILING FOR
MARYLAND G. O. P

Republicans throughout tn e
State have every reason to rejoice
and feel optomistic as to their
chances in the coming Guber-
material ele ct on, as pc
litical developments during the
week indicate that not only will
they have no primary hostilities
so far as the State ticket is con-
cerned, but also that their can.
didate for the high Office of Gov.
ernor will be accorded the united
and active support of all factions
of the Party. This happy stu
alton, in contrast to the factional
strife which is known to exist in
the Democratic ranks, undoubt-
edly offers the minority party
the brightest outlook it has had
fol many years.
For the past several months
the Republicans have had two
outstanding figures who we're
considered eligible candidates
for the nomination for Governor,
and to many it appeared that a
Primary fight was inevitable.
Last week, however, these two
gentlemen, with other leaders,
placing their Party's interests
above their own. got together
and seemingly obliterated the
possibility of such a contest by
agreeing among themselves that
one should run for Governor and
the other for Attorney General.
Their action would certainly in
dicate, therefore, that instead of
relying upon the strength of
either one, they have enhanced
the chances Of Party victory by
uniting their forces and present
a solid front.
That Mayor Broening, who will
head the ticket as the candidate
for Governor, is a vote-getter
of no mean ability, has been
conclusively demonstrated in the
past. Although a Republican,
he was elected once to the House
of Delegates from a Democratic
district, twice as States Attor
ney of Baltimore, and two times
as Mayor of that City, which, by
the way, now ranks as the eighth
largest in the United States. In
his last election, he. received a
majority of mora than 1900
votes. Notwithstanding the fact
that Baltimore City is Demo.
cratic by an affiliated majority of
over 10000, and at a time when
the so.called Democratic ring
was at the zenith of it's power.
In view of h IS undisputed
strength and popularity of his
in the City, together with the
generally conceded fact that the
Republican candidate, whoever
he may be, will carry the coun
ties of the State, and the ever
increasing demand for rotation
in executive office, it is consider
ed not only a possibility, but g
very strong probability, that the
Republicans will win a sweeping
and decisive victory in the State
this Fall.
Opponents of the Republican
candidate will have to lool
far to find plausible reason
why he cannot be elected agar
his year, as itappears as though
he has demonstrated his worth
and ability as vote-getter suf
ficiently to convince even III {
most skeptical.

Having disposed Of its empeach-

on its legislating clothes yesterday
and pitched in to the business OF
passing revenue bills.
1t experienced no trouble In re-

Sanders OF Nacogdoches and r. N.
Mauritz Of Ganado. levying a tax
on 80 per cent OF the worlds sui
phur production. mined from two
Texas counties, Brazoria and Mata-
gorda.
The senate was expected to cut
the tax TO fifty cents, or maybe rs
cents. During the closing hours OF
the fourth special session it whack-
ed the house sulphur bill in half
but the house would not stand for
it. Consequently there was no
sulphur tax. With a little more
time in which to work, 1t was prob
able the two houses could talk
themselves into q compromise

SCORPIONS In
TITLE FIGHT
Saints Step Aside to Let
Collegians Enter
Round Robin

Thanks to Geo. Sanders and his
San Benito basketball club, the
Brownsville Junior college Scorpions
will compete in the championship
round robin Of the Valley Amateur
Basketball league.
The Saints finished second In the
lower bracket having won IL and
lost three games. However, injuries
and departures Slapped the clubs
strength to such an extent that
Sanders decided to step aside and
allow the third place Scorpions TO
compete for the Valley crown.
This became known here late
Wednesday morning following a
telephone conversation between
Sanders and Spitz Clark. vice pre-
sident Of the league.
Last night the Saints defeated
the Model Laundry Cleaners here
22-l9 in playing off an old pro-
tested game for which the Cleaners
held credit.
Immediately following the game,
which gave San Benito undisputed
second position, Brownsville Spokes-
men protested a game between San
Benito and Rio Hondo, stating that
San Benito used an ineligible play
er. Manager Sanders said the game
was played. but that 1t was agreed
before the contest that 1t was
strictly an unofficial tilt. Investiga-
ton bore out his contention. II
further came to light that Sanders
had made efforts to play off the
postponed game Saturday and Sun
day, but that Rio Hondo would not
agree to those dates. In view OF
this, Clark gave San Benito the Of
fetal game by forfeit.
The Junior college has won 10
and lost four. The championship
series will begin Friday night with
the Junior college playing at Edin-
