THE SITUATION IN THE SIXTH MARYLAND A Family Fight Among the Repub- lican Voters. —— WELLINGTON MEN CONFIDENT From a Staff Correspondent of The Evening Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., October 22, 1894. Events of the past two or three weeks have complicated the political situation for the re- publicans in the sixth Maryland district to the extent of reversing the former aspect of affairs, which, instead of holding out a bright prospect of success to Candidate Wellington for Congress, now forebodes his possible defeat. It is a case of a house divided against It- self, with the likelihood of the attendant scriptural fulfilment in such cases made and provided. Something About the Sixth Maryland. This district may be said to be Washing- ton’s most prominent political neighbor. Its lower end, Montgomery county, abuts upon the District of Columbia boundary line and many hundreds of people who go in and out of Washington daily upon cheir affairs of business and employmert exercise their elective franchise in “he sixth Maryland. The other counties are Washingt Frederick and Allegany, and the dis extends from the rich farming section where Barbara Frietchie detied the hosts to the coal mines of Frostburg, Lo: ning and the marufacturing and industria! city of Cumberlard, The population of . therefore, follows varying pursuits with widely differing interests, so that the song which the political siren sings 1a one sec tion must be set to an entirely different Key in another. The total the last election was 37,071, of which Mr. McKaig, democrat, received 18,889; Mr. Wellington, republican, 15,208, and Mr. Shoemaker, prohibitionist, 7) votes. In the previous election Judge McComas, now of Washington, carried the district for the re- publicans. On account of the closeness of the majorities, the district has always been considered fair fighting ground for both parties. Republican Vote Divided. Therefore, with the conditions presum- ably in favor of republican success this year, preparations were made by the re- Publicans to go into the campaign to win. Mr. McKaig, the sitting democratic mem- ber, had refused a renomination, which the republicans construed as an admission of the hopelessress of democratic success. Mr. Williams was nominated by the dem- ocrats to make the fight which Mr. McKaig declined. Then the republican convention at Frederick nominated Mr. Wellington, the candidate of 1892. Mr. Wellington’s nomi- nation was hotly contested, a fight being made upon him by the delegates from Al- legaay county, who claimed to be reform- ers setting out to destroy a ring which they alleged was dominating Allegany county politics, and represented in the per- son of Mr. Wellington. The adjournment of the convention also left bad blood in another vortion of the district, some of the delegates from Hagerstown chargiug that Mayor Keedy of that place, an aspi- rant for the nomination, had been tricked by the Wellington men. To Abolish Ring Rule. The Allegany county men went home with blood in their eye. It was expected by the campaign managers that the party split would heal by election day and thac the republicans of Allegany would come forward and vote for Mr. Wellington as the republican candidate, however much they might dislike his nomination. It was rever thought that the opposition to him would extend to the length of absolutely bolting the ticket. Yet suck has*proven to be the case. In the city of Cumberland, in the towns of Frostburg, Lonaconing and Barton, and in the outlying precincts of the county anti-Wellington clubs have been formed among the republicans. In Cum- berland the ciub has a membership of 109, all republicans, and is increasing its strength. The members not only subscribe to the doctrine of opposition to the so- called ring rule in the county, but what is far more important, they pledge them- selves to vote for Mr, Will 8, the demo- cratic candidate, A circular has been Issued by the Anti- Ring Republican Club as follows: “The campaign between Mr. Wellington and Mr, Williams is now at its height, and we believe it to be the duty of all good citi- zens wo take an active and aggressive in- terest in the approaching election. We think that you, as a fair-minded man, must know that the nomination of Mr. Welling- ton was accomplished by means which are not only not justified by political decency and clean citizenship, but that they were in violation of sound party policy and a dis- grace to the integrity of republicanism. It has become notorious that the republican party in this county is and for some years past has been under the tyrannical domi- nation of a corrupt set of machine poll- ticians, who, forgetful of the lofty princi- ples which give birth to the republican party, and which should characterize its administration of public affairs, have made this party of the people the vehicle for the gratification of their own selfish ends, rath- er than the chosen instrument for the pro- motion of the people's welfare. “We are republicans, and as such believe that the greatest good to the greatest num- ber can be best subserved by the adminis- tration of public affairs by the republican party, but above and beyond this we are citizens who believe that the best recom- mendation a party can have is an unselfish devotion to people’s interest by their pub- Ne officers. When this essential is lost by the corrupt practice of a lawless and ar- rogant minority, who by methods which suggest the necessity of a Lexow investi- gation thwart the will of the people by political machinations, then the time has arrived for all honest men who love their country and desire purity in politics to make a stand da determined stand for their country’s good. * * © © @ @ © “After an overwhelming defeat in 1892 ‘the ring,’ in violation of every party pre- cedent, has again foisted its defeated and discarded candidate upon the people.

You now have an opportunity of rebuking the ‘ring’ and defeating its further aggressions upon the rights and liberties of the people without juring your party. Patriotism comes first, partisanship after. Good local government in such a crisis transcends party success. Help us to rid this county of the incubus of the ‘ring,’ and in 1896 we will all unite to carry the ban- ner of protection on to a magnificent vic- tory. We are organising—we have organ- ized the independent spirits of the county, and we beg of you that you will place pu- tity of politics before-temporary and ques- tionable party success, and join us in this crusade for the eventual salvation of the re- publican party from the political leeches which are sucking !ts Mfe-blood in this county and district. Our motto is ‘Death to the ring. Opposition Said to Be Exten This circular is signed by H. Butler Car- penter, Harry T. Mullin, Jacob D. George, John W. Cook and George W. Rabold, as a committee of the club, who are said to be solid and reputable citizens. Moreover, it is claimed that there are other republicans in Cumberland of high standing in the com- munity who, while they do not wish to come out openly and participate in an ugly factional fight, express in private the de- termination to vote against Mr. Wellington. It is said that the Young Men's Republican Club holds this attitude, and, while taking no step to place itself upon record, it 1s claimed that the majority of the members individually are opposed to Mr. Wellington. A prominent republican politician of Cum- berland, who is refraining from taking an active part in the campaign, stated to The Star correspondent his bellef that Mr. Well- ington will lose 500 republican votes in Allegany county, and if he is elected at all it will have to be through democratic votes growing out of disaffection in the democratic ranks on account of the tariff bill. ‘The friends of ex-Congressman McComas are said to be taking sides against Wellington, growing out of a feud engendered at a nom- inating convention several years ago. ‘The anti-Wellington people are working a shrewd game to set the negro vote of the county against him. They are recalling and circulating the fact that Mr. Wellington figured in what is known as the “Lily- White” movement two years ago. This was an incipient attempt to separate the negro vote in the republican ranks, with a view to breaking up the solid south. Mr. Weill- ington’s connection with that movement, if he had any, was very slight, but it is being used with deadly effect against him now among the negroes. Wellington's Side of the Case. In opposition to this rather unpromising outlook the Wellington men set up a claim that notwithstanding all which is said to the contrary he will be elected. The writer consulted the leader of the Wellington forces in the county for this side of the case and found him confident of success and decidedly skeptical of the effect of the split in the party and scornful of the pro- moters of the bolting movement. “The opposition to Wellington 1s falling to pleces,” he said, “mainly on account of the character of the men who are leading it. They are comparatively few in num- bers and do not represent a new faction in it Is, there- the party, for they have always been ‘kickers. Furthermore, for every vote which we shall lose through these men we will gain two from the ranks of the disaffected democrats. They are in bad shape in Allegany county, and the evil ef- fects of tariff legisiation are telling heavily in the labor classes of the county. The glass works here have announced a cut of 20 per cent in wages, the tin plate works have closed down on account of resistance to a cut of 20 per cont, the miners through- out this entire region are dissatisfied, while the growers of maple suxar In Garrett are growling over the loss cf their bounty on sugar. he registration, plete in all the o while not yet com- uunties, shows a most increase. In_ this a net republican 4 the registration. The ublican organization throughout the dis- trict is better than that of the democrats, and we are making a stronger campaign.” Key of the Situation. It is believed that the vote in Allegany county will decide the election, unless Mont- gomery should roll up a phenomenal vote one way or the other, which is not con- sidered very probable in view of the re- ported disaffection among the democrats and apathy among many republicans in that county, which will probably equalize the losses. As is well known to the readers of The Star, the acceptance of the Senate tariff bill was indignantly resented by the tariff reform clement of the lower counties, and while it is not expected that many democrats will vote against their ticket, it is known that there is pronounced apathy among them, which may reduce the demo- cratic vote by the farmers staying away from the polls on election day. Progress of the Campaign. It cannot be said that the campaign is proceeding with a very lively gait in the upper portion of the district. The repub- licans have been very busy with their fam- ily fight, and the democrats have adopted a policy of non-interference, out of fear that should they make a very hot democratic canvass they might drive the warring fac- tons together again. Several small meet- ings have been held, but no determined effort has yet been made to arouse enthus- jasm. Wellington and Williams are stump- ing the lower counties, leaving this section for the last week of the campaign. The democrats are quietly trying to counteract the dissatisfaction among the laboring classes in the mining regions, but there is a strong head wind against them. N. O. M. _— Real Estate Transfers.

Democratic Leaders, However, Cons fident of Success. CONGRESSIONAL Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., October 19, 1894, The political situation in this state ree mains in doubt, if the statements of the chairmén of the various parties are to be believed. The Star's correspondent declared six months ago that North Carolina was this year in the doubtful column. There is no reason to modify the statement. Dr. John J. Mott ts the true head of the fusion movement. He has favored it for six years, Twelve years ago, when republi+ can state chairman, he secured, by means of the township chairmen, a iist of all the white republican voters, which he claims was accurate. The number was 50,000. He says there are 5,00) white populists, and that there are 110,000 negroes who must vote the fusion ticket, making 2) ~ the fusion strength. He asserts that the demo- crats cannot possibly muster ove votes, and that he cannot for his life see how they can carry the state. He makes his figures public, and declares his implicit confidence in the defeat of the democrat Ex-Chairman Simmons of the democrati¢ Party tells The Star correspondent that the democrats will positively have a good majority in the legislature, and will elect thelr staie ticket by what he terms the vsual majority of 10,000 to 15,000. He says he does not expect any large majority this year. Fusion as a whole is a failure, he asserts, Negroes say that they will not Support it. He admits that it is more com- plete in the fifth district (Settle’s) than else- where, and expresses his belief that the re- publicans are making their whole effort to cerry that district and the eighth (itowers’). In the eastern section, he says, fusion is extremely Incomplete. Sending Money There. The Star correspondent was assured on what seemed good authority that the repub- can national committee was sending no money to this state. It is now learned that upon Chairman Holton’s statement to the committee that there was a good prospect of carrying the state money is being sent to the state and ts being quite freely used. Holton’s headquarters being at Greensboro’, which fs in the fifth district, the charg being made that Holton is making his chie' ct Thomas Settle. Holton has . and these are divtributing The Star gave notice that all sorts of changes in tickets might be expected, nom- inees being put up or taken down li pets. Yesterday T. C.

The democrats are working as hard now they did two years ago, and that is say- ing @ great deal. They are getting out some lively literature, in which they do not spare the character of vulnerable oppo- nents, whether populists or republicans. Marion Butler, the populist cheirman, is the special object of their attacks. Jd is an evowed candidate for the United States Senxte, and the democrats allege that this is to be the reward of his work in bringing about fusion.

A week ago the rats admitted thet the first congressior al Gistrict was Uh doubtful one. Now they say it ts s. them, but that the third is the mort doubt- ful. Republicans who are on the state com- mittee said tcday that fusion is very com- plete in that district. They declare it to be far more thorough than the democrats wil admit or believe. The demccratic state chairman seys that advices are vived that the ninth district is absolutely safe, and that there is but trifling doubt of the first and fifth. ablican state committee met here with about haif its members It had a sessten of several hours and then Chairman Butler and Chairman Holton had a long conference. It was at first deciied to put the name of William A. Guthrie, populist, on the ticket as as- sociate justice of the supreme court, vice Henry G. Connor, the democret who de- clined to allow the use of bis name; ward another name w put up. were given for the immediate p the tickets. All the “gaps” in th judges and solicitors of the supr were filled. Tie members of both commit- tees are extremely reticent. Not Talking Much, Both popuiists and republicans have little to say just now, their reticence being more marked than at any time during the cam- paign. The democrats do not appear to mind talking about their affairs. Their tone is confident. They will find thelr fusion op- ponents alert and watching every move- ment, and ready to avail themselves of all opportunities. The democrats are doing all they can to defeat fusion and to set the re- publicans against it. They use more argu- ments with the republicans than with the populists. In the face of the more earnest work of electing the state ticket the democrats ha’ rather sent to the rear. just now the ques- tion of United States Senators, about which two months ago there was so great a stir and discussoin. But the feeling, though now latent, is none the less Intense. A man who is devoted to Senator Jarvis declares that he will surely defeat Ransom, and that the sentiment for him is so strong as to ad- mit of no doubt. The Ransom men are say- ing that the Jarvis men are the ones who are stirring up contention and making the at- tacks on the senior Senator, and that they will resent these. The fusionists are quite confident that they will carry the state by something very like 15,000—that is Chairman Butler's esti- mate. Other populists say the same thing. ‘The democrats, of course, have the machinery, but the populists say poll so many more votes than the democrats that even after the counting, 15,000 left as a margin. —_—»_——__.
