Three Southern Counties, Ui My Re- publican, Apparently Drifting Into the Hands of the Opposi Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. LAUREL, Md., August 18, 1897. The republican situation in southern Maryland is more interesting just now than for many years past. The fight for the control of the southern counties between Representative Sidney E. Mudd of Charles, who is an aspirant for the seat of Senator Gorman, and ex-Representative Charles E. Coffin, who wants to get back the prestige which Mudd took away from him two years ago, is what will probably split the party in twain. In three of the four southern Maryland counties the primaries and county conven- ticns have been held. The only county which has not yet taken action is St. Mary's. In Charles county the Mudd fac- tion won and delegates were sent to the judicial convention instructed for Posey and Merrick for the judgeships. Calvert county was carried by the Parran element. The delegates were not instructed, nor are they pledged to any candidate for judge or senator. But they will vete at the state and judicial conventions and in the legis- lature, if elected, as Parran directs. Unexpected Opposition. \ Mr. Parran has, however, met with un- expected opposition in his county. His convention was held several weeks ago, when it was stated that everything was harmonious. But Monday another republi- can convention was held at the county seat, Prince Eredericktown, and a full county ticket was put in the field. It was an anti- ention, the “bossism” of the rt leader being denounced. The ticket selected was Dr. Samuel R. Bird, a member of the house of delegates, for state senator; County Commissioner Hall and Assistant County Treasurer Lusby for the house of delegates; ex-State Senator Ed- ward H. Ireland for clerk of the court; ex-Sheriff Elijah Bowen for register of wills, and James W. Rawlings for sherift. With two tickets in the field, the situation in Calvert is the same as in this county— Prince George's. Result of the Bolt. The tangle in Prince George's, the result of the bolt of the Coffin-Hill men from the Mudd convention, is as far from being straightened out as it was the day after the conventions. The first efforts toward a settlement of the trouble will be made at the staie convention, when the question of seating the Prince George's delegates will be taken up. If the delegates of the Cotfin faction are given no consideration whatever it will oniy tead to intensify their desire to run a separ: county and legis- lative ticket. If, ho er, they are given jeration, such as being illowed a half vote each, it may likely lead to u coinpromise. It is said a movement is on foot to have the Prince George's primaries tavestigated by the state convention, and new pri- maries held under the directi of an im- partial commission, to be selected by the chairman of the state convention. — This may be done also with respect to Calvert, re there are two republican tick- The plan is to have both the tickets now in the field in Prince George’s w drawn and a primary held in such manner that there can be no doubt as to its fair- n This movement is believed to em- anate entirely from the Coffin faction. Mr. Coffin’s Charges. With reference to the recent primaries in Prince George’s Mr. Coifia is quoted as ng: - Language fails to cnaracterize the out- rages perpetrated by the followers of Mudd in our primaries, and I'am sureethat I am safe in saying that they were the most disgraceful ever held in any section «f the state. There was no fairness or decency or common honesty manifested by them in any district in the county. In my own dis- trict they voted democrats who were well known to be such; they voted men who were neither residents of the county tor of the state; they openly stuffed the ballot boxes, and, io make things sure, they put in a lot of pudding tickets. In fact, they stopped at no crime to attain their ends. 'No party can stand such perfurmances as those instituted and carried out by Mudd. In all sections of southern Mary- land the best elements of the republican party are in open revolt against him, and the state convention should take some definite action to put a stop to such dis- graceful farces. I have every hope that the state convention will once and for all sit down on the whole business and give the ticket favored by a majority of the re- publican voters of the county the proper recognition. Such a load as Mudd is too heavy for any party to carry, and I look to see him turned down when the time comes for definite action.” The Rejoinder, Representative Mudd denies charges. He says: “The primaries were conducted fairly, and were regularly called, and all talk to the contrary is buncombe. The state con- vention will settle the matter by recogniz- ing those primaries as having been legally conducted, and the county convention held by the delegates elected at the primaries as the legal convention, and its acts valid. I have seen it stated that I have a fight on hand in St. Mary's county. If that be true it is news to m I have never heard that there was any fight between Senator Wilkinson and myself. “I don't think that there will be any se- rious opposition to Mr. Merrick, though ex- Collector of Internal Revenue Hil! of Prince George's wants to adorn the bench. I am confident that Judge Merrick will succeed himself. these Fight in St. Mary's. The attention of southern Maryland is now directed to the contest in St. Mary's county. The date of the primaries has not yet been set. The anti-Mudd forces are be- ing led by State Senator Wash. Wilkinson, who seeks a re-election. The Mudd cam- paign is in charge of Mr. Joseph Ching, a young member of the St. Mary’s bar, who desires the nomination for the state senate. The Mudd men are said to be making the same kind of a fight in St. Mary's that they made in Prince George's. Senator Wilkinson admits that he has the fight of his life on his hands and is preparing to meet it. With fair primaries he believes he can carry the county. The contention of the factions, unless peace be restored prior to the election, is likely to supplement republican disaster elsewhere, and give to the Gorman element three of the southern Maryland counties, ill of which are usually republican. The inire, therefore, is not a bright or hope- fui one for the republicans in southern Maryland. eS MAILS IN MARTINQUE. They Are Ii » to the Detrimeat . Of United States Merchants. The United States consul at Martinique reports to the State Department that the mail facilities between the United States and Martinique’ are wholly inadequate and disadvantageous to the United States. He says it frequently takes a month for a merchant to communicate with dealers in the United States. “The Quebec Steamship Company,” he says, “carries the mails from the United States to the island. A vessel leaves New, York about every twelve days and letters arriving in New York for this port (Mar- tinique) after the steamer has sailed have to wait for the next steamer. ll steam- ers of this line carry freight and land at every island on their voyage, which con- sumes from twelve to fifteen days. After leaving Martinique for Barbadves or Dem- erara vessels frequently sail from those its direct to the United States, thus ving Martinique without any mail fa- cilities whatever. In consequence of this merchants who deal with the United States and are anxious to place all of their pur- chases there are compelled frequently to goods from Barbadoes or other En- h points. The island pays no subsidy carrying the away, and as there hardly anything exported from there to United States the steamship company not care to incur the expense of iand- Eee THE REPUBLICANS DIVIDED | “*the dependable store.” (924-926-928 Ttin—T06 K sts) Irresistible values! “The dependable store” will very clearly outdo itself tomorrow in the matter of value offering.
