EFFECT OF WELLINGTON'S DEFEAT Some of Those Whose Political Aims Are Frustrated Thereby. QUESTION OF APPOINTMENTS Special Dispatch to the Evening Star. BALTIMORE, August 30.—Now that the excitement Incident to the defeat of Sena- tor Wellington, City Chairman Stone and the republican city machine at the state convention Thursday is beginning to sub- side somewhat the full effect of that over- throw is being gradually realized. It is generally conceded that it has knock- ed the senatorial aspirations of Governor Lowndes into a cocked hat. The governor never had any real ho!d on the party as a whole. Whatever strength he had was by reason of his political partnership with Wellington, and with the latter in a meas- tre shorn of his influence by Thursday's defeat, Mr. Lowndes has very poor sena- terial prospects. Wellington, it is true, has nearly six years of public life before him as a United States senator, and his friends attempt to make light of the effect of this defeat. It is a loss of prestige, they say, that he will soon regain. Whatever the possibility of his again becoming a power may be, this much is certain, he cannot regain his old influence in time to aid the Lowndes’ sen- atorial boom. Question of Patronage. The question of federal appointments reason of Thursday's convention assumes a new interest, as it will show whether Wellington’s impaired prestige in party leadership has weakened his influence with the President. His friends claim that he is just as strong as he ever was, and that his word will go far toward determin- ing who are to get the places. The appoint- ment to the recent collectorship of internal revenue will soon decide this. If ex-State Senater Parran of Calvert is given the place the appointment wili be regarded Wellington's reward to Parran for the lat- support at Ocean City, and also an ication that the senator is still to ulted by the President. Should Dr. Tuck or Mr. Parlett win the prize, then the discomtiture of Wellington wiil be looked upon as complete. Conservative judges are beginning to be- lieve that Maj. Alexander Shaw of Balti- more will gain mere profit from Thur day's revolution than any other senatorial aspirant. The major joined the Malster faction about three month go, and for a time about the only i-known re- publican business man identified-with th wing. Mr. Malster’s followers have alw been remarkable rather for their lo: to their leader than their indi nence, and the acc hailed with intense is The major's candidacy meets with the pproval of the best republicans in tne he is regarded by them as tie ble aspirant in the field. He is now traveling in Europe, but his boom will net be alicwed to die out during his absence, 2nd in the event of republican S$ next November, he will make a formidable bid for the prize. Mudd Also Ha» a Boo Congressman Sydney E. Mudd is thought to have hettered his position in the race by reason of his course at Ocean City. His friends are already claiming all the credit of the victory for him, and when the claims of the several senatorial aspirants are con- sidered Mudd's achievement in the recent convention will be, of course, paraded. 1t is not believed here that Mr. Mudd has gained substantially by his identification with the anti-Wellington side. Those who know him realize that his step was prompt- ed not because of any desire to see fair primaries—the recent primary election m Prince George's county bears this out—but because he foresaw the defeat of Welling- ton, and the amount of advertising which would accrue to himself by ri championing the “cause of the people.” In fact, the identification of Mudd with a prote ingt bossism and_ political wire-pulling is regarded hi the ironies of the campaign, and his ef- forts ir this connection have brought smile to the faces of those who recall the politi- cal eer of the representative from Charles county. Scott May Be Chairman. The retirement of Mr. Wellington as chairmen of the state central committee, which is one of the results of Thursday, has of course occasioned a great deal of conjecture as to his successor. Among these who are talked of is State Senator Norman B, Scott cf Washington county, the anti-Wellington leader of western Meryland. Mr. Scott he: an anti-Well- ington delegation from his county to the cerventior, and the success of those op- pesed to the senator and his methods w: largely due to his activity. He is one of the most d:stinguished citizens of Hagers- tcwn, end has 2 most creditable politica’ record. In the state senate at the last ses- sion of tre assembly he speedily achieved the reputation of being the brainiest mem- ber of his party on the floor, and ne has heen mentioned as the probable president of the next senate, should the republicans be in control. Mr. Jchn C. Motter of Fred- erick is also spoken of for chairman. Mr. George R. Gaither, jr., Attorncy General Clzhaugh’s law partner, and the leading spirit of the Malster movement, is mentioned as a possible successor to City Ckairman Stone. Mr. Gaither’s selection wculd be extremely popular at the present time, and while his political career has Leen rather varied than consistent, his shrewdness and address have never been denied. by AS Talk of Compromise. There is some talk of effecting a com- promise with the Malster men which wili give Mr. Maister the nomination and et the same time save the political existence of the machine managers. ‘The Malster men are in 10 mood now to make conces- ‘The memory of their treatment is and now that a chance of assuming ertire control presents itself, they may be relied © to grasp it. At present it ap- pears 2s if Mr. Malster will not meet with epyosition at the next primaries, but whether the organization people will retal- jate for Thursday by cutting him at the pells or not is anther question. This much can fely said, that it is fertunate that he is not being voted for for mayor of Baltimore tod: MUDD FOLLOWERS DISMISSED. Gov.

Mudd wher- ever he might lead. The fact that Howard county had done so, and that the entire vote of southern Maryland had gone against Wellington, and, as a result, has placed Mudd in the ascendancy, naturally mads the governor mad, because he saw in it his own finish. He looked around for some means with wnich to show his displeasure, and the only thing he could find was the petty revenge resorted to in the dismissal of a couple of southern Maryland men, who occupied positions in the state warehouses, and whose sole crime was daring to exer- cise their American privilege of having an opinion and sticking to it. a COLN’S ILLNESS.
