Lowndes ami Senator Wellington, and is also
the choice of Judgo Me Comas, who wants to
reach tho United States Senate.
There have been no overtures, it Is said, of a
coalition between Democrats and Republicans,
but the continued presence of iv number of Sen

that the senior bonntor from Maryland Is pecu
liarly interested in the outcome. Gov. Lowndes
sent n messenger to tho Houso of Delegates and

Well-informed politicians say tho deadlock
