Maryland Republicans await McComas eye on patronage
In Baltimore the Maisterites push for ex Mayor Maister to secure city support and offices. Rumors say Malster may become Surveyor of the Port, Goldsborough could be Collector of Internal Revenue, and William F. Stone seeks reappointment as Collector. Postmaster Baltimore Warfield may be kept in Washington favor. The scramble to appease factions promises acrimony as McComas governs patronage.
