Payne, of Wisconsin, was appointed to succeed him. In the Senate, on pages 301 and 302, Wellington, of Maryland, and McLaurin, of South Carolina, should be Independents and not Democrats. Wellington was elected as a Republican, but disagreed with the McKinley foreign policy, and in 1900 supported Bryan. He is not accepted in the caucuses of either party. McLaurin was elected as a Democrat, but broke with his party on the Philippine question, he supporting the administration policy.
