THE MARYLAND ELECTION.

Yesterdays mail brought usthe re-
turns from the lower cot mites in the
State. by which it is rendered certain
that the Locofoeos will have a majority
Of eleven votes in the lower branch oil
the Legislature, which will give them a
majority Of six on joint ballot. This nn-
fortunate result has been produced by
divisions Of the Wing ranks, which en-
abIed their opponents TO elect one mem

Ia commenting on the result Of tine
election, the Baltimore Patriot Of last
evening says:
"Those who are familiar with the pc
Iitical character OF the several counties

enabled 10 elect two more. And IN Wor
cester there were, at one time, as many
as twenty Wing candidates in the field,
and, though most Of these retired as the
day Of election approached, yet a sufi
cient number, beyond what the county
was entitled 10, remained as candidates.
and the Wings lost another candidate
there, making in these three Counties
Montgomery, Somerset, and Worcester
five delegates lost by want Of union
among the Wings, Had there been no
division in the party, We should have
elected these five delegates, and instead
Of a LocoGoco majority Of six on joint
ballot, there would have been a Wing
majority of four. AMI, with the third
delegate from ST. Mary's, a majority OF
five.

rary defeat now but strengthens our
hands for thai election, as it demon
strates the necessity of union and har-
mony. W. shall go into it as one man

election in 1886 was necessary 10 en-
sure our triumph in the Presidential

LANCAS TER OHIO BANK.

The Lancaster Gazette says:
"Although the paper of this Bank is
quoted at a discount from 10 to 90 Eer
cent. in the Cincinnati and Columbus la
bles, it will be seen from a statement Of
the Receivers, as published in our paper
that the resources Of the Bark are am-
pie not only for the redemption of the
bills but the ultimate payment of all
ofthe stock, leaving an actual surplus Of
$685. SO. 1t will also DO seen, that
the amount in circulation is small, and

We insert our table OF majorities again
to day, being able TO give returns from
every county in the State, Of which
SOM 6S are official and the balance
may be- relied on as not far from The
mark. Shannon's plurality, it will be
observed, is 3443 The vote for King
thus far, is 4,527, and TrumbuII, with
SOM other counties, to be added. Shan.
mons vote is therefore about 800 less
than Corwin's and Kings united.
From the official statements Of the
votes in the several counties, for Gov
ernor, Senators and Representatives,
which we are publishing, it will be seen
that the aggregate vote in the State is
falling off largely since l040. Corwin
s~uslaius nearly the whole loss, the Loco
rocos having polIed their full strength.

enough. We have failed, after all our
exerlions, TO call out tho entire Wing

lQUENCES.
The election, as our readers ihave
been advised, has resulted disastrously
TO the Wings OF Ohio. The great in.
terests of the State are again committed
by a minority OF the peopls 10 the keep
ing and control Of Locufoco partisaus.
The Locos have the entire Legislative
power, and, Of course, they may enact
just such laws al shall to them seem
best calculated TO seCure}the future sue.
cess of their party leaders. As We pre-
dicted one year ago, we now again pre-
diet, and call upon the reader TO mark
the prediction-tbe Loco(oco majority
will do nothing abso' uteIy nothing to
relieve the. people Of this State. That
majority will adhere with obstinate per-
tinacity to the anti banking system sha'
dowed forth in "LahamIs Law;" and,
consequently, nc bank will either be
chartered or r~e.cbarlered ia our State,
during the coming winter. Your Me-
Nu|iys, Tuylors, ByiDgtons, and Media
rvs have reaped TOO many rich harVesIs

tivated. Another and another election,
year after year, will be made to turn
upon the currency question, until the
hobby of what is miscaIled Bank Re-
form" shall literally break down under
the weight of its riders. One of the
consequences, therefore, Of this election
will be q continuation Of the LocOfoco
war upoB the currency.
The reelection Of "Penicodt Allen, !"
or the election Of some other equally
ultra anti tariff and anti bank Locofoco,
to the Senate Of the United States, will
DO another consequence, And what in
