MARYLAND.
The returns from the counties Of Maryland
are incomplete, but enough has been received
to warrant the belief that Mr.. Greeley has car.
ried the State by 5000 or 1000 majority. His
majority in Baltimore is SIG. The Radicals
have carried two congressional districts, elect
ing William j. Albert 10 the fifth district over
W. NJ. Merrlck, den., the present incumbent,
and Lloyd Lowndes, jrr Of Allegany, over
John Richie, dem, Of Frederick, present
member. 1t is conceded that Mr., Archer,
DEM, is reelected in the second district, by
about 300 majority. The returns from the
first district indicate the election Of Mr.. f. K
Wilson, the democratic liberal candidate. The
contest, however, is very close.
From a summing up it would appear
that Mr.. Greeley has obtained the elector-
al vote of only Georgia, Kentucky, Louis
iana Maryland, Tennessee, and probably
Alabama, Missouri, Texas and West Virginia,
which would give him eighty-one Of the three
hundred and sixty-six electoral votes. The
general footing up of representatives to Con-
gress elected on Monday and Tuesday and in
October, IN the thirty-seven States, gives 1888
to the radicals and l04 to the democrats.
The Baltimore Sun gives the following re-
view of the position Of each State according to
returns received
Alabama is claimed for Greeley, and elects
six members of Congress from districts four
Of whom are claimed by the democrats, who
also claim the two Congressman at large The
Radicals claim three of the eight Congressman,
and at last accounts laid claim to the State for
Grant.
Arkansas is claimed by both parties, Four
Congressman are elected from this State.
California gives Grant a small majority.
