The Result in the State.

The Democratic State ticket was trium-
phantly elected by majority OF about
$500 in the whole State The city Of Bal
timore gave the Democratic candidate for
Governor, a majority of 1906. The cleo
ton there, says the Sum- passed off much
more quietly than the heated character Of
the last few days Of bitter and personal cam.
pagn had led many calm observers to hope,
though the voting was not unattended by
serious disorders in some few localities, and
incidents occurred which cannot fail to in
spirc regret, though no one was killed. Ev-
cry Democratic candidate in the city was
elected, and the Democrats carried every
ward for the State ticket except three.
The election of the Hon. John Lee Carroll
as Governor is a signal rebuke TO the spirit
ofintolerance and oppression that would
prescribe man because of his religious be-
lief, and shows that the principles ofreligious
liberation bequeathed from the founders oil
the colony of Maryland still exists among
their SUCCESSORS. His election, too, ut this
time, is graceful act on the part of the
people of Maryland. Eminently qualified in
himself by talent, education, experience, and
personal worth and honor, it is most fitting
that the hundredth anniversary ofthe nations
birth should witness in the executive chair
of Maryland, lineal descendant of Charles
Carroll of Carrollton, who riskcd his life and
vast possessions in the cause of indcpcnd.
cnce, and who rendered such valuable service
to the State through the whole Of a long
life. We can feel just pride in our new
Governor, and know that among the Govern
ors who may attend the Centennial, Govern
or Carroll will stand the peer of any,
in all that distinguishes one man above his
fellows. Col. Levin Woolford, notwith-
standing the abuse heaped upon him by Rad
cal tongues and pens, received the handsome
compliment of 1898 votes against 2063 for
his opponent Col. Wilkins. The people of
Maryland have once more testified their con-
fidence in tried and trusted public servant
by again elevating him to the office which
he has already filled for six years with signal
ability and devotion TO the interests of tax
payers.
The election of Mr.. Gwinn over Mr.. Wal
lis will be accepted as proof that no matter
bow pur, and able man may le he can

Other States.

Elections were held in eight other States
besides Maryland, on Tuesday. The result
in all of them has rot been definitely ascer-
tanned. The result in New York at this
time is in doubt but the indications are that
the Democrats have carried it, The R,pub-
licans will have majority on JOINT ballot in
the Legislature.
Pennsylvania has gone for the Republic,
cans, IIartranf,'s majority for Governor
being 1000.
In Kansas and Wisconsin also, the Rcpub-
licans have been successful.
The Democrats have swept Mississippi
c,ccting the entire ticket in nearly every
county. They have the Legislature, and the
entire congressional delegation, with the
exception perhaps of one district, md returns
indicate success in it.
New jersey has been carried hy the Re-
pubicans, who elect 81 members of Assem-
bly,, and Democrats %.
Michigan has also gone Republican on the
State ticket. The Democratic candidate for
mayor of Detroit is elected
Massachusetts has gone back TO the Re-
pubicans; Rice, the Radical candidate for
Governor, being elected by asmall plurality
There were four candidates in the field.

Revival Meeting.

A very interesting revival meeting is now in
progress at Ebenczer NJ. f. Church, on West
Hartford Circuit. The meeting is in charge of
assisted by Rev. Il. 4. Wysong. For several
weeks the altar has been crowded nightly with
persons seeking Christ, the great majority of
whom are young men. Many have protested
faith in Christ, and the interest in the meeting
is still on the increase. The entire neighbor-
hood seems TO be moved and impressed by the
influence of the Spirit. The congregations are
large, and the best of order prevails at all the
meetings.
The Lord is surely at work among the pco-
pie, and Christian people of all denominations
are here engaging heartily in His work
God is doing the work, and to Him all the glo.
ry is due. May the good work 20 on.

THE N. Y. Press ON TIE ELECTIONS
The Herald is jubilant over the defeat OF
Tammany, and in regard to the result of the
State election expresses the opinion that
whilst not necessarily discouraging to the
democrats, it betokens a closer presidential
contest than the democratic party would
have had any reason 10 fear if it had kept
all the States il won last year. 1t adds
The certainty ola close contest will hay
salutary influence on both parties, for
neither will think il safe to make bold eX.
periments on public feeling when n few
thousand votes in some of the doubtful States
may turn the scale. The republican party
will not be so anxious for President Grant
nor the democratic party to make an infa-
alton platform, nor will either party dare
to present candidates whose character for
integrity is not impreguablc against all as.
saults."
The World ran up its flag in honor of a
democratic victory in New York, and said :
THE people of New York sustain Govern.
or Tilden and bid him go on with his noble
work. From this moment he has the aid of
that which is most successful of aids-suc-
cess itself Public opinion will gravitate
steadily toward his support, and the 5000 of
the 'off-year' Of 1875 will become ag ain

The State Election.

The Baltimore Stn says of the election on
Tuesday.
The indications are that the election in
this State on Tuesday resulted generally in
maintaining the Democratic supremacy
though leavened, it is hoped, with elements
which will modify and temper the political
atmosphere in the State at large. This being
the result it is expected to ensure the cor
rection of all absolute abuses, such especially
as have come out of the incrtness of pub
lie sentiment in the past and the want ofthat
spirit of progress in legislation which i'm,
proves laws and adapts policies to new cir
cumslances and conditions. There was yery
considerable independent voting yesterday
in this city, rs well as in some other parts of
State; but not near as much as was at one
time anIcipated-the development of the
fact in the course of the canvass that the "op-
position" was so largely under the manage
ment and control of republican partyism
having served TO excite prejudice in no small
degree among the conservative masses, and
interfered, as they believed, with the scope
and purpose of that reform which they had
marked out for themselves. In this CITY
especially had the sentiment of reform, in
volvng determination 10 rebukc bevy of
politicians who had set themselves up rs

been strongly manifested. Had therefore

ed 10 the legislative ticket for this city, as was
the manifest wish of the conservative mind
of the community, there is little doubt not
only that such an independent ticket" could
have been formed as would have been proper
ly representative of the great city OF Bati-
more, but that it would have been harmoni.
ously carried through, sustained by all the bet.
ter elements of our voting population, with
out material revision.
