The overlooking scourge, of which Judge
Black warned the Republicans last winter, is
upon them. Ohio has slipped from their
grasp; their majority in Iowa has dwindled
from $4,000 to nearly nothing; and it is al
most certain the Democrats will carry Penn
sylvania this fall. Even Massachusetts is
regarded as no longer certain for the Repub.
licans, and well-informed politicians will
not be surprised if the Democratic candidate
for Governor is elected. The fate of the Re-
publican party is written by all these signs as
plainly as the doom of Beshazzar on the wall
1t has performed its mission, and will perish
What party will in the future be arrayed
against Democracy, no one can foresee.

PIMLIco RACEs.-The annual meeting of
the Maryland Jockey Club commenced ON
Tuesday with larger attendance than was
ever known on the opening day. The chief
attraction was the promised great race be-
tween the famous great horses Ten Brock,
Tom Ochiltree and Parole. The event being
duly heralded as a sight to be enjoyed per-
haps not more than once in creation, there
was general desire to witness the contest,
and accordingly hundreds of persons from
the various counties of the State, who had
never seen the flyers at Pimico, wendell their
way to Baltimore Monday and Tuesday.
The House of Representatives, even, adjour-
ed over Tuesday to allow the members to at
tend the race.
The Senators were more shrewd than the
Representatives, and remained in session on
Tuesday but adjourned over until Thursday:
A great disappointment was experienced,
however, as Mr.. p. Lorillard deemng the
track too heavy to show the utmost speed of
his horse procured postponement of the
race until Wednesday.
Several well contested races took place on
Tuesday, the winners being Wash Booth
King Faro, Duke of Magenta and Algerine
Wednesday the long-expected race took
place. Ten Brock, on account of his bril-
liant record, was the favorite. The average
of the pools was-Ten Brock 81, 200, Tom
Ochiltree $500, parole $685. The excitement
when the three celebrated horses came upon
the track was great. A fair start was made,
and Parole remained in the wake of
the other horses until the last half mile,
when his rider sent him to the front, and
won the race, two and half miles, by four
leughts, in 4.374. Parole is four years old
and is owned by Mr.. P. Lorillard, ofNew
York He was sired by bennington, out
of Marden by Lexington. The winning
horse and his rider were vociferously ap-
plauded.

BALTIMORE CRY ELECTIoN.-The Balti-
more city municipal election, on Wednesday,
resulted in the election of Col. George P.
Kane, Democrat, for Mayor, by the handsome
majority Of 1891, and the entire Democratic
ticket for City Council in every ward.
Mr.. Joseph Thompson, Workingmens
candidate for mayor, carried the thirteenth
and twentieth wards by small majorities.-
Mr.. Henry M. Warfeld, independent candi-
date for mayor, received very small vote
The total vote of the city was 81, 091, OF
which Col. Kane received 33,19S, Mr..
Thompson 1887, and Mr.. Warfield 536.
In 1875, when the contest was between
Gen. Latrobe and Mr.. Warfeld, the total vote
of the city was 53,707, and Mr.. Latrobe's
majority was 2,765.
The election was characterized by no dis
order, and but few arrests were made. The
saloons were rigidly closed and there was no
drunkenness. The election was fairly con.
Quoted, and many Republicans, including a
number of colored voters, voted for the Dem.
ocratic candidates The communistic prin.
ciples openly avowed by Mr. Thompson and
his supporters had the effect of arraying all
the peace and order-loving citizens on the
Democratic side.
Col. Kane, the mayor-elect. is man OF
ability, great purity of character and large
experience in municipal affairs, and the PEG.
pie of Baltimore only consulted their best
interests in selecting him for the place.

SCRIBNER FOR NovEMBER.-The November
number of Scribner, the first of its fifteenth
volume, is exceedingly attractive, both in read
ing matter and in illustrations. Edward Eggles-
TONS new novel "Roxy," is begun. Henry
James, DR., has short story in this number,
Bret Harte poem, John Burroughs tramping
paper entitled GA Bed of Boughs," and George
M. Towle sketch of Theirs. One of the most
readable articles is one of ,ScriJ,,er's sporting
series, entitled "Canvas-back and Tcrrapn," by
W. Mckay Latian, q well-known Baltimore
journalist. The paper describes the methods
OF hunting and cooking ducks and terrapins;
and as we Marylanders pride ourselves on these
famous productions of the Chesapeake Bay the
article possesses a rare home-interest 1t is
illustrated by the author. Frank r. Stockton
gives a glowing description of Nassau and its
winter climate. Col. Warnings usefully and
amusingly illustrated papers on the saddle.horse
are begun, the first article being devoted TO
thoroughbreds and Arabians. There are other
interesting articles.

Amusements," "The Bondage of the Pulpit
and indications of Progress" The Old Cabin.
