DEMOCRATIC tiCrORy rs BALTIMORE.
An election for Mayor and members
ot the City Council was held IN Balti-
more on "wednesday, Oath. II was the
most vigorously contested canvass held
in the city for many years. The Work
ingmcn' party was inauguratcd to take
votes from The Democratic party, be-
Cause u Is a well known fact that ninc-
tcnths at the wnrkingmcn of Baltimore
city arc members of the Democratic
party. Hundreds Of honest Working
men, who are Democrats, were duped
by the movement, the full significance
of which they can now sec. There were
lose votes pollcd, Of which Col. Geo.
y. Kane, Democrat, received 33.I1S,

The majority for Col. kanc over Mr.

Thompson carried two Wards, the 18th
by majority oi -. and the both by a
majority Of -. In both those Wards.
however, the Democratic candidates
for the First and Second Branch. were
elected. This shows tina, the votes
gwen TO Mr.. Thompson in those Wards
were personal votes over that Of the
ticket for the Councils. All the city
papers agree that it was the quic,cst and
ia,rcst election held for years. There
were very few arrests. for either drunk
snncss or attempt at illegal voting. II
was, indeed, a splendid victory. and
shows that the people Of srea, CIV
have not yet lost confidence in the
Democratic party. In the present in
stance that party placed good men in
nomination and a consequence the
people showed their appreciation of tina,
tact by voting for them and thus giving
them a majority larger than the most
sanguine Democrat looked for.

iALL TI"E, MD, Oct. ~, 1871.
.Hessrs. Editors Saturday. 9th
inst, was lively day among the poll
tlclans of this section Of the county.
the same being the day appointed by
the Democratic Central Committee for
the meeting Of their party of the Dis
trict tor the purpose Of listening to the
speeches Of their candidates for the
Senate and House of Delegates. The
meeting was called to order at an early
hour by the chairman, Jas. Ellico,t,
Esqur., who, after few appropriate
remarks, introduced Mr.. Robt. &. Combs.
Mr.. c. delivered an able and lengthy
address. He told the colored voters
that he recognized in good faith their
citizenship, with all that that word i'm
plies. That this was their home as
well as the white mans: that our in
terests are mutual and that we should
forget and forgive the past, strike hands
in friendship for the future. That MIR.
{. is sincere, we do not doubt God
speed him. And God touch the hearts
Of the poor, deluded freedmen, to fol.
low his advice. Mr.. Jos. II. Kew and
his urbane and industr ious colleague,
spoke in their turn, and their speeches
were listened to with marked attention.
Mr.. X. seemed to be in a joyial mood
interpreting his remarks with anec-
dotes, which elected the smiles, Sc,
Of all present. Several candidates of
the opposite party were present. and
availed themselves Of the courtesy cx-
tended them TO deliver addresses. In
consequence of Ill health, WIN. O..
Recder, Esqr., did not occupy the stand
but for few minutes. He said he
wanted il distinctly understood that he
was the workingman's candidate, and
he intended to stick, notwithstanding
II was believed that his defeat was GER
tain. Messrs. Lawrence and Dunbar
briefly defined their positions as dyed
in-thc-wool republicans. The latter
gentleman said that he was charged
with derelictiGn of duty, and when he
should have been in Annapolis attend
ing to his duty, he was quietly-if not
conscientiously-enjoying himself at
his residence on Smiths creek! He
considered it very unjust for his com.
petitors TO endeavor TO convert him, as
if by magic, into a monster Of ugly pro-
portions, etc.
The meeting passed off with naught
to mar the pleasantness OF the same,
aud, as il is perhaps the last one that
will be held down here, We can ex-
claim with Campbelrs seer:
lis the sunset at life gives me mystical lore.
And coming events cas-, their shadows before"
The actions ofthe leading republicans
in fixing their ticket, bears vita IL sad
porfents for the party. The ''lower

sincere wish OF RALYAr.
