THE MARYLAND sENATORsIII
A Black Horse May Win.

81 see THE STAR says that German and Whyte
are the only candidates for the L. S. Senate
talked of in Maryland, /" said democratic politi-
clan of that state to reporter of this paper
this morning.
"Well, isn't that correct?" asked the reporter.
Answer.-"No, not now. They were the only
candidates seriously thought of until since the
election. German hasn't the strength among
the newly elected members OF the legislature it
was supposed he would have, and the proba-
bility of his defeat has suggested the names OF
others as candidates"
Star.-"W are the others?"
AnS.-"COngreSSma McLane and eX-C Congress-
man Roberts are mentioned as dark horses. Sene-
tor Whyte will be the only active competitor Of
German In the opening OF the contest, butit looks
now as II they would kill each other Off; then
either Roberts or McLane will be pushed in.
From the best computation that can be made Of
the strength OF German and Whyte, respect
lively, it looks as If neither has votes enough to
get the nomination in the caucus. Whyte has
II out OF the 21 members elected in the city Of
Baltimore and two of those elected from the
county. German expected to get members
enough from the counties to give him an easy
victory, but he has failed. The delegations from
Carroll and Montgomery counties are both
against him, and half the Cecil county delega-
tion, too. Other members here and there
throughout the state are against him, end as he
stands, he is not strong enough to get the nomi-
nation"
isor:-" What has wrought the change that
has weakened Gorman?'
Ans.:-''To tell the truth the democrats Of
Maryland were frightened before the election.
They thought the fight was close and that it
would probably push them to hold the state
next year. In this view OF the case 1t was gen.
orally admitted that man like Gornan-a
splendid organizer and political lmanager-ought
to be kept at the front. Well the result was a
sweeping and easy victory, which demonstrates
that the state is safely democratic, and hence
those who prefer somebody else to German, feel
that there is no need to make any sacrifice for
him; that they can vote according to their
preference

Political Notes.

The democratic papers and leaders of New
York are charging the republicans with fraudu-
lent counting, and the excitement growing out
OF these charges is becoming intense and bitter.
The democratic state committee, which diSband-
ed the day after the election, has been reorgan-
lied, and committees have been appointed to
watch the count OF votes. The Robinson demo-
Gratis assert that there is conspiracy between the
republicans and Tammany to count out the sue
ceSsful candidates OF the regular democracy.
The World charges that the returns from repub-
lican strOngholdS iu the state are being altered
so as to count in the republican state officers,
and democratic leaders are threatening retalia-
ton. A democratic board will have to make the
final count OF returns for state officers 50 that
there does not seem to be any advantage with
the republicans even If they wanted to alter the
returns But these charges are producing a
heated state of public feeling that Is not healthy

A Divorced Mother Abducts Her Son.

LONG SEARCH OF THE FATHER IN RECOVERING HIM.
A telegram from Norwich, Conn, Nov. Z, says:
In october Of last year Mrs j. De Trafford
Blackstone, a native of New York, visited this
city and abducted from her divorced husbands
home the only fruit of their former union, a
handsome curly headed boy but three years old.
Young Blackstone, who is the son of ex-Mayor
Blackstone, Of this city, was travelling in the
west at the time, and upon receiving news of
the theft OF his Child returned home, and has
since used various means to recover him. The
AFFAIR created much excitement at the time as
the Blackstone family are among the oldest and
WealthieSt In eastern Connecticut. The mother
OF the child was handsome actress when young
Blackstone, seeing her upon the stage in New
York, became infatuated with her and married
her. The union was evidently dStaSteful to
each for it was dissolved in less than four years.
News reached this city yesterday Of the second
marriage Of Mrs. Blackstone and Of her embrac-
ing the Jewish creed.
At half-past four this morning Mr. j. De Traf-
ford Blackstone arrived from New York. accom-
panied by his long lost child. He was at once
conveyed to his residence on Washington street
in q close carriage, and the child was imme-
diately placed In charge of a nurse, who is to
keep him constantly In sight. Much difficulty
was experienced In discovering the where
abOutS OF the child, who, 1t Is said, was con-
cealed for over six months In an uptown man.
sion on Broadway, New York. 1t Is not known
whether the mother Is aware that her Child has
Geen retaken, as she was on her wedding tour
when the boy was found and removed yester-
day.

Mr. stephens upon TiIden and the
Democratic Situation.

Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, is in Wash
ington, to attend the meeting of the House Com
mittee on Rules next Monday for the transac-
tion of business in relation to codihcation of
the rules. Mr.. Stephens declines to talk politics
or give his views for publication on the subject
of the democratic party, its condition, prospects,
&c. He differed with his party on the policy of
the extra session. and, as his foresight has proven
to have been the longest and the best, he is not
inclined to crow over the other leaders. He
thinks the democratic majority in Congress
should give their whole attention during the
coming session to needed legislation and let
President-making alone. He believes the people
OF the whole oountry-north, south, east and
and look to the future. They want REFORM"
not in words, but actual reform in the govern
ment of their affairs; that they want wise legls-
lation, and "they will support the party that
looks to their wants." He said to-day that after
two millions of democrats had resorted to arms
to put down estate rights" 1t was folly to at
Tempt to convince them by argument that what
they had put down was right. Mr.. Stephens re.
marked that he did not believe there were
dozen men in Georgia in favor OF T1lden for the
presidency; that there is strong and bitter oppo
sltlon to him, but the state would vote for him
II nominated.

OR TOTAL OF 1914 TRANSFERS
amounting in the aggregate to s5,545,97s, max
ing the average consideration of each deed of
conveyance about s2s46-being only about 30

each deed during the two greatest years known
in Washington real estate viz 1872 and 1873.
when speculation was at its highest, and whole
squares Of ground or row OF houses We're
changing hands constantly. Considering the
fact that building material, up to about three
months ago was from 25 per cent, to so per cent.
less than in either of those years, and that there
has been thus far, this year no speculative opera
tiOnS, the above exhibit it seems to me shows a
very remarkable and encouraging prospect for
Washington real estate; the transactions for the
past ten months being nearly 20 per cent.
greater than either the years 1870 or 1875
IMPROVEMENTS
1t is. I think, safe to say that the amount of
money expended during the year in this city in
erecting new buildings, repairs and improve
ments to old. has by far exceeded that of any
year since 1873. 1t is matter Of great credit to
the city, that the standard for improvements is
much higher than ever before. Four walls are
no longer considered q house or home. 1t has
become a necessity and not a luxury that
houses to rent or sell well must be substantially
built and provided with every modern Improve
houses have over those not thus constructed Is
attested by the present demand for and scarcity
of good houses for rent, Notwithstanding the
fact that so much building has been DONE In
this connection l submit an exhibit showing the

the different portions of the city of Washington

Their State Ticket Except the En-.

Especial Dispatch to The Sta1,]
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Official returns from
Saratoga, st. Lawrence, Wayne, Columbia,
Washington, Madison and Chatauqua counties
show such decided republican gains that the
result on the state ticket except for governor.
cannot be given until the official vote of this
city is announced by the board Of aldermen on
Monday. The democrats still claim the cleo
t1On OF Mr.. Beach for secretary of state and
Potter for lieutenant governor by majority
exceeding 2,O00 The attorney general and
comptroller have doubtless been elected by the
republicans and both parties cOncede the cleo

vasS, Cornell and Robinson run side by side,
there being but 40 votes against Cornell in poll
of over 10000.
Senator Conklng visited the republican COM
mittee rooms at the Fifth Avenue Hotel this
morning, where he met Senator Blaine. Both
were Informed by the gOvernOr-elect that he had
no doubt that the republicans had elected all OF
the state ticket except possibly. Mr.. Soule as
engineer The committee have returns from
eyry county, and state that their figures show
that HoSkinS is elected over Potter by 1867.
