THE RESULT IN THE STATE.
The Rockville montgomery county, Lndep
dent saws.

The Rockville montgomery county, Lndepen-
dent says:
"At no time since the adoption of the cOnstitu-
tion of 1867 has the Republican party achieved
such triumph in Maryland as that which it is
now called upon to celebrate. Though Baltimore
was made to give large majority for Heating
and elect full legislative ticket, political storm
has swept through the counties. from Garrett to
Worcester, and has shaken the Democracy to its
centre. Never since the Democrats seized the
reins of State government has there been such an
equal division of the two Houses of the Legsla-
ture there will be at the approaching session.
Even the most sanguine Republican did not dream
that the election would result in the choice of
eleven Republicans to the State Senate and thirty
one in the lower House, making total of forty
two for the party in the next Legislature. Where
the ring was the strongest the Republican vic
tory was most complete, and counties which
heretofore were looked upon as unalterably Demo
cratic have wheeled into the Republican column.
Our county, always good for many hundreds
Democratic majority, and relied upon to offset Re-
publican maerities in this Congressional District,
gives majority for Gorsuch, elects two Republi-
cans, Moore to the Senate and Mcdonald to the
House. Hartford, only second to Montgomery in
devotion to the Democracy, strikes down Stump,
who had been already selected by the ring as
president of the Senate, and sends Republican
to take his place, and re- places Murray Vandiver,
pronounced ring man, by Republican in the
House. Then comes Queen Anne's, always re-
liable for one thousand Democratic majority, and
the home of Mr.. Heating, which this year gives
majority for Mr.. Gorsuch To such strai gifts has
the ring come at last. The Republicans lose
three members from Dorchester and two from
Somerset, which their total losses in the State;
but these are more than Offset the Eastern
Shore, where they carry Talbot which gives them
Senator and three members of the House
Caroline, with one Senator and two members of
the House one from Queen Anne's, and one from
Somerset. In Southern Maryland the Republi-
cans have made great gains. They elect Sena-
tor and three members of the House in Charles,
the Senator and one member of the House in
Prince Georges the Senator and two members
from st. Mary's, and two members from Calvert,
total of three Senators and eight members. The
Republicans have elected solid delegations from
Allegany, Washington and Frederick. The Demo-
cratic major les in Anne Arundel and Howard
have been greatly reduced. The ring carries
Howard by very small majority. Gorsuch carries
more than onehaf of the counties in the State,
but account of the heavy vote given for his op-
ponent in Baltimore, the majority for Heating
reaches 1000. In thirteen counties out of total
of twenty-three the Republicans elect county
tickets The result must be understood a re-
Duke to the ring. In the strong Democratic
counties the anti-ring element of the party de-
clined to vote for ring candidates, and, at this
rate, it will only take one or two years longer to
capture the State from the ring bosses. So mote
