The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1882-11-18
After the Battle.

twelve out of the tWenty-three coun-
ties of Maryland are solidly Republi
can and will send Republican delega-
tons to the next legislature. If the
counties which gave Republican ma
iorities on Tuesday will elect Repub-
lican legislature candidates next year,
the Republican vote IN the House of
Delegates will stand as follows: ALE.
gany 4, Anne Arundel 4, Caroline 2,
Calvert 2, Charles 3, Dorchester 3,
Frederick 5, Prince Georges 3, Somer-
set 3, st. Mary's 2, Talbot 3, WASH
ington 4 !; total SO. leaving only eight
to make majority. These eight, it
is thought, may come from Balti-
more. At the last session there also
Republican delegates from Queen
Anneand Hartford counties, and there
is also a probability that Garrett may
send two Republicans to the House
of Delegates, which might make it
possible for the Republicans to con-
troll the next House of Delegates with
only three or four members from the
! city of Baltimore. II must also be
borne in mind that the new Third
legislative district of this city is Re-
publican and can be carried with
proper organization. 1t consists of
six precincts of the Fourteenth ward,
and all of the Fifteenth, Sixteenth
Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth
and Twentieth wards. With the ex-
ceptiOn of two, all these wards are
Republican, and should next year
choose a Republican state senator
and six Republican members of the
House of Delegates, which would
give the Republicans the control of
| the Senate as we'll as the House. In
/ the last Senate there were ten Repub-
licans and sixteen Democrats. The
terms of the senators of Anne Arun-
del, Calvert and Somerset expire, and
judging from last Tuesdays result
their places will be filled by Repub-
licans, making tie in the Senate.
The election of one Republican sena-
tor from Baltimore city will give the
Republicans majority in the state
Senate. 1t will thus be seen that
whether coalition is or is not effect
ed, there is every reason to believe
/ that the next legislature will be Re.
publican.
Such being the case, it is no wonder
that politicians belonging to the Re.
publican family are discussing the
chances Of the various candidates for
Offices to be elected by the next Cen
eral Assembly. The StalwartS are
looking forward to the election of ex-
Postmaster General j. A. CresWell to
the senatorship by Republican leg.
islature, but the general sentiment
among Republicans of all shades of
opinion is that Mr.. James A. Gary
/ Us entitled to that honor. Mr.. Gary
has made the best canvess of any Re-
publican candidate for governor since
the war, and his Congressional dis
trict has just changed a Democratic
majority of seventeen hundred into a
Republican majority of fifteen hun.
dred. Much of that is admitted to be
due to Mr.. Gary's efforts. Heis now
the Marylandsmember of the Repub-
lican National Committee 1t is true
that the next senatorship belongs to
the Eastern Shore but Mr.. Gary is
so popular in that section of the state
that its representatives would yield
upon Mr.. Gary the honor of the first
Republican United States senator for
Maryland since the war. For the
other offices, plenty of candidates will
present themselves at the proper
time. There are Republicans who
entertain the hope that Maryland can
elect a Republican governor next
/ November. Louis E. McComas, who
almost doubled Urner's majority in
the Sixth district, and Hart b. II OIL
ton, who gained brilliant triumph
in the Fifth, are named uppermost
for the gubernatorial honOrs, hut if a
city man is chosen, it is thought fit
ting that some new man, like Charles
j. Bonaparte, should be the nominee
New blood is very much needed just
now in both parties, ard the sooner
either party recognizes this fact, the
