The Senatorial Contest.

Halfof the Maryland Senate is elected every
two years. Thirteen Senators hold over and
thirteen are to be elected in November for
four years. Of those holding over eight are
Republicans and FIVE are Democrats. Two
Democratic counties, Hartford and Montgom-
ery, through discussions and Indifference, are
now misrepresented by Republicans. The
Republicans need six more Senators to con-
troll the Senate, and they are making a des-
perate effort to secure them. Frederick and
Washington counties will give them two OF the
six, and they are now endeavoring to elect
their candidates in Anne Arundel, Calvert,
Kent, Somerset and Carroll. Somerset u.s.
ually goes Republican, Calvert is close, and
so is Anne Arundel, by reason of local differ
epces. If the Senate should be Republican,
the Governor would be hampered in his ap-
pointments of magistrates, registers OF voters,
and other officers, for all of them have to be
confirmed or sanctioned by the Senate; and by
holding one branch of the Legislature they
would be in a position to, and would, defeat
Democratic legislation. In all ofthese coun-
ties-Calvert, Anne Arundel, Kent, somer-
set-the Democrats have even chances of sue
cess, and more than an even chance in Kent.
Calvert is likely to go Democratic also, and
the Senator from Carroll may have the deci-
ding vote. 1t will be seen, then, that very
much depends upon the election of I. Her
bert Shriver, and every Democrat should feel
it his duty to vote for him as representative
of Democratic principles.

If the Republicans should elect their state
ticket in Maryland and majority of the Leg
islature, and thus gain a United States Sena-
tor, it would be crushing defeat for the
Democracy here. Holding all the positions,
having all the patronage and controlling all
machinery of government, it would be diff
cult for Democrats to carry the state next
year. If they had carried it last year, and
again this, Maryland would certainly go Re
publican next. The Democratic victory in
Ohio last Tuesday means there just what a
Republican victory last year and this would
mean in MARYLAND.

NEW Jersey.

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. 9.-The Democrats
have gained such victory here to-day as will
give Leon Albeit a rousing start in his can
vass for Governor. The Republicans suffer a
Waterloo. The Democrats elect Joseph Z.
Haynes Mayor by nearly 1000 majority, de-
feating Henry Lang, the present Republican
Mayor.
The next council will stand seventeen Dem
ocrats to thirteen Republicans. The present
council is a tie.
The Democrats serenaded Mayor-e elect
Haynes in the evening. The result of the
election assures the state for Leon Albeit,
the Democratic candidate for Governor, in
November by 10000 majority
The Democrats have got control of the
School Board and Board of Freeholders.

The Republican state ticket is a piece of
patchwork, strung together after several in
effectual efforts to complete it. The platform
is mainly that adopted by the Washington
county Democrats, and has not the merit of
originality, but was plagiarised, being unable
to produce anything better. These facts show
the strait in which the Republican party finds
itself, and give token of impending disaster
The fact is, that party is badly Holtonized,
and the knowledge of it is chatting to the more
respectable men who affiliate with it. The
nomination of Holton was a blunder, and
even the least sagacious now see it, when it
is too late

r ocAL OPTION MEETING.

At meeting of the Local Option Alliance
for Carroll county, held at Carroll Hail. this
city, on Monday, the 8th instant the follow
ing resolutions were adopted for the future
government of the Alliance:
WHEREAS, The contingency has arisen
which necessitates the reassembling of the
Alliance, therefore be it
Resolred. That this Alliance very much re-
grets the action of the Central Committees OF
the respective political parties Of our county,
in not asserting to the submission of the Tenn
perance question to the legal voters at the en-
suing election.
Resolred, That we regard the Temperance
or Local Option element in our county to be
of too much importance, not only for Its re-
ligious and humanitarian influences upon
society, but also for the respectable character
and power of It's adherents, to be lightly es-
teemed, or ignored in a political point of
view.
Resolred, That inasmuch as the right of
petition is still in our power, it behooves us
to be firm in our convictions of right, and to
maintain our organization as all Alliance, to
continue to agitate the question of Local OPP
ton, to use all honorable means within our
power to effect the object in view, and so
marshal our forces as to be prepared to Sc
cure such formidable array of petitioners,
that our legislators shall nevertheless grant
us the reasonable and lawful opportunity to
determine at the ballot box, at special cleo
ton, and that at an early day, whether local
option shall prevail in Carroll county, or any
District thereof.

portunity for the voters of the county to de-
termine at a special election in April, 1884,

The Democrats in Ohio labored under many
disadvantages in the contest of last Tuesday
The state had always been Republican; money
was lavishly used by the Republican party,
and their candidate for Governor was assisted
in his campaign by the most eminent Repub-
lican statesmen and speakers in the country.
Judge Hoadly, the Democratic nominee for
Governor, was taken sick early in the cam
paign, and had to leave the state. He was
able to return only ten days before the cleo
ton, but his presence was inspiring and the
party went forward to victory. Besides, the
Democrats were divided in Cincinnati and
Hamilton county on local matters, and two
Democratic tickets were in the field. The
victory, under the circumstances, is astonish-
ing Indeed, and it is evident that, had not these
drawbacks occurred, the Republicans would
have been buried under 10000 majority.

Opinions on Tuesdays Elections.

From the NeaC York World.
The sweeping victory in Ohio and the re-
duction of the enormous Republican MAORI
ties in Iowa to a meagre plurality are not the
only indications of the political revolution still
going on in the country. The drift every
where is in the same direction. In Newark,
New Jersey, Democratic Mayor is elected
by a majority of about 1000. Newark is a
Republican city, and this reversal is supposed
to indicate the election of Leon Albeit by
10000 majority. In Indianapolis the Repub-
lican strength is broken and everywhere the
Democratic ball is trolling on" Cannot the
Republican leaders read the handwriting on
the wall? Do they not recognize the fact that
the people intend to prove their power to
change their public officers at their own will
Do they not begin to understand that they
must pack their trunks and leave?
From the Ne,o York Herald.
The Ohio Democrats have now gained, for
the first time, the prestige of electing their
Governor on the eve of a Presidential cleo
ton, and the advantages arising from the pos
session of the state government during the
coming national campaign That these are
advantages to the party may be taken for
granted. That the party leaders will aim to
make the most of them will be readily con-
ceoed.
From tie Neac York San.
The result in Ohio makes necessary re-
vision of certain tables recently prepared by
some of our Republican contemporaries. We
refer to the tables which show the distribu-
ton of the electoral vote for President and
Vice President in 1884. The latest informa-
ton available is to the effect that Ohio is no
longer a Republican State. Last fall she
elected Democratic State officers. Last fall,
also, she elected thirteen Democratic Con
gressmen out of twenty-one. Last Tuesday,
after a close contest and on an enormous total
vote, she chose Democratic Governor, the
first since 1877. 1t seems to be high time to
put Ohio, with her. twenty-three electoral
votes, on the other side of the table.

Democrats, the time of election is drawing
near, and you must be vigilant and active.
Every candidate on our ticket must be elected.
The state ticket and the county ticket are
equal to the best ever presented. You tasted
Repubicanism from 1861 to 1867, and if you
do not do your duty you will have, and would
deserve, repetition of that CALLING rule.

The Republican majority in Iowa two years
ago was $4,000. Last Tuesday the Republi-
can candidate for Governor pulled through
with only few thousand plurality, and the
Democrats will have the largest representa-
ton in the next legislature they have ever
had. In the sixth district, Cook (Democrat)
is elected to Congress. Coutts Republican,
elected last year, died, and the election was
to ell the vacancy.

''There is nothing, however," says the Bal

remove Ohio from the column of Republican

That sort of talk is nonsense. Last year,
on a congressional contest, contest on ma
tional issues, Ohio went Democratic, and on
last Tuesday it went Democratic on local and
state issues 1t is not worth while for Repub-
Ican papers to try to bolster up the party by
such talk. Facts are facts, and it is a fact

succession-last year on national issues, and
this year on local. The Republican party

The election in Ohio on Tuesday last was
for Governor and all other state officers, ex-
cept Secretary of State, and for members of
the Legislature. The Democrats elected the
Secretary of State last year by about 5000
majority There was submitted for ratifca-
ton three amendments to the constitution.
The first provided for a re- organization of the
Judiciary Of the state. The other amendments
related to the liquor traffic, one providing for
a license system and the other prohibited the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors.
The Democratic candidate for Governor was
Judge Hoadly, and the Republican candidate
was Judge Foraker, both Of whom live in the
same ward in the city of Cincinnati There
was prohibition candidate also, but his vote
was very insignificant, and the contest was
square between Democrats and Republicans
The vote polled was very large, and there was
full turn out. The interest manifested was
equal to that of presidential contest. The
