THE Baltimore American and Ad-
vertiser says that five thousand Re-
publicars voted for Latrobe, the regular
Democratic candidate for Mayor
of that city, on Wednesday. We have
no reason to doubt the assertion Of the
American. Both candidates were
Democrats, the only difference being
that the Republican convention adopted
one of them as its candidate. This,
however, did not bind all Republicans
to vote for one candidate, neither did it
affect the standing of Republican as
party man to vote for either Of the can
didates. If, as is said, five thousand
Republicans voted for Latrobe they
only did 80 because they had prefer
encs for him a. a Democrat over Mr..
Heiskell az Democrat. Then again,
admitting this to be true, where will
the Democratic party Of Maryland be
when those five thousand Republican,
vote the regular Republican ticket on
the sixth of November?
